What are you upto? First you said your budget is only 4000-5000. When i replied that even Atom PC is not possible in that budget, You said your budget is 7000-8000 and asked for an Atom PC Configuration which was duly given with all details by me. Now you are saying what about Dual Core 2.6 Processor? What about it? I do not understand. Understand that good amount of time is wasted by members at RIMWEB including myself in giving such free advice. If you cannot appreciate that, atleast do not have such fluctuating responses. Be clear about your requirement and someone will help you. Merely because this is a forum where free advice is available, you cannot treat it like this. Otherwise next time no one will help you.

Intel D410PT board + ATOM 1.6 GHz 3025 DDR2 800 Mhz 1 GB RAM 1200 Seagate 500 GB HDD 1900 iBall NetTop 009 Mini Cabinet for ATOM 1450 DVD Writer 1100 Logitech Keyboard+Optical Mouse 625 TOTAL 9300 Monitor Cost Extra. If you are really not constrained for budget to this extent, my advice will still be not to go for Atom Based PC as a primary home pc. As you will discover pc usage, soon you will be tired of this slow machine. I have seen many people buying atom based PC for home us and within 1 month junking it and buying a new capable PC. If you are going to strictly use this as browsing and some normal office applications and nothing else, it will be O.K. But that does not happen actually.

@ami1 You are spreading quite a valuable actual user experience gyan!! Keep it up. Fear of returning to the same old handset compared to the current smartphone seems to have really inspired you Now in what ways does this customised ROM will differ from the bypass treo/chinese ROMS which we find in every Pre/Pixi user in this forum? If not much, then all our Gurus here can modify the Official Pre/Pixi ROM with indian usage in mind and upload it somewhere for their clients to play around safely with their handsets with the following, -Data settings not affected. -Profile Bypass. -Later on ability to create Palm Profile so you can install free Palm Applications -Any other danger area which they may be knowing. Many users & clients will be willing to update to latest ROM but not everyone will play with a live handset due to fear of something going wrong. Please gurus take this up to enhance your customer's experience. I will request for Palm Pixi Sprint Latest Customised Indian ROM. Thanks.

Happy Birthday Dr. Mufaddal God gave a gift to the world when you were born a person who loves, who cares, who sees a person's need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than himself, someone who touches each life he enters, and makes a difference in the world, because ripples of kindness flow outward as each person you have touched, touches others. Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday, because you are a special treasure for all that you've done. May the love you have shown to others return to you, multiplied. I wish you the happiest of birthdays, and many, many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do.

Source: SlashGear Notion Ink Adam: Behind the Scenes By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 9th 2010 Notion Ink continues to be one of the most searched for companies on SlashGear, an impressive record for a start-up firm taking on the might of Apple. Closely followed since their CES 2010 debut with the Adam tablet, aside from a few morsels of news in the intervening months the company has dropped back into a stealth mode of sorts. Now, in the first of an exclusive two-part feature, SlashGear can flesh out the Notion Ink story so far, including investor nightmares, multiple ODMs and an Android app-drawer's worth of custom Adam applications. First, a refresher. Notion Ink first made headlines midway through December 2009 as the first tablet to be announced using Pixel Qi's innovative transflective display, but it was CES 2010 the following month where they really made a splash with their prototype. Packing NVIDIA's second-gen Tegra 250 HD-capable chipset, the Android OS and Flash compatibility, the promise was not only internet browsing and multimedia but content partnerships that would turn Adam into a digital hub. The start-up was overwhelmed with interest, and the news shortly after Mobile World Congress in February 2010 that they'd closed funding seemed a sign that Adam was on its way to market. Since then, hardware delays and investor issues have partially derailed Notion Ink, sapping their momentum to the point where the fan mail turned into angry messages demanding solid release dates and pricing news. As stories go, it's a telling account of the challenges – of hardware, software and investment – that new companies face trying to get fresh devices off the ground. Being blunt, Notion Ink tells us that if they hadn't locked themselves in with their first investors, Adam would already have launched in twelve countries now, complete with the promised App Competition designed to drive developers to the platform. The first problems occurred after MWC, shortly after Notion Ink completed plans to move to Bombay. The Adam design had already been finalised, with the spec frozen prior to CES and ODM finalization in-between the two shows. Notion Ink's first choice of ODM produced a design verification testing (DVT) prototype; however, negotiations with the company failed over business disagreements between the ODM and Notion Ink's investor. Bizarrely, despite having spent four months on due-diligence working through the platform options and settling on Tegra 2 and Android, the investors first suggested shifting from NVIDIA to Intel; then, amid negotiations with the second ODM, they pushed for a switch to Windows 7 and even converting Adam from a tablet project to a netbook. According to Notion Ink, it was only media attention that helped convince the investors that Adam could provide some competition to Apple's iPad. In the midst of the suggested hardware and software changes, the investors also pushed to axe Notion Ink's App Competition, a million-dollar promotion to encourage tablet-scale software development. The project began hemorrhaging staff, the company's 60+ strong workforce dwindling to 40, as the backers decided that Adam's potential market reach was likely limited to India alone. Amid searching for an alternate investor – and still yet to see an infusion of money from their initial partners – negotiations with the second ODM failed. Come June, Notion Ink were touting their "Most Business Friendly" email app as a key strength of the Adam software suite, their engineers having been working on custom software since the get-go. Shortly after, the first capital arrived and the third ODM was agreed; however Notion Ink's investor proved reluctant to step out and allow alternate VCs to move in. Eventually – with would-be buyers complaining of infrequent blog updates, little in the way of public information and no fixed release dates – a new investor was secured in early June and the team once more began to grow. Prior to the investor news going public, Notion Ink's engineers completed engineering verification testing (EVT) with their new ODM and launched their alpha App Store. Since then, the Notion Ink blog has seen 1m hits, 31 applications and the underlying OS have been finalized, and the company's unique multitasking system has shifted from idea through proof of concept to working model. Shortly prior to DVT, the Notion Ink team had grown to 85 members, and after the internal release of the Adam SDK the third ODM design hit product verification testing (PVT). In the end, the NVIDIA Tegra 2 delay failed to have a knock-on effect on Adam solely because of their investor issues; the company tells us that, had they not been experiencing five months of delays with their investors, it would have pushed their timescale back from April to August 2010. While the company won't name either their current ODM or investor, they have told us that they've been "working with the best" and that all had invested heavily in the platform. In the second part of our Notion Ink coverage, we'll be talking about what the company has been doing during their extra development time, how the hardware and software has been evolving since the last functional prototype we saw, and hopefully showing you screenshots of the company's custom UI. We'll also have some tidbits on Notion Ink's next-gen models, and best of all, the first public news on release dates. Notion Ink Adam: Pricing and more By Chris Davies on Thursday, Aug 12th 2010 In part one of our Notion Ink feature, we looked at the reasons for the delay in production of the Adam slate. Happily the company didn't rest on their laurels while investor and ODM issues were ironed out. After the cut, details of hardware and software changes – including Notion Ink's take on iTunes – plans for Adam's launch and pricing for all four versions, and what's down the line in terms of follow-up hardware. Where Adam initially was expected to ship with WiFi b/g, that's now been replaced with WiFi b/g/n. Perhaps better still, rather than A-GPS, all versions of the slate – irrespective of wireless connectivity – will have true GPS. That's been a key complaint about the non-3G iPad, and something we're pleased to see Notion Ink address. However, a trusted source we've spoken to who recently left the company tells us that the rotating camera has also been finessed, increasing its play from 180- to 185-degrees. That might not sound like much, but it's enough to ensure that while typing on Adam as it's flat on a table, the camera can still see the user rather than just the ceiling. There's also apparently support for debugging, OS upgrades and more via a miniUSB port. The software engineers weren't idle either. While Notion Ink originally expected their custom UI to debut on the second-generation Adam slate, the delay allowed them to complete it in time for the first model. We had hoped to show you screenshots, but the company is still working on securing patents; they can't publicly reveal them until that process is complete. Thanks to our source, though, what we can tell you is that Adam will come with a content store called Genesis, described to us as "a high end variant on iTunes". Genesis integrates the Application Store, Content Store, Media Player, Book Indexer and "a lot more"; there'll be "millions" of ebook titles at rates said to be priced "aggressively". Meanwhile there will be a lot of preloaded applications, counterparts of many of which (from third-parties) can be found on the iPad. That will include a drawing and sketching tool that's said to be "beautiful", Notion Ink's special next-generation email system which "can be used by an organization to secure, save and transmit data using their own servers" and a unique identification number coded to each Adam which can be used to track it worldwide. The tablet will also come with Unreal Engine Support, preloaded with a few games titles (that are yet to be launched) from NVIDIA. Meanwhile, Notion Ink has around 90 major US developers and 17 in India registered – in total around 340 accounts – looking to create software for Adam; our source says the company has not yet shared their SDK, but that the third-party devs are aware of the UI designs and multitasking concepts they'll need to incorporate. As for that multitasking, we're told that it takes great advantage of Android's theoretical ability to run limitless numbers of apps simultaneously, held back only by CPU and memory. Rather than the "menu key long press" used to trigger the app switcher on current Android phones, Notion Ink has supposedly come up with a system that allows interaction with all apps at the same time. Meanwhile there'll be Android Market access, together with a complete office suite with a custom skin to suit tablet use, rather than the third-party office apps currently available for Android. Four versions of Adam will be launched: each will use NVIDIA's Tegra 2, but there will be Pixel Qi and LCD models and a choice of WiFi-only or WiFi and 3G. The company has confirmed that all will come in under the cost of a basic iPad; our source tells us that the LCD version will cost $399 for the WiFi-only and $449 for the 3G model, while the Pixel Qi version will cost $449 for the WiFi-only and $498 for the 3G model. We've also heard that, if Notion Ink can clinch a last minute deal they're working on, a further $25 could be shaved from each of those figures, plus there will be special discounts for universities and students. As for launch dates themselves, it's very much dependent on FCC certification. With manufacturing set to begin in early November, Notion Ink plan to submit Adam to the FCC either that month or early December; their testing can take anything between two weeks and twelve weeks, meaning there's a November 2010 to January 2011 window in which the tablet could be launched. If approval is secured in November, they tell us, they'll be shipping Adam by air to hit US shelves as soon as possible. If approval doesn't come through until January, however, then the retail launch will be at CES 2011, a year after the first prototype made its debut. Although Notion Ink expect to release Adam in the US first, their Indian launch will only be 1-2 weeks later. After that, they'll look to other countries; the exact details are unknown, but given the online ordering system we're assuming that as long as there is a means to ship Adam, you'll be able to order it. Previously Notion Ink has said they'll be able to feasibly produce 100,000 units per month, should there be the demand for it. Meanwhile, as Adam approaches the virtual shelves, Notion Ink has unsurprisingly been looking at their subsequent models. Adam 2 is expected to use NVIDIA's as-yet-unannounced Tegra 3 chipset and run Android 3.0 Gingerbread; with the SoC itself yet to be confirmed, there's only a vague launch window of Q2 to Q3 2011 when Adam 2 could debut. Google is yet to confirm requirements for Gingerbread, but Notion Ink tells us that they're doing as much as they can to ensure first-gen Adam owners can upgrade. The eagle-eyed may have spotted the company's second sequel on the timeline, currently known as the Notion Ink Eve. Unfortunately they won't be drawn on what exactly Eve is, beyond saying it's "a completely new concept". We've heard rumors of a Notion Ink smartphone – their experience with Android and existing team of developers would put them in a strong position in terms of the software, certainly – but we'll have to wait a while before we find out for sure what Eve is. You can find more information on Adam at its SlashGear Roots page, and follow Notion Ink's progress at the company's official blog.

WeTab presents the first tablet with open operating system MeeGo Berlin (Germany) – September 3, 2010 – At a press conference hosted by its technology partner Intel, WeTab GmbH has announced the technological basis for its tablet computer, the WeTab, developed in cooperation with Intel, going public just in time for the IFA international trade fair for consumer electronics in Berlin. The WeTab, which will come on to the German market already in September, is the first tablet worldwide based on MeeGo. WeTab OS, the WeTab operating system, is based on the free Linux distribution MeeGo and integrates runtime environments for various other technologies. As such, in addition to native Linux apps, many other applications can run on the WeTab, including Android™ apps, Adobe® Air® applications and MeeGo apps. Those apps that are interesting for the user have been compiled and are available on the WeTab Market, from where they can be loaded directly onto the WeTab. This means that developers can program in the languages they are familiar with and users can choose from an abundance of very different applications. "Working intensively with Intel, we have developed the WeTab OS with MeeGo to meet the requirements of a tablet user in the best way possible. The tablet runs extremely fast and, in addition to native apps, also provides direct access to countless Web-based apps", says Stephan Odörfer, Managing Director of 4tiitoo AG, which is are also involved in this joint venture with WeTab GmbH. The Web-browser plays a special role here and is based on the free HTML rendering engine WebKit, enabling fast and unrestricted surfing enjoyment including HTML5, Adobe Flash® and Java™. Wolfgang Petersen, Director of Intel Software and Services Group at Intel Deutschland GmbH, says: "The WeTab is the first tablet based on MeeGo and the Intel® Atom™ processor. MeeGo is designed for a broad range of devices. Implementing MeeGo on the WeTab shows just how the operating system can be adapted for use on a tablet."

The Four Cats Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were. The first man was an Engineer, The second man was an Accountant, The third man was a Chemist, and The fourth man was a Government Employee. To show off, the Engineer called his cat, 'T-square, do your stuff.' T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart. But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, 'Spreadsheet, do your stuff.' Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies. Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, 'Measure, do your stuff.' Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces into the glass without spilling a drop. Everyone agreed that was pretty good. Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, 'What can your cat do?' The Government Employee called his cat and said, 'CoffeeBreak, do your stuff.' CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet....... Ate the cookies........ Drank the milk....... S**t on the paper....... Sc**wed the other three cats....... Claimed he injured his back while doing so........ Filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions....... Put in for Workers Compensation................ and Went home for the rest of the day on sick leave............ AND THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!

LEGAL AND LOGICAL EXPLAINED. After having failed his exam in 'Logistics and Organization' , at the University of XXXXXX, North American one, an Indian student goes and confronts his Professor about it. Indian Student: 'Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject in which you have not given me even a pass mark?' Canadian Professor: 'Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!' Student: 'Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an 'A' for the exam. ' Professor: 'Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?' Student: 'What is legal, but not logical; logical, but not legal and neither logical, nor legal?' Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an 'A', as agreed. Afterwards, the professor calls on another Indian students whom the Professors considers as his best student and asks him the question asked by the student who had just met him. The deemed best Indian student immediately answers: 'Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old Indian woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your Indian wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an 'A' grade after he seemingly won an arguement, although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical.'

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one has to drop off, otherwise they are all going to fall. They were not able to choose that person, but then the woman made a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because as woman she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids, and for men in general, without ever getting anything in return. As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping their hands. =================================================================== A lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely.

Written by a 90 year old. This is something we should all read!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!! Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio. "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. 12. It's OK to let your children see you cry. 13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it. 15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks. 16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. 18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. 19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else 20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer. 21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special. 22. Over prepare, then go with the flow. 23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple. 24. The most important sex organ is the brain. 25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?' 27. Always choose life. 28. Forgive everyone everything. 29. What other people think of you is none of your business. 30. Time heals almost everything. Give time to time. 31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 33. Believe in miracles. 34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. 35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. 36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young. 37. Your children get only one childhood. 38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. 40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back. 41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 42. The best is yet to come... 43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 44. Yield. 45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, Nouns are designated as either Masculine or Feminine. 'House' for instance, is Feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is Masculine: 'el lapiz.' A student asked, 'What Gender is 'Computer'?' Instead of giving the answer, the Teacher split the Class into two Groups, Male and Female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether Computer' should be a Masculine or a Feminine noun. Each group was asked to give Four Reasons for its recommendation. The Men's group decided that 'Computer' should definitely be of the Feminine Gender ('la computadora'), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible laterretrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. (THIS GETS BETTER!) The Women's group, however, concluded that Computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The Women won.
