| Hi readers, this is my first blog post on Google Android, a new open source smartphone operating system designed by Google. Till now operating systems for mobiles have been dominated by Symbian OS, Windows Mobile and OS X iPhone. To compete with these mobile OS platforms, Google released their much anticipated Android operating system. When Apple’s iPhone 3G was released it caused a storm in the smartphone segment leading other manufacturers to design smartphones as well, like the Sony experia x1, Samsung Omnia, HTC Touch diamond etc ... (Jai published a comparison of the HTC Touch and the iPhone here). In this tough competitive market it’s not an easy task for smartp ... |  | | Comments (0) | More... |
| | Wrath of the Expansion | | John Gatt's Babblings

WoW! Need I say more? As most of you may know, World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King was launched late last week, the 13th in the US and the 14th here in Australia (about 10 hours after the US). I must say that I was quite surprised at the turn out at my local games shop. I had no doubt that there would be a lot of people wanting to play the game on a worldwide basis but I was seriously surprised to see more than 300 people at my little local store. Now I’m not anywhere near a city centre, in fact I’m more than an hour away. God only knows what it would have been like in the city! I’ve heard stories of friends in the US who drove around to several stores looking for the opportunity to get the game without having to wait two hours in line. And this is at midnight! | | | Comments (0) | More... |

Have you heard about the dTunes? That’s not a typo, I’m talking about dTunes not iTunes. Even I got confused. I was amazed when I saw the application on one my friend’s iPhones. It is similar to iTunes but the only difference is in the name. So I immediately grabbed the phone and explored the application. The application seems interesting but the only catch is you must have an unlocked iPhone in order to download dTunes. Did you know, Apple has not approved this application because it duplicates a current iPhone feature? So, use it at your own risk! (An unclocked iPhone is an iPhone that has been cracked in order to support cell phone carriers other than the one that the phone ... | | | Comments (0) | More... |
