No more Facebook for Indian Army

The Indian Army is reported to have issued orders asking all its men, officers and other ranks, who had joined social networking sites like Facebook or Orkut earlier to immediately quit them. Those who have not joined such social networking sites have also been directed not to be available in such sites in future.

As per sources, Indian Army had been monitoring their officers if they were posting any pictures of themselves or their units in uniform or their weaponry. However it has now been decided that none of their men would be allowed to join such sites, so that there is no possibility of information leakage.

Strict actions are expected if any violations to this directive are done, sources stated.

A mobile battery life of 15 years!

LONDON, JAN 10 (IANS): SpareOne’s mobile phone comes with a battery life of 15 years, whether you charge it or not and is designed for emergencies.

[caption id="attachment_6308" align="aligncenter" width="590" caption="SpareOne’s mobile phone comes with a battery life of 15 years, whether you charge it or not and is designed for emergencies."][/caption]

It runs on one AA battery, and claims to keep its charge for up to 15 years, something unthinkable for feature-laden phones with batteries that last only a few days.

The SpareOne can be programmed for instant access to phone numbers of key contacts, including emergency services in any location.
As the phone’s developer, XPAL Power, says: “It’s essentially designed to make and receive the most important calls, no matter what.”

The SpareOne’s is also able to automatically transmit its location via its mobile ID, plus has a built-in torch -- and unlike so many of today’s gadgets, it even comes with the AA battery included.

The new phone, unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, is designed as a ‘backup’ phone you can keep in the glove compartment for emergencies.

The idea is that you can keep it there without worrying if it’s charged or not. Many modern mobiles will lose their charge over time, even if switched off. Its makers say that SpareOne is ideal to leave in the car for emergencies, or to pack in travel luggage – especially if you or your loved ones plan to go off the beaten track (or off-piste).

The SpareOne can be pre-programmed for instant access to phone numbers of key contacts, including the relevant emergency services in any location. That single battery offers a talk time of up to 10 hours.

Aakash booking hits record, 14 lakhs in 14 days

NEW DELHI, JAN 3 (AGENCIES): The online bookings for the world’s cheapest tablet, Aakash, have increased to 14 lakh units in only two weeks after it was opened for sale online on NCarry.com. Onlline booking of Aakash tablet had started on NCarry.com, an online shopping site, on December 15, last year.

The low-cost Android tablet comes with a price of Rs,499 along with Rs199 shipping charges for online booking although there are reports that the customers might also be given the option for cash on delivery.

The seven-inch touch screen tablet flaunts of features such as 256 megabytes of RAM, ARM 11 processor with the Android 2.2 operating system, two USB ports and HD-quality video. The current version of Aakash has a battery life of about 1.5 hours.

Bajaj unveils 4-wheeler, Renault-Nissan talks planned

NEW DELHI, JAN 3 (AGENCIES): Bajaj Auto Ltd launched its first-ever four-wheeled vehicle on Tuesday, saying the RE60 would target commercial users and three-wheeled vehicle owners in India, and that production could involve Nissan and Renault.

The unveiling of the four-seater RE60 ended months of rumours that have buzzed around India’s auto industry on the nature of the vehicle, which promises low carbon emissions and fuel efficiency, the company said in a much-anticipated launch.
The vehicle resembles an over-sized hatchback with an elevated roof .

Bajaj is India’s second-largest two-wheeled vehicle maker, and is the world’s leader in the three-wheeled vehicle segment, which includes the popular rickshaw taxis used across Asia’s third-largest economy.

France’s Renault SA and Japan’s Nissan Motor Co, who worked with Bajaj on developing what was slated to be an ultra low-cost minicar, will decide on co-operation on the RE60 in the next few days, Bajaj Managing Director Ravi Bajaj told reporters.

“At no point we intended to be contract manufacturers for Renault-Nissan... With small or big modification, we can supply to Renault-Nissan if they wish,” Bajaj said.
“They have not seen the product... If Renault-Nissan were to walk away, that is also fine with us.”

Renault-Nissan will view the vehicle for the first time at this year’s India Auto Expo, Bajaj added. The event, held once every two years, begins in New Delhi on Thursday.
The RE60 will be manufactured in Bajaj’s plant in Aurangabad in western India, and will be made available to customers in the next few months, Bajaj said.
Shares in the automaker, which opened strongly in anticipation of the RE60 launch, were up 0.3% at Rs 1480 in early afternoon trading. The overall market was up about 2%.

Aakash tablet goes on sale for Rs 2500 online

NEW DELHI: Datawind, the maker of the world's cheapest tablet has put up for sale about 30,000 tablets online at a price of Rs 2500 each, with a delivery period of seven days.

The seven inch tablet with Android 2.2 is now available through its portal aakashtablet.com. "We have put up on sale about 30,000 tablets online, which will have a cash on delivery of 7 days. We have achieved pre-sale orders of about 400,000 tablets from individuals and corporates. But current supplies will only be limited for individual buyers," Datawind CEO and founder Suneet Singh Tuli told ET.

Aakash's next commercial version called the Ubislate 7, which has a faster processor, is slated to be launched late January. Ubislate 7 is set to have a 700 Mhz processor compared to the 366 MHz processor in Aakash. Ubislate 7 will be priced at Rs 3000 for sale online.

Datawind though seems to be struggling with customer service issues for online retail, even though the sale is only for a limited number of tablets.

According to sources, the Indian government is also planning to provide a new specification for Aakash, which may come with a faster processor and better battery life. The current version of Aakash has a battery life of about 1.5 hours. An email to the Ministry of Human Resource and Development, which is supplying the tablets to schools and colleges remained unanswered.

The government till now procured only 10,000 tablets. It has still not procured the remaining 90,000 tablets for distribution in schools and colleges, even as other nations have expressed interest to the government for similar low-cost computing initiatives.

PSLV-C18 puts four satellites in orbit

Along with Indo-French satellite Megha-Tropiques, PSLV-C18 rocket on Wednesday successfully placed in orbit three nano satellites —VesselSat1-1 from Luxembourg, SRMSat from SRM University, Chennai, and Jugnu from IIT, Kanpur

India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C18) demonstrated its reliability once again when it put successfully four satellites in orbit on Wednesday. The satellites were: Megha-Tropiques, an Indo-French satellite to study the weather and climate in the tropical region of the world; SRMSat built by the students of SRM university, near Chennai; Jugnu, built by the students of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur; and Vesselsat from Luxembourg. This was the 19th consecutively successful mission of the PSLV out of 20 launches from 1993.

It was a flawless a mission with the PSLV-C18 rising from the first launch pad at the spaceport at Sriharikota at the scheduled time of 11 a.m. As the vehicle sped up from the launch pad, it disappeared briefly into the clouds to knife out into the sky again. Applause broke out in the Mission Control Centre as the four stages of the vehicle ignited on time and fell into the Bay of Bengal. At the end of more than 21 minutes of flight, the PSLV-C18 first catapulted the 1,000 kg Megha-Tropiques satellite into a precise orbit at an altitude of 867 km. The satellite was slung into orbit at a velocity of more than 26,000 km an hour. A few seconds later, SRMSat flew out, followed by VesselSat and Jugnu.

Consistency

K. Radhakrishnan, chairman, Indian Space Research Organistion (ISRO) called it “a grand success". P.S. Veeraraghavan, Director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, said the latest success demonstrated the consistency of the PSLV rocket. S. Ramakrishnan, Director, Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, ISRO, described the flight as “one more magnificent mission from the PSLV.”

Dr. G. Raju, project Director, Megha-Tropiques, said the satellite’s solar-panels had deployed and the satellite was in good health. The satellite would have a life-span of five years. T.K. Alex, Director, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore, said that even though SRMSat and Jugnu were small satellites, they were complex spacecraft built by the students.

Predicting the monsoon

Megha-Tropiques, with four scientific instruments, will help in predicting the Indian monsoons, floods, cyclones and droughts, besides estimating the weather in the short-term and climate in the long-term in the tropical countries of the world. The 11-kg SRMSat will address the problem of global-warming and the pollution levels in the atmosphere by monitoring the carbon-dioxide present there. The 3-kg Jugnu isa remote-sensing satellite that will minor vegetation and water-bodies. VesselSat will help in locating ships cruising in the sea-lanes of the world.

The $35 tablet, made in India

Sonia Bhaskar, October 4, 2011: It has been a cause of curiosity, speculation and even ridicule in the world of technology. Some called it a revolutionary product, some called it a dream that will never be realized. Others simply wrote it off, calling it vaporware, saying making a tablet in $35 is impossible, since the touchscreen itself costs that much.

But the initiative undertaken by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development is all set to be realized tomorrow.

The Ministry is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the final product lives up to the hype and expectations surrounding the $35 tablet.

NDTV Gadget Guru has been following the evolution of this tablet right fro'm the prototype stage. We believe that the final product will be very different fro'm what the world has seen or knows about it till now. It will be interesting to see how close the final price of the tablet will be to the much touted $35 mark. It will no doubt be the cheapest tablet and have a shockingly low price, but our guess is that it will be priced slightly higher than the $35 mark.

It will retain the positives of the original concept behind this device. The fact that it is assembled here in India will give it the "Made in India" tag. The fact that it will pack in a lot of content targeted primarily at students but not restricted to this consumer base alone. It has the potential to make internet and its benefits accessible to a population where computer and internet penetrations are still very low.

Our fear, is that there will be some compromises on the hardware front to keep the price in check. The screen is sure to be a resistive one. And like the prototype we saw it is going to be a wi-fi only device for now. The first lot of the tablets released may not have the camera and the stylus (which we had seen in the prototype last year).

But the makers of the tablet believe that once the volume of production picks up, they will be able to provide upgrades to the hardware and also pack in more feature within this price.

Kapil Sibal and his team behind this project, believe that the roadmap ahead is to take this Made in India product out into the international market to benefit people, especially students across the globe, particularly in developing countries.
