Now share your location with friends on Facebook

2010-08-26T16:54:00.000+05:30

Facebook has introduced a new location-based functionality called 'Facebook Places'. Now Facebook users will be able to add their current location to their status updates via Facebook Places.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook, highlighted the three main uses of Places, "Help you share where you are, help you find where your friends are, and discover new places around you."

You can also add places and can check-in at places. However, Facebook does not show you nearby places, but places it thinks are relevant to you.

Also photo tagging has been incorporated with Places. You can "tag" friends that are with you at a specific location. Thus, everybody doesn't have to check-in on their own. Implementation of tagging seems to be one of the best features of the platform.

The privacy controls for Places comprise of removing check-in and the "Here Now" button is activated only after you check in. You are notified when you are tagged and you can only tag your friends. You can also remove tags or turn off being tagged in Facebook Places. You also have the option to report a place on the iPhone if it's inaccurate or don't want it on the system.

Another interesting feature of Places is "Is this your business?" It allows owners to claim a business page. So, something is there for the business owners as well.

Facebook has kept developers in mind as well while creating Places. There's a Read API for reading check-ins and learning more about check-in pages. There's a Search and Write API for making check-ins and searching through them.

With Facebook foraying into location-based social networking, there is hope for it to grow big; with other SNS following suit.

India's first e-reader Wink unveiled

2010-08-21T12:49:00.000+05:30

Mumbai: Bangalore-based digital publisher EC Media International has launched its multi-function e-book reader Wink that not only supports 15 languages but will also offer over 200,000 book titles on debut.Wink will offer consumers a one-stop e-store to access e-reading content of choice via www.thewinkstore.com that would enable access not just to e-books, but also journals, newspapers, magazines and selected articles, EC Media said.Many of the titles have been acquired from international aggregators, giving Indians access to a whole lot of books not available in the country. "With the launch of Wink, we aim to revolutionise the way people read," said Ravi DeeCee, founder and chief executive of DC Group, which has promoted EC Media and the Kerala-based publishing house DC Books.

"Wink will allow readers to access their favourite content anytime, anywhere, that, too, in the language of their choice," he said.

Another offering will be Wink Wire for news, the first e-reader newspaper in India. EC Media has entered into a content alliance with IANS, India's largest independent news service, for Wink Wire.

EC Media's e-reader itself is designed primarily for reading digital books and periodicals but users can also listen to music, check e-mails or even play games, executives said.This e-reader uses e-ink technology to display content to readers, and the main advantages of these features are portability, strain-free reading even in bright sunlight and substantial battery life.

"With the launch of Wink, we want to enable the growth of content provisioning through electronic medium by leveraging existing eco-system of global tie-ups with publishers and aggregators," said Pradeep Palazhi, chief operating officer of EC Media. "We hope to succeed in attaining this vision."

The group also aims to help publishers and authors leverage the new platform, simplifying the process of publishing -- from the draft of a book to its final printing, besides also helping them to reach out to a larger audience.

Wink has enrolled top publishers like Penguin, Roli, Oxford University, Harper Collins and Permanent Black for content so far. It will provide access to over 100,000 tiles to begin with, along with some newspapers and magazines.

The group has also announced a tie-up with Croma, the electronics megastore promoted by the Tata Group, as its retail partner. It has also roped in Redington as its distribution partner. "From a consumer perspective, it's going to be a resourceful investment. It will certainly enhance their reading experience with a variety of offerings," said Ajit Joshi, chief executive of Croma Electronics Megastore.

Explaining how the e-reader works, officials said a user can access the online store from the web or through the catalogue present on the gadget, intuitively designed for easy preview of content, downloads and a secure payment gateway.The Wink store will have a strong base of regional language content on top of a wide-variety of international titles and category of e-books. Members will be able to avail of special deals and discounts on the store, they added.

The desktop in your palm: Nokia N900

2010-08-21T12:41:00.001+05:30

With the Nokia N900, the Finnish company dumps Symbian for this chunky, hugely powerful ‘pocket computer' that runs the Maemo OS. Nokia has broken the mould with the N900 replacing the company's usual Symbian OS with Maemo, which is a more advanced system.The hardware is similarly powerful, with a pull-out QWERTY, a 600MHz ARM A8 processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and a touch screen that's lushly high resolution, even if it is sadly only resistive rather than capacitive.

As a result, it's uncommonly wide and chunky, but it is excellent for viewing video and browsing the web, and Maemo is easy to use, despite a sometimes unresponsive touch screen – and this is one of the dwindling band of phones that still comes with a stylus. Nokia has added a little kickstand for hands-free video viewing.

Despite the open-source nature of the OS, the Maemo application portal is somewhat short of options, and while Facebook is included, this phone isn't geared for social networking. However, multiple IM clients and VoIP for cheaper calls are on offer.

The web browser is the main attraction on the N900. It seamlessly shifts between Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, offers full Flash compatibility and packs the new Firefox Mobile browser.

The only problem is that the power of it makes you miss the multi-touch slickness of the iPhone or Desire all the more.The music player on the N900 is also great fun. There are widgets for easy access on the home screen and it'll sync tracks from your Windows 7 home PC too. Storage is impressive, with 32GB on board and the option to add a further 16GB through microSD, and internet radio is supported out of the box. Slick wireless home networking is also built in. Despite a low quoted talk time, in reality the N900 has the best performing battery on test, making this phone an attractive option to anyone not put off by its ugliness and lack of slickness in other areas.

LOVE : The power of the N900 is in its processor, and because Maemo is open source, the web is awash with easy ways to modify and upgrade it

HATE : Most people will find it too big, in our view. The resistive touch screen can be frustratingly inaccurate at times

WE SAY : The N900 is a powerful, versatile device, but over-sized, ugly and sorely lacking the multi-touch slickness of the Desire or iPhone.

Cameron Diaz most dangerous celebrity to search on the web

2010-08-21T11:23:00.002+05:30

Cameron Diaz has replaced Jessica Biel as the most dangerous celebrity to search for on the Web, according to security company McAfee. McAfee researched popular culture’s most famous people to reveal the riskiest celebrity athletes, musicians, politicians, comedians and Hollywood stars on the Web.

The McAfee Most Dangerous Celebrities study found movie stars and models top the “most dangerous” list this year while politicians like Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are among the safest.

“This year, the search results for celebrities are safer than they’ve been in previous years, but there are still dangers when searching online,” said Dave Marcus, security researcher for McAfee Labs. “Consumers are getting smarter about searching online, yet cybercriminals are getting sneakier in their techniques. Now they’re hiding malicious content in ‘tiny’ places like shortened URLs that can spread virally in social networking sites and Twitter, instead of on websites and downloads.”

Cameron Diaz searches yield ten percent chance of landing on a malicious site

McAfee research found that searching for the latest Cameron Diaz pictures and downloads yields a ten percent chance of landing on a website that’s tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.

Fans searching for “Cameron Diaz” or “Cameron Diaz and downloads,” “Cameron Diaz and screen savers,” “Cameron Diaz and wallpaper,” “Cameron Diaz and photos” and “Cameron Diaz and videos” are at risk of running into online threats designed to steal personal information. Clicking on these risky sites and downloading files like photos, videos or screensavers exposes surfers or consumers to the risk of downloading the viruses and malware.

Google amplifies voice commands for Android phones

2010-08-21T11:01:00.000+05:30

The latest version of Android 2.2, released on Thursday, includes 10 new voice commands that can be used to operate phones without using a keypad.

Although Google says about 2,00,000 Android-powered phones are being sold each day, not all of them are equipped with the 2.2 operating system, also known as Froyo. Google’s Nexus One phone already runs on Froyo, but users will need to download free updates through its Android Market. Motorola Inc.’s Droid 2, which went on sale this week, already has the necessary updates. The features are expected to be added to HTC Corp.’s Evo and Incredible phones when they get Froyo in the coming months.

Google’s new “Voice Actions” tool enables people to dictate their text messages and e-mails. The voice recognition technology automatically translates the spoken words into text.

Phone calls can be made simply by speaking the name of a person or business. The feature can also find and play songs with spoken commands.

Although spoken words were turned into written words almost flawlessly in a Thursday demonstration for reporters, many applications relying on voice recognition technology misinterpret what’s being said in less quiet settings. Google says its tests showed “Voice Actions” was highly accurate.

Android already has been processing spoken requests for Internet searches and directions. The feature has caught on quickly — Google says about 25 percent of its search traffic on Android phones is triggered by the spoken word.

The additional bells and whistles have helped Android phones gain usage in recent months, though there are far more iPhones from Apple Inc. and BlackBerrys from Research in Motion Ltd. on the market.

Besides adding more voice controls to Android, Google is also making it easier to transfer information from a computer screen to a phone. Google is making that happen by offering a free tool that users can add to Google’s Chrome Web browser for personal computers. This tool makes it possible to send the link to a story or mapping directions from a personal computer to a designated phone within seconds.

Mobile Number Portability by October 2010

2010-08-19T22:47:00.003+05:30

Mobile Number Portability is one thing we Indian Mobile Users are waiting and waiting since months. We have heard lot of news about it. However, Private operators specially the bigger ones are not in much favour of it because of there own interests. However, the interest of Indians stands above any other private interests.

Keeping this in Mind, TRAI (Telecom Regulatory of India) have announced that Mobile Number portability will be implemented latest by 31 October, 2010. In an announcement and directions to all mobile service providers, TRAI has asked all service providers to start the Mobile number portability by 31st October 2010 nationwide and without any further delay.
"There will be No Further Delay in Mobile Number Portability Implementation in India" said TRAI Chairman J S Sarma in Delhi today.

The Department of Telecom (DoT) Wednesday said the operators must ensure that all inter-operator tests for porting the numbers from one service provider to another are completed before Sept 1, 2010.

The Dot made it clear to all telecom operators that in case they fail to implement MNP as per the scheduled deadline, they will be barred from launching any new commercial services from Sept 1.

"It has been decided that permission to launch commercial service in any area with effect from September 1, 2010 shall be given to only those licensee(s) who are MNP compliant," said a DoT note.

Mobile service providers - Bharti Airtel, Reliance, Vodafone Essar, Tata Tele, Idea, STel and Aircel - are getting ready to launch high-speed 3G services from next month.

State-owned telcos Bharat Sanchar Nagar Nigam and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited have said they are ready with the infrastructure to implement the MNP service.

The earlier June 30 deadline for the implementation of MNP was deferred as the operators were not ready with the infrastructure to provide the service.

The MNP was to be implemented by December 31, 2009 in all the metro cities as well as in the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

The deadline was then changed to March 31, 2010 and thereafter to June 30, 2010.
Asked about the rolling out of 3G services, Sarma said: "I see no reason to believe that there would be any delay."

5 Rare Stonemade Gadgets

2010-08-14T19:18:00.001+05:30

Wood is actually so popular amongst amateur designers and some manufacturers. Some of the most interesting examples would be Wooden Mobile Phone from Russia, wooden earbudsand wooden carpets. But, what about usage of stone for gadgets! Unfortunately, it is not a popular topic yet due to limited application features such as heaviness. Still, there are rare examples of stone gadgets and some of these badly fail achieving the desired style effect.

Stone Mouse : The parts of stone are cut, polished and glued together by Russian designer Neko.

(Possibly Fake) Stone USB Hub : On the first sight, this 4-ports USB hub looks like a regular stone from the

beach or like a brain if you look more. But Craziest Gadgets had another idea reminding us about plastic potatoes

Klipsch AWR-650SM Stone Speakers : If your newly bought 5 star hotel needs to impress the guests, think buying a pink outdoor speakers. Available in a granite, sandstone or red rock finish. Product Page

Stone Laptop Table : Cut a rectangular granite and sell it as a laptop table for $120. At least, a designer at
Etsy homemade products shop thinks that easy way

Stone iPod Dock : For those who want their iPods in a stone dock. Very old gadget news but it is the only thing related to iPod as a stone until today.

I want to finish my article with a Keyboard Monument made from stone. Proudly Russian as well

Solar-Powered Nintendo Emulator and MP4 Player

In the range of 4.5V to 9V devices can be connected up. The screen is 3.5 inch color TFT which is a fairly decent size that

can display 1.6 million colors. There is a voice recorder, and a built-in LED flashlight. Attractive designed kit.

Cool Beast : The Nokia N810 Linux Internet Tablet

2010-08-14T16:12:00.002+05:30

Nokia made a press release about new N Series pocket-sized N810 Internet Tablet.

128MB DDR RAM, 256MB Flash memory, 2GB inner disk, and support upto 10 GB of miniSD, microSD.
It is powered by a Linux based operating system, maemo Linux OS2008.

It has applications to connect with Google Mail, Facebook, or YouTube videos. It supports Skype instant messaging or VoIP, and Gizmo video chat with an integrated VGA camera.

To use the device, you connect over a Wi-Fi network, or a Bluetooth mobile phone.

The N810 supports GPS navigation, this is the main advantage.

Surely Nokia has an innovation for future small PC companions.

Wooden Mobile Phone : Made in Russia

2010-08-14T15:17:00.001+05:30

While we are heavy bombardment of new mobile phones with added features every day, a bored man from Russia has taken advantage of their huge and fertile Siberian forests. He handcarves each phone case from apple tree wood. The resulting phone is a fully functional wooden copy of the original one.

Even every part like SIM card, antenna, battery has its own wooden place in the structure. An original idea and neat application from the Mother Russia.

Now Pay per site : Tata Docomo’s new concept

2010-08-13T19:19:00.000+05:30

Tata Docomo, which is well known for its unique marketing strategies has now come up with another unique plan for the mobile internet users where you need to pay only for the websites you browse. Named “Pay per site” plan is suitable for mobilers who use only 2-3 specific websites regularly but have to pay the rental for complete internet package.

The websites are categorized in two different genres - “Social Networking Site” and “Emailing and Instant Messaging”. Users can subscribe to individual sites under these genres for Rs. 10/- bundled with 200 MB free data
usage valid for 30 days, after which customers will be charged at 1p/kb. There are also 2 Combo options – SNS (Social Networking Site) Combo Pack and Emailing Combo Pack and each Combo Pack is priced at Rs. 25/- bundled with 500 MB free data usage post which the customers will be charged 1p/kb.

“Pay Per Site is a potent market disruptor that aims to enable an innovative service in the data market; offering customers the power to decide on what they surf the most and purchase ‘packs’ suited and tailored to specific needs. Tapping into the huge potential that is today offered by social networking and e-mailing and instant messaging, Pay Per Site aims to offer customers the choice to ‘DO’ what they like and pay for it alone,” Mr Rishi Mohan Malhotra, Head of VAS, Tata DOCOMO, said.

“Love what you do and doing what you love is the core essence of the product proposition — Pay Per Site, because if the customers love browsing only 1 or 2 sites then why should they pay a fat monthly fee. Our product innovation is based on the same concept as metered services like pay per click, pay per ad word, and now Pay per Site gives complete flexibility to customers to cherry pick their most favored sites at a very economical pricing structure, added Mr. Malhotra.

To activate the services, customers can Dial *141# OR simply send an SMS with the keyword “MY SITE’ to 141 and following further instructions OR visit Tata DOCOMO Dive in zone on mobile. Customers can also activate Pay per Site service through Tata DOCOMO website by clicking on the Pay Per Site link.

Verdict:

Last year Tata Docomo Came up with the”pay per second” plan which was then followed by every other service providers and made a drastic change in existing calling plans. Every new concept injected in to Indian mobile market either flops or if hits, is blindly followed by other providers which ultimately benefits end mobile users. If “Pay per site” plan gets a good response, Indian mobile users should get ready for more such cool plans from other providers.
