Airtel on Monday announced their 3G service in Karnataka Circle, so Bangalore will be first to go 3G on Airtel’s network. Data plan prices below. ( as on January 25th 2011, these may change pretty often )

Rs. 9 for 10 MB, validity 1 day
Rs. 45 for 40 MB Validity 3 days
Rs. 60 for 65 MB, validity 3 days

Rs. 200 for 250 MB, validity 30 days
Rs. 450 for 600 MB, validity 30 days
Rs. 750 for 2 GB, validity 30 days.
Apart form the above Plans, Airtel also launched on Heavy Users Plan at Rs. 650 which provide 1.25 GB free data usage. After Free usage all 3G data access will be 10p/MB up to 14 GB and after 14 GB the Speed cap of 128 Kbps will be applicable.
Looks like Docomo has reduced prices in Karnataka Circle after Airtel launched 3G. I am not sure when they dropped prices. The latest prices on their website looks lower than what it used to be when they launched 3G. I had bought a 3G SIM from Docomo when I bought the new Android phone. I was not so impressed. Waiting for some feedback on Airtel 3G speed and service.
And anyone heard of a company called Vodafone ? do they have plans of offering 3G sometime soon ?
After writing a lot about Android and Android devices, I finally bought an Android phone. I was waiting for an affordable model here in India. Finally found my love in LG Optimus One. It came with Android 2.2 and I am waiting for the next update to 2.3, Ginger Bread.
A fast moving gadget, and fastest ever in LG’s history.
Price was 13250 when bought ( a few days after it was announced here in India I couldn’t wait more ) it might have come done by now .. may be ?
I am in love with the android experience .. may be because I am biased but this is awesome. There are a lot of ways for you to waste time, like say the Angry Bird game ? The Talking Tom app a funny cat that repeats everything you say in a funny tone and there are a lot more.
The performance is good for its price range and processor power. Camera works good in day light, may experience issues taking photos when light is less because there is no flash. The photo in this post was taken with this phone, from Bangalore. ( uploaded to my dropbox folder from phone ) LG is doing some good promotion here.

May be adobe is scared about Apple kicking it out of the web by rejecting flash and refusing to load flash on any of its recent products like iPhones and iPads. Adobe is now working on various other web related projects that may keep them hold their ground on the web 3.0 and further.
HTML5 videos are supposed to be future of the web without the flash. Looks like along with HTML5 video related research, Adobe has a lot of interest in Webkit and especially typography on the web using html5. I am impressed with what they have come up with. Watch this video and I am sure you also will love it. It will be interesting to watch how Adobe places itself in the web related technologies market in the future now that the dominance of flash is questioned.
Watch this demo video of Qwiki and let me know what you think ! I loved the part where qwiki gives daily briefing in the morning. When will you come to Android phones qwiki ? Btw, I got an invite to qwiki through techcrunch !
For some time, you were a farmer on facebook and then you became a Don with Mafia Wars. Now, its time for you to be a Hollywood star.
On Monday, Mr. Eisner, the former chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, will announce a new Facebook game called FameTown in which players will be virtual aspiring actors trying to make it big. The game will be released on November 1st.
How To Play Fame Town
Well, after adding this application to your facebook profiles …
The goal of FameTown is for virtual actors to move from the D-List to the A-List. Players can pick which make-believe movie star they want to be and then earn points by completing tasks like meeting the cast and director. They can also improve their social standing by attending the right parties or charity events, and they can hire assistants, agents or publicists to help their virtual careers.
Just like farmville and many other facebook games, fametown also will have virtual cash, which you earn by playing more, and also using your credit card, if you are that crazy.
Man, look for those fametown invites on your facebook walls and your inboxes … they are going to spam you soon !!!
I couldn’t wait more ) it might have come done by now .. may be ?
