Google Wave has a new feature called “Email Notification”. It’s pretty simple. When enabled, Google wave will send you an email whenever a wave is updated.
How to Enable
To enable, click on the the dropdown button on your inbox, select notifications. You will get options to set up notifications. You can select to receive updates “Immediately” “Hourly” or ”Daily”.
I do not see an option to enter a different email address than my gmail ID. May be this feature is yet to be implemented. Let me know if anyone else here that option !

Google phone is coming to India, but not the original one. Google will introduce a “mini” version of the Nexus phone, with less price, and lesser features.
This was revealed by Ankit from CNBC-TV 18 after an “editorial meet” with Google India head Shailesh Rao. Ankit wrote:
Nexus One will not come to India in its US avatar, the India specific Google Phone may be a stripped down version and priced lower!
I am glad that Google is not making the same mistake that Apple did. Since we do not have cell phone contracts to give subsidized phones, selling the same phone or on same price will not work in India.
So, obviously, a different type of phone, with lesser number of features will do better here. I am confident about this matter after seeing the response to touch screen smartphones from samsung from Indian customers.
Competing with Samsung’s cheaper touchphones is a different game altogether. I dont think google can bring such a drastic change to the price of Nexus phone.
People love movies or characters because they do things that we want to do in real life but can not. I know this statement is kind of “cliche” – but this is so true with My Name is Khan, but with a greater meaning and purpose.
Many people around us wanted to shout, that one sentence – I am not a terrorist – now their feelings have found a voice. For others, this movie will give enough light to say, ” I know you are not a terrorist”
This movie is telling me not to assume anything based on the limited knowledge about crazy things happening around me. This movie will stay alive in some corner of my mind and will keep remind me or rather warn me, whenever I am about to jump in to assumptions, and accusations.
Thanks Karan Johar and Sharukh Khan, that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I finished watching this movie.
Oh yes, yet another Post about Mr. G. Now, dont give me those stares there is something good to happening here, and really good if you are a flickr user.
Flickr users know what Picnik is, and how useful it is. Picnik is an online photo editing tool. It is easy to use and does some awesome things with your freshly clicked photographs. After you upload a photo to flickr, you can click on “edit” and access picnik services from the same page. You can use this service from picnik.com even if you do not have a flickr account.
There are many cool features available in picnik.com, but only paid members have access to most of them. I believe that sometime in future, Mr G. will make those services available for non paying users as well. If that happens, it will be awesome ! *looks at flickr users*
Do you use Picasa ?
If you are a Picasa fan and use it for photo sharing, you should be happy too , because we will this feature on Google’s own picasa too soon. Cool right ?
Everything is going well in the Indian cellphone market, minus the news about scams on spectrum allocation. Overall, I am happy with how we use cellphones, again, minus the customer service that sucks most of the time.
But, is there room for improvement ?
Can we boost smartphone usage, using cell phone contracts, like in other markets around the Globe ? Now, don’t ask me what is the use of increasing smartphone usage. I have only one reason, a lot of Indians, like me wants to use smartphones but they are not affordable.
With contracts, the service providers will give you phone at a subsidized rate, if you sign a contract with them to use their network for say, next 12 months or so. Service providers will get their profit with the increased usage of data and by many other channels while you are using their service. Well, this may include some evil methods too, I am not sure. That is why I asked, do you think it is good for Indian customers. I dint mean to ask, is evil good for Indian customers though
This is not just cellphones, netbooks with 3G simcard included, to stay connected 24/7 are going to be the next big thing, pretty soon, and then there are tablets like iPad coming in. All these things will be affordable if Indian service providers consider this option .. but as an Indian customer, are you ready for this game ?
Okay, we have spent enough time on iPhone killers, now let’s kill the iPad.
We saw a lot of iPhone killers after it was announced, or became a success. Either, companies tried to make some iPhone killers, or people called every smartphone after iPhone an “iPhone Killer”. Now, it’s time for iPad killers.
It’s not out in the market yet you say ? well, we already have two of them JooJoo and X2′s iTablet. We will soon see many more iPad killers coming in to market. Sadly, every tablet pc made will be called an “iPad Killer” from now onwards, either it looks like it, or not.
There will be loads of iPad imitations too, and they also will be called iPad killers, and will save the bad name, “imitation”. All reviews and previews will lead to one single question ” Will this be an iPad Killer” ?
Even though I am more interested in a Chrome OS based netbook now, Android based netbooks are still an interesting news. Companies like HP are still developing android based netbooks, and here is the latest one – Compaq Airlife 100.
It runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor and has 512MB if RAM, and a 16GB internal Flash drive. Every other feature looks similar to a netbook, including the 10-inch widescreen, 1,024-by-600 resolution, card reader, and 28WH battery (3-cell).
Compaq Airlife 100 works with Microsoft Exchange, that means you can have your corporate email account on this netbook. It also has an application for you to view and edit word, excel and powerpoint files. It can handle PDF files too.
The Airlife 100 will be available only in Europe for now. There’s no word on pricing or when it’ll be available in the United States or any other countries.
If you are interested in testing Android on your own laptop now, you can check out Live Android, a customized android version of laptops and desktop computers. However, I think its better to try Chrome OS, and not android, because both of them are moving in different directions as of now. Android is being developed for mobile phones, and Chrome OS, for laptops or tablets.
I recently tried Chrome Os on my laptop, installing it on my USB drive. You can check this post for more details about it. I have posted some pictures too. I am yet to figure out how to uninstall the OS from my USB drive, and my wife is blaming me for making that drive unusable
Another interesting thing for you, if you want to add the beautiful Chrome Os menu on your normal Chrome browser, check this post, I have explained how to do it !
Oops ! Started writing about Android, and ended up in Chrome OS ! Sorry Guys Here is a nice little video of the Compaq Airlife 100. HP has put in some good work with the UI, and made the netbook touch screeen. The browser has tabbed browsing, and this always remains connected using 3g.
there is something good to happening here, and really good if you are a
