Good Android Based Phones Collection

1. Samsung Galaxy Note

The Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 represents all that’s terrible and all that’s exciting about the modern era of smartphones. The Note however was quite a hit with the business class users as it came off as a device that managed to offer substantial speed with its 1.4GHz Dual Core and a large enough display to get work done on the fly.

The screen has a resolution of 1280×800 pixels (which puts it in the same corner as Android tablets such as the Motorola Xoom, the Acer Iconia Tab and the Lenovo Ideapad K1) and boasts of Pentile Super AMOLED technology (that trades overall quality for more power efficiency and pixel density). The Note has 16GB of internal storage and supports up to 32GB of microSD storage although it doesn’t come with a card in the bundle.

The Samsung Galaxy Note is a huge device and as a result, whether you would want to buy it really depends on whether you are able to look beyond its size and bulk (although at about 180g, it’s not really very heavy). The Note also features plenty of video codecs built in to handle all format runs on Android Gingerbread with an ICS update on the horizon. The Samsung S-Pen or Smart Pen stylus can also be quite handy for both work and play or just jotting down notes.

2. Sony Xperia S

Sony’s latest high-end Smartphone in their Xperia range was only recently launched for India and is the first device launched under the Sony branding (minus the Ericsson). It has a 5 Megapixel camera 2592 x 1536 Pixels resolution with autofocus, dual LED flash and Geo-tagging, Touch Focus. Secondary Camera VGA, 0.3 Megapixel, 640×480 Pixels resolution. Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a 2G network can access Quad-band GSM support of GSM 850/900/1800/1900. Dual-band 3G that is HSDPA 900/2100/.

It’s equipped with a 1.5GHz Dual Core processor and comes loaded with Sony’s Bravia Mobile Engine to enhance your visual experience.This is also the very first Android powered device to come with a 12 megapixel camera. The camera settings include 3D panorama Sweep and geotagging amongst others. The unique transparent strip at the bottom of the handset also adds a bit of class and sex appeal to the overall look and feel of the handset that’s quite robust in design as it is.

The Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone in the U.S. to feature the latest version of Android, dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich. It features a 4.65-inchHD Super AMOLED display and runs a 1.2-GHz dual-core processor. The Galaxy Nexus also boasts NFC, so users can tap into Google Wallet, as well as tighter integration with Google Voice, letting you use your main phone number as a Google Voice number.

It’s the only phone running Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), and that’s the future. In many ways, this is the ultimate early adopter phone. The phone itself isn’t perfect; typically, Nexus phones aren’t the best hardware on the market. But the software takes a major leap forward, with everything from a better Gmail experience to a faster browser and the ability to put folders on your home screens.

This is physically the biggest phone I’ve seen recently, measuring 5.3 by 2.7 by 0.4 with a sprawling 4.65-inch, 1,280-by-720 Super AMOLED screen. The display is too big for people with smaller thumbs to use one-handed. The Galaxy Nexus connects to Verizon’s 3G CDMA EVDO Rev A and 4G LTE networks, as well as to Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0. I got excellent speeds on the 4G LTE network, consistently better than the Droid

RAZR: Downloads ranged from 5.2Mbps up to a stunning 20.7Mbps, and uploads ranged from 4Mbps to 9.5Mbps. You can share your connection with up to 10 devices as a Wi-Fi hotspot, so it’s great that ICS now includes an easy-to-read settings pane showing your moment-by-moment and app-by-app data usage.

The HTC One X features a beautiful, high-definition, 4.7-inch display, with 1280-by-720-pixel (720p) resolution. Under the hood, the HTC One X is just as impressive. It features Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon S4 CPU, a 1.5-GHz dual-core chip with faster graphics and improved power efficiency. There’s also 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and the usual compliment of GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth radios.

It’s very well built, with top-quality plastic around the back and sides with a nicely textured matte finish. I did miss the gradient anodized aluminum housing on the HTC One S, though. A prominent silver ring surrounds the camera lens on the back, and protrudes slightly, just enough that the phone tilts a bit when sitting flat on a table.

Calls sounded clear through an Aliph Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset, although voice dialing doesn’t work over Bluetooth, which is a pesky and unnecessary limitation. The speakerphone got very loud, but sounded tinny; at least it didn’t distort heavily. Battery life was solid, at 9 hours and 9 minutes of talk time while connected to LTE.

HTC adds a Car Mode, which displays a beautiful landscape home screen with large icons for easy access while behind the wheel. This includes the free Google Maps Navigation, as well as icons for making calls, streaming Internet radio, and calling up music tracks stored on the phone.

5. Motorola Droid RAZR

The top Android smartphone you can buy today, the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx combines the best materials, Razr Maxx has the longest Talk time of any Verizon Wireless phone we’ve ever tested, along with the longest video playback time and the longest 4G streaming time. A truly gigantic battery. What you get is a smartphone that’s ready to be used to the max.

Tests run over the past few days, the Razr Maxx checked in with 16 hours, 45 minutes of continuous 3G talk time; 14 hours, 15 minutes of playing a locally stored video with the screen at maximum brightness and one email account attached; and 6 hours, 57 minutes of continually streaming audio over a 4G LTE connection. Razr Maxx is also one of the most expensive smartphones on the market.

The Droid Razr Maxx is thicker than the original Motorola Droid Razr, but considering how slim the Razr was, that isn’t a hardship. The phone is 5.2 by 2.7 by .35 inches (HWD), as compared to .28 inches depth on the older phone; basically, the whole handset is now as thick as the camera “bump” up top, smoothing the body out.

More importantly, like the Razr this is an extremely well-built phone—rock solid, with a water-resistant back, a steel core, and a Gorilla Glass display. The back panel has a black and gray pattern and feels slightly grippy; the front resists even greasy fingerprints. A door on the side panel hides the SIM and MicroSD card slots, and the phone comes with a 16GB card as well as an additional 16GB of internal storage.

The Droid Razr is superior for many reasons including better battery life, better physical materials, and better call quality and radio reception, for instance. That all outweighs the OS downgrade, although we wish we didn’t have to choose between the best hardware and the most current OS.

4. SMC EZ Style Pad SP100 Android E-Pad, Touch tablet PC

There have been regular Tablet launches in the Indian market. SMC Networks is one of more known names in the market, who have come out with their own tablet called the EZ StylePad. The Stylepad has a 7” touch-screen display with 3 touch sensitive buttons on the right next to the display for Home, back and menu function. The display is a resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. On the left side is a small light indicator that changes colour to indicate battery status.

On the bottom is a SD card slot to expand memory. The device comes with a charger, a stylus, mini USB cable and a carry sleeve.

5. Dell Mini 10 Laptop

The Mini 10 with the Atom Z530 processor (1.6GHz) that we tested costs $534 as configured. The price puts our Mini 10 beyond the usual upper limit of a netbook (though units start at under $350). In addition to the Atom Z530 processor, In this 1GB of soldered-on RAM, 802.11g Wi-Fi, an ethernet jack (10/100, not gigabit), three USB ports, headphone output, mic input, an HDMI-output, and a slightly higher-res screen than most 10-inch netbooks (1366 by 768). Frankly, the extra resolution doesn’t do much at this size, and you’ll find yourself squinting to read on it. You could always increase the size of icons and fonts and such, but Windows XP doesn’t handle such resizing very gracefully. The reason for that video kick is in no small part due to the optional on-board HDTV tuner that came with our unit.

6. HP Mini 1000

The large, comfortable keyboard remains–and is the HP Mini 1000′s best feature–while the CPU has been upgraded from the Via C7-M to the Intel Atom. At $549, our review unit is about $50 more than our self-imposed Netbook price cap, and it surpasses the $500 mark without including a pricey, yet preferred (for a Netbook), solid-state drive. Our model features a 60GB (spinning) hard drive; SSD options up to 16GB are available.

Nikon J1 Digital Compact Camera Reviews

Admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:01:44 +0000

Ever wondered, why are all the SLR cameras come in kind of size and shape, with a long, flat back and viewfinder housing at top center? These allow you to take great pictures, of course, if you have a good eye for them, even in the hardest situations, but these are huge and clunky to many users. Why the hell, in this digital age with no film to be drawn behind a shutter, can’t cameras be smaller and of comfort design?

Now, this brings us to the Nikon 1 line. Let’s try the J1. It’s not pocket-sized, but it’s a small, flat camera with interchangeable lenses, considerably enhanced image quality than most point-and-shoot cameras, color rendition in low fluorescent light is impressive and a additional features or accessories within.

Pros: Very small body, with solid feel; Fast AF; No-nonsense interface. Excellent video capture and Good picture quality.

Cons: Body could be smaller for sensor size; High ISO isn’t as good as other compact system cameras; Battery life below average; Weak flash; Confusing controls.

Price and Availability: The Nikon J1 shipped in the US market from October 2011. The J1 is sold in three different kit versions, all of which include a 10-30mm zoom lens. The single-lens kit has suggested retail pricing of around US$650. Two twin-lens kits, which add either a 10mm prime lens or a 30-110mm zoom lens, are each available for about US$900. The Nikon J1 is sold in a variety of body/lens color choices that let the fashion-conscious match their own personal style. Body and zoom lens color choices include black, silver, white, red, and pink, while the prime lens is available in all of these except pink.

Basic Specifications:

Resolution: 10.10 Megapixels
Kit Lens: 3.00x zoom 10-30mm (27-81mm eq.)
Viewfinder: LCD
LCD Size: 3.0 inch
ISO: 100-6400

India’s Android Tablet Aakash Review

Admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 07:03:12 +0000

The much awaited India’s ultra low cost Aakash tablet is finally launched. In association with Ministry of Infornmation & Technology (India), Datawind launches Ubislate 7 in India as Aakash. Aakash Tablet is set to bridge the big India DIGITAL DIVIDE. Its main objective is to provide students of India, especially in its countryside, a cheap alternative to PC. Through Aakash tablet, students in India would have access to good quality study content like video lectures, e-books etc.

Aakash tablet offers a web delivery platform that enables quality and interactive knowledge over the internet. The tablet is a computing device that is low in cost but rich in features. The tablet is also integrated with social networking applications like facebook, twitter and with email.

Here we look at its features:

Screen: 7-inches; 800-by-400 pixels; Resistive touchscreen
Operating system: Android 2.2, Froyo
Processor: 366 MHz Connexant; HD Video co-processor (both with graphics accelerators)
Memory: 256MB RAM (internal); 2GB Flash (external)
Storage: 2GB card included, expandable up to 32GB
Ports: Two USB 2.0; 3.5mm audio out jack; 3.5mm audio in jack (No built-in speakers)
Connectivity: GPRS; Wi-Fi 802.11 a,b,g
Power: Up to 180 minutes on battery; AC adapter, 200-240 volt
Weight: 350 grams

If analyze it deep, there are some negative points of it as well. The tablet screen, which is pressure sensitive, responds rather slowly to gestures. It’s certainly not as dazzling as the high-end tablets but that can be expected by its price. Browsing Internet and running the apps, one could easily notice that the response time is also quite slow. Scrolling, for instance, is a swipe-and-wait affair. A goofy plastic cover protects the screen, slowing down the touch response considerably.

Overall impression that this tablet gives us that it is built for performance. Many of those likely to use or own the the Aakash Tablet will never have used a desktop computer, and it’s possible that they never will.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus – A Range of Positives

Admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:27:54 +0000

The Galaxy Nexus has been released as a phone that offers the best of Samsung and Google – a marriage of excellent hardware and excellent software. The device looks quite similar to the Nexus of old, though has many of the Samsung tweaks that make a phone a solid and undisputedly nice piece of work. While the hardware is fairly impressive, not all areas are the most cutting edge. What is really the standout feature of the Galaxy Nexus is the new Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android.

Samsung has included the same 1.2Gz chip in the Galaxy Nexus that it has in the Galaxy S2 – meaning it is a slouch in no way. The phone is very fast and also very capable and, with 1GB RAM, is better suited for multitasking and for slightly more ambitious use than devices like the iPhone 4S. With less hype surrounding it, Galaxy Nexus contracts are also available for a much more affordable price than those for Apple’s current flagship phone.

The coming of Android Ice Cream Sandwich also added a certain element of smoothness to the interface and it really manages to impress even the most experienced Android users. The new Ice Cream Sandwich brings a number of nice additions to Android. The most technologically impressive improvement comes with the face recognition software to unlock the phone – however it is tweaks to the notifications bar and in other little areas that make it all the more user friendly. The Galaxy Nexus really benefits from this and Google has thought of a number of things to make the phone all the more user friendly and continue on the ground it made with Android Gingerbread.

The screen on the phone is also very impressive and at 4.65 inches in width it is by no means a small screen. This Super AMOLED display offers all that is needed for amazing images and for browsing or for watching footage it is one of the best screens available from any manufacturer. Its ability to pick up colours and the smooth movement involved in the phone make it a wonderful sight. Samsung have not just increased the screen size but also the resolution, with the Galaxy Nexus being the first phone to come with a 720p screen resolution.

The phone itself impresses in the looks department and it is quite slim at 8.8mm and also feels a lot smaller than you would imagine it to be because of the rounded edges on the phone. In fact we found little problem fitting it into trouser or coat pockets and though it seems large it doesn’t feel much larger than many of the 4.3inch phones out there – which obviously works in its favour.

We must say we liked the Galaxy Nexus and can see Samsung doing quite well with this eagerly anticipated phone due to the mixture of power, innovation and the introduction of the excellent game-changing Ice Cream Sandwich. If there is one mobile phone contract that you should look into buying this year – it is for the Galaxy Nexus.

There was a time when the dual SIM market was mostly dominated by the ‘desi’ handset makers. Taking the cue from the success of dual SIM handsets in India, now the mobile giants have joined the big league too as we recently heard that Nokia, Samsung and Micromax have entered the dual SIM bandwagon in India.

In fact, the dual SIM phones are becoming more popular and there is big demand proportionate to the market in this part of the world.

Although, its too difficult to sort out the best dual SIM cellphones in India, as the volume of devices being too big to handle, we have tried to list the new released handsets with some unique features and pricing other than the dual SIM capabilities.

2011 Chrysler 300 Wheels, Hemi, Specs and Pictures

Admin — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:31:42 +0000

“If there’s one thing we want you to know,” said the executives launching the 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan, “it’s that this is an all-new vehicle.” It’s not, but it is better.

When the revived Chrysler 300 sedan came out in 2004, banishing the front-drive imposter to the company’s mainly historic brand, it hit as lots of sweet spots as “Shampoo”-era Warren Beatty. It wasn’t just the rear-wheel-drive, the Hemi V8 or the Mercedes-influenced suspension; it was the styling a modern take on a Bentley hot-rod that looked huge driving to the opera or mowing down gunmen inside Liberty City. Before Jay-Z dropped his jerseys for Armani, the 300 made the elegant tough and gangsters elegant.

But after a small number of great years, the 300 and the rest of Chrysler fell to the dogs of hell — Cerberus Capital. The survivors of Auburn Hills speak about the dark days where no cost was too big to consider cutting. By February 2009, anyone with a modest checkbook could have bought the 300. Not the car, the entire vehicle line: the factory, tooling, brand rights, down to Walter P. Chrysler’s autopen. Several companies, including Chinese automakers, kicked the tires and passed, in fraction because Cerberus had decided that every Chrysler vehicle interior would be shod by means of rubber from Zippy the Pinhead Retread’s President Day’s Special.

Now, in the Fiat era, so much of what’s new concerning the 300 comes two years after it should have arrived, but to Chrysler’s credit the reworking does go beyond basically turning in late homework. It’s still the old platform, but with each part redone, reused or recycled into something different.

There was a stab at weight loss; the hood is now aluminum, and the base model clocks in a small number of pounds below 4,000. There’s new steel underneath, including sound-deadening panels and bolstered security good enough for the requisite insurance industry “top pick.” The bad tires have left back to China. And then there’s the exterior styling, which shares nothing with the previous generation for better and worse.

It’s never simple to follow a truly great car design, and Chrysler’s designers bravely attempted further than a nip-n-tuck. The front headlamp of the 300 and other Chryslers is now supposed to resemble the eye of a bald eagle; the grille ditches Bentley for an Audi-esque profile, the sides get sculpted and there’s yet a vestigial ridge on the trunk harkening back to Virgil Exner’s 1957 tail fins. It unmoving looks distinctive, but the chrome accidents add unwelcome bling, and the entire hangs together about as simply as a Fugees reunion.

Inside, the improvements commence at the top. While the windshield gained a degree or two of rake in the redesign, Chrysler also lowered the belt line and raised the top edging of the glass, boosting visibility. The IP has a blue-chrome Tron feel, and the crown of the dash merges nicely with the new corporate touchscreen system, which isn’t as confusing as the industry average.

Yet under the dash equator, things don’t work as well. I suppose the world has decided sham wood is still acceptable, but just because “Matlock” comes on in reruns doesn’t mean I’ll ever watch it. The seats keep their throne-like comfort at the expense of some bolstering, and rear passengers still have ample room, even if Chrysler isn’t bringing back the long-wheelbase version yet or directly targeting the limousine crowd next the imminent demise of the Lincoln Town Car.

The best of the 300 still comes with the 300C and its 5.7-liter Hemi. Chrysler blocked building rockets for NASA in the 1970s, but the 300C does a joyful impersonation of a Saturn V in a straight line, hitting 60 mph just a only some tics after 5 seconds and extra-legal speeds speedily thereafter. The Hemi has been tweaked up to 363 horsepower and 393 lb-ft of torque; if that’s insufficient, we should see an SRT version at the New York Auto Show shortly.

The new engine to the party, the corporate 3.6-liter “Pentastar” V6 rated at 292 hp and 263 lb-ft, makes a strong indictment of whatever committee resolute that the previous 2.7-liter base V6 could hustle two tons of automobile. It’s by no means in the similar thrill category as the V8, and much of its power comes far above the ground in the rev band, but for the highway cruiser and rental customer, it’s sufficient. Both engines must dance with the 5-speed automatic born when the Macarena was still considered funny; its 8-speed replacement should come online in a few months.

On the twists near the border through the engine’s ancestral Mexican homeland, the 300C hustled around curves dutifully, with no drama for the Border Patrol spectators. If it feels perhaps a tick less lightfooted than the all-wheel-drive Taurus, the 300 at least provide some polite idea of road feel, more than could be said for the Hyundai Genesis that Chrysler provided for comparison powerful and post-lunch naps.

After several decades in business, Chrysler has garnered more second probability than Charlie Sheen, but the last brush with conclusion was its most severe. Getting back to business means making every model aggressive after years of neglect, and the 2011 300 meets that object and then some. It’s not the clear style leader, and without that the 300 suffers from a small identity crisis among other luxury huge sedans. But there’s now time to think about what’s next, and we’d politely offer one idea of a direction: When even NASA can’t build its own rockets now, maybe Chrysler can again.

Data Card War – BSNL Vs Tata Vs Airtel Vs Reliance

Admin — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 08:09:03 +0000

In India, 3G is buzzing everywhere like Tata indicom photon 3G and Reliance Netconnect 3G, BSNL 3G. What about the other data cards like: EVDO BSNL, Tata Photon Plus etc. Let me take a opportunity to present them before they wash off from market with the entrance of 3G technology.

There are two types of data card available in India:

High speed data cards: All data card except 1x, which gives more speed are high speed data card. These data card like bsnl evdo data card 2.4 MBPS or reliance data card 3.5 MBPS comes under this category.
Low speed data cards: All 1x data card which gives speed from 144 kbps to 250 kbps are comes under low speed data cards.

Note: Many of the below mentioned options must be verified in different areas, in your area the results may differ.

Reliance NetConnect Plus:
Reliance is currently the best wireless connection in India which can be used for both Reliance Data Card Netconnect laptops and desktops and the monthly subscriptions start from just 400 Rs/month unlimited plans for every month and currently a promotional offer is running where in a free data card is offered. The download speeds are ranging from 15-25kbps when you opt in for unlimited data download package which is the best download speed offered in India on wireless internet connections.

Tariffs:

Upto 800 Rs per month for 3 GB
1100 Rs for 10 GB
1500 for 15 GB

Advantages:

Well Coverage
National Roaming

Disadvantages:
Advertised 3.1 mbps on limited cities only (1.5 to 2 mbps practically) Other places it’s only 144 Kbps(Basic CDMA 1X network).

Tata Indicom Photon:
Tata indicom broadband offers a internet compatible connection for laptops and PC’s where in you can surf internet anywhere in India it definitely depends on the area in which you live, If nothing else is available and TATA indicom WLL phone has good reception there is nothing wrong in selecting TATA Indicom’s WLL service walky with internet speeds up to 153 kbps though the practical speed is 20kbps only. The USB modem rental starts from 99Rs/month with time based and data based plans.

Tariff:
- Upto 1500 for 15 GB only 50 Paise per mb beyond fair use limit.

Advantages:

Better upload/download speeds.
Works easily with Linux.

Disadvantages:
- Limited cities coverage

BSNL EVDO:
BSNL has burnt in the phone number and hence the EVDO comes with a phone number on it. The user id is the phone number prefixed with area code and password is typically the last 4 digits of the phone number. You can take Bsnl 2.4 mbps data cards on rent or you can by it directly. BSNL’s GPRS / EDGE in postpaid is very cheap starting at Rs 150 with unlimited option of Rs 349. With its WLL data cards it offers unlimited internet faster than dialup for just Rs 250 per month and this was much better than I expected even in a rural area. But some part of country it is not getting good responses. I think tower may be far from the original location.

Tariff:
650 Rs month for unlimited plan

Advantages:

Well connectivity
Unlimited usage
Attractive Tariff

Disadvantages:
Poor customer service

Airtel Data Card:
Airtel’s Wireless enables Internet, Email, and Office applications with real-time secure VPN access to corporate applications whilst on the move. Airtel Data Card is the superior PC Data Card solution which delivers wireless internet capabilities to laptops and notebooks, by providing EDGE and GPRS technologies in a single PC Card package. That time it was on unlimited plans of 500 rs per month. But this data card was not working in other states. Still it’ was very unsatisfied that time but you can check the performance of data card in your region.

A Man – Had No Food or Drink for 70 Years

Mon, 03 May 2010 04:33:54 +0000

Prahlad Jani – A man who is claiming not to have any food or drink since last 70 years is being held in a hospital in Ahmedabad, Gurjarat, where he is being closely monitored by India’s defence research organization, who believe he may have a genuine quality which could help save lives.

Can you imagine a person who is living without any food for last 70 yrs? Think again…

He has now spent more than 7 days without food or water under strict observation and doctors say his body has not yet shown any adverse effects from hunger or dehydration.

This man claims to have left home aged seven and lived as a wandering sadhu or holy man in Rajasthan, is regarded as a ‘breatharian‘ who can live on a ‘spiritual life-force‘ alone. He believes he is sustained by a goddess who pours an ‘elixir’ through a hole in his palate. His claims have been supported by an Indian doctor who specializes in studies of people who claim supernatural abilities, but he has also been dismissed by others as a “village fraud.”

India’s Defence Research Development Organisation, whose scientists develop drone aircraft, intercontinental ballistic missiles and new types of bombs. They believe Mr. Prahlad could teach them to help soldiers survive longer without food, or disaster victims to hang on until help arrives.

“If his claims are verified, it will be a breakthrough in medical science,” said Dr. G Ilavazhagan, director of the Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Sciences.

“We will be able to help save human lives during natural disasters, high altitude, sea journeys and other natural and human extremities. We can educate people about the survival techniques in adverse conditions with little food and water or nothing at all.”

So far, Mr. Prahlad has not eaten or drunk any fluids in six days and similarly has not passed urine or a stool in that time. He remains fit and healthy and shows no sign of lethargy. Doctors will continue observing him for 15 days in which time they would expect to see some muscle wastage, serious dehydration, weight loss,and fatigue followed by organ failure.

Most humans cannot survive without food for 50 days. The longest hunger strike recorded is 74 days.

Let’s see till when Mr. Prahlad keep his spirit up, BTW, hope for the best. It’ll be a new record for India.

Another Tata Nano Fire Accident

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:36:16 +0000

See the picture and you can actually imagine the fact a new Tata Nano caught in fire.

Silver color Tata Nano No. = MH03-AW 913, with A/C and a power steering features, probably one of the top Nano model of worth 2.4 Lakh rupees burst on Express Express Highway at 3:45 pm on Monday, 22nd March’10.

Mr. Satish Sawant, an insurance agent, collected his brand new Nano car from Prabhadevi showroom and only after 45 mins, he saved himself from this accident when a motorcyclist told him about fire. Satish & his driver both jumped out the car.

This is not the 1st time, Nano is burning. Already 2-3 Nano cars have been burst. There are no comments from Ratan Tata yet but we hope to hear very soon from him or his team.

Now the questions arises:

What about people safety?
Is money less important than human’s life?

No doubt, we all are happy with cheapest car model produce in India but these types of accidents creating big questions on the reliability of Nano. What do you think people, share your views.

Bing Mobile vs Google Mobile?

Admin — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 09:13:44 +0000

: Bing vs Google Mobile

Mobile devices that need info fast without all the glamour of the standard Google site. Bing has been rising in the charts but needs to find a way to continue to grow; that’s mobile Bing.

For reminding this is a Microsoft product because the Bing team keeps present something new for users. For example, in making Bing mobile, they added some mobile-specific features that will perk interest. The first is flight information, simply go to Bing and enter in flight number and you’ll be given gate info, departure and arrival info. That is super handy for mobile users that actually are mobile as they rush across the airport.

The NFL Feature is another new feature. Simply enter the name of your team or player and you’ll receive info on schedule, standings, and while the game is on you’ll get real-time stats. Super handy for data freaks and desire.

Not a big list but the Bing team will be adding support for more devices in the near future. Bing has added a special version for mobile touchscreen devices such as iPhone, T-Mobile G1 or Samsung Omnia.

Bing Mobile might even look good on a Windows Mobile device. Used the touchscreen version of Bing mobile to search for movies and compared to the same search on Google, the Bing Mobile search was much better looking, more complete and offered trailers without any extra work. It is worth checking out and with clear, short data you may find you don’t need a full featured browser on your mobile device. You will like it.

Relation between Cell Phone and Brain Tumor – Latest Study

Admin — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 06:03:38 +0000

Relation between CellPhone and Brain Tumor

A new bit of data has emerged about the idea of cell phones and the brain tumors.

Seems that Environmental Working Group released data just recently that detailed just how much radiation you’re sucking up when you’re on the phone actually and then Los Angeles Times followed that with a strange study. Check this out:

when the data from 23 studies was pooled together, there was no conclusive link between brain tumors and cell phone usages. This by itself would be interesting if not necessarily newsworthy, but when the Times jiggered the evidence a bit, comparing data from the “eight strongest studies”, they found out that cell phone users had between a 10 to 30 percent higher chance of getting brain tumors, with the more time spent on the phone being higher risk than those who spent less.

And then, here’s the weirdest point: seven out of eight of those “strongest studies” were all conducted by the SAME GUY IN SWEDEN.

No comparison in Palm Pre, Nokia N97 & iPhone

Admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 03:39:20 +0000

June is really a big month for smartphones, in the past 1 week three decades biggest smartpones have launched. The Palm Pre, Apple iPhone 3GS and the Nokia N97! The Pre promises to revive Palm and put new life into the once very innovative maker, Apple unveil its fastest iTouch device ever with a major OS update and Nokia looks to create that punch in the touch screen segment with its N97.

Each one of them appeals to a different consumer and has its own strong points and ready buyers. N97, Pre and the iPhone all three have a different structure, different OS and a different market. So which one of these are you buying? Waiting for reviews comparing them? Have a look at each of them individually:

About Palm Pre: Palm ‘Pre’ is good attempt at the smartphones market, than the original iPhone or the iPhone 3G. iPhone has its own charm , it attracts people, gets usual attention and is wonderful gizmo. But the iPhone fails in some common things and that make a switch for some Blackberry user. The Pre packs in a physical QWERTY, brings in Multitasking and a great UI with multitouch. It’s the best of both worlds. Touch devices are buzzing and its a wonderful way to use any technology. Pre gets the best of touch and physical with an amazing OS/UI. , Pre is like Superman Returns.

About Nokia N97: Nokia N97 though a N-series, reminds as the communicator. An attempt made by Nokia to hit the touch market and indeed make it a iPhone killer. N97 packs in extreme features with 32GB+16GB storage, 5MP camera with DVD quality video recording and live widgets on the homescreen to present better web experience. At the similar time a sideways sliding QWERTY resembles the E90 design once open (though the mechanism is as seen in SE Xperia). Features alone did make a good gadget. Not a very little phone, bulky, studded with features and a sideways opening keyboard that is much more inconvenient to use (on the go) than a Blackberry, Palm Pre, E71 or even an iPhone. N97is a business phone made for media lovers. Mainly trying to stop the touch devices from robbery Nokia users on their side. Although the 5800 did extremely well on the price point, the N97 is Nokia’s attempt to serve the power users. All in all, the N97 retains the Nokia users … giving little competition to the iPhone.

N97: However this doesn’t fit here, as mention that Nokia makes the same error it made with the N7710. It was a full featured device in its time with FM, Touchscreen, handy design, nice camera etc. Though the processor was so slow that the usability was terrible. With 128MB ram and 434Mhz processor on a king size smartphone like the N97 makes wonder of the Symbian OS will handle the power users efficiently?

About iPhone 3GS: The 2 things redefined by Apple in the smartphones 1) Multitouch / full touch interface 2) The App Store. These were 2 masterstrokes in 2 years. Super hit, no doubt! We love the iPhone – amazing audio/video, mobile internet like never before, again a great swift OS+UI and the Apple touch in every turn. With Jail breaking and App Store apps its haven. Apple manage to present a unique powerphone feel with the iPhone, its own charm, own followers! Regular smartphone users would find it mighty difficult to adapt to Apple’s style. No Bluetooth transfer, no USB mass storage, no physical keypad/qwerty, no camera flash, proprietary chargers, cables etc. Though with an amazing OS v3.0, superb games, hardware bump, video recording and even stronger web integration with wireless goodies, Apple manages to attract its media lovers. iPhone is a beautiful and fast phone.

In a funny way, Business users would feel the iPhone as their girlfriend whereas the Blackberry as their wife! What do you guys feel about that……
