India on Thursday unveiled a prototype tablet computer for 1,500 rupees
0 commentsIndia on Thursday unveiled a prototype tablet computer that would sell for a mere 1,500 rupees, or $35, with the price possibly dropping even further as R&D efforts continue.
Kapil Sibal, the country's Minister for Human Resource Development, showed off the super-cheap touch-screen device in New Delhi as part of a push to provide high-quality education to students across the country. The tablet also comes with a solar-power option that could make it more feasible for rural areas.
The Linux-based computer at first glance resembles an Apple iPad and features basic functions you'd expect to see in a tablet--a Web browser, multimedia player, PDF reader, Wi-Fi, and video conferencing ability. It has 2GB of RAM (but no hard disk, instead using a memory card) and USB ports and could be available to kids from primary school up to the university level as early as next year.
Students from several branches of the Indian Institute of Technology co-designed motherboards for the computer, which the ministry would like to see dropping to $20 and possibly getting as low as $10.
Sibal called the as-yet-unnamed device India's answer to MIT's famed OLPC laptop aimed at children in developing nations, which started off five years ago with a projected cost of $100, but ended up going for $200. In May, Marvell Technologies announced that it would partner with the OLPC foundation to create the hardware for a proposed OLPC tablet, currently named the XO-3, that would go for around $100.
But while the extremely low price of India's newly unveiled tablet is generating much hoopla, the gadget still faces hurdles before it lands in the public's hands.
"This is just a prototype," education expert Zubin Malhotra told Newsxlive. "We need to find people who will be able to manufacture these devices at these price points and continue to develop them going forward."
The tablet is part of a larger initiative aimed at improving India's educational system through technology. Nearly 8,500 colleges in the country have already gotten broadband connectivity, according to the Ministry for Human Resource Development, and some 500 Web-based and video courses are available for upload on YouTube and other online portals, with more in the works

Preview iPhone Apps In Your Browser
0 commentsStarting today (Feb 4th 2010), Apple finally activated the possibility to preview applications from the AppStore right in your browser. Our readers had the pleasure of seeing a preview html page of the actual AppStore page for the app in their own browser, instead of the dialog box prompting you to launch iTunes on your desktop. Note though, the dialog box is not gone. You will still be prompted to launch iTunes, but if you don't wish to, you can still preview the actual application's page, as if in iTunes.
The feature is rather limited at the time of this writing. You can't really browse the AppStore per-se. You can only jump from app to app (via "Customers also bought"), and any link you try to click on will get you to that dialog box. For example, clicking on "View More by this Developer" or the app's rating (i.e. "Rated 12+ for the following:") will prompt you to open up iTunes.
Plus, there is no way to start from the homepage of the AppStore and work your way within. You need an actual link to an app to start with. Add to that no search functionality and what you basically have is a simple preview page for the application. If you need more, please launch iTunes.
The AppStore browser preview comes a few months after Apple launched iTunes Preview, which let users see what music is available in iTunes from their own browser, before having to install the actual desktop software to listen to and purchase it.
If you wanna start "browsing" the AppStore from your browser, this is as good a place as any to start from: Rafter iPhone app (link does not open iTunes, *necessarily*).
If you decide to go to the store Click on "View in iTunes"

Bing May Become iPhone's Default Search Engine
0 commentsIt’s no secret that Apple and Microsoft have one of the stranger relationships in tech. While Microsoft has produced software such as Office for the Macintosh platform, and Apple has opened its doors to Windows with its switch to Intel, they still are highly competitive with each other. But Cupertino’s relationship with Google is souring far faster, which is the perfect opening for Microsoft when it comes to the iPhone.
Apple is apparently in discussions with Microsoft to give the Bing search engine the top spot for search on iPhone, which currently belongs to Google. These talks have been underway for several weeks, BusinessWeek reports, but nothing as of yet has been finalized.
Getting on the iPhone as the default search engine would be a huge win for Bing. I regularly search for things on my iPhone, so just the boost there in search queries would help Microsoft overall in gaining some search share, something it sorely needs. It’s not clear whether any search deal would also extend to the Safari browser, available on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms.
Either way, its pretty likely that Google wouldn’t be completely erased from the iPhone. YouTube is a popular application. Apple would probably also let users switch back to Google in settings just like it already does now if users wish to search using Yahoo. Bing Maps could replace Google Maps, however.
What are your thoughts on the increasingly hostile relationship between Apple and Google? Who stands to benefit most here? We’d like to hear what you think.

Rafter - Are You In The Mood For A Challenge?
0 commentsRafter is a deceptively simple game with 21 progressive levels which involves dropping blocks accurately to strike a mine.
Product URL: http://www.punflay.com/rafter.html
Punflay opens the account for 2010 with Rafter
0 commentsGaming outfit Punflay, a part of Emantras Inc has recently announced the submission of their brand new game called Rafter. It is designed to go Free for the first few days and then rest at 99c. Punflay's last app Dress Jinjee was a holiday special, specifically designed for Christmas and New Year and won the hearts of thousands of users who downloaded it.
Rafter is an engaging game with blocks and spheres which have to be dropped with precision to strike a mine. Spread over 21 challenging levels, it tests the user's attention and skills to strike the mine as the timer ticks. The game has the scores tied with the number of moves made. The equation is simple: Each level has a fixed number of moves and the score increases when you solve the game using the least number of moves.
Features:
* One of its kind physics based game in which the player can sketch objects of required sizes
* Choice of selecting the type of sketches between circle and rectangle.
* Open feint enabled to share the scores
* 21 mind blowing levels with interesting designs.
* Witty and highly addictive levels targeting players' drawing skills.
The developers opine that it uses a bit of understanding of Physics and common sense to carefully discharge the blocks which fall under gravity and strike against more plans to ultimately strike a mine which blows on the impact. This game thus has an educational angle to it, which makes Punflay games all the more special. The developers also plan to add more levels in the next update.
Punflay is a gaming outfit which belongs to an international digital learning company by the name Emantras. Was founded in 2009 and launched their 1st iPhone app called Adams Trouble.

Steve Jobs takes $1 salary in 2009
0 commentsNot many would know that Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs, draws a salary of US$1 year on year. This year, he chose not to accept any bonus or stock options from Apple either. Apple again gave its founder and CEO a symbolic salary of $1 for the fiscal year 2009, according to a report filed on Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Times Of India had covered an interesting article earlier this week, on how Apple pays back Steve Jobs for his contribution back to Apple in particular and the world of technology at large:
Jobs does not get a bonus or reimbursement for perks that many other CEOs accept, such as personal security, according to a regulatory filing. Apple said it reimbursed Jobs $4,000 for company travel on his $90 million Gulfstream V jet, which he received as a bonus in 1999.
That’s far less than the $871,000 Apple reimbursed Jobs in 2008. The CEO took nearly six months off in 2009 for medical leave, during which time he received a liver transplant. He returned to work at the company’s Cupertino, California, headquarters part-time at the end of June.
Steve Jobs, holds 5.5 million shares of Apple’s stock. He has not sold any shares since he rejoined the company in 1997, nor has he been awarded any new equity since 2003

Japanese man marries his DS game, no one calls him crazy
0 comments.. until now! A Japanese man, who is obviously a little bit off his rocker, has married a character in a Japanese dating sim for his DS. Now that he’s married to his virtual girlfriend in the virtual DS dating simulation. Love Plus, he also apparently decided to go on a honeymoon with her - to Guam. You can’t make this stuff up, folks.
The man, who prefers to use his online name of SAL9000 (get it?!?), met his now virtual wife Nene Anegasaki while playing Love Plus. It was love at first touch - he married “her” a few weeks ago and broadcasts the ceremony live on a Japanese video-sharing site.
SAL9000, who did not want to reveal his real name for fear of being ridiculed admits that he’s an “otaku,” a person who is obsessed with video games, anime, computers and fantasy worlds. Some might call them NERDS.
