Mozilla version 2.0.0.6 is not that fast it does take a bit longer now to load up but still its faster than safari beta 3.0.3

Skype comes to the iPhone Instant messaging wish granted iPhone fans are set have their wish granted, with the news that a German firm has developed an application that brings Skype functionality to the device. One of the complaints that users of the hybrid phone and MP3 player had was relating to its instant messaging functionality, or lack thereof. German firm Shape Media has stepped in to fill the gap. The application, dubbed "IM+ for Skype", transforms the iPhone into a Skype handset. The web application, which works through the iPhone's Safari web browser, allows iPhones to use the Skype messaging service along with its Voice over IP (VoIP) network. By logging on to skypeforiphone.com, users can access their Skype account, allowing them to make free Skype to Skype calls, and use their SkypeOut credits to make calls to landlines and mobile phones around the world. According to Shape Media, the application will work across different networks and does not require Wi-Fi to operate. The application was designed for use with the iPhone's touchscreen, and has the added benefit of offering more cost-effective call charges than many carriers, for both landline and mobile calls - domestic and overseas. Similar software has already been developed for platforms such as Windows Mobile, RIM's Blackberry, Palm and Symbian devices. Source - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/16/skype_on_iphone/

Sony Ericsson’s new K770 Cyber-shot™ phone, announced today, is a digital camera, a photo album and an elegant phone all in-one. Still a phone first and foremost, it allows you to send and share your photos as soon as you’ve taken them. At just 14.5mm slim and finished in a fashionable Truffle Brown, the K770 can take pictures as good as a standalone digital camera; pictures can be printed up to A4 size. The camera can also be used for video and comes with a powerful photo light for indoor photo-taking and filming. As with all Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot™ phones, ‘ease of use’ sits at the heart of the experience. To take a picture, just slide open the lens cover, find your subject and shoot. “The best moments in life always seem to happen when you don’t have a camera,” says Helene Barnekow, Head of Central Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “If you like the idea of having a snapshot camera on your phone, and want shots that look good in your family album, then the K770 is perfect.” Barnekow continues, “The real beauty of the K770 is that you can let your friends and family share your experiences. Once you’ve captured the moment, it’s easy to print the picture or upload it immediately to your personal on-line gallery.” Great results Capturing the perfect picture is easy with the K770 Cyber-shot™ phone. Just slide open the lens cover and you’re ready. Once in camera mode the 1.9inch screen becomes the viewfinder, the Cyber-shot™ based menu becomes visible and you’ll also see eight lit icons appear across the phones keypad. These serve as 1-click shortcuts to each of the camera’s key functions, such as picture size and photo light. If you take a spontaneous snapshot and the light conditions are poor, simply select Photo fix for PC-free photo editing on your phone. Shared instantly The most direct way to share your photos is perhaps through a slide show on the K770’s screen. When you want to show them to people that are not around, though, you can post your pictures to your own ‘blogsite’ or on-line gallery. Share the web site address to share your photos. If you want to transfer photos swiftly from the K770 Cyber-shot™ phone to your PC or laptop, then simply use the USB Cable provided in-box to drag and drop them from one to the other. Alternatively, if you prefer to print your pictures, the 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus delivers picture quality that is good enough to print your photo out at upto A4 size (297mm x 210 mm). You can even connect your K770 direct to a printer using PictBridge™ for PC-free printing. Expect more The K770 is about much more than just camera features. Supporting Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™), the K770 comes with a 256 MB memory card that lets you store up to 200 photos of the best quality. Peruse your photo album whilst listening to your favorite music tracks on the in-built media player. Or tune in to the FM radio with RDS that seeks out clear reception when you’re on-the-move. With all of this music at your fingertips, it’s worth investing in a Stereo Bluetooth Headset that will stream music wirelessly from your phone and let you enjoy your favorite songs hands-free. The Stereo Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-DS200 can be auto-paired with the K770 and offers up to 6 hours of talktime or music listening time. The K770 Cyber-shot™ phone is all about understated style. It’s a discreet, grown-up looking phone that slips neatly into your pocket or bag. Yet when you need it there is a digital camera on-board that can give results as good as you expect from a digital camera. The K770 is a GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 phone that will be available in Truffle Brown in selected markets from autumn 2007.

Dude i have posted this under GSM/CDMA mobile network & handset discussion i cant post this under Nokia CDMA section as this is a GSM handset only other option is this could be moved to Other handsets category This handset is gonna be available in select countries(Europe & USA) so whats the scoop in it .. its not as if this is a fake news Another thing LG wimax enabled mobile is not scheduled to be associated with RIM or for that matter is not even slated to be released in India in even near future than u r saying that news also i should have not posted come on man give me a break. I dont think i have posted in the wrong section abt Nokia 7900 & 7500 Prism still if the moderator thinks he can either close this or move the topic to another section. @Moderator move this to Other handset category if you feel thats the right section for this news

LG has managed to beat out many of the other big names in the phone biz by announcing the first Wimax compatible mobile, the LG KC1. This Windows Mobile runs on a 5.0 OS but I’m sure that will change considering 6.0 is already out. It has a 2.8 inch touch screen sporting 65K colors. The KC1 also has 2 megapixel camera and supports Bluetooth with an A2DP profile as well. It also has an external memory card slot for microSD cards and comes equipped with 128 ROM and 64MB RAM. Unfortunately we have no idea when the model will be out nor what its price is going to be. Source - http://www.tech2.com/india/news/smart-mobi...-mobile/11372/0

@Hetal Smart investments in broadband there have paid off in the form of a hyperconnected society -- here's how we can start reaping the benefits. A lot of factors have contributed to Korea having the highest penetration in the world in internet connectivity Ninety percent of the country has blazingly fast, 3-megabits-per-second broadband at home, and similarly high-speed wireless connections on the road. The telecom market in Korea is fiercely competitive, and broadband service costs the consumer less than $20 a month. There are 20,000 PC baangs, or Internet cafes, where you can rent a superfast machine for $1 an hour. Online gaming has become a way of life, with nearly 3,000 South Korean videogame companies boasting combined revenues of up to $4 billion. As a result, South Korea has become the world's best laboratory for broadband services - and a place to look to for answers on how the Internet business may evolve. Smart bet on broadband How did this come about? In 1995, the South Korean government made what must rank as one of the most shrewd and far-sighted investments in business history. It spent big on a nationwide high-capacity broadband network that any telecom operator could offer service on, and offered subsidies so that 45 million Koreans could buy cheap PC's. Cost: a mere $1.5 billion. Fast-forward 11 years: Korea is now the most connected and Net-addicted country on Earth. There are a few American companies who have benefited from the South Korean broadband boom: Blizzard, for example, makes a popular online game called Starcraft which is so widely played in South Korea that two TV channels broadcast Starcraft matches between professional players. But the most popular services are homegrown. Cyworld, for example, is a social network owned by a subsidiary of SK Telecom, the country's largest wireless provider. To an American eye, the Cyworld service looks like a mixture of some of the hottest US properties: it's MySpace meets Flickr and Blogger and AIM and Second Life. Users have avatars that visit and can link to each other's "minihompy" - a miniature homepage that's actually a 3-D room containing a users' blog, photos, and virtual items for sale. Cyworld's digital garage sales include music, ringtones, clothes for your avatar and furnishings for your own minihompy. Cyworld has penetration rates that would make Rupert Murdoch, CEO of MySpace parent News Corp. (Research), green with envy: An astonishing 90 percent of South Koreans in their 20s use the service. Celebrities and politicians set up their own minihompies, and the way to get ahead in twentysomething Korean society is to found a popular Cyworld club, or chat room. Printing money Most importantly, Cyworld is a license to print money. The service itself is free (and available on cellphones as well as online), but to buy all the extras - like ringtones and virtual furnishings - will cost you "acorns," the service's virtual currency. Cyworld sells its users $300,000 in acorns every single day. With such a proven revenue stream, Cyworld is expanding fast. It launched in China and Japan last year, and a US launch is slated for later this year. Some might dismiss it as a Korean novelty, but all of Cyworld's elements, individually, have been successful on these shores. And teens and twentysomethings who use social networks tend not to have much brand loyalty to one service if another offers cooler features. SK Telecom's ace in the hole is its experience with running a social network on mobile devices. "Every social network is going to have to have a mobile component over the next year," predicts Jill Aldort, an analyst at Yankee Group. "It gives more stickiness to the service. There's going to be a social networking fatigue factor - users need novelty. And Cyworld clearly has more functionality than MySpace." Whether or not Cyworld succeeds in the U.S., South Korea is going to continue aggressively targeting American Internet users. Its government has set a target of $1 billion a year in online game exports by 2007. NCSoft, the company that runs Korea's most popular multiplayer online role-playing game, Lineage, has found a string of successes in the U.S. by learning quickly what Americans love: its City of Heroes and City of Villains online games were both number one hits here. Lost in translation? To be sure, there is much about South Korean culture that doesn't translate well. The country's love of cuteness is a little too saccharine for American tastes. And part of Cyworld's success can be chalked up to users' incessant message-swapping - not answering a missive from a friend with all due speed is considered a faux-pas in Korean society. There is a chance that the rise of broadband and the rise of online gaming will not be so interlinked on this side of the Pacific (though the runaway success of World of Warcraft suggests otherwise). There's a chance that US social networkers may prefer a stripped-down service with no avatars, bells or whistles. But don't forget that US wireless operators used to dismiss Japanese advances in mobile phones in much the same way. Do users really want to send text messages, watch video on their phones, or buy ringtones, they mused, or is that something peculiar to Japan? Well, as it turned out, they do, and companies that bet early on the notion that technology can cross cultural boundaries, like Sprint Nextel (Research) and Cingular, won out. So think twice before ignoring what's going on in Seoul. That shrewd government investment a decade ago may just have created a broadband hothouse that can give us a glimpse of the Internet culture's future. So this is what is the actual story of Korea is I would say this is how a country like ours can improve by drawing long term plans & implementing it at the same time with surgical precision.

Another high-end camera phone from Samsung seems to be under way. The Samsung G800 slider has a 5 megapixel auto focus camera with 3x optical zooom. Samsung G800 is recognizable for its stylish design and better camera integration with a dedicated camera button and xenon flash. The back of the phone includes elements, inherent to advanced camera bodies - a special leather-like cover ensuring better grip, as well as its lens and xenon flash comfortably covered by a stylish lens lid. The front panel grabs attention with its large display. The form factor is easily identifiable as a slider, but it might as well offer a touch-based user interface and no hardware keypad.Other features of the Samsung G800 include Bluetooth, USB support, 3G or HSDPA connectivity and stereo speakers. Although optical zoom enabled phones are not something new on the market as we have already witnessed the coming to light of Nokia N93, Nokia N93i, Sharp 902, Sharp 903 and Sharp 904, the Samsung G800 looks like quickly becoming a common favourite when it hits the shelves. This is expected to happen in the early months of 2008.

Come on Man !! LG and Samsung, two giants of consumer electronics are from Korea. What we have here just Onida and BPL which are unkown in the world. Where will the technology breed? In Korea or India..... You've an obvious answer..... I don't know why TATA, Reliance and Brilas are sleeping? Why can't we become electronics hub? What's lacking? Why hardware has to be done in Korea and China when software with which it operates is done in India? If both are done in India, Can't we achieve economy of colocation? Come on dude accept the fact that Korea has far better internet penetration than India( i think its the highest in world) they already have 3G there.. we r still here proposing abt it discussing abt it god knows when will 3G be implemented finally in India We all know in making Software India "rules" but in implementing new technology(hardware based) advanced technology India sleeps we r ages behind Korea. Accept it buddy India is atleast 5 years behind Korea & USA in adopting new superior technologies . No one in India is bothered abt it everyone in the Dept concerned is sleeping you can think abt this mobile coming to India in 2012 even thats quite generous thinking by me

badhiya naam hain the reason why i had to opt for a GSM connection along with my CDMA prepaid connection is bcoz reliance is really not going to offer any "classy" handsets instead they r offering too much of "CLASSIC" handsets

Registrations are open again right now for Demonoid anyone willing to join do it immediately

I saw motoMing and some other Linux based handset. Both were very reasonably priced and real good features. Now it really tempts me to switch over to GSM from CDMA. Day by day voice clarity and data speed in reliance is decreasing and also now prices are not as cheap as before. Also when phone goes off its real pain to get standby handset and eventually lands up spending much more on handset than GSM. Ya Motorola has got some great mobiles which r powered by Linux .. i am using my reliance cdma connection sparingly(i am on life time scheme ) & using Motorokr E6 for all my outgoing calls ... Motorokr E6 is powered by Lin OS

Great news Smart phone market is hotting up

Definitely technology is awesome in this mobile we dont have 3G here & in korea they will be using 4G shorlty Korea is even ahead of USA in having new technologies being implemented Hats off to Korea

some more pics of this amazing mobile with amazing technology i wish wimax is available asap all over india

Dude you can just dream abt this happening

If one needs another reminder of how far ahead Korea is in the cellphone space compared to us, here's the LG KC1. It's got WiBro support, which is 4G and lets the phone get Wi-Fi speeds pretty much anywhere. The fast speeds allow the phone to do stuff like remote PC control, streaming videos, video calls and other ridiculously high-bandwidth apps that you could only do over Wi-Fi before. As for features, it's got DMB for live TV, a 2-megapixel camera, 512MB flash, an audio/video player, microSD slot and the front camera for 3G video calling & windows mobile 5 In case you are wondering what is WiBro - It is the Korean name for mobile Wi-Max although it has a much shorter range at 1.5 kms per base station with an aggregate data throughput of 30 to 50 Mbit/s. The LG-KC1 will be available in Korea only for 700,000 KRW ($ 750)

u r welcome dheeraj

Demonoid registrations are open right now anyone willing to join do it immediately

ditto just the brand nokia is not enough to justify that this handset Nokia 1325 is good

Haha chinese classic not again

If you r a frequent traveler than Laptop is a must otherwise Desktop PC. keep in mind a desktop PC has a better life than a Laptop. For the internet connection u have many choices i would suggest Reliance & Tata Indicom based on my experience.
