Is Galaxy S3 going to cost a bomb?
In: Mobiles
17 May 2012
Samsung’s latest flagship phone is to be released on May 29th world wide and is expected to come in India in June first week. It seems there are lot of speculations about the price as it is the most powerful smartphone at the moment. It is also packed with features like 4.8″ 720P SuperAMOLED HD screen, 8MP camera with face recognition, Smart stay (eye tracking to keep the screen on), S-voice which is Samsung’s answer to iPhone’s Siri etc.
Galaxy S3 Price – Facts vs Speculations
Yesterday, IBNLive reported that the price will be as high as 42,500 Rs (780 US $) and several blog sites continued spreading the news. However, if you read the news carefully, it is the expected price for the highest capacity model. Samsung has announced that the device will be available in 3 capacities (16 GB, 32 GB & 64 GB). But unlike iPhones or HTC One X (32GB), the Galaxy S III will have a micro SD slot and hence a 16 GB version is the most sensible choice. This means, the lowest capacity, that is the 16 GB version is to be priced around 32-35 K (assuming around 3K to 4K difference for the next higher version).

Why the new iPad is not a success in India?
In: Tablets
8 May 2012
Apple officially announced that India will get the ‘new iPad’ from April 27th. But as always it once again failed to reach the masses in India. Despite the fact that the new iPad (or iPad 3 as people say it) has a great screen and excellent graphics it is not selling in India as much as it was expected to. I can think of some reasons.
Where is the ‘new iPad’?

Though Apple officially announced that it will be available from April 27th, this is not yet available in most cities across India. Reliance Digital store is distributing/selling the product and they have only very limited presence across the country. I’ve contacted so many dealers which were listed in Apple India’s website but they didn’t have any clue about the date when they will get stock. It was released on March 16th in US and other countries and it is almost two months after the release. Naturally the excitement dies after sometime and people won’t care about the “new” in “new iPad”.

You might have already heard the news about Google’s Android Market surpassing 10 billion (1000 Crores) downloads and Google is celebrating the occasion by featuring 10 premium apps daily for just 0.1$(5.13Rs) for 10 consecutive days. Well, if you’ve not heard about it, you’ve already lost two days of apps that were worth more than 2000 Rs( it is already the third day).
All of the below apps were available for just 5 Rs yesterday
All of these apps were available for just 5 Rs (0.1$)
Don’t miss the chance to own excellent apps for just 5 Rs. I’ve already spent just around 75 Rs (1.5$) and bought some great apps that costs around 1500Rs otherwise. The apps include some of the finest games and utilities.
Thanks Google for the royal celebration. Waiting for the 20 Billion downloads celebrations

Why is the new Apple iPhone a big disappointment?
In: Reviews
5 Oct 2011
The tech world was eagerly waiting for the announcement from Apple about the new iPhone and there were a lot of rumors about the new hardware. But Apple disappointed even its fans by announcing a phone which is pretty ordinary. People were so disappointed and even the Apple shares got a 5% loss just after announcing the new iPhone 4S yesterday.
The main reasons for the disappointments are,
Where is the iPhone 5?
People were waiting for iPhone 5, but Apple announced an iPhone 4S with no physical change (jut like iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS). It is disappointing that a company like Apple took more than 1 year (15 + months) just to upgrade some of its hardware and there is no change externally. You can’t differentiate the new iPhone from the old. Also, the 3.5″ retina display is not enough for most people’s needs and people expected a bigger screen.
