I finally decided to roll out a few apps for the local Android fans. So far, 3 localized apps are already available in the Google Android Marketplace. These include the Brunei Showtimes, Brunei Guidebook and Brunei Traffics. All three requires Internet connection on the user’s mobile phone in order for them to work properly.

Brunei Showtimes allows user to view now showing movies, movie schedules and theater information. Additional features include trailers, ratings, plot info, film director and casts. In addition, user can easily make bookings through phone. Three cinemas are currently support i.e. Empire cinema, Mall Cineplex and Seri Qlap Cineplex.

On the other hand, Brunei Guidebook is incredible useful and easy tool to help user get company’s address and phone numbers through simple search keywords or category browsing. Now, Bruneians and tourists no longer need to bring along their bulky address book wherever they go. Additional link: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.dev-directory-zmwix.aspx

Finally, this brings us to the Brunei Traffics apps. Basically, it provides a shortcut list of the various available webcam feeds deployed around Brunei Darussalam. Selecting any item on the list will bring user to the RTSP streaming window for live playing. Additional link: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.dev-traffics-zjpFw.aspx

More apps will be out soon. Stay tuned!

His partner, King Seh Haur, said, “It is not exactly like eBay but there will be more features than eBay forums and stuff people can discuss.”
