I have somebody coming over from US and can buy this bluetooth handsfree. I don't care for the size but quality of voice should be good. Is this a good handset for the purpose? Anybody having used this handset or have some other suggestions in handsets with noise cancellation technology (Dual mic), Please share. Review CNET It is available at Amazon for $45. Amazon --Thanks

Thanks. Will check local markets here in Bangalore. SP Road and National market etc. Guys any ideas about a trusted local grey market dealer? I am not sure if it would be available with bill etc. I am bit hesitant to buy from gray market unless the seller is recommended.

I have ported one of my Reliance CDMA to Reliance GSM. Reason for porting: Wanted to move to GSM. Have a Relaince free on net plan so moved to Reliance GSM. Gave application on Feb 21. The number got activated today.

I meant it should not be built in into the Laptops. One can always use a external Optical Drive (if needed). Macbooks and top of the line HP laptops already do that and so do the netbooks.

The optical drive should be phased out. t takes a lot of valuable space on laptop without adding much value. In my last of couple of laptops I have used it only to Install OS and Now a days one can install the OS from a USB flash drive. I

Hope the launch some cheap STD tariifs.

Google to merge smartphone and tablet versions of Android Google has promised Android updates will arrive every six months, with the next full version bringing together the best of the smartphone and tablet editions. The Android roadmap was laid out by Google's executive chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt, who was delivering a keynote speech at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Regarding the follow up to Gingerbread (version 2.3 of Android) and the tablet-focused Honeycomb (version 3), Schmidt said: "you can imagine the follow up will start with an I, be named after dessert, and will combine these two." That version is expected to be called "ice-cream sandwich". Schmidt also showed off a new video-editing app called Movie Studio for Honeycomb tablets. Schmidt said Chrome OS devices will start to appear on the market soon. "You will see sometime in the spring hardware manufacturers will start delivering," he said. Google said at the launch of the netbook-oriented Chrome OS last year that devices would hit shelves by this summer. Where's Larry? One member of the MWC audience asked why Larry Page, Schmidt's replacement as CEO, wasn't delivering the speech. Schmidt said it was "part of the deal" that sees Page take over as CEO and Schmidt stick around as "executive chairman." "Larry said, 'Eric you get to fly around more'. He’s extremely happy that I’m here," Schmidt said. "Larry’s probably asleep at the moment, but if he’s up, he’s busy working, at his desk." Schmidt was also asked about the deal between Microsoft and Nokia, and admitted Google failed to convince the latter to use Android as its main mobile platform. “We would have loved it had [Nokia] chosen Android; the offer's still open," he said. "We certainly tried.” Source : PCPRO

I am very glad to hear that. As long as people like you exist, We still have hope for human race.

Finally Something which comes to close to Reliance on-net 440 plan if the usage is around 2500 minutes. Do they have a similar postpaid plan?

Still not rolled out for my account .Is is USA only for now?

Wish PC processor market was this competitive.

awesome!! Google keeps on innovating. I am so dependent on Gmail that any add on security is Welcome. I would even pay for this kind of feature.

This is like two very sick patients coming together.

stuck at 442

Bought the Panasonic Lumix LX5 premium Point and shoot camera. I absolutely love the 24 mm Leica lens and the large size sensor. Got it from US for $400. Dpreview Review

Way to go Android!! Thanks for sharing.

This is hilarious. Let us see who wins!!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info. Just one more question. Is the scanner independent of printer i.e. Will the scanner still work if say printer part has some issue?

Wow!! that is really exhaustive list.

How can they call a plan "broadband" if the speed after FUP (fair usage policy) limit is 256 Kbps? As per TRAI definition the minimum speed for broadband is 512 Kbps (from Jan 1, 2011). Thanks for sharing.

Rajan Bhai, 1) Where did you buy it? Online or from the market. 2) Does it take refilled cartridge? I know you said original cartridge is relatively cheap. Still would like to know.

Great info. Thanks for sharing.

Does this handset support simultaneous CDMA and GSM or one at a time?

I have two from WD and both are doing very good. I got it from US so not sure if it is available in India.
