Top 10 Budget Android Smart Phones

noreply@blogger.com (Namanyay Goel) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:22:10 PST

“Budget android smart phones” has become the most searched topic on search engines these days. Even I’ve looked up the search engines with this search query and most of the results obtained were android smart phones by Micromax, Spice, Alcatel and other brands including Chinese ones. I have personally had a chat with users of android smart phones by these companies and their experiences don’t seem to be good. They say that these mobile phones function very slow, they hang sometimes and the worst part, they don’t have official upgrades. They aren’t much trusted by users. I am not much of a hater when it comes to these brands :D. I am also writing a similar article here, but I’d beg to differ. I am including trusted brands having latest features and official software upgrades available. Moreover, the feedbacks from users and experts have been good. All these android smart phones are available with Android v2.3 (Gingerbread), but you might find some old versions with android v2.2...

Why Facebook plans to launch Open Graph Actions and what will be its advantages?

noreply@blogger.com (Namanyay Goel) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 03:04:13 PST

The beginning of the 1980s proved to be a tipping point in the history of technology. It was around this time that the first mobile phones were beginning to see some use. In 1979, Japan was the first nation in the world to have a nation-wide cellular network. Not to be left behind the times, though, the rest of the world quickly followed suit. By the middle of the 1980s, nearly every nation across the globe had established a cellular network. These phones and networks are often referred to as 1G, or first generation, mobile phone technology. This technology quickly became far more advanced. In the 1990s, for instance, the 2G digital cellular networks were introduced. At the beginning of the new millennium, 3G technology quickly took its...
