Thats the joy of Android OS; no tears while changing phones. The BEAST revealed The Beast's Front - and the BACK - My Dock on the Way -

Most of us here at RIMweb are gadget freaks to varying degrees. Cutting edge tech products are the new aspiration as our basic needs now are fulfilled. (India Growing at 8% GDP Rate You Know!!). Buying , using, and most of the time just looking at Such gadgets and drooling gives a big sense of fulfillment to our sensory perception. So this is the thread for all such products. There is no single criteria or category. It can be tech marvels, funny tech things, new inventions for better quality of life. Something unique, Something out of the ordinary. This will be a great fun ride and will enrich everyone if India's best tech freaks (Ya!! RIMweb has lots of them ) participate and contribute. Starting here with few entries. ENJOY!!

Retinal Implant Successful in Bringing Vision to Blind Retina Implant AG out of Reutlingen, Germany is reporting the publication of a clinical study evaluating the company's subretinal electronic chips in totally blind volunteers. The device contains 1500 active microphotodiodes, each with "its own amplifier and local stimulation electrode." These then control the generation of electrical impulses going up to the brain representing a 38 × 40 pixel grid. Three people in this study, blind due to hereditary retinal degeneration, were implanted with the device that's 3mm in diameter. All three reported varying levels of vision and one of the subjects was even able to discern common objects like knives and forks laying on the table. Core of the implant is a microchip of approximately 3 mm in diameter and 50 μm thickness, with an array of roughly 1500 pixel fields. Each pixel measures 70 x 70 μm. Photocells, an amplifying circuit, and a stimulation electrode are attached to each pixel field. The photocells absorb the light entering the eye, transforming it into electrical signals. A tiny power line is providing energy from an external source behind the ear. Sixteen additional electrodes are placed for testing purposes at the tip of the implant. The strength of the light signals controls the amount of current released by each electrode, stimulating the neighboring intact retinal nerve cells electrically. The nerve impulses generated by the retinal cells are processed in the remaining neuronal network of the retina and transmitted via the optic nerve to the visual cortex, creating visual sensations. This is why an unimpaired, regularly functioning optic nerve is an unconditional requirement for the implants' operational reliability in any approach of a retinal implant.

PharmaJet introduces needle-free injectors How many times have you seen a friend or a relative with diabetes inject themselves with insulin subcutaneously? Overtime they may say they get use to the pain but that's only because they have no other choice but to bare it. What if there was a safer, needle-free way? PharmaJet offers just that. And it seems like PharmaJet has already been approved for use in the US for sometime. How it works is that the injector uses a new form of technology in which it delivers liquid medications at high speed, creating a "liquid jet" that penetrates the skin and delivers the medicine through the skin in less than 1/3 of a second. Doing exactly what patients today already do but without the needle. The great thing about PharmaJet is that it works as subcutaneous injector as well as intramuscular.

E Tomb The E-Tomb makes complete sense for people who spend endless hours tweeting, Facebook-ing and blogging. It's the kinda tombstone with Bluetooth and solar panels and stores your logs; friends and family can come over and access your virtual life from it and keep each other updated with anecdotes about you by uploading their stories to the tombstone. Sounds a bit spooky right now, but since RFID Tags for this are already popular, the next best thing has to be updates from the gave, and the world beyond!

it can be programmed on reliance cdma search around net and you will get the idea of how to do it

With the budget of 12k-max you can either get a BB or a mid range Android from this forum. Try and get a RIM registered set (*228 /HCC compatible), to avoid possible future hassles. If you are happy with Touch then prefer Android, otherwise go for BB. I have gone for the latter!
