Rss in Outlook web access(OWA)
Posted by jakku on March 11, 2009
Just a quick thought/Post
Why don’t we have RSS feeds in Outlook web access ???? I am not sure of the technical difficulties in implementing this.. But it will be really good if RSS feed reader in available in OWA. What’s your thought on this ? Googled and found identical thought posted in microsoft discussion group.

iPhone in India
Posted by jakku on August 7, 2008
Most of you know that Apple iPhone is officialy going to be launched in India. I have been reading a lot of post on this. Here comes my version.
You can find the history of iPhone here. In us it was released on june 29,2007 for 599 USD (8GB) and 499 USD (4GB) and it was a massive success. let us get into the recent days… On July 11, 2008, Apple released the iPhone 3G in 22 countries and the cost was 199$, 299$. As per isuppli (market researcher) the new 3G iPhone will cost just 173 $ to make.
The most expensive component on the 3G iPhone is the 8GB of NAND flash memory storage, at $22.80, followed by the touch screen at $20, iSuppli estimates.
In all, the chips and other components in the handset add up to $164, and then iSuppli estimates Apple is paying another $9 for assembly of the device, for a total of $173.
Check out the Original Post form infoworld on Why is the new 3G iPhone so cheap?
Now lets get into the Indian market. In India Airtel and Vodafone will be selling iPhone. I remember reading, that Apple has decided not to sell iphone directly through retail shop and internet (India). So officially it is available only through airtel and vodafone. (I dont have the link. If i am wrong, correct it) Now will the cost be same as US (199*42.07 =) 8372 INR. Lets see what bussiness standard says. (Thanks to Srikanth)
According to industry sources, prices of the latest iPhone (Version 2.0) would be at least double the amount of that in the US. The 8-gb version of the gizmo is likely to be priced between Rs 16,000 and 18,000, while the 16-gb would cost around Rs 24,000 to Rs 28,000 in the country
Yesterday ( 6th Aug 2008 ) Airtel announced Aug 22nd will be the launch date. But the price is a ‘ ? ‘ No official announcement in their web site . I dont see any announcement from vodafone on launch date and price on their web site. But another news says that vodafone will launch on aug 22nd.
Now questions that i have… Will the phone comes with a post paid connection with hidden cost ?? What will be the price? If the price is above 11,000 INR, will it be a massive hit as expected? According to the recent survey, more than 150,000 2G iPhones are already been use in India.

TATA Indicom mobile
Posted by jakku on July 26, 2008
I got a TATA Indicom mobile couple of days back. My first CDMA connection. Hand set costs 699 rs. I selected the basic model. Haier 2010c. I purchased the mobile and the connection online at their online store. It costs the same as showroom, but there is a compliment for online orders. A 100K Digicam.. ha ha. It is not actually a good one (Looks like a toy). I remember seeing an invoice for 99rs then converted to 0 rs (free) for the digicam with the guy who delivered the handset to me. The compliment works with 2 AAA size battery. What i think really useful to me is the mini USB cable that i got for the digicam 🙂 Will try to write a review about the handset and the network.

The problems with Girls
Posted by jakku on April 2, 2007
Good forward from GoKuL R
The problems with Girls :
If u TREAT her nicely, she says u are IN LOVE with her;
If u Don’t , she says u are PROUD .
If u DRESS Nicely , she says u are trying to Impress Her ;
If u Don’t , she says u are from VILLAGE .
If u ARGUE with her, she says u are STUBBORN ;
If u keep QUIET , she says u have no BRAINS .
If u are SMARTER than her, she’ll lose FACE ;
If she’s Smarter than u, she is GREAT . (As they normally think)
If u don’t make love with her., she says u don’t Love her;
If u do !! she says u are CHEAP.
If u BREAK your PROMISE, u Cannot be TRUSTED ;
If she BREAKS her, she is FORCED to do so.
& sooo hard to please !!!!!
If u send this to girls, they will swear that it’s not true…….
but if u don’t, they say u are selfish…..
The moral of the story is…….
SEND THIS TO Girls OUT THERE ANYWAY …
Send it to boys also, gives them some laughter .
