Setting up #Android with #IndosatM2 Broom

I’ve had it with XL, my tolerance is over my threshold for patience. I turned to Indosat M2’s Broom Unlimited. For IDR 200.000 I got 3 GB of data at max speed and throttled down to 64 Kbps for overusages. It’s a good enough deal :) So here’s the settings for your Android phone: Name: im2 - change this to whatever you like APN: indosatm2 Proxy: <Not Set> Port: <Not Set> Username: fill this with the username you registered your SIM card initially.

Poligami ala Augmented Reality

Akhir-akhir ini saya yakin sudah sering mendengar istilah Augmented Reality (Realitas Tertambah). Jika ditelusuri perkembangannya, aplikasi AR sudah ada jauh sejak generasi HP dengan kamera terintegrasi.

Saya kira definisinya dalam Bahasa Indonesia kurang tepat jika dibandingkan dengan definisi Bahasa Inggris menurut Wikipedia: Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are augmented by virtual computer-generated imagery.

Elsewhere in the world, people are capped by the Megabytes of data they send and receive. [Read More]

Mobile Augmented Reality, A Basic Tutorial - Part 1

On my last post, I mentioned the definition of Augmented Reality (AR). Now I’m adding the word Mobile to it. At the current time, platforms that I’ve tried to developed upon supporting AR are iPhone and Android.

Mobile Blogging

This is my premier mobile blogging post. I must say I didn’t expect Wordpress to create its own Blackberry application. I was quite disgusted with Wordpress' email-to-post feature. Just didn’t seem mobile enough lol. With the enormous growth of Blackberry users in the world (particularly in Indonesia), I guess Wordpress doesn’t mind a bit of Java coding to grab a piece of the pie. Anyways, I haven’t dissect the application thoroughly. [Read More]
