Exclusive: Apple iPad 2 Coming To India Next Week, Starts at Rs 27,900 Source Tired of being quoted Rs 60k for the iPad 2 in India? Well not for long! We suspected! and a trusted source just confirms that the Apple iPad 2 is coming to India next week! It is expected to launch via Vijay Sales, Croma and Reliance iStores. Yesterday we heard Apple COO, Tim Cook talking about the success of the device and 13 more countries getting the iPad 2 in a weeks time, luckily India figures on the list. Apple was criticized badly for delaying the launch of the iPad 1 in India (it launched in Jan 2011), but it seems that they are making up with the iPad 2. The pricing as we guessed yesterday would be the same as the iPad 1, starting at Rs 27900 for the 16GB WiFi version and going up to Rs 44,900 for the 64GB 3G+WiFi version. Stay tuned!

Pesky calls may continue for at least another one year: TRAI 24 Apr, 2011, 09.03PM Economic Times NEW DELHI: The menace of pesky calls is likely to continue for another year at least as state-run BSNL has said that it will take 10 months after getting necessary approval to upgrade its network-- vital to implement TRAI's idea of identifiable number series to tele-marketing firms. BSNL's upgrade of its network is essential as all calls are inter-connected irrespective of their origin and end. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) in its regulation to put a check on unsolicited calls and SMSes has directed telecom service providers to allocate easily identifiable number series for tele-marketing companies. On a request from TRAI, the Department of Telecommunication has issued a number series starting with '140' to tele-marketing companies for mobile phone numbers but not for landline connections. Adding three digit series to landline numbers will take total digits to 13. And to transmit a 13-digit number to telecom network, especially for caller line identification, BSNL and MTNL need to install modern equipment in exchanges. "Private companies have said that they can upgrade their network in few weeks time but BSNL and MTNL will need time as government rule mandates them to procure equipment for upgrading network through tenders," DoT official said who did not wished to be named told PTI. "BSNL has said that it will need at least 10 month time for this after government approval to meet all the requirement of TRAI's regulation," the official added. BSNL has more than 38,000 telephone exchanges for landline connections throughout the country. According to the DoT official, almost all of these exchanges need to be upgraded to handle transmission of 13-digit number series. BSNL officials denied to comment on the issue saying that new chairman and managing director of the company is likely to be appointed within a week and hence no one from company can comment on the issue. Service providers have mentioned that mobile phone network alone cannot handle load of telephone calls that tele-marketers make and hence allocation of landline phone is must for running their business and prevent mobile network from congestion. Telecom operators a in meeting held with DoT on April 13 have said that TRAI did not consult them on issues related identifiable landline number series before coming up with its regulation. "Telecom operators have said they were not consulted on landline issue by TRAI. They have expressed their inability to provide only mobile resources for the operations of tele-marketing companies as they make large number of calls, which may choke their network," DoT official said. Queries send to TRAI Chairman JS Sarma on this issue received no response.

Won't suggest Onida. Reviews are so, so, not very encouraging. Review here http://tech2.in.com/.../158662/0#story As Dkji also said, my first preference is for Toshiba and then AOC. If your friend now wants LED only, Toshiba has a 24" LED Model in the new Power TV Range - 24PS1 MRP Rs 20,490. If LED thing is not essential (Which should not be considering the absolute unbelievable value this thing provides), there was one AOC 32" Full HD Model AOC L32 DK99FU at just Rs 18,990 listed here http://www.rimweb.in...post__p__212585 It should be available now also.

Good Topic. +1 Naaptol begun as a Price comparison engine. Later decided to jump into Selling also. Problem with it is that it does not sell directly & don't stock the items but procures from hundreds of sellers registered there. Most of sellers there are typical Brick & Mortar Shop Sellers looking for some additional sales. But sales at Naaptol currently constitute a very miniscule portion of their total sales. So it's more of an amazement activity for them rather than serious selling unlike Ebay, where many sellers are specialist online sellers only. And unlike Ebay, Naaptol don't have good protection policies or proper selling structure with vendors. So in the event a seller don't honour the deal, they pretty much can't do anything except turn the tables on final customer which is what must have happenned with you.
