Delhi Traffic Police will soon be seen with smart BlackBerry phones matching steps with the Scotland Yard. They would also be able to know about previous notices slapped on a vehicle, its accident record if any and details of the driver on a CDMA or GPRS handheld device. The department plans to start a system of ‘e-challans’ soon to make all this possible. Traffic police officers would also be able to print challans in English and Hindi on-the-spot and also forward it to courts. This new technology ‘e-challan’ system is expected to start in April. This is reportedly the first time in India that any traffic police department will be printing violation notices on-the-spot. Delhi Police has placed an order for 650 such handheld devices, which will be given to traffic cops all over Delhi. “It will save a lot of time. The challans can even be sent to court. The data relating to the vehicle held would be available on the device as it would be linked with the Central Database,” said a senior traffic police officer. Through this device, the challaning officer of Delhi Police will be able to know the status of the vehicle - whether it is stolen, involved in crime or otherwise, previous history of the vehicle or the driver in accident, previous prosecution history of the vehicle, pending notices of the vehicle and also access the system through the Internet. The device would be connected to a central database through which it would be able to search or access data on the basis of the vehicle number, name of the driver, parentage, driver’s license details, using wild card options on one or many fields. “In case any pending notices are shown by the database, then the device would generate all pending notices besides the current one,” added the officer. Officials said that the new devices would act as payment receiving stations for any challan or notice generated by any other device and issue receipts. This device, officials say, that would be small in size like a BlackBerry phone with a touch screen and stylus and would be attached with an compact printer to print challans in both English and Hindi. It would work in adverse weather conditions and would be able to receive/send small text SMS messages from and to the control server. The traffic cops may carry this device in their pouch and then fix it on their belt. The Delhi Traffic police already has a state-of-the-art control room with multimedia to track PCR vans fitted with GPS devices and the department also has installed CCTV cameras at major intersections to make Delhi’s traffic more smooth. The police are also planning a website for providing traffic-related services to the people.

TO EACH TO HIS OWN

Sure BOSS. Your wish is my command

BlackBerry has decided to open its showrooms in India. The decision has been taken by the Canadian multinational company Research in Motion (RIM) that manufactures BlackBerry handsets. This is the first time that the company has decided to open its dedicated showrooms in India anywhere outside United States and Canada. The decision comes despite the fact that RIM faced raging controversy over high security features that the company uses in its handsets. The Indian security agencies had asked the company to reduce the high level of encryption. Earlier Department of Telecommunication had asked the RIM to set up its local server in the country. This way it would have got more leverage over the company. But RIM had refused it as simply untenable. RIM had said that it will be very dangerous to lower the encryption level of the handsets as it will make it easier for hackers to hack into the important data of the Blackberry users. The company had said that lowering the encryption level will endanger the security of business data of its customers as it would allow easy access to hackers to users’ data. “Encryption with key lengths of 128 bits or longer protects business communications and online transactions from hackers, thieves and other wrongdoers. If escrowed keys ever fall into the wrong hands, individual businesses and consumers would be driven away from using the internet for private, commercial and confidential communications . A similar result would follow from the dumbing down of encryption to levels that fail to offer protection . Either would greatly disrupt the ability of information technology to contribute to India’s rapid productivity growth” Research in Motion is believed to have told the authorities. In another development the company had also said that it was being singled out by Department of Telecommunication (DoT) officials as there are several other companies providing similar services to customers with similar encryption level.

It looks like Research in Motion is going to keep itself pretty busy next year, because this leaked roadmap for 2009 is pointing toward a few notable launches of new BlackBerry devices. Going a little further down the list, perhaps the two most notable mentions are that of a Touchscreen Bold 9900 "Pluto" and a Storm Slider. The touchscreen Bold will take on much the same form factor as the existing Bold 9000, except the display will be a touchscreen. We're expecting an announcement at 2009 WES with launches at AT&T and Rogers for about $199 to $299 with contract. The Storm Slider falls in line with products like the HTC Touch Pro. The BlackBerry Storm is the first touchscreen BlackBerry from RIM, but some people will still want a physical QWERTY keyboard. This is unconfirmed at this point, but we expect 3G, WiFi, and a Euro-centered release.

I could post the road map but outside links are not allowed here. Just google it.
