Nokia Booklet 3G, a cool companion

If you think Nokia has been sleeping while every one else has been diversifying then it's wrong. see this wonderful stuff, its completely cool.
Its a net book which is also a Nokia phone, you can just insert your 3G sim and start surfing, they have everything on this net book including the phone. So fundamentally like how Ipod touch evolved as a bigger Ipad its a bigger nokia phone which also your laptop.

Android and India

Android has been the talk of the town. But as far as India is concerned i don se much of development, i was wondering why. They reason in Chinese phones and Nokia, the basic Indian market is right now relying on the cheap Chinese phones and Nokia. We are used to the inter-phase of Nokia or the cheap price of Chinese phone. Once the Chinese phones start using the Android OS and Nokia comes with its first android phone then you will see the market for android. Since android is free like Linux the Chinese phone makers are going to exploit ( they are already) the OS like hell, you will find the cheap 2000 rupees phone with touch screen with android in a years time in India.
Already the top phones makers like Sony Ericsson, HTC and Samsung has started using android, once the Adam Pad, the much talked about 3000 rupees Ipad is released, every Indian will have one. Comparing the population and usage it also holds a big market.
What if schools start giving one Adams Pad to each students and make it compulsory. Then Ipad will loose its foot in Indian market, even in black with cheap price. Before that if these guys realise it and reduce the price then they are saved.

Mobiles I used

The first mobile i remember using was a Nokia, i don remember the model. It was in 2001 when i joined my first job in Nasik. I was gifted by my brother-inlaw. It was a very simple mobile, other than calling and messaging there where only two tools on the mobile, Snake and calculator. But i never used it to call or message people. I would see the number when some one calls me and then call from land line, the out going and the incoming was priced very high, some were around Rs.8/min.
Just before the mobile got popular appeared this little device called pager, it was a fancy stuff of Motorola, but not used much.
When i had my first mobile, i never took it to office because i thought if some one sees me with the mobile, their ego will get hurt, because apart from me there was only one guy using a mobile phone in my office, that was my GM, i was just a trainee in those times.
The mobile was so big and heavy that you can really feel that you are having one, not like one of those thin ones nowadays. I actually liked having it, because i had to carry in my hand, because of it size and this way i can flaunt that i possess the mobile.
The next one was a Ericsson one (not sony ericsson), again gifted by my brother-inlaw, it was smaller than the Nokia but it still weighed the same. But it had few tolls added to it like WAP, but WAP never worked in our network.It use to hang a lot and that was terrible.
Then i bought the latest 3310, the most popular model of all times. Its still my favourite model. Its simple, small and sturdy. By this time incoming was not charged.
Then i bought a flip model Nokia which had WAP but it was costly, i still used WAP for the heck of using. Then a Motorola which had better sound and it was the slimmest mobile of those days. Then came the Vodafone mobile and then Nokia again, then it was Samsung and the Nokia, then the worst happened, LG now iam back with Samsung Metro 3310 :) which is a simple sturdy mobile with simple tools to make a call and message people. Iam happy with this one. I hope i don change mobiles any more, and i don want to
