"101 MB to 200 MB" on Reliance CDMA as it is 1x only and 95% of my usage is over wifi.

Tapatalk integration first and then new homepage; so not really sure about new home page tomorrow

Hoping to do tomorrow or by Monday unless something else drags me along (as I wanted to launch it a month ago actually)

The reason why the topic link appears there when you don't see a new post is when there are Unapproved posts (that need to be approved by a moderator). Anyway new homepage is going to be launched soon, so that should be history

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Business Wire India Mumbai -- Takes the lead in leveraging virtualization & management technologies to deliver cloud computing for large enterprises -- Offers ‘Pay as you go’ enterprise class IT infrastructure & reduced IT management hassle for SMBs -- Reliance Cloud Computing Services to target 35 million businesses In a move that combines the power of virtualization technology and cloud computing - Reliance Data Center (a part of Reliance Communications) today announced the launch of “Reliance Cloud Computing Services” - hosted infrastructure service for its customers, based on the Microsoft platform. With this, Reliance will provide enterprises and SMBs in India, access to a variety of enterprise scale IT solutions, applications and services on the pay as you go model. These include infrastructure services such as server hosting, data storage and archival, as well as business applications like e-mail, ERP, workflow automation, document management; IT monitoring and reporting, disaster recovery, firewall services and automatic security updates. Microsoft’s virtualization and management technologies will help Reliance reduce the input costs involved in providing these services. As a result, Reliance will be able to pass the cost benefits to its customers. Furthermore, with “Reliance Cloud Computing Services” available on the pay-as-you-go model, businesses (both large and small) will be able to address their technology requirements without bearing costs involved in procuring, deploying and maintaining additional IT resources. “Leveraging Microsoft’s cutting edge technologies, Reliance Data Center will deliver access to enterprise-class scalable, secure and reliable hosted IT infrastructure to help large, midsized and SMB companies leverage cloud computing technologies to drive business benefits. This is part of our long term vision to continuously provide the latest and best technology to our customers, so that they always enjoy a business edge against their competitors”, said Mr. George Varghese, President & Head, Enterprise Business, Reliance Communications. Today, 35 million business owners in India spend a mere 0.4 to 3 percent of their total revenues on IT. Despite increasing capacity and technology requirements - high upfront costs involved in procuring and deploying IT infrastructure, and overall need for cash flows has been cited as a deterrent to technology penetration, especially in case of SMBs in India. However, increasing awareness around the relevance and advantage of hosted solutions is changing this scenario. “Hosted IT offerings are a cost effective model for provisioning processes, applications and services while making IT management easier and more responsive to business needs. We believe businesses have matured in their IT strategies and are now ready to explore hosted infrastructure as an option not only for short term scalability needs but also longer term requirements”, added Mr. Varghese. In fact, according to a recent Gartner report - technology adopters are expected to purchase 40% of their IT infrastructure “as a service” by 2011. Mr. Rajan Anandan – Managing Director, Microsoft India said, “We believe that the world of technology will never be only-cloud or only in-premise. The best customer value will be delivered as a combination, and Reliance Communications represents this. By combining the best of software with the best of cloud-based services, Microsoft can deliver more compelling solutions for businesses of all sizes. Today, Microsoft is delighted to empower Reliance with the ability to offer an innovative and affordable business solution for their customers.” Using Microsoft’s Dynamic Data Centre toolkit (an end-to-end guidance for leveraging virtualization infrastructure of Windows Server 2008 R2/ Hyper-V coupled with System Center to create managed services and partner hosted cloud offerings), Reliance is taking the lead in making cloud computing a reality for businesses in India. “Thanks to Microsoft, we can cut down on server sprawl and related capital costs across Reliance data centers – and are geared up to deliver what is arguably India’s largest cloud infrastructure today”, added Mr. Varghese. “Microsoft’s virtualization and management technologies deliver one of the highest return on investment in the market today. Reliance is betting on Microsoft to deliver the power of cloud computing to customers in India, and this is a true testament to the strong value that Microsoft can deliver”, added Mr. Anandan. ‘Reliance Cloud Computing Services’, targeted towards SMB as well as enterprise customers will essentially involve creation of a central computing + data storage IT infrastructure at the data centre, and then offering the same to multiple end customers as a standardized packaged offerings, accessible through public Internet, on a shared / virtual, pay on usage model. Various software applications (including mailing, sales force automation, HR automation, logistics, supply chain, ERP, document management, work flow automation, billing, CRM) and underlying IT infrastructure like server computing, data storage and retrieval, disaster recovery, application development platforms and security tools will be offered by us under this banner. The benefits to end customers will include cost reduction, cash flow improvement, pay per use (instead of upfront capex), better time to market, high quality managed services at fraction of cost, 24*7 accessibility from anywhere in the world, no need for high end IT skill sets, unlimited scalability, focus on their core business and hence essentially peace of mind.

Does it allow posting? Is there similar one for Android and Nokia?

This is how it opens in my friend's iPhone 4:

As it is not a free app I don't think many will use it. Afterall it adds a javascript which will add to the total page size and Google weighs the page size as one of the factor to determine rankings these days. If it was a free app then it would have been worth even if the javascript had to be added as many would use it. IP.Board app for iPhone is already available and Android app is due next which will have all features for free.

How many here has the pro version of the app?

What are the restrictions in the Basic app for iPhone/Android vs the Pro app?

yeah those are the real pesky ones that needs to be stopped. From the article... so it is likely that those SMS will be covered with the new guidelines.

The Hindu Monday, November 01, 2010 Finally, India will see introduction of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) service — which allows a person to change his telecom operator while retaining his number — from November 25. “The launch of MNP services will start from Haryana licensed service area (telecom circle) on November 25, 2010,” the Department of Telecom (DOT) said in a statement on Sunday. Pointing out that the introduction of MNP required upgrading the network and various other resources of service providers, the DoT said the networks were now technically ready for the launch of service. “To facilitate an orderly and reliable introduction of MNP services, a suitable migration plan has been evolved in consultation with mobile service providers,” it added. Notably, Communications and Information Technology Minister A. Raja announced the new date of introduction of the MNP facility. So far, the DoT has missed three deadlines as neither the service providers nor the companies selected to deal with the service are ready with technical upgradation of the network and other telecom paraphernalia across various telecom circles. But from November 25, mobile subscribers of the Haryana circle will have the option of changing their service provider without changing their mobile numbers. Gradually, the service would be made available in all 22 telecom circles in a phased manner for which the DoT will soon issue a detailed schedule. A mammoth task When contacted, Minister of State for Communications and Information and Technology Sachin Pilot said though there had been some delay in the launch of the service, it had been ensured that the service was provided to all subscribers sans any technical glitches. Keeping in mind the number of subscribers being added every month and rapid expansion of the telecom network, implementing the MNP was a mammoth task. “The MNP will make the mobile sector more competitive as companies will be forced to upgrade and improve their services leading to more benefits for customers in terms of both quality of service and its cost-effectiveness,” Mr. Pilot said. Due to the vast scale of the project, the DoT has divided 22 circles into two geographic zones. Each zone is further divided into 11 service areas that represent cities within the zone.

How would SMS related agreements work post MNP? Twitter has a tied up AirTel, Reliance and Videocon in India for receiving tweets as SMS for free. So if a Reliance customer switches to MTS after MNP, would he still be receiving the SMS alerts from Twitter (as number remains same)? If it does then won't the agreement between Twitter and Reliance be meaningless?

Mumbai June 23, 2010, 0:47 IST Business Standard Reliance Communications (RCom) is in talks with Hyderabad-based Altruist Technologies to create an open source network to allow its 105 million wireless subscribers (GSM and CDMA networks) to create their own content for mobile devices. Initially, RCom users will be able to create their own caller tunes and ringtones by uploading the content through RCom’s web interface. The technology developed by Altruist will enable the customer content to be edited, linked and activated on the user’s mobile connection. RCom sees major utilisation of this technology to expand its caller tune and ringtone catalogue. It currently acquires its musical content through licensing agreements with various content providers in India and abroad. It has a vast music library, with over 350,000 caller tunes and ringtones. This alliance will allow RCom to acquire user-generated mobile content on a large scale without investing in content acquisition costs. When asked, an RCom spokesperson confirmed the company was finalising an alliance with Altruist but declined to give details. RCom, confirmed sources from within the company, is expected to save nearly 15 per cent in content acquisition costs on an annualised basis and expects over 100,000 customers to use this service every month. By the end of the current financial year, the company expects over a million users across its CDMA and GSM networks, where the critical adoption would come from Tier-II and Tier-III towns, with a revenue upside of over Rs 250 crore over the next five years. Altruist will create a technological bandwidth to be deployed across GSM and CDMA networks and will be integrated with RCom’s pan-India telecom backbone. Sources said Altruist raced ahead of China’s Huawei Technologies, believed to also be in the contest for this alliance. Analysts estimate the alliance to be valued at around Rs 300 crore. This move, analysts believe, is in line with RCom’s overall business strategy to create unique and innovative services. Over the past few months, the company has offered value-added services such as SMS-based novels, mobile commerce transactions through a strategic tie-up with Atom Technologies, live streaming of cricket matches on mobiles, Antakshari services on mobiles and a blue-collar job search service.

Unrevoked dev team has tweeted that a fix for rooting post new OTA update will be available very soon as its almost ready.

The validated email address of the member is indeed an official email address. If you do a bit of Googling you will notice that they have posted the same message in several complaint forums/boards/blogs whenever someone posts a complaint about Reliance's service. They must be using it as an online PR for showing those who are reading the complaints that they do care. I have put a hold on the account as the robotic replies are just a waste.

You can use any bandwidth meter like DUMeter
