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 [...]

The expected price point for the 8GB model is around INR 28,000 (Approximately $700).

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:

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
