Android is smarter than we thought. It was created for cellphones. Then we figured out that it will work on Laptops and netbooks too. Now, read this.

MIPS Technologies, a company which designs processors for various home entertainment devices, says it is working with partners to design Android-based platforms for set-top boxes, digital TVs, mobile Internet devices, and home media players. The company expects Android-powered digital picture frames to come to market later this year, followed by digital TVs and set-top boxes in 2010.  ( source )

chavez -el-v ergatario- mobile-phone-1

Hugo Chavez, the socialist President of Venezuela, launched a new cell phone on Mothers Day. His first call on the phone was to his mother.

The phone costs $15, and may be is the cheapest phone in the world. Interesting ? hmm , okay, here is something else that will make you go crazy, the meaning of the word Vergatorio is Penis … shocked ??

I have no clue why he chose that word. He even joked on his TV show saying, ”Whoever doesn’t have a Vergatario is nothing,”  now, that’s what we call CRAZY !!

The phone has a camera, WAP internet access, FM radio and MP3 and MP4 players for music and videos. Fair enough for a $15 phone. Now, we should wait for the review of this phone. Once the review is out, let’s see what’s the future of this phone is. Will this Vergatario phone reach India some day ? a phone with cam, fm, video and mp3, for less than Rs.1000 !!

Poonam has the ( bad ) habit of tagging me all the time ( lol ). This time, she is asking me to share 8 random facts about me !! Even though I use the word “random”, I had to search a bit to find out what random means and think a little extra, what random facts can be ( ? ) shared.

Random = made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern So dont expect something bigg in this post ( nor in any other posts here, I am sure you already know it if you are here for second time )

1 Long back, someone whom I respect a lot, taught me this, ” Be the best in what you do “. I am too lazy, and later in life, I changed it or created my own version. “Be, what you can be the best” or be there, where you are sure, that you will be the best. Continue reading →
