Blackberry Revolution

Blackberry. Research In Motion. BB Messenger. Professionalism. Blackberry has truly revolutionise the way people connect with each ither. Going back in time backberry was sysnonymous to corporate emails and professioanlism. But the whole new BB avatar is targeted the youthe segment, though the youth only use it for BB messenger or Facebook. The value or the utility has changed focus drastically. They have captured the market with variety of BB models, ranging from 10k to 28k. The new advertisement "Blackberry Boys" gives BB a new appeal and a new look. Forget those days when your dad used to connect with their clients or your boss used to access BB for emails. The new thing is BB messenger, Twitter and Facebook. The idea behind BB is that it is still the most user friendly phones for all corporates and now the youth. The integration of email and messengers(Yahoo,Gtalk and MSN) is just a click away. The new strategy of targeting youth and launching BB with different colors and making it a style statement is the new thing indeed. Think about it low cost phone producers Micromax, Lava, Intex or Videocon launched wannabe BB phones for the segment who is not ready to spend 10k yet they demand for BB look and features. The market for smartphones is interestingly. People who are not touch friendly would not go Android or Iphones. Nokia is Dead anyways and Symbian is the thing of past. So the only choice left is BB or the low cost phones. Nokia E series Tag themselves as corporate phone, but how user friendly it is and the Nokia owners agree with me on this it is difficult to access email and setup multiple accounts in the phone. Talking about BB messenger,it is the most productive thing for every BB user. Every BB user can connect with each other free of cost (data plan is mandatory which costs *299) and can share anything across geographical regions. It is the most eye catchy thing for every BB user. Connectivity providers such as Airtel and Vodafone have launched special plans only for BB users which does not limit only to postpaid users but prepaid users as well.

The Blackberry revolution is here to stay.

Twitter

Well am updating my blog after a long time due to laziness i guess, but the topic which was going on my mind was Twitter. Yes, this micro-blogging website has changed things for me and million of users.Twitter also known as the sms of the internet, is a micro blogging web site providing users to tweet or express themselves in 140 words.You can follow corporate poeple like Bill gates or Anand Mahindra or celebrities such as Shah Rukh Khan or Ashton Kutcher. Twitter helps users to read tweets of their followers, read articles, read news or simply the day to day gossip. you can retweet someone's tweet if you like it to your followers or send direct messages. It has revolutionize the way people read news, views of editorials or participate in debate. All you have to do is express yourself in 140 words. The concept of going paperless is very important as i believe technology is one platform through which we can do anything without paper, for example; i read Economic Times through twitter. I am following ET and they tweet regularly about news and it helps me in keep my self updated just by logging to my twitter id. Twitter was founded by Biz Stone and Evan Williams. In their recent chirp conference they unveiled their revenue plan for twitter.Though twitter is a way different from Facebook in terms of games,photographs and advertisements. But gives an individual a safe and secure environment to tweet and express themselves telling their followers what re they doing and what is going on in their life. I have been on twitter since september 09 and i find it too useful for myself. Though the word Social Networking is Synonymous to Facebook, Twitter is not far behind.

Guess!!!Who just launched an electronic slate?

I was not able too concentrate on anything my mind was only focusing and thinking about the new apple product.Even while i was eating reading newspaper the only thing that was running on my mind was the electronic slate that apple was about to launch on the 27Th of January 2010.I was really disappointed with the name IPad its like they are launching an electronic nappy pad.First thing after the launch i decided to watch the launch video featuring Mr.jobs in California. Features seem to be pretty decent 9.7 inch screen, A4 apple processor, multi touch screen,ibooks,iworks and yes analysts say that its the best product to access the web. Prize is decent $499 with wi-fi enabled but no 3g, the ipad comes with three variants 16,32 and 64 gb. It is thin and sleek. Okay i am convinced with the technology behind it and Mr.jobs calling it the most revolutionary product apple has ever created, but what is so revolutionary about it i mean iphone was a revolutionary product or the ipod was but not Ipad.I would anyone buy an ipad for Internet usage i rather buy a netbook which has a faster speed than the speed of an ipad and even if i have to access the net, then i think people prefer something known as smart phones or phones such as nexus one, htc hero which have great camera and yes the future mother of all the operating systems Android.When i first saw the product i called it as the father of iphone. I still prefer reading books on Kindle or Entourage dual screen e-reader. Analysts predicts four million sales for ipad and are very optimistic about the product. No doubt the product will create a mark of its own as it is launched by apple and the war is getting meaner and meaner, dell and motorola decided to launch tablet pc's. God bless Apple.

Consumer Electronic Show

CES as it is known as is the greatest and the biggest gadget show in the world.All the biggies were there and yes they were there to unveil the best.From Samsung to Motorola , from Panasonic to sony ericsson all were there.Ces unveiled the biggest gadgets of all time from Samsung unveiling LED tv as thin as a pencil on the other hand Panasonic unveiled LCD tv 152 inches the biggest tv in the world. E-books were in the limelight as entourage e-book reader took it to a different level all together a twin screen e book reader, which makes it easy for the user to access an operating system as well as the e-reader at the same time. Though apple did not launched his well awaited tablet pc but yes dell and lenovo launched decided to dive in the cell phone market. LG gw990 phone with 4.2 inches screen was fascinating and pmp's were hiding from the show but samsung unveiled the ice touch. 3d 3d 3d ces was all about the new avatar and the next big thing. Cameras which conver 2d into 3d and 3d televisions as well, but where is the content to view 3d.Samsung also unvieled its app store which would integrate mobile phones,television and pmp's.The only thing missing from ces was Nokia, which apparently was mum about their innovations.Hope i manage to go to the next ces 2011.

Small car Big plans

Ratan Tata, chairman tata sons decided to roll out the revolutionary car tata nano in all the markets including US. Recently during the auto expo 2010 ratan tata announced his plans for entering into the US market with a bigger engine and compliance with auto emissons in USA and other regulatory issues. Geerish wagh the designer of tata nano shuld be credited about what he has done for the company and designing a revolutionary car that has made every car maker thinking about a new car segment that is car for the two wheeler driving people. Nano was underestimated alot with respect to emisson and the car will topple down if the speed increase by a certain limit. But the fact is it is this catr which passed all the tests in europe launching the tata europa and successfuly managed to clear the crash test. Nano has 21% more space than maruti suzuka an is much more efficient than any other car in the segment of small cars. Pradeep Thakur (auhor of the book Tata Nano) has provided some interesting facts about the car. The car will enter the market in US witha price tag of $8000 still cheaper than hyundai's car $9970. With production yet to begin in sanand plant in gujarat we can see more tata nano in the near future. Electric version of the car is also lunched in Europe. Tata motors also planned to luanch the SUV Aria price at 14 lakhs and also the sports version of indica vista. I hope Tata motors do wel in the near fufture as i am a big fan of Mr.ratan tata and his philantrophist ideas.

Google Nexus ONE

the creators of the search engine have decided to enter the mobile phone segment market with the launch of their new phone the Nexus One, Developed By HTC corporation and powered by Google's Android Operating system. The phone wals launched on 5th of January. Phone can be bought only through their website which is but ibvious easy to operate. The question during the lkaunch of the cell phone was is this phone the ultimate Iphone Killer? Analysts say that this is not the Iphone Killer as it lacks in lot of tech specs. Firstly the android os is new to the market and is not a fully developed os and needs time to strenghten itself and the App store has 18000 apps whwreas the iphone has 1 billion apps. The camera is good and better than iphone and the pricing too is better than iphone. With google launching the phone its easy to use google docs and other google apps on the phone. Analysts predicted that the androis market is growing 3 times faster than any other os. With launch of the new os by Nokia Maemo we really need to see where the finland company actually stands as it is loosing market shar drastically due to lack of innnovation and developing same old technology gaian and again. The Nokia N900 is the ultimate and the next big thing for Nokia. ANDROID is the future of call phones Operating System. The HTC Hero the first ever cell phone launched in Android Software is rated as the best phone by the T3 Magazine. Lets hope the Research in motion, Apple, samsung and Sony Ericsson do something out of the box .
