Nokia Meego OS Revie | upcoming nokia smartphone Os review

Nokia may have called 'timeout' for the Meego OS. Nokia N9, the last ( and first ) Meego running recently recieved its update 1.3. Probably the last update. Having announced that the Meego OS has fallen out of favour, and will not be recieving anymore love from Nokia. And the key members of the Meego team have left in search of better jobs.

But now it is in news that Meego is coming back, for good. Ex-employees of Nokia, the Meego team members, are now the part of a new company Jolla. Jolla is, like Nokia, a Finland based company with some amount of foriegn investment. This company now employs some of the best minds in the industry and is looking for Meego developers and supporters to join them in Finland.

Jolla was actually born in april 2011. Since its start, it has been working on a smart phone ( or many. not clear). That is what its CEO Jussi Hurmola, claims. Eventhough details are not avialable, the next Meego device is scheduled later this year, with my bets on 4th quarter.

The CEO claimed Jolla would not run into patent problems with larger companies, probably referring to Nokia. The Jolla device will not be using the Harmattan Swipe gesture UI seen on the Nokia N9. Instead a new User Interface is in the works. The Harmattan UI is the private property of Nokia, unlike the Meego OS itself which is Open Source.

(all this action, and storytelling is taking place on Twitter, and LinkedIn. So you can follow Jolla, Meego, Jussi Hurmola for getting latest updates..)

On being asked why the company did not go with Android OS, the CEO gave an answer similiar to Nokia's. They wanted to have an identity. Not to be lost in the crowd of google followers out there.. The question is, will Jolla make a mark on the industry? Meego was a revolutionary product, when clubbed with N9 hardware and Harmatten UI. Can Jolla bring it back.


Finally, on being asked wheter Nokia N9 will be supported by Jolla, the answer, as expected turned out to be a no. Ofcourse the modding community will port the new edition to older devices, no doubt, given the large community(compared to installed user base) support Meego and Maemo recieved..

ACi worlds cheapest Laptop for 4999 RS | price in india | Details and features and specification

Source : The Hindu

ACi, a laptop specialist brand from the U.K., on Wednesday, unveiled the lowest-priced and fully-functional laptop computer for the Indian market.

The ACi Icon 1100 is a fully-functional high resolution 10.2-inch screen laptop computer priced at Rs.4,999.

ACi is represented in India by Allied Computers International (Asia) Ltd., which will market the products here and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Speaking to The Hindu, Hirji Patel, Chairman, Allied Computers International (Asia), said, “The ACi ICON 1100 is the lowest-priced fully-functional laptop in India. It is Windows-compatible with an expandable memory up to 1 GB.”

The low-priced product is among a range of seven products that the company unveiled on Wednesday and the other products are mid-to-high-end laptops.

On the company’s ability to sell the product at such a low cost, Mr. Patel said, “as is the case with most of these products across the globe, component sourcing as well as manufacturing is done from the Far East, and our margins are very thin.”

Mr. Patel said the company expected to sell 2 lakh units of the ACi Icon in a year.

“That is a conservative estimate, and we may sell that many this calendar year itself. We are planning to launch the ‘model B’ of the base model ACi Icon here in the next two or three months,” Mr. Patel said.

The company has an existing dealership of 200 . “In the next two months, we want to add around 500 more dealerships across India,” he said.

Point out that some state governments were offering cheap, functional laptops for students, Mr. Patel said his company was already in talks with “a couple of state governments.” A U.K.-based non-resident Indian, Mr. Patel established the ACi brand there in 1992 and ACi introduced its first custom-designed ACi NotePro in India in 1993. He has since introduced several laptops in India, usually at a steep discount to competing products.

Aircel launches affordable new 3G plans

Aircel launches affordable new 3G plans

Aircel has just announced brand new 3G plans at what are looking like very attractive prices. The plans starting at Rs. 7 for 50MB of data go right up to Rs. 997 for 10GB of high speed data. With Aircel’s new offering of Pocket Internet Smart , the company aims to “revolutionize the landscape of mobile internet“.

Aircel’s Pocket Internet Smart will offer 3G and 2G data on a single recharge and the plans will be device agnostic. The data limits have been set only on 3G data. What this means is that a user will be able to consume data at speeds varying from 3.6-7.2Mbps according to their plan after which there is no limit on the amount of data being consumed at EDGE speeds. This is definitely an interesting move by Aircel and one which we hope other operators would introduce soon. The plans are not locked to a particular device and can be used across phones , tablets and even dongles. Prices might vary slightly across circles so you are recommended to contact Aircel Customer Care by dialing 121 from your phone for exact prices
