So, Everyone expected this to be coming. The world’s largest mobile operating system company Symbian, is slowly moving towards becoming a completely open source. Though not wholly, but its code will be made available to the developers of the Symbian foundation, a consortium of companies comprising of Nokia, NTTDoCoMo, LG Electronics, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, AT&T, Texas instruments, Motorola and others, a conglomeration of 64 companies promoting the soon to be open sourced mobile OS in 2009. The plans in the pipeline include the amalgamation of S60, and its followers the UIQ and NTTDoCoMo’s MOAP.

The emerging competition among the various open source operating systems is catching on as Android is growing older and older. And as Nokia, buys out the remaining part of Symbian, speculations are ripe that this could add fuel to the competition among the open source operating systems. With the existing market being ruled by the iPhone and Android making its presence felt, with critics riding on its back for being too Luddite-like, Nokia is trying to fix things up by making its flagship OS, an open source.
Nokia recently launched its new smartphone, the N97, bandied as the most advanced smartphone available.

Never Thought this was coming. After the famous LHC rap guess its time for the Android to share its jig with us. And if there are any guys who ain’t following then here it is for them!

Here it is the Blackberry Pearl 8220. Guess the first flip phone from the guys at RIM. It seems to be really huge when you open up but that doesn’t matter as its the specs that matter for us. The usual Black berry phone that comes equipped with a QWERTY (the simplest word to type if it were a word) key board, a Hi-res 240×320 screen (that looks small), external one being 128×160, the 3.5 mm headphone jack(hmm), a micro USB charging port.

This is the new app from the guy who designed the Barcode scanner app called the Scan for G1. Jeffrey Sharkey develops this killer app that can be used as a remote control using which you can control the videos or play lists on your iTunes literally from your PC or TV.

This is nice geeky rendition to the greatest experiment ever in human history at least to date. This simply explains the moolah behind the whole thing.

So, here it is at last the the search giant has at last come up with its own web browser which would allow a lot of its apps and poducts embedded into it thus increasing the UI. The chrome based on the comic version pioneered by Steve McCloud has a google look appended to it. From the screenshots the tabs are above the address bar which is christened the omnibox which uses the search suggestions thing from the Google Search engine. And also the users might expect a brery of apps that might be easily accesse

One of the Android fans designed this beautifully compiled piece of 3-d enhanced G1. This looks amazing and gorgeous….I like the white version though am not sure what are the versions HTC ‘d be releasing.

How great it ‘d ‘ve been if the guys at Samsung opted to Android than the MS Windows 6.1?

Whew!!! Always liked Samsung as my first mobile was a Samsung. Just liked the look of it….Hope I get my hands onto this new cool offering..

This is my first shot with my Cyber-shot and I really enjoyed it. It shows the river Ganga in a real violent mood  as it descends down the himalayas.

One year into independence and India is still a young nation. Its still trying to gain some ground and make its mark on the international scene. A team of this still young nation sets off to Australia to play five test matches. The Australian side led by Sir Don Bradman nearly white washes the Indian side 4-0. None would have expected a young team under the leadership of Lala Amarnath to white wash Australia.
