After a brief silence the iPhone India rumors are back. The every lasting wait for the 3GS might well get over for the Indians with the latest rumors claiming that 4 different operators would announce the iPhone 3GS tomorrow (15th march, monday). A short pre-order process before the shipments is also expected.
Bharti, Reliance, Vodafone and Aircel are the rumored operators and there is no word on pricing or shipping date. So would you buy the iPhone 3GS in India or wait for the 4th Generation in June / July?

Now here is something coming to the iPad for which I would even consider making a call to the man himself: Steve Jobs. After coming back from a hectic day and going (almost) handson with the Notion Ink ADAM at HeadStart – ITsAP startup showcase in Hyderabad, the iPad is a refresher before a good night sleep. So what we hear is that iPad now accommodates a screen lock instead of a mute button and this is something much needed on the iPhone / iPod touch already. Just last week we saw an app that brought this option to the iPhone via Cydia. I would quote Abhishek explaining the problem here:
it frustrates a lot when the screen orientation is changed to landscape while on lying on a bed even id we don’t want the screen to rotate. Since apple doesn’t provides any way to control this,
Now thats one problem the iPad seems to be answering officially and I sincerely hope that the iPhone 4G also brings this in, in some form or the other.
Earlier this year Geohot had mentioned about a hardware solution, a kind of dongle for solving the tethered jailbreak issue. Now we have this dongle ready not from geohot but from a geek called Mribreakit!! from http://www.myboyfriendisageek.com
Now for people asking what exactly the issue with tethered jailbreak?? Its a jailbreak which holds good for just one boot and becomes unjailbroken and goes into “recovery mode” (i.e Connect-to-iTunes logo) when you reboot the device!! and you have jailbreak all over again!
Complete, full jailbreak in latest iDevices like the following are not achievable due to certain restrictions [continue reading…]

Remember giving Post-Graduate entrance exams like CAT or GMAT where you needed to learn a lot of difficult words for your vocabulary section, well I do. And what most people use are flashcards – where one side of the card had the ‘word’ and the other it’s ‘meaning’. I used to by-heart the words while travelling on the bus and in my free time.

Rumor has it that Google is working on a new version of Nexus One designed specially for the developing markets like India. The Indianised Nexus One would be a scaled down version of the phone. Although it would not be power-packed, but less features obviously mean lower prices!!!

In the game you’ll find bubbly floating Sneezies, on whom you need to drop sneezing powder, simply by pressing one-click of the thumb, and watch as the Sneezies sneeze themselves out of their bubbles in a marvelous chain reaction. Every level has its own target, try to achieve the target and rescue as many Sneezies in one go. [continue reading…]
An interesting Apple patent that makes me feel – ‘wow, this is something I so so need’. Imagine having a visitor at your door when you are just 5 mins away from home? or even better, being outside your own house without the keys and waiting for your spouse to return from the market for you to get inside? Well if Apple has its way, you would (atleast some point in the future) use your mobile phone to unlock doors. And some easy extension of this technology can enable you to offer access to guests (maybe limited or temporary).
Currently being referred as the iKey, this technology would give you freedom from carrying a bunch of keys and instead allow your mobile phone to unlock all doors including your car. iKey users would simply have to enter a

That time of the week when analyst predictions comes in to please us 
The latest word from the analyst stable is that Apple will beat RIM in the samartphone marketshare sometime in 2011. iPhone has been a superhit ever since it was introduced in 2007 and it still remains a white horse for Apple. On the other hand Blackberry has ruled the enterprise market and its a die hard termite sticking to the business users addicted to a physical qwerty.
Trefis now predicts that Apple will settle with 11% market share in 2011 and the Blackberry will manage only

If there is one person who has learnt from past, its Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer. Apparently Steve Ballmer laughed off the iPhone in 2007 comparing it with the Motorola Q (in terms of price). However we all know what happened after that and how the iPhone is poised today to be the no 1 smartphone in the market.
“Apple’s done a very nice job that allows people to monetize and commercialize their intellectual property,” [Apple Insider]
However business motive behind Ballmer’s good words cannot be ruled out. Its no secret that

Spotted last month in South Korea the sausage shaped iPhone stylus is now on sale in US. Given the capacitive touch screen in the iPhones / iPod touch nothing except a finger touch works on the surface. Rendering normal styluses and alternatives useless. Here arises the winter issue where you can’t use the iPhone while having your gloves on (unless you have the Dot Glove), thus making a good market for these specialized styluses that work on capacitive touchscreens.
The Sausage stylus can be ordered for $0.99 + shipping from Case Crown (remember: its not for consumption).
