Ma Shiny New N900

After waiting for the N8 and learning Qt.... I had to get a new touch to experiment Qt... I was hardpressed b/w N8 and N900 and finally decided on the N900. I dint get the N8 bcos N900 is a computer and N8 is not... U'll understand what I mean by this after the following pics. N8 may be better in terms of touch, battery life but.... nothing can beat the N900 not even Android or iPhone. By the way, if you are having a N900 and wondering whats this, its Easy Debian. Also, there's more like web with Flash..etc...

Samsung Galaxy Tab Launched in India

India is one of the first three countries in the world to get the Samsung Galaxy tab - a much awaited, android running tablet. But however, the sales will begin in the month of November for a whopping Rs 38000/-... It may be a balanced price point for some but naturally one may opt a Laptop instead--- wont you???

The Commuter: A short HD movie shot on the N8

A fantastic example as to where future technology is heading. This short movie named "The Commuter" was shot entirely on a Nokia N8. It seems really surprising to me to even imagine that the optics on a mobile phone can shoot so good a video. The legacy of the w900i, N95..etc when we first saw movies shot on a mobile is truly being carried on.. Video after the bump...

Microsoft India sets a Limca Record

Good News India and congratulations Microsoft employees @ Hyd. This neat logo took 1056 hours and 7000 wooden dominoes. Wow, when did a company last invest time and money on such deeds. Windows 7 did see success and its a whopping successful anniversary. But I wonder all the time about the poor vista users.... Vista should have been the win 7 in the first place... but you see as they say "Failure is a stepping stone to success".

Nokia N8: My First Impressions of The Device

Blackberry Boys: Indian Ad

A cool ad of the BB service by vodafone India. Makes sense cos BB is not anymore enterprise centric right? Video after the break...

WebOS 2.0: New Screenshots surface

New round of screenshots of the long awaited WebOS 2.0 screenshots emerge. What does this mean to us in India? As you all know Palm is now Hp and Hp has an awesome presence in India which the Palm never had. Palm had a major comeback(before the hp acquisition) with its very important releases, namely the WebOS and Plam Pre which we could never see in the Indian market(Legally). As I mentioned this might have been due to the lack of the market presence or the demand for Palm based devices in India.

Lewis Hamilton in Chennai

An old news it may be, but I decided to publish it anyway. I should have attended this, but owing to some health issues I was at the hospital instead... :-)

Anyway, it was good to know this and to see the merc being rocked by him. He was here in India for a promotional event which is the Indian Grand Prix scheduled for next year at New Delhi(Noida). There were some contests by Vodafone and others of which the winners got a chance to accompany Hamilton's drive on the Madras Motor Race Track. Hit the link for more info

Nokia Qt

Qt all the way.. Qt pronounced as "cute" because its cute. Yes you heard that right and I am learning it now after a course at Blore. I may also continue working on what I used to work on i.e. - mainframe- Cobol-DB2. But for the next 2 months or so my target is "mission Qt".

Dot. The world's smallest stop-motion animation character shot on a Nokia N8

Nokia's marketing simply at its best to regain its lost glory in the smartphone biz... If you have been following the phone biz for some years, you may remember the N95, N82 microscopes...etc that created some buzz. Also some movies that were shot with the phones... etc and etc.. But this is totally awesome and incredible... Hit the read more link for the videos.
