Review: Mili Power Crystal External Battery Pack for Gadgets


DSC04421 by nicholaschan.

After searching around for so long for a external battery pack, finally I found Chinese made MiLi at Switch World Expo that held at Gurney Plaza lately. I wanted an external battery pack to charge my phones, the Nexus One and Nokia N95 8GB when they run out of battery. I feel that having an external battery pack is better than swapping battery because swapping battery need to power it off and on again, very troublesome.

But with an external battery pack, it’s different. Just plug it into the phone it will charged like from the power at home.

It’s actually a rechargeable battery which can be charged then output with a USB and then connect it to any of your gadget device. You can charge your iPhone or whatever thing with the USB. It’s very easy to use too. There’s two color, black and white and I picked up the blacked one.

Opening up the box, there’s the little battery pack, it’s very small and very light, come with a pouch, USB cable and a few connectors for your phone and gadget.

It’s a finger print magnet with it sleek glossy surface. A full charged of the MiLi will allow you to charged your iPhone for 2-3 times. I uses it on my Nexus One though. Very easy to use too. Pressing on the center button will indicates how much battery is left. If the blue LED is on, means there’s still power.

Just plug it into your phone, then press the center button, it will start charging your mobile phone or gadget. One thing, the charging is very fast, it’s a lot faster than the power from your computer’s USB.

Good buy and I bought this form RM129 (around US$39).

Blue Notification Light on Google Nexus One Trackball


Google Nexus One has a trackball on the bottom and it flashes when you have notification like text messages, email, Twitter or other stuff. Usually it’s white in color and just recently, I found out blue light flashing at the trackball when I receive text message. Cool! It happened after I’ve updated my Android to Froyo 2.2. Do you get this or have unlock other color?

HTC Legend and HTC Google Nexus One


When I first get my Google Nexus One, I was the only one among my friends who uses an Android mobile phone. So far, I have friends use iPhone, Symbian, Sony Ericsson, Blackberry, Windows Mobile but no Android. So I assumed I was the first among my friends who uses an Android.

And now, I found a friend who uses Android too and he’s Kenny, a geek like me, just signed up for DiGi’s DG Smartplan and bought the HTC Legend on a discounted price. I guess more and more people will go for Android already because Maxis and DiGi are selling it.

HTC Google Nexus One still rocks with bigger screen. Haha, but my rival HTC Desire is cool!

Best Skins Ever, Full Body Skin for Google Nexus One


IMG_0760-2 by nicholaschan

The order of full body skin by Best Skins Ever a week ago is finally here! Shipped directly from the United States to Malayia. Took them around 10 days to arrive, pretty happy when seeing it in my letterbox.

There’s actually a similar one call Invisible Shield but I prefer Best Skins Ever because it’s cheaper and I’ve use it before on my iPod touch last time. Well, you know I am a very extreme person, I may get scratches and phone drop a lot, so I need a protector to protect my phone.

It’s a full body skin so it applies all part of my phone. The down side of having this is you can’t feel the nice feeling of the phone, it’s plasticky and rubberish a bit now.

But it’s still cool. The applying process take quite a long time because I need to make sure it’s in place correctly and need to wait it to dry only I can apply the other section. But after applying and let it fully dry for one day, it looks very good.

Toss It, An Addictive Android Game


IMG_0556 by nicholaschan.

I am not a gaming person, but due to boredness, I went to look around the Game section in the Android Market app store and downloaded a few games. One of which is Toss It.

IMG_0557 by nicholaschan.

Your aim is to toss the paper or other junk into the dustbin. Very simple. It requires touch and a little bit of angle thinking because there’s fan which disturbs your tossing. Unfortunately, this game doesn’t use the accelerometer built in your phone. Yet, it’s still a good time-waster while you’re on the cab, bus or train.

Manage Your Data Usage on Android with NetSentry


I realized that my Nexus One uses a lot of data. Although I do have a data plan, but sadly, it’s not unlimited, I only have the 500mb data plan and unlimited data plan is rather expensive for Maxis.I turned of Gmail syncing and now it only auto sync Calendar and Contact.

I need to test use for another month to see whether 500mb is enough for me or not. The only thing I must not do to make sure that I won’t use a lot of data is Youtube, as you know Youtube sucks a lot of data.

Unlike my old Nokia N95, there’s no data counter on the Android. But after some searching in the Market, I found an application that can shows how much data you have used and auto resets every month. It’s called NetSentry, better than NetCounter IMO.

I set 500MB data limit, so I assume there will be a notification when reaching the limit. Hopefully, 500MB is enough for me or Maxis must revise their data plan rate.
