Other than that, this thing comes with a built-in fingerprint sensor, an integrated camera, GPS, built in speakers, mic, USB port etc.

The SHIFT comes with two processors, implying - this thing can be used as a laptop (OS Windows Vista) or as a Pocket PC (Qualcomm Processor). Looks cool for a laptop.

I doubt I would ever use this as a cell phone. It is just too huge to be a phone. Yeah sure, one could use the headset or bluetooth or whatever, but I would seriously prefer to use this as a laptop only (that's just my view)

On Vista, you can have about 3 hrs of run time (impressive, given the size) . Stand by this thing can give you up to 53 hrs (Push email enabled).

This thing looks quite impresive although a tad bit impractical. say, do you know if anyone in Kuwait's got the HTC Touch? I saw it in the UK last week and was pretty amazed with what it can do. It's got an extra sensitive touch screen a la the iPhone and I somewhow seem to prefer it to the iPhone. For now at least!!!

I am waiting for the I-phone to get better. Will wait for a bit more.

About the HTC Touch, Well I did see a few HTC models at Carrefour. No harm in giving it a shot.

Jasper Motor Vehicle Company

“ KOLKATA: Kanishk Sinha, 30, and his wife Lipika, 25, chose to do something different from looking for jobs - they invented a fuel-less environment-friendly auto engine. "This engine is switched on by a chemical reaction between zinc and oxygen; hence it is pollution-free. This technology also increases the durability of the engine," Kanishk Sinha, chairman of the Jasper Motor Vehicle company, said. The young couple established the company registered in the US five years ago with Rs100 crore raised from non-resident Indians. They got the engine patented with BigPatents India, a body supported by the Ford Foundation. Link Did a quick google search (just the first page) for Jasper motor vehicles. The link below made some sense. http://www.jasperengines.com/about-jasper.htm Couldn't find the name SINHA anywhere on the ABOUT US page. So I am assuming that’s a different organization. However, there are other results about the same story, but they a...

Hate the Nano? - You are a CASTEIST - India

Not elitists but neo-casteists - hate the Nano (Title of the TOI Article) " The negative response to the Nano springs from neo-casteism. Those who oppose the Nano not only have their own non-people's (often chauffeur-driven) limousines, but these limousines frequently ferry them to and from international airports which they whizz through to attend seminars on global warming, carbon emissions and sustainable development (we'll do the developing; you can do the sustaining). In fact, the other great bete noire of technological casteists apart from the Everyman car are Everyman cheap air fares. The shitty article - Click here OK.. Elitist is actually a word, but Casteist?? hmm. Did a Google search using the define attribute - No results, word not found ( link ). Did a web search for the word - Did find results. All the results appearing on the first page, were from Indian newspapers/sites (link) - No I didn't bother to check out the other pages for the s...
