Airtel 3G Mobile TV App Preview

We checked out the soon to be launched Airtel Mobile TV app powered by Airtel 3G. The live tv app we checked is for Symbian. It runs on all symbian platforms except s60V2. This app comes with preloaded channels and we believe its free of charge to use. But you may be charged for data usage. The app streams the good number of channels without buffering. We are quite impressed with the streaming quality. We hope that the app will support streaming of videos as we found a video menu inside the app. Continue reading “Airtel 3G Mobile TV App Preview”

Man, what an #epic #win year it’s been for Apple! Poor-antenna-PR aside, pretty much everything the folks from Cupertino launched hit gold in 2010, whether it was the refreshed take on the iPods or the iPhone or the all new iPad, which spawned an almost dysenteric flow of Android tablets for the rest of the year! Not to forget the impossibly thin(ner) MacBook Air, which points to the future of how Apple notebooks will be. Think about it – a Jan. 27 iPad announcement, then the April 8 iOS 4 preview followed by the June 7 WWDC launch of the iPhone 4, and then the Sept. 1 iPod updates and finally…closing out the year with the Oct. 20 ‘Back to the Mac’ announcements! Phew! Continue reading “A Byte of Apple : 11 Predictions for 2011!”

Tour of Japanese Mobile Market by NTT DOCOMO

Earlier this month,  I was off to Japan on invitation from NTT Docomo as a part of the Tata Docomo 3G Life activity. Sounds like fun right ?  Excitement is an understatement.  I have always been amazed by the Japanese mobile market. Almost all of the products are not available outside the land of the rising sun.I have been very interested in NTT Docomo ever since I saw them at MWC and CommunicAsia. Stuff like Separable Phone and Eye controlled earphones are not something you would expect to see everyday. As you all might know NTT DOCOMO is one of the leading mobile operators in Japan with over 55% market share. The company holds 26% stake in Indian telecom operator Tata Docomo which sparked of the per second billing revolution and became the first private operator to launch 3G services.

I would like to share some interesting moments about the journey to NTT Docomo’s Headquarters in Japan Continue reading “Tour of Japanese Mobile Market by NTT DOCOMO”
