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 !!

Is Google Building an Operating System ?

The answer is yes. There are reasons to believe so. Google’s Android is not just a mobile phone operating system. In future, you can expect Andriod being developed as a Desktop Operating system based on Linux. So, next time when you see the question ” Is Google Creating an Operating system”, say “YES” ( poor Microsoft .. first they lost the web to Google, and this time, their Desktop is in Danger ).

Kerala Govt. to Ban Mobile Phones in Schools !!

Yes, that’s right !! Kerala Government will soon implement a new law,  that will  ban children from using mobile phones in schools.

All what we have now is a mere government order that mobiles cannot be used in schools. But now it has been decided that we will introduce new laws to this effect, banning the use of mobiles in all schools,’ Balakrishnan told the state assembly.

Do they really need cell phones in Schools ? I don’t think so. Well, its not because I did not have a mobile phone when was in School .. ( yep, I am not jealous !! ) but, I really don’t see any use for mobile phones in school, at least when they are in the Class rooms.

But, if you ask if I have seen any one misusing Mobile phones in schools, sorry, No, but I think there are chances, ( like any other place ) but, we don’t expect any such incident from Schools right ? What do you think ?  Its time for some serious discussion now !!!

Opera Mini : The mobile browser

Do you browse the web using mobile phone ? Are you a newbie in this area looking for a good mobile browser ? Opera Mini is the best option for you.

  • It looks good
  • Works Fast
  • It’s free

    On my mobile browser ( I don’t know the name ) that came default with the handset, large pages won’t load, because it is trying to display everything in the actual size.

    Opermini re sizes the websites to fit on the screen and when we can navigate the page, and zoom wherever we want to see things in the actual size.

    The Opera Mini experience has been fabulous so far. I tried accessing my gmail, orkut, webmail for this domain ( Google Apps ), This blog itself, and finally the wordpress admin page too !!

    I am still playing with this little cutie. I will need to organize my bookmarks, save passwords for mail accounts and wordpress admin page. ( entering username and password using mobile browsers, is really  boring and time consuming. )

    What is the best way to publish this post ?

    How much should we spend on a Mobile Phone ?

    Now, that is an interesting question. Let me make it little more confusing.
    Is it ok to have a phone worth some Rs.2000 , with nothing more than call + sms facility ?

    Or spend a little more to add an FM receiver to it ?

    Should I have a color handset like my friends ?

    What will girls think of me if my Mobile has no camera in it ?

    When they compare the clarity of photos, I will  need a 3.2 MP camera on mine .. so I should spend a little more on that right ?

    What if I don’t have enough space to store music ….

    Now, let me ask you again … how much should we spend on a mobile phone ?
