I previously mentioned them having a prototype over 1.5 years ago but it seems that they have finally got a production unit. From their Facebook page it seems to have started selling in December (in my last of connectivity, I must have missed it). It is currently priced at B$290 on QQeStore They have hit a good price point, but with an older version of Android (not even 2. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/30/the-bmobile-pure-budget-android-phone/ Wed, 30 Nov 2011 06:14:13 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/30/the-bmobile-pure-budget-android-phone/ The bmobile Pure is a budget Android phone running Android 2.2 and has pretty device specs but a pretty good 3.8" high resolution screen. The high resolution 3.8" screen makes it nice to read and surf the Internet but the 256MB RAM may be limiting for multi-tasking and general smoothness of the device. I was not able to get the Flash apk to try install and test Flash on the device but the 600 MHz CPU may not be capable of Flash, so I wouldn’t expect it to run. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/25/iphone-4s-pricing-in-brunei/ Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:29:23 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/25/iphone-4s-pricing-in-brunei/ iPhone 4S pricing in Brunei (mp3) https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/23/the-acer-aspire-s3-ultrabook/ Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:44:28 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/23/the-acer-aspire-s3-ultrabook/ I stumbled upon the Acer Aspire S3 at Netcom at the Mall and it being the first Ultrabook in Brunei, I just had to take a look and play around with it. It is a 13" ultrabook which a form factor similar to the 13" Macbook Air meaning it is thin and light but without an inbuilt DVD drive. Ports are similar to the Air with two USB 2.0 ports, one full HDMI port, SD card reader and a 3. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/15/convergence-2011-from-success-to-significance-recordings/ Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:18:56 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/15/convergence-2011-from-success-to-significance-recordings/ I had the pleasure to help out at Convergence 2011 and thought I would record it as I do most events I’m involved with.

Seems to share all the same common good specifications for a budget phone but a slightly larger screen and slightly cheaper at B$350. Quick Specifications- Android 2.3 320 x 480 pixels, 3.2" capacitive screen 1GHz Processor 512MB RAM 320MB for applications 5 megapixel camera w/ 720p video Front facing VGA camera xLOUD™ loudness enhancement makes it possible to listen loud without distortion. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/11/creating-a-brunei-apple-app-store-account-without-a-credit-card/ Thu, 11 Aug 2011 02:09:54 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/11/creating-a-brunei-apple-app-store-account-without-a-credit-card/ As mentioned in our episode of Corner Geeks 8: The Brunei Apple App Store, the video below documents how to create a Brunei account without a credit card. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiH8eg8G0do Do note: not all apps seem available (e.g. WhatsApp) but most seem there. no music / movies / TV shows available AV mentioned that they currently selling Brunei iTune gift cards The gist of the process: Load the App Store in iTunes Search for a free app (e. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-pro-a-great-budget-android-phone/ Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:30:47 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-pro-a-great-budget-android-phone/ Among my usual habits, I will check availability and prices of phones on Incomm and I was surprised to see the Xperia Mini Pro going for B$378. This phone seems to be a phone I would buy, if I didn’t buy my LG Optimus One, as a great budget Android phone which seems to have the least compromises. Check out the video that I managed to get at Incomm as I played with the device. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/04/29/ipad-2-launch-in-brunei-2/ Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:48:42 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/04/29/ipad-2-launch-in-brunei-2/ So today was the launch of the iPad 2 in Brunei and @mfirdaus and I managed to do a bit of live streaming coverage. I got there just before 9am and noticed that there already was a queue of about 10 people but soon after that when the AV staff arrived on the scene they put up a proper queue with queue posts and a with a nice little sign. I asked the AV staff on hand about how many units they have, and was told “alot” and not to worry.
