Bing is Microsoft’s new search engine. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that Bing will help people find information more quickly and use that information to accomplish the desired tasks. So will Bing beat Google in the war of search engines? Well, chances are slim. Bing isn’t quite a Google killer, but it does have some interesting features.

The best thing about Bing is that it displays more information on the search page in a more organized way than Google does. So how does Bing show more information? Well, to display more relevant information Bing organizes search results into categories.

Categories appear in the Explorer pane which runs down the left hand side bar of the search results page. Depending on the search word you enter you can see different categories of results on the explorer pane. For example, if your search word is ‘Tokyo’ search categories such as map, tourism, attractions, restaurants, weather, images and so on will appear in the explorer pane.

If the search term is ‘George W Bush’, the categories under the explorer pane will be Images, Biography, Family, Library, Interview and Timeline. Categories in the explorer pane are called quick tabs. These quick tabs are a way of telling the user that for a search term like George W Bush, Bing has results that relate to his biography, his images, his family and so on.

Categories will not appear for every word you search. Right now, only a few words will produce categorized search results. Sub categories called ‘Related Searches’ and ‘Search History’ appear below the Quick tabs.

Categorized Search Results

Another interesting feature of Bing is the categorized search results. The categorized search results are based on the categories in the Explorer pane. On a categorized search results page, Bing will show the categories from the Explorer Pane as the headings on the center page. Below each heading there will be search results relevant to that heading. So for example in the categorized search results page for a term like George W Bush, the user will get to see images of Bush across the top of the page followed by results under the headings Bush’s biography, Bush’s family, Bush’s library etc. These headers are clickable and link to additional sites related to the subject.

Search History

The search history area is also located on the left side of the search page. It appears below the ‘Categories’ and ‘Related Searches’. If you continue to use the same browser, the search history feature will be able to keep track of your queries for up to 48 hours. You can clear your history manually if you need to. Bing’s search history system is pretty basic compared to the search history feature offered by Google. But Microsoft said that they will continue to improve this feature.

Best Match

Some queries on Bing will generate only a single ‘Best Match’ result. The Best Match feature is based on the assumption that for certain search terms the user needs only a single link. The Best Match result appears when Bing is confident that the single link it shows is that of the very best site related to the query. Under the Best Match Bing will show links to important pages on the site and customer service numbers. In most cases a Best Match result will be followed by other search results too.

Quick Previews

The quick preview feature is designed to make search easier by showing more information. To activate this feature you only need to hover next to the right of a result on the search page and you will see a short excerpt from the site. This is a very useful feature because in many cases a user cannot decide whether a particular site is useful or not just by looking at the short description that appears below the clickable link. Since the quick preview feature shows more information from the inside pages of a site, a user will be able to decide whether this is the site they are looking for.

Instant Answers

This feature allows you to find instant answers to some of your queries. For instance, you can enter a flight number to get airline tracking information. You can also enter the names of movies followed by a Zip code and you will get the results for local listings of that movie. Google and Yahoo also offer such results.

Infinite scroll of images

This is an interesting feature. If you are searching for images on Bing you can just keep scrolling through the results until you find the one you were looking for. There is not need to hit the Next button.

Preview Video Feature

The preview video feature can auto-play videos in the search results. You only need to hover over them.

Another useful feature is the shopping search. It offers a variety of reviews. The opinion ranking feature is helpful too because it categorizes reviews into positive and negative.

My Review of Aircel Pocket Internet Card & Aircel:

• I find the Aircel Network to be a bit poor as compared to established mobile networks in Mumbai.
• Aircel gives issues while calling back a number or replying to a sms, it doesn’t allow you to use a mobile number with +91 extension.
• Aircel has amazing voice clarity.
• Aircel Pocket Internet card offers good surfing speeds compared to other mobile operators.
• Unlimited Internet for a reasonable price is the best thing about Aircel Pocket Internet.
• It can be used on your laptop/pc too.
• I use my Aircel Pocket Internet on my iPhone, its gives me great surfing speeds.
• I had taken a 1-Day trial pack from a promotion store of Aircel and it surely rocked for me.
• Best thing about Aircel Pocket Internet is refill system wherein services are available for 3 days or 30 days and after the validity is over, the service is automatically deactivated. - No more regular billing if you forget to deactivate a service.

For those who haven’t tried Aircel Pocket Internet, I would say its a must incase you travel a lot and need something better then current GPRS services in the market.

Please share your reviews and experience with Aircel and Aircel Pocket Internet Cards. :)

Samsung has announced their first ever solar-powered mobile phone, the “Solar Guru” - Guru E1107.

As the name suggest, the handset enables its users to charge the battery anywhere using sunlight i.e., solar energy.

“The Solar Guru has been developed keeping in mind the needs of Indian consumers, especially customers residing in areas where the electric supply is unstable, so that the consumers can rely on solar charging to remain connected.” states and J. S. Shin, President & CEO, Samsung South West Asia Headquarters.

Some of the features of the Solar Guru are:

• FM radio.
• 5-10 minutes of talk time with one hour of solar charging.
• Supports dual GSM bands (900/1800MHz).
• MP3 ring tones, embedded games and a powerful torch light.

With the launch of iPhone 3Gs at the Apple’s WWDC Conference 2009, the old iPhone obviously gets a facelift and revised price.

The newly discounted iPhone 3G will now sell at $99 and $149 for the 8GB & 16GB model respectively.

Apple hasn’t given any official pricing for the iPhone 3G 16GB model nor is it on their website moreover Apple keeping two 16GB products (iPhone 16GB 3G & iPhone 16GB 3Gs) in their iPhone line seems unlikely. Therefore one must hurry because the pricing for the 16GB iPhone 3G was spotted on AT&T’s website, the model could just last until existing stock is cleared.

But Apple has officially announced that the 8GB iPhone 3G will sell alongside the iPhone 3GS with a price drop ie., for $99 a iPhone 3G can now be purchased.

Whats new in the iPhone 3G?

• Cut, copy, and paste with a tap.
• Landscape Keyboard; facility to rotate iPhone to landscape to use a larger keyboard in Mail, Messages, Notes, and Safari.
• Peer-to-peer games.
• Spotlight Search.

and much much more…!

If you already have an iPhone or iPhone 3G you can get all the above mentioned features for free with the iPhone 3.0 Software Update.

The 3.0 Software Update will be available from June 17 via the Apple Software Update website.

As technology progress and we are offered more variety, choice and design, it has become clear that people all around the world are face the question; to get the much discussed iPhone or the President’s favorite- the Blackberry?

If you try using the iPhone and the BlackBerry side-by-side to determine which of them prove to be better in the long run, one can conclude was that the iPhone lacked in specific vital features that could never replace the BlackBerry as the current favorite of savvy users worldwide.

Users who send an email to a user account on a BlackBerry will find that the message is downloaded instantaneous and a LED will alert the user that he/she has received a new message. On the other hand, the iPhone only receives messages every 15 minutes and a user has to constantly check if their message has arrived. The downfall of this action is that it uses battery power since every time a user wants to check they have email, they need to perform that one extra step.

Besides some of the disadvantages of the Apple iPhone, One can consider the following reasons for preferring the BlackBerry to the iPhone:

• BlackBerry keyboard easier to use than the iPhone keyboard.
• Apple is famous for designing superior user interfaces, but it lacks the basic keyboard shortcuts that enables easy navigation between applications on the BlackBerry.
• If you love the Safari Browser then the iPhone would do, but it loads much slower with simple text as opposed to the Blackberry.
• The quality of the BlackBerry phone is better than the iPhone in general.
• The IM contacts application provides an efficient way to keep in contact via multiple routes, whether you want to contact someone via Google Talk or Windows Live Messenger. Whatever route you choose, it sports a familiar interface that makes using it a breeze.
• In the longevity between batteries, the BlackBerry win hands down. The iPhone uses more battery power to access more functions as opposed to the BlackBerry that preserves more battery power.

As for reliability, it has been proven in a study by a mobile phone warranty firm, that the BlackBerry is twice more likely to malfunction in the first year of use as opposed to the iPhone. However, you are more likely to experience problems with Apple iPhone’s touch screen and battery.

Apple iPhone or BlackBerry you choose! For me its Both of them. They are handsets one cannot do without! I prefer having both of them. ;)

BlackBerry and iPhone look equally stunning. iPhone vs BlackBerry I cannot decide!

The iPhone surely looks promising. With the newly software updated from Apple, the iPhone is getting better.

8 months later after using the BlackBerry and the iPhone I still prefer to carry both of them!
