HTC Touch Cruise launched in India

HTC Touch Cruise is now available for a you-need-to-loot-a-bank-to-buy-it price of INR 32000 (US$800). The Windows Mobile 6 equipped handset comes with a nice GPS navigation system (the reason behind the “cruise” moniker) and a 400 MHz Qualcomm processor. The phone is an all-rounder in that it has a 3 MP auto focus camera, 3G [...]

iPhone India launch imminent

According to Business Standard reports, the iPhone is expected to be launched in India in the first week of September. The expected price point for the 8GB model is around INR 28,000 (Approximately $700). The worst part about the launch is that even at this relatively high price point, the iPhone will be sold locked [...]

S60 browser will continue to use webkit

Hmmm… So those were some of the rumors. The S60 browser team has posted on their blog that the browser is here to stay with enhancements currently being taken from the Leopard branch. Here is a quote from the post:
We are not backing away from Webkit no matter what you might have read on one [...]

Fring for the Apple iPhone!

Fring is one indispensible software for people who use VoIP a lot. Previously available only for S60 and Windows Mobile users, Fring now is available for Jailbroken iPhones too!
I tried Skype with a friend of mine. He registered for a new Skype account from his Mac and added me as a buddy, but his name [...]

Is Nokia switching to Gecko for S60?

An email over at the webkit mailing lists suggest that Nokia/S60 developers have not checked in any source modifications in the last 8 months!! This could mean anyone of these two things: Either Nokia has switched to another rendering engine, like the Gecko or they are waiting for a new release to be out to [...]

Got an Apple iPhone

Yep. I too have the world’s most desired gadget now. I purchased it from one of my online acquaintances. The phone came unactivated with an AT&T sim card. I unlocked it using iPlus 2.0 for Windows and later synced with my Mac.
In my short usage time of about an hour, I am impressed and at [...]

I am an S60 Ambassador

I received the S60 Ambassador merchandise today. The kit consisted of a cool T-Shirt, 2 notepads, a nice pen and a tag. Too bad, that T Shirt was a little small for me. Interestingly, I am selected as an ambassador for the Ovi program, which is not yet available for India users on the Share [...]

Wordpress 2.5 widget management

The admin panel went through a major revamp in Wordpress 2.5. While most of the changes are welcome, IMHO, I think they made a mess of the widget management system. Gone is the ease of the drag and drop  widget changing on the fly. Lets say if you want to move a widget from sidebar [...]

Tip: Using iMovie HD to edit your DVD movies

If you are like me, probably you are not a fan of the new iMovie ‘08 editor. While it is a great tool for beginneers, users accustomed with editing on iMovie HD will be missing a lot of bells and whistles. Apple even offers the iMovie HD as a free download if you have purchased [...]

Wordpress 2.5 upgrade

I upgraded the site to Wordpress 2.5 last night. The new admin interface is indeed cool, but it seems to take a while to get accustomed to it, because we were so much used to the old interface.
The upgrade went pretty smooth, except for one issue with the visual editor. Popup dialogs like Add image, [...]
