^^^ Racoon just look one post up, he is selling battery u wanted, Also one of my friend have found duplicate hologram on BL5c battery purchased from local market, saying its original. hologram looks very original, but after verification on it serial number, battery found to be duplicate. so beware of the duplicate holograms. also there are some OEM battery for just Rs250, works full day with 2-3 hr talk, better to go for OEM over duplicate batteries.

C'mon HP. You can do it! Earlier today Engadget unearthed an internal presentation from HP that shows what advantages HP's Slate have over Apple's iPad, and vice versa. The presentation is there to help HP employees understand what needs to be done and what they can write home about. But this one slide is only a small part of a much larger big picture. While the slide does reveal advantages that the Slate does have over the iPad in terms of hardware, it doesn't address several fundamental issues: HP does not have a well built, well populated and well integrated applications repository and store. HP does not have a multi-studio backed music and movies store. HP does not have a widely populated books and magazines store. Time and time again, Apple has demonstrated that having the best specs does not necessarily equate to having top notch mainstream acceptance and usability. This is where HP can start. Rather than having tunnel-vision focus on specifications alone, HP needs to hone in on user experience, and that begins squarely with the interface that will ultimately ship with the Slate. HP is partly at the mercy of Microsoft. A version of Windows 7 will ship with the Slate, but what HP needs to do is create a well refined and customized touch-tuned interface that's intuitive to use. A slate/tablet device by today's standards, has to be usable by human fingers in a natural and easy way. If a company thinks thinks that by craming a desktop OS designed to be used with a keyboard and mouse into tablet, it is dead wrong. Thankfully however, HP is creating a custom TouchSmart interface that will ship with the Slate. ZoomKey things HP needs to focus on are: - Intuitive finger-based navigation. - Unreliance on mouse, keyboard, stylus, although having options for these are good. - Ensure that all aspects of the interface are cohesive, consistent and refined. - Figure out a way to make applications take on the same consistency End user experience are the final measuring stick on whether or not a device will be successful. But HP needs to work providing such an experience first. If HP can work deeply with Microsoft to refine the Slate's interface, things could look bright indeed. Beyond Interfaces and Hardware Competition beyond the interface however, is an even greater challenge for HP. Don't be fooled into thinking that the Slate and the iPad are on equal ground. What the Slate has to contend with is not simply another tablet, but an entire platform. Apple has immense strength here thanks to the entire "i-ecosystem." This is to say, the iTunes store, the App store, and now the iBooks store, are all part of the whole platform. One only needs to look at what the Apple has done to Amazon's once dominant Kindle ebook business to see that the Slate is in a battle not unlike David and Goliath. While its computer sales may pale in comparison, Apple's relentless grip on other business markets is massive. To underestimate these other areas, is a dangerous move. HP needs to work closely with software developers and publishers. Since the Slate runs Windows 7, HP can use this to its advantage from a developer standpoint. It can work to convince and support the ocean of Windows developers to create custom version of existing apps and with new, well designed touch interfaces. HP also needs to see things through. Letting developers do whatever they want in terms of design and interface, is a bad idea. HP needs to keep developers along agreed-upon high quality standards. Only through this way, will the total user experience of the Slate be meaningful. Outside from this, HP needs to also work with game publishers. For the most part, a tablet isn't a heavy duty productivity device. When you need to do serious work, you'll hit a laptop or a desktop. Therefore, game publishers are a key for HP. Everyone needs to work together to come out with attractive leisure and entertainment titles for the Slate. The mainstream market relates to this type of software far easier than things like office tools, FTP and file transfer utilities, remote control utilities and other things only savvy users would know. Music, Movies and Books HP is a big company. It has history. It has heritage. And most of all, it has clout. HP as a whole, wields tremendous power that most companies can only dream of having. In light of this, HP needs to start working with the entertainment industry to develop a viable and competitive platform to the iTunes store. While alternatives exist already, they're all small relative to iTunes' size. HP has the power to see the effort through thanks to its large pool of resources and that's what it needs to do. When it can show the entertainment industry an attractive user experience, HP can attract publishers to take the bite. If HP isn't willing to create something of its own, partnering with one of the other larger alternatives, is a good place to start. The same can be said for books. In fact, HP can consider a partnership with Amazon to make the Kindle store an official repository for the Slate. This would be an immediate advantage and one that millions of users are already familiar with. The fact that Amazon released a Kindle app for the iPad on the iPad's launch day says that Amazon is willing to be flexible in order to save its Kindle business. Making It All Come Together There are a lot of things HP needs to do to ensure the success of the Slate. It can't count on specifications alone. Tablets far more powerful than the iPad already exist in various forms. Yet they are tucked away into the niche-end of the market, doomed to be forgotten. The Slate can avoid the same fate if its mother company rises to the occasion to develop a cohesive and flourishing platform. It's clear that HP sees the iPad as a very serious competitor to the Slate, otherwise it wouldn't create such internal presentations. But the presentation it created is blindsided by specs and doesn't address the platform issues. It's wonderful that the Slate has a built in webcam, a fast CPU, 1080p playback (only via video out since the Slate's resolution (1024x600) is actually less than the iPad), lots of memory, USB connectivity and user expandable storage. But they say history often repeats itself. HP cannot and should not count on power useres who know and understand technology well to see its product through to success. It must go after the larger mainstream base first. Out of all your friends and family, how many times have you had to fix computer problems for them? The mainstream base will launch the Slate into success and drive prices down, ultimately giving the power users what they want: a powerful, well made, well supported tablet that's priced right. The Slate, like the iPad, is merely a window into a world created by content. Both sides need to be in harmony for everything to come together. I for one, hope HP can take its Slate to grand success. It can only be good for consumers. HP on the other hand cannot count on hopes and wishes alone--it needs desire. For a wish for something may or may not come true. But desire won't go away until that something is true. Go HP.

Apple A4 CPU Dissection: iPad is Just a Big iTouch It uses the same sort of brains and brawn as the latest iPhone and iPod Touch models. When Steve Jobs took to the stage earlier this year to unveil the iPad, he also announced a custom processor he called the A4. While the company has been rather mum on what's inside the package, early reports figured the A4 to be ARM-based, just like the iPhone and iPod Touch models. And they were right. Teardown specialist firm iFixit sent the A4 chip to Canadian-based Chipworks, a semiconductor reverse engineering firm, for an x-ray and dissection to find out what Apple's chip is made up of. These are the conclusions that iFixit it came to: · There's not much revolutionary here. In fact, the A4 is quite similar to the Samsung processor Apple uses in the iPhone [3GS]. · It's clear from both hardware and software that this is a single core processor, so it must be the ARM Cortex A8, and NOT the rumored multicore A9. · It's quite challenging to identify block-level logic inside a processor, so to identify the GPU we're falling back to software: early benchmarks are showing similar 3D performance to the iPhone [3GS], so we're guessing that the iPad uses the same PowerVR SGX 535 GPU. · The iPad has 256 MB RAM, same as the iPhone [3GS]. · The A4 sips power. In fact, power consumption is probably the reason Apple hasn't stepped up performance much from the iPhone [3GS]. In order to get 10 hours of battery life, the entire iPad (including display) has to pull less than 2.5 Watts on average. It should be noted that, while both the CPU and GPU appear to be upclocked versions of the same things powering the iPhone 3GS, it's still impossible to tell at this stage. Furthermore, there is a single core version of the ARM Cortex A9, so Apple could be using a newer CPU than the A8 in the latest iPhone and iPod Touch. Nevertheless, we agree with iFixit that, on a hardware level, "there's not much revolutionary here." Apple has essentially built a triple-layer, package-on-package custom chip using off-the-shelf components. Like the company does for the rest of its computing product, it takes something that's readily available in the technology marketplace and layers it with custom software to provide a markedly different experience.

good idea !! Will be back after searching !!!

, Is this corporate company or what ?

^^^ Ditto, Require new OS at lest for talet, Google Chrome OS or Android will be good for tablets.

^^^ Now That is a hardcore solution !!!

Mingle Q&A With Us and the iPad, Q&A Want to know more about the iPad and ask us questions live? We have no idea how many iPads Apple were sold on April 3--estimates are approaching 800,000--but we do get the sense there might now be enough and if you have your hands on one of these, you justifiably are an early tech adopter. So we invite you to share your first impressions with the world, other iPad owners and those who are still waiting to purchase one. We will use a Mingleverse Mingle room, a browser-based 3D telepresence service, for our iPad event. You can join free of charge and can move freely in a virtual room that allows us to share images, online video and a live video feed. It is a great communication platform with text and audio chat that should enable all of you to get an interesting first look at the iPad. So Apple and god will, we will get our hands on an iPad as well and wait until the mingle to unbox the tablet. The mingle will take place April 6th at 5 PM PST. The spots will be given away on a first come – first serve basis. We highly recommend a reservation of your space as we cannot guarantee availability later on. To participate in the mingle, you simply need a web browser and a headset, if you want to communicate with others in the room. If you have a webcam, you can use that too!

only physical problem may come ! if it fits in your battery compartment and battery door fits perfectly, then do GO for it !!

I-Pad Hacked to Show Jailbreak is Possible Soon hackers will make it possible for you to run the apps you want without Apple's approval. The act of jailbreaking an Apple mobile device frees the user to install the apps that he or she wants without requiring Apple's approval into the App Store. Jailbreaking has been around since the very first iPhone, and now hackers have given good reason to believe that it'll be continuing on the iPad as well. Check out this proof video below showing root access into the iPad. iPad Hacked to Show Jailbreak is Possible Late last month, iPhone hacker Geohot exposed a new untethered jailbreak hack on the iPhone that he claims will also work on the iPad. With so many hackers working on Apple's new gadget, it'll only be a matter of time.

also install a WMTorrent on WinMo device and download via torrent ,,, gr8 software for winmo but no one can beat BB mail service

its was an typo, radio is HeroC-Radio-2.42.00.03.10

no, its not a typo. New radio is Ver 2.43.00.03.10

new radio available for hero , Ver 2.43.00.03.10 for all roms you can try that !!

*228 now works in roaming also. !!! Tested in TN, Karnataka, AP with MAH number. *228 now works in roaming also. !!! Tested in TN, Karnataka, AP with MAH number.

they are saying they have used Yamaha chip for Audio !!!

i know you have already updated the radio, but new rom may require radio update, just wait i think this 0=D issue is not too big, at lest you are getting txt msg.

i think you should wait for official update from Sprint, after getting it, delete all data from it, install appropriate Radio and install new official ROM. Also i would suggest try diffrent TATA PRL if possible.

^^^ is it so bad ?

Isohunt could be getting close to shuttering its doors after an order from the court. With the Pirate Bay beaten down (but not sunk), a ruling by U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles now opens fire on sharing sites such as Isohunt, Torrentbox and Podtropolis. Unless there is some change in decision, Isohunt will likely have to shutter its doors to the 30 million unique monthly visitors that it gets. The judge is demanding that Isohunt stop "creating, maintaining or providing access to browsable website categories of dot-torrent or similar files using or based on infringement-related terms." Gary Fung, the 27-year-old Canadian who runs Isohunt, said that such a rule basically bans keyword searches. "Filtering against keywords. It amounts to nothing less than taking down our search engine," Fung said in a telephone interview with Wired. Fung says that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires Hollywood to provide links to files to be removed. Banning keyword searches, however, could erroneously remove content that doesn't infringe on copyright. "We’re discussing the mechanics, the process that is reasonable for an injunction," Fung said. "We’re still trying to hope that the judge will do the right thing."

Apple's iPad Gets a CPU Performance Review iPad gets benchmarked. By now, all major tier one publications have published their reviews of the iPad. All reviews seem to be generally positive, but so far none have put the iPad under any serious benchmarks and stress tests. Our good friend Anand had his iPad delivered on Saturday, and has already run the unit through various tests. Although he's still working on an exhaustive review, the iPad, when compared to the iPhone 3GS and Google Nexus One seem to perform quite well. The iPhone 3GS uses the ARM Cortex A8 CPU while Google's Nexus One uses Qualcomm's very speedy Snapdragon QSD8250 CPU. Both phones are fast by today's standards, but Apple's A4 CPU seems to stack up well against what's available. "So how does Apple's A4 stack up against today's favorite smartphone brainchild? Extremely well. The A4 is particularly exciting because it combines Snapdragon-like CPU performance with a PowerVR SGX GPU. A much better option than the aging ATI core used in Qualcomm's QSD8x50 series," says Anand. Check out his initial impressions at AnandTech. DISASSEMBLED: Apple's iPad Tablet Today is iPad day and while many people are at home unwrapping their new toy and revelling in that fresh-out-of-the-box gadget smell, the folks at Rapid Repair are tearing their own iPad limb from limb. They're still in the middle of the tear-down so while we're waiting to hear the final word on what's inside the tablet that has everybody talking, here's the first set of images from their tear-down. We'll add more images once Rapid Repair is done and hopefully we'll catch up with them for a little chat on what they found. [uPDATE] Added all the extra images we could pull from Rapid Repair.
