iPhone OS4 review

Installed the new OS4, the upgrade was not smooth as usual, it was a painful upgrade but worth the upgrade…

Why it was painful because the upgrade required iTunes 9.2, and autoupdate from iTunes was giving problems, I tried couple of times, I was only wasting internet download space…

So its better to go to iTunes website and download iTunes and install and then upgrade.

So some of the features I liked is

  • camera has zoom
  • background image while displaying apps
  • multitasking (though not actual)
  • email is like conversations now
  • folders to manage apps
  • spell checking

Enjoy its worth the upgrade

Dual Sim Card mobile Phones

Dual subscriber identity module (SIM) card mobile phones (or two-in-one cellphones) have made it to the market of late.

Tata Teleservices [Get Quote] along with Samsung recently launched a dual phone called Samsung Duo that supports a CDMA and a GSM SIM connection. Spice, too, has introduced its own rendition with the Spice D88 model that supports both GSM & CDMA connections and Dual D80, which supports two GSM connections.

Dual SIM phones can be used if you want both a personal and business number (i.e. two connections) on a single handset, thus saving money by combining two different payment plans or network carriers, or maybe using regularly local pre-paid cards on your business trips.

Major mobile phones manufacturers, however, look disinterested in this particular phone category.

worldspace receiver

When I was in india I heard about the worldspace receiver mostly because of A.R Rehman ads for the worldspace, seems he is the brand ambassador for it and so thought to buy one receiver and use it in Riyadh. It was very cheap indeed , with only BPL type receivers available and so got a 6 months subscription, tested in India and it was working great.

It is having 40 channels totol with 1 tamil channel, 1 hindi and 1 old hindi songs, and bangla, malayalam, telugu and international channels , 1 hiphop, 1 country, 1 jazz and so on.. it is also having BBC, NDTV news channels and so I tried here in Riyadh with much excitement when I returned back from vacation 1 week before. In my place in India the signal reception was very good but here I had to place the antenna at the top of the building in open space and the signal reception is not excellent till now. May be I have to fine tune a bit but as for now I am receving the signal and the am listening to non-stop songs especially the hindi one (jhanjaar beats). The best thing about this worldspace is nonstop music with no ads.

Unfortunately you will not find the receiver in Riyadh here, may be you can shop online or get one from India when coming back. It is cheap and worth the money...

nokia n70 review

Rencently gifted a nokia n70 to my spouse on our wedding anniversary and the n70 experience was a breeze. The mobile is elegant, fits to the hand and the best smart phone available in the market. It is an enhancement to the 6680 version but much more improved in the screen resolution and and 2 mb pixels is a marvellous experience. The only thing not available is wireless lan which is available in N80 but the price difference is high between these two models. So if you dont bother about wi-lan and the should be extremely happy with 2mb pixels then N70 is for you.All the features are very very elegant and you should now own a n-series mobile and if your budget is tight then go for N70 which is the best model for its price in the market. Here in Riyadh it costs me Riyals 1470.
