Maruti Cervo Car to be less than 2 lakh Rupees

Maruti is launching the car Cervo to repeat the success of Maruti 800 and Maruti Alto.
  • Cervo which is a five-door hatchback model has a spacious passenger cabin.
  • The Cervo comes equipped with a 0.7L, 660cc petrol engine.
  • Cervo can produce maximum power of 60bhp.
  • The very high fuel efficiency(mileage) is one of the USPs of this car.
When will the car be available for purchase. ?
The answer to this Q is difficult as no one knows for sure. Some websites report it is May or June 2010. I think it will start the book by that time to roll them out by this year end.

TATA DOCOMO DIVE-IN WAP service Rs 15.0/- deducted by Virus?

UPDATE(3rd Feb 2010) : 
 With the help of http://twitter.com/tatadocomo  I got back the GPRS charges which have been wrongly deducted (deducted when phone was not in use+offer recharge was activated too). The charges deducted for downloading something as shown below is still pending.

Today (31 Jan 2010 ) a message from TaTaDocomo came in mobile from short code 52250.
Thanks for downloading Video: Ritu 01 on TATA DOCOMO DIVE-IN WAP service. You've have been charged Rs 15.0/-.
The second SMS after a few seconds.
 Thanks for downloading Video: Theatrical Promo 01 on TATA DOCOMO DIVE-IN WAP service. You have been charged Rs.15/-

Als my money was even being deducted while callin the customer care as GPRS use also. I had GPRS offer pack with data+day validity:) 

This is not due to a virus attack or any action from my mobile. My mobile don't have WAP settings or TATA DOCOMO DIVE-IN Access point. Also I have done Rs.95 offer recharge for using GPRS and it had balance.

The reason is still not clear.

I just checked the orkut Tata Docomo community and was shocked to find that the same happened for another guy two days before in Cochin.

Reply to : Why The iPad Won't Work for India

Re: http://tech2.in.com/india/topstuff/mac-systems/why-the-ipad-wont-work-for-india/106832/0?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email
Reply to : Why The iPad Won't Work for India

The Cons -
3G technology still seems like quite far ahead into the future and the micro SIM isn’t even here yet. So we can stick to Wi-Fi of course but hot spots still aren’t very easy to come by.
Re:Wifi hotspots are not the only places you get Wi-fi. You can opt for the BSNL Wireless Modem which creates Wifi at home or office. Most of the companies have at least one private Wi-fi. Most of the junctions in India have open Wi-fi networks.
The iPad also doesn’t support tethering so it’s not like you can connect your iPhone or other handset to the device to use EDGE or GPRS.
This is just a matter of time before someone does this. Also without 3G or Wifi the experience will be poor.

In this country we love cameras. Taking pictures is a big deal. If an expensive handset like the iPhone could incorporate a 2MP camera, why isn’t this one equipped with one.
I think this will be there in iPad 2.0 . Moreover taking pictures in not only a big deal in India but everywhere. Since iPad is not a replacement for mobile you will have the mobile to take pictures. A person with iPad is not going to have Nokia 1100 anyway.
 
The Keypad is not optimized for the MultiTouch display. It’s such a large screen so it could have had a full keyboard like UI and have the use of Shift+ or Ctrl+ functions enabled.
Only Indians have problem with keyboard?

Quite a few Indian sites incorporate the use of Flash technology, including ours. Apple’s browser doesn’t support this content.
Who knows flash plugin might not come up. In Safari the plugin can be made to work.

The Pen drive and portable hard drive is a very necessary tool for us and with a device like this that has no USB ports or memory card slots it’s just not going to work.
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology can be used. Also since you will be Wi-Lan, why do you want USB? Please don't think cheap tech2 guys.. Also this does not justify the title.
Another fact is Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable is there  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/A



Let’s face it, the Indian mentality is to get as much done as we can in a given time, multitasking is therefore part of our personality. The iPad isn’t capable of multitasking. No wonder reports are talking about how quickly things open and close as the processor isn’t really doing too much, except running one thing at a time.
This is a real disadvantage but this is not only for India, almost all need to run multiple applications at once.I think this will be fixed in next software update, like apple introduced cut paste between applications.

The worst part is that it’s going to be tied in with iTunes. Which means each device can only be synced to one computer. So if you're thinking of getting stuff from your office PC to your home the iPad is not the solution.
Are you kidding? You are going to put things purchased from iTunes to be put in office PC ? Come on man.

This may be a neat looking device but it’s not something you’d see an Indian businessman whip out at a meeting. Pictures of his family ok, presentations I doubt it. It’s not professional enough.
Wait and watch. Don't be prejudiced. Don't spread rumours.
