iPhone 4 Issue

iPhone addicts !! WAIT !! Dont get the latest iPhone 4 yet, since it was tested by the consumer reports and the lab results came out saying the reception is weak or even drops, when you cover the antenna spot (the gap on the lower left hand corner of the phone).

Ya, i know...it's disappointing, but Apple should be fixing this soon. For more of this lab test, check it out here.

Been a while !!!

Ya, true, it's been a while since i blogged...had a recent trip to chennai, India and i guess, i should be blogging a lot about India's growth. :o)

Stay tuned !!!

US Internet Connection

I was surprised to see the speed of the Broadband Internet connection in S.Korea faster than US and CHEAPER than USA. Wow !! Broadband Internet speeds in the US are only about 1/4th as fast as those in S.Korea. S.Korea topped all, by whooping speed of 14.58Mbps. Interesing, uh? Well, though, people in US basically 'invented' the Internet, i thought, the connection in US will be the fastest than any other countries, but this map proved me wrong. Hover hover the countries and see their speed. You will be amazed at the countries in red offer, than the United States.

Windows Phone 7

Finally!!! I was holding off of the iPhone, just for this.

Microsoft released the Developer's ToolKit Samples to play around with the simulator. The features, which one of the GUI designers for Windows Phone 7 series was demonstrating, that this phone is capable of all the iPhone functionalities (pan,zoom,pinch...)and best of all, the ability to interact with social networking sites, on the go.

Check here for a short demo of the series, and developer's toolkit.

Word, Excel & PowerPoint - free for Web

I guess, Microsoft finally came to it's senses, by offering Word, Excel & Power Point, free for web, if you are competing with Google, who already is offering free Office Applications, through Google Docs.

Anyone with a Windows Live account can create, modify or share Word, Excel and Power Point documents for free. You do not need Microsoft software installed on your machines. All you need is a Internet access.
