Airtel Launched Amazing iphone 3GS

Airtel has been confirmed to bring the iPhone 3GS to India. Vodafone is expected to launch the same shortly, but come Friday, March 26, Airtel will be the sole carrier.

The price of the iPhone 3GS has gone sky-rocketing. The 16GB model retails at Rs. 35,500, while the 32GB model costs Rs. 41,500. In Maharashtra, these handsets would also be levied with additional VAT, bring the prices closer to Rs. 40,000 for the 16GB and Rs. 46,000 for the 32GB.
As of now, there are no exchange offers for current iPhone 3G users, nor are there any new specialised tariff plans. It looks like those hoping that Airtel would start a flat unlimited-bandwidth scheme are in for a disappointment.
But anyway, the latest and greatest from Apple has finally hit the Indian shores and here’s what is new in the
Airtel iPhone 3GS:

Improved Performance: Everything you do on iPhone 3GS is up to 2x faster and more responsive than iPhone 3G. The new 3-megapixel camera takes great still photos, too, thanks to built-in autofocus and a handy new feature that lets you tap the display to focus on anything (or anyone) you want.
Video Recording: Now you can shoot video, edit it, and share it – all on your iPhone 3GS. Shoot high-quality VGA video in portrait or landscape. Trim your footage by adjusting start and end points.

Voice Control: Recognises the names in your Contacts and knows the music on your iPod. So if you want to place a call or play a song, all you have to do is ask.
Digital Compass: With a built-in digital compass, iPhone 3GS can point the way. Use the new Compass app, or watch as it automatically reorients maps to match the direction you’re facing.
Cut, Copy & Paste: Cut, copy, and paste words and photos, even between applications. Copy and paste images and content from the web, too.

Spotlight Search: Find what you’re looking for across your iPhone, all from one convenient place. Spotlight searches all your contacts, email, calendars, and notes, as well as everything in your iPod.

Landscape Keyboard: Want more room to type on the intelligent software keyboard? Rotate iPhone to landscape to use a larger keyboard in Mail, Messages, Notes, and Safari.

Voice Memos: Capture and share a thought, a memo, a meeting, or any audio recording on the go with the new Voice Memos application. Very High price but no doubt Fun and Utils unlimited........If you can afford , its the best gadget.....:) Bye . Sameer Sharma sameer.sharma@ds-india.com

Apple iPad - Reasons to buy

Its more then a e-book reader and more then an iPhone ...lets have some good and basic know how and difference
Reasons to Buy:
1. Undeniably cool. The iPad looks like a giant iPod and the look supersizes quite nicely.
2. The best e-reader? The iPad is already generating comments that it will be a Kindle-beater and Nook-destroyer. The 16 GB $499 model may not be good for carrying around lots of movies and music, but it should hold a lot of books. I want to hear more about the hands-on reading experience, but early word is the iPad is an excellent place to enjoy a good book. Or a textbook, which is a huge potential market for the device.
3. Gaming. The iPhone became a surprise hit among gamers, or at least expanded the market to include lots of previous non-gamers (such as myself). Either way, the iPad is optimized to improve the iPhone gaming experience, allowing new elements to be added to games that can be played on both the iPhone/iPod touch and the new iPad.
4. The iPad makes it easy to share media. Not for a whole room, but you and a friend or two should be able to watch movies, listen to music, or pass the iPad back-and-forth for games. It's just the right size for sharing up-close and the lack of a keyboard makes the iPad easier to handle than a notebook.
5. Applications. With all the above going for it, the iPad almost doesn't have to do things like Web surfing and e-mail checking or document writing. But, it does them all and runs 140,000 iPhone apps besides. Sure, the best apps will be specially-written for the iPad, but you can use iPhone/iPod touch favorites right away.
6. Time may be on your side. The iPad may become much more compelling--thanks to new apps--between now and its March/April ship dates.
Reasons to Hold Off:
1. There is no subsidy on the 3G version. Apple wants you to pay $829 for the 64GB device, plus monthly wireless fees for AT&T's 3G. The first year total: $1,189.
2. The wrong screen. It's not clear why Apple didn't choose a 16:9 aspect ratio, the standard for widescreen entertainment, but not doing so makes the iPad much less interesting for watching movies.
3. It's not much of a work machine. New applications may hammer away at the iPad's limitations, but the truth is that a notebook or netbook or even (in many circumstances) an iPhone is much more useful. Maybe it isn't even fair to ask a device so well-tuned for entertainment to work at the office too, but Apple is promoting the iPad as a work tool. And right now, I have to respond, "No" in most circumstances.
4. If you don't need all the other features, a Kindle or Nook offer better battery life for e-reading, but lack the color screen.
5. The iPad is a "tweener," in the bad sense of the word. Not a computer, but not a smartphone, the iPad lacks the functionality of a notebook and the convenience of an iPhone or Droid. The iPad may be just one more thing to haul around if you already carry a notebook, which it doesn't come close to replacing.
6. By the time the iPad ships, the excitement may be over. Perhaps helping lots of people save money.
There are many more reasons, both pro and con, regarding an iPad purchase but the best one may be the simplest: You've either got to have one (and have the spare cash) or the iPad doesn't do much for you.
Since it won't be available until March or April (for the 3G models), you have lots of time to change your mind. And for the initial excitement to wear off.

It will take atleast 2-3 months to come to India.....email for more updates to me at sameer.sharma@gmail.com

Swine flu : Preventions & Cure!

Swine flu in India is spreading like wildfire, taking the toll to six. Officials say there are currently more than 800 cases of the H1N1 flu strain in India. Governments from all around the world are finding ways to combat this deadly disease. So what can you do to protect yourself? Stay calm and practice these 10 effective prevention tips.

1. Wash your hands frequently

Use the antibacterial soaps to cleanse your hands. Wash them often, at least 15 seconds and rinse with running water.

2. Get enough sleep

Try to get 8 hours of good sleep every night to keep your immune system in top flu-fighting shape.

3. Keep hydrated

Drink 8 to10 glasses of water each day to flush toxins from your system and maintain good moisture and mucous production in your sinuses.

4. Boost your immune system

Keeping your body strong, nourished, and ready to fight infection is important in flu prevention. So stick with whole grains, colorful vegetables, and vitamin-rich fruits.

5. Keep informed

The government is taking necessary steps to prevent the pandemic and periodically release guidelines to keep the pandemic away. Please make sure to keep up to date on the information and act in a calm manner.

6. Avoid alcohol

Apart from being a mood depressant, alcohol is an immune suppressant that can actually decrease your resistance to viral infections like swine flu. So stay away from alcoholic drinks so that your immune system may be strong.

7. Be physically active

Moderate exercise can support the immune system by increasing circulation and oxygenating the body. For example brisk walking for 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week will significantly perk up your immunity.

8. Keep away from sick people

Flu virus spreads when particles dispersed into the air through a cough or sneeze reach someone else’s nose. So if you have to be around someone who is sick, try to stay a few feet away from them and especially, avoid physical contact.

9. Know when to get help

Consult your doctor if you have a cough and fever and follow their instructions, including taking medicine as prescribed.

10. Avoid crowded areas

Try to avoid unnecessary trips outside. Moreover, avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

Li-On Battery Do's and Don'ts

Here is a quick list of Do's and Don'ts for the care of your Li-On batteries.
Do's

•When you receive a new NoteBook or Tablet PC, leave the battery to fully charge overnight.
•Condition a new battery by using it until it is fully discharged, and then re-charge it fully. Doing this once a month will help to accurately calibrate your battery.
•Always ensure the battery is recharged as soon as possible after it becomes fully discharged. A battery will be permanently damaged if left for an extended length of time in a fully discharged state.
•Remember that a Lithium-Ion battery will slowly deteriorate; a new battery will always perform better than one that is 6-months old.
•Remember that the battery half-life is rated for a certain total number of charge/discharge cycles (see your User Manual or Quick Start Guide for the rating). For example, a battery that is rated for 3 hours and 500 charge/discharge cycles, will still be considered as within specification, even if it only lasts for 1 hour 45 minutes after 500 charge/discharge cycles.
•Heat is the worst enemy of a battery. Allow plenty of air to circulate around the Notebook/Tablet PC, so that the battery is kept as cool as possible when charging and also when in use. If provided, use the integrated 'legs' under the Notebook to raise the notebook and improve air circulation.
•Remove the battery if storing for several months (the battery should be at approximately 50% charge or higher).
•If you use a NoteBus or if charging your Notebooks or Tablet PCs in a confined space, allow for adequate ventilation in order to keep the batteries as cool as possible.
Don'ts

•Do Not - Expose the battery to excessive heat or cold (i.e. outside the range of 10-35 degrees Centigrade ambient).
•Do Not - Store the battery in a fully charged state (store batteries with about 50% charge).
•Do Not - Allow a nearly flat battery to be unused for more than a month or so. The battery will slowly discharge until it becomes fully discharged and this will permanently damage the battery cells.
•Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC inside a carry case - the battery may overheat.
•Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC when stacked on top of each other - the battery may overheat.

Remember: Your battery is slowly degrading all the time, even if it is not used. Keeping your battery as cool as possible will slow down this degradation considerably.
