i was quite upset when i saw the news woke till 1:00Am to kjnow the status, i was also shocked that early reports claimed that the firing is within two gang groups, but lately it was confirmed as a terrorist attack. . . . shame on terrorists , what do you get in killing innocent people, i know what happens when some near dear one or a family member leaves you, more of the shocking news was that the policitcal party BJP has started making on vote bank and making terrorist attacks their sgaenda aginst congress . . . . .shame on u ppl . . . . at the time when people need help you are looking for vote bank, "bhajpa ko laaiye aatankwaad ko bhagaiye" well if their is any medicine thru which terrorism can be finished please serve the humanity by giving that medicine, not that its a barter system you need something then opnly you will give something . . . . .

though a unique idea hope it kicks off. . . . .

but for that s/w u will have to buy service packs adn blah blah . . that s/w will have loop holes and all . . . .

The concept is interesting to say the least; a triple-flip 3G smartphone with a touchscreen, full QWERTY keypad and third function panel that can flip to face downward beneath the keypad and double as a gaming controller. Whether or not we’ll ever see it in production however, remains to be seen. A company by the name of The Medical Phone Ltd have begun showing off this unique contraption and claim that it is currently in production, though there was no working demo shown off at a recent expo it attended. As the company’s name might suggest, the handset began as a concept for a survival-based device that would pack a full first-aid guide and various other functionality. Of course this niche marketing would drastically limit the device so it has been fanned out a bit though it still has some interesting emergeny features such as a one-touch emergency button that phones 911, the closest hospital and your doctor simultaneously. It also actives the integrated GPS so you can be found, assuming whoever it contacts has some sort of device equipped to communication with the IcePhone.

TOKYO: will buy a stake of about 26 per cent in Tata Teleservices Ltd for 260 billion Wi-fi wireless networks yen ($2.7 billion), Japanese business daily the Nikkei Wi-fi wireless networks reported on Wednesday. The deal would add to a record value of overseas acquisitions by Japanese firms this year as companies increasingly snap up competitors abroad, taking advantage of tumbling global stock markets and the yen's recent surge. Company sources said in September DoCoMo was in talks to buy a stake in Tata, part of the Tata Group conglomerate and parent of Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Ltd. It would be the latest of a series of overseas acquisitions by DoCoMo and follows $350 million investment in Bangladesh's No.3 cellphone carrier. Shinji Moriyuki, a telecoms analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, said DoCoMo's recent acquisitions in Asia would be positive for the company, especially with its extensive knowledge of third-generation network services to which many developing countries are now moving. "Many people have voiced concerns because of its overseas investment spree in the early 2000s and failures afterward, but business conditions are totally different now," Moriyuki said. "This time, the acquisition value should not be too large because of sluggish stock markets, it can count on growth in developing markets, and both parties (DoCoMo and Tata) should be able to find synergies because of the current timing that 3G services are about to be launched." DoCoMo spent nearly 1.9 trillion yen in the late 1990s and early 2000s to buy small stakes in operators around the world to promote use of its i-mode mobile Internet technology and ensure the adoption of 3G networks on the same W-CDMA standard that it uses. But it saw its investments sour, and pulled out of AT&T Wireless Services Inc, Dutch operator KPN Mobile N.V. and Hutchison 3G UK Holdings after incurring heavy losses. JAPAN FIRMS GOING ABROAD Acquisitions abroad by Japanese firms in 2008 already total almost $63 billion, according to Thomson Reuters data, and DoCoMo's Tata investment would come a day after Japanese chemical maker Mitsubishi Rayon announced a $1.6 billion acquisition of British rival Lucite International.

Tatas mull mobile handset foray with DoCoMo 15 Nov 2008, TNN MUMBAI: The Tatas, who stopped making fixed telephone instruments under the Tata Fone brand some years ago, plan a re-entry into the business by developing mobile handsets. Tatas will consider the feasibility of the project in collaboration with its new Japanese partner NTT DoCoMo, which has strong expertise in handset development besides managing next generation technologies. DoCoMo has an extensive lineup of lifestyle-focused handsets tailored for varying customer needs and preferences like waterproof models, kids' models with GPS tracking and handsets with wellness applications to monitor health and fitness. DoCoMo has struck a strategic alliance with Tata Teleservices, including buying a 26% stake in Tata Tele. The co-operation between the two wireless carriers is being extended across marketing, handset development and technical support services. " We will leverage DoCo-Mo's handset designing capabilities and work closely to bring out both high- and lowend models for our customers,'' said a Tata Tele executive. NTT DoCoMo president and CEO Ryuji Yamada said, ‘‘ The company is establishing a task force comprising its directors and technology experts to work on different areas with our Indian partner.'' Another Tata Tele official said, ‘‘ Given that the alliance has just been formed the business model would evolve over a period of time.'' Currently Tata group company DriveIndia .com procures and sells CDMA handsets from manufacturers like Samsung, Nokia, Huawei and Haeir. Tata Tele focuses only on providing mobile services, while group firm Tata Business Support Services handles customer queries and interactions for Tata Indicom and Virgin mobile. ‘‘ With DoCo-Mo as partner, the branding architecture could change,'' said the Tata official.

Tata Tele to raise data revenues after DoCoMo deal 14 Nov 2008, 1740 hrs IST, REUTERS MUMBAI: Tata Teleservices expects to earn more revenues from data services as it taps into the experience of its new stakeholder, Japan's NTT DoCoMo, its managing director said on Friday. About 11 per cent of Tata Teleservices revenue come from data, higher than the industry average of 8 percent in India but well below DoCoMo's share of about 40 per cent, executives said. "We will also bring in advanced value-added services which the Indian market has never seen before," Managing Director Anil Sardana told a media briefing on Friday. Japan's largest mobile operator on Wednesday agreed to pay $2.7 billion for a 26 per cent stake in Tata Teleservices, India's sixth-largest operator. DoCoMo Chief Executive Ryuji Yamada said that there were no immediate plans to further increase the stake. "We have agreed to buy 26 per cent in Tata Teleservices. We have no intention to raise our stake beyond this for the time being," he said. Tata Tele provides services on the CDMA platform, and is launching services on the more popular GSM platform from January. India is the world's second-biggest mobile market, and the fastest growing. More than 10 million users signed up in September, taking total subscribers to 315.3 million, of which 233.7 million were on the GSM platform. The deal comes ahead of India's auction of 3G spectrum, a technology of which that DoCoMo has extensive experience. It also follows a $350 million investment in a Bangladesh telecom by DoCoMo, and the company is confident its foreign buys will be more successful than a spree in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when its investments soured and it incurred heavy losses. "Certainly we have made some mistakes in our investments in the past. But it was a deliberate investment this time," Masatoshi Suzuki, senior executive vice-president and a member of the board of directors of NTT DoCoMo, told reporters. "We are strongly determined not to repeat the mistake of past investments," he added. Tata Teleservices will issue new equity as part of the deal. The unlisted telecom is part of the sprawling Tata Group, and group firms own about 80 per cent of it. Temasek owns about 10 per cent of the firm, while investor C. Sivasankaran holds 8 per cent. Sardana declined to comment on whether group firms would sell their holdings. "There is a plan to issue fresh equity. The details of it are being worked out," Sardana said. As part of the deal, DoCoMo and Tata Sons, the Tata Group holding company, will make an open offer in January for up to 20 percent of the shares of Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) the listed unit of Tata Tele, at Rs 24.70. On Friday, shares in Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) rose 12.2 per cent to Rs 20.19, their strongest close since October 3 in a Mumbai market that fell 1.6 per cent.

Tata Tele-Docomo deal over priced: Analysts [vIa:ET Bureau] MUMBAI: Even before the ink on the dotted line has dried, analysis has begun on Wi-fi wireless networks valuations of the Tata-DoCoMo deal. The verdict - the deal is over priced. With the valuations of Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTSL), India's sixth largest operator pegged at $10 billion, analysts say it equals the present market cap of the second largest mobile operator, Reliance Communications. This valuation, the markets feel, is overpriced, considering the relatively small scale of operations TTSL has compared to the big daddies of Indian telecom. Japanese mobile operator NTT DoCoMo picked up 26 per cent stake in TTSL at around Rs 13,070 crore ($2.7 billion). TTSL, which holds around 38 per cent in Tata Teleservices Maharashtra Ltd (TTML), is the sixth largest service provider with a market share of 9.3 per cent. “Prima facie, the price looks exorbitant with $10 billion valuation, the present market cap of second largest operator RCom. For an operator having only 30 million subscribers, this valuation is too high,” said Harit Shah, analyst at Angel Broking. In fact, the market cap of Reliance Communications stands at around Rs 45,000 crore, which has the largest CDMA subscriber base in the country of 47 million. In TTSL, Temasek & C Sivasankaran also hold 9.9 per cent and 8 per cent equity, respectively. Sivasankaran bought the stake for Rs 1,200 crore from Tata Sons in March 2006, while Temasek paid around Rs 1,500 crore to Tata Sons, which holds 37.65 per cent stake in Tata Tele Maharashtra, the listed entity of TTSL. In comparison to the stake bought by Temasek in 2006, analysts said that DoCoMo has paid three times more for the 26 per cent stake. However, they state that with 3G auctions in India likely to start in January next year, for DoCoMo to get a foothold in Indian telecom market at this juncture is crucial irrespective of the high valuation. “It may seem high but with 3G spectrum under consideration, DoCoMo stands to gain given its exposure to 3G services worldwide,” remarked Romal Shetty, executive director, telecom, KPMG. NTT DoCoMo is Japan’s largest mobile operator which launched its 3G services on the WCDMA platform as early as 2001. DoCoMo said that both the companies will leverage each other strengths and will derive significant upside from TTSL's GSM service which will be launched early next year in 20 telecom circles. Shetty added that DoCoMo was always eyeing small operators like TTSL and Idea, without which it would be difficult for the Japanese service provider to make an entry into the fastest growing mobile market on the planet. And for TTSL, the deal enables it to access resources for their planned expansion. “For TTSL, it's a good deal as it will help the company in its rollout of GSM plans. The additional money will help meet the capex plans of $2 billion,” an analyst from Khandwal Securities said.

@mufaddal sahab please dont copy and paste the matter . . please post it with proper formatting so that it can mean some thing not rubbish! . . . better formatting makes easy understanding please dont mind,

Well, what do we have here? It seems as if it’s a never before seen Nokia handset! We don’t have a name to call it other than the internal codename, “Wahoo,” but what we can do is recap some of the specs of the device for you… Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850MHz/1900MHz) There’s two displays, one internal and one external. They sizes are 2.2″ with a 240×320 resolution, and 1.36″ with a 128×160 resolution respectively 2.0 megapixel camera with flash Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP Four hours of UMTS talk time Sadly a 2.5mm headset jack We don’t have a release date for you yet, but our ninja has confirmed to us (as if the UMTS radio bands didn’t give it away) that this Nokia phone will definitely be hitting AT&T. The form-factor is actually pretty similar to the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, with a half-QWERTY clamshell design. The specs aren’t incredible, but hey, we think any Nokia fans on AT&T will take what they can get… Larger shot with more specs after the break!

iPhone 2.2 screenshots reveal direct podcast download interface A series of screenshots from Apple's latest iPhone 2.2 beta have leaked on the web, revealing a new interface for downloading podcasts over wireless networks and a more polished version of the handset's App Store application. Direct Podcast Downloads The screenshots, published by the German-langue blog Flo's Weblog, appear to confirm reports that the next software update for the iPhone will allow users to grab podcasts from the mobile iTunes Store over the handset's 3G connection. A report published late last month had suggested this would be the case, but the feature was said to be non-functional at the time. The series of screenshots, republished below, reveals the interface flow for direct podcast downloads. According to the report, Apple will initially limit direct downloads to podcasts 10MB in size or less. It's unclear, however, whether the feature will be restricted to iPhones on a 3G connection or if downloads can also be performed over an EDGE network. App Store Categories In addition, the same report tosses in a screen captures that reveals upcoming interface change to the App Store application that's expected to ship as part of iPhone Software 2.2. Unlike builds of the software available in September, the latest betas reveal the new icons Apple may have chosen to use for its category listing (though they appear to be icons for third-party Apps at present). Previously, blank placeholders would display. A general list of feature additions are as follows: --Safari interface tweaks with relocated Google search --New App Store app with new categories interface, and "report a problem" feature --Auto-correction toggle and Japanese Emoji icons --Google Street View, transit and walking directions --Direct podcast downloads

Court notice to government on spectrum allocation NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued notice to the central government on a petition challenging its first come-first serve procedure adopted in spectrum allocation. A bench comprising Chief Justice Ajit Prakash Shah and Justice S Muralidhar asked the government to file its response within three weeks and posted the matter to Dec 10, the next date of hearing. The petition had challenged the government's policy of allocating 2G spectrum and alleged it had caused a loss of millions of rupees to the exchequer. Arvind Gupta, the petitioner, alleged that the procedure followed by the government was non-transparent, and was intended for the benefit of some private players in the telecom industry. Gupta also referred to an earlier judgement of the High Court delivered in 1993 by which the court had said that first come-first serve policy is unreasonable and unfair. He questioned the government's intention of not following a competitive bidding procedure. "The proximity of real estate developers to corridors of the department of telecom has enabled even real estate developers to overnight turn into telecom entrepreneurs. Indian real estate developers and infrastructure promoters have also become Indian telecom players," Gupta alleged in his petition [vIa: ET]

well yes raccoon , sadikk is saying true! . . . .please either edit or delete the post . . .

The future of Fennec may make it a serious mobile browser contender The mobile browser wars are on. The competition is between Opera, Mobile IE, Safari, Chrome, and the Blackberry Browser. So far, even iPhone haters would agree, Safari has yet to be touched. It only makes sense that one of the most popular browsers out there, Firefox, and their creator, Mozilla, would want to jump in on the mobile browser battle. A few weeks ago, Fennec, Mozilla’s upcoming mobile browser, was released to some beta testers but was only available for the Nokia N810 Internet tablet. While the programmers testing it out found a lot of bugs, they also felt there is a lot of promise for Mozilla’s latest browser offering. Jay Sullivan, vice president of the mobile division at Mozilla, says the reports from testers were positive and that JavaScript performance was on par with the browsers on Android and the iPhone’s Safari. If anyone knows how to make a browser powerful, but user-friendly, it’s Mozilla. Fennec is going to be no different in terms of their end goal for the mobile browser. First, they intend to use every last bit of screen real-estate to the browser, removing all controls, tabs, and buttons that would take away from the body of the page. Sullivan says they want to “give over the entire screen of the device to the Web content, removing all user-interface controls entirely.” How will a user navigate, you ask? Certain screen controls and finger swipes (for touchscreens) will activate the UI controls in a snap. If that isn’t cool enough for you, future versions may also include support for haptic feedback. While this is all cool and snazzy, Fennec has its work cut out because the others (Safari, Opera, Blackberry, Symbian) have established themselves and are still making progress.
