Apple's iPhone Yes its official.

Vodafone today announced it has signed an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten of its markets around the globe. Later this year, Vodafone customers in Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey will be able to purchase the iPhone for use on the Vodafone network.

Speculation has it that they may launch the 2G version first to clear the stocks and only then think about launching the 3G version. HTC Touch I just hope India will have 3G services soon and we will get to see a 3G iPhone. Once that happens I can evaluate it to see if it fits my needs.

Presently, I am pretty happy with my HTC Touch running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. It works like a charm :)

A friend is coming over from Mumbai. I won’t be able to make it on Day 2. Hope you guys continue to have the fun :)
Guys keep blogging, tweeting, qiking, photomugging :)

The session was lead by Prof. Suresh from NSRCEL. The session was pretty good and a lot of good discussion happened. One thing I did not like was that the focus was more on the IIM students and what they had to say. Many times the responses from other people were gently ignored which is probably not a good thing. They could have done it that way on some day without the other barcampers :)

BCB6: Agile Thought Process

It wasn’t a scheduled session. We had finished lunched early and were free. Thats how the session started. It was one of the best sessions so far. Good one, Naresh. :)

The presentation is supposed to be at his website. I haven’t found it yet. Let me know if you find it :)

BCB6: Kwippy

The projector isn’t working in the room (L22).

It is a micro-blogging app intended for close friends and more.

It wasn’t interesting enough. The quality of tech sessions seems to have deteriorated a bit compared to the previous barcamps. Perhaps the only good session going on right now is the series on RIA’s. There are 5 back to back sessions on it, but I am not interested in RIA/ Flex/ AIR/ blah blah. Let me find something else going on.

Had a general discussion about Logos. He is using Corel Draw to do a live logo design. Good time to check my email but there were some good points that came out :)

BCB6: Finally the WiFi works

I hope to see meet the following people and more:

Yes, Philip Parker of Insead has managed that.

NYT said that he is laying the groundwork for romance novels generated by new algorithms. Its okay as long as the books primarily have those wild numbers crunched, graphs etc but a romance novel?

I wonder what Shakespeare, and others would have said about it.

Sameek starts to blog!

Yay! Sameek is now experimenting with his blog. I sincerely hope that he will blog regularly and soon write some great stuff for us to read. Here is the customary first post.
