This is my first post from the iPhone. The wordpress iPhone app is just awesome. You can even write a post in landscape mode making it really easy to type.
So, lot more short posts ahead.

Palm Pre is the another smart phone which I am eagerly waiting for. Palm is not a very famous mobile company. In India, I think this brand is totally unheard of. However, Palm Pre is the next big thing by Palm and should soon see it’s presence in India.
Palm doesn’t have a great history of support with Macs. Would Palm Pre work with iSync or would apple leisurely delay adding support for it. I wish Palm makes an OSX application for address book and iCal sync instead of depending on application like iSync.
Reliance iStore has now opened up in chennai. Reliance communications is the new Apple reseller and authorized service partner for Apple. Considering their reach Apple is taking big strides to penetrate in India. I haven’t visited the store yet but have heard that is big and they don’t let you take pictures of the machines. Designer technology, huh?

We have quite a lot Apple Macbooks in office now and have had some trouble with 2 of them so far. We used services of Datalogics and Ample technologies. Datalogic turned out to be a complete rip off. They would ask you to replace parts even before diagnosing the problem. Relatively, Ample Technologies is lot more friendly and professional in dealing with the issues.

iPhone in India is priced at 31,000 for 8GB model and 36,100 for 16GB model.
I have switched from my good old Sony Ericsson k750i to HTC touch diamond. It’s a neat sleek phone, sleeker than iPhone but definitely not as good. Wanted to give my last shot to a windows based smart phone before I get my Airtel based iPhone.
HTC Touch Diamond comes with 6 months GPRS Service from airtel with a download limit of 50/MB per month. To enable it you need to TEXT ‘HTC’ to 54321. Didn’t really work for me though. I have raised a case with Airtel. Surprising no one at Airtel was aware about this offer with HTC Diamond. Grrrr!
Update: I returned my HTC Touch Diamond after 7 days of purchase. I didn’t like it. I am using an iPhone now.
The best recipe for clutter free Mac desktop!
My (real) desk is usually mess and my desktop (mac) gets equally messy later during the day. Exposé doesn’t help the mess much. And little look around helped me discover the ‘god sent’ Sticky Window for Mac.

Yeah, that’s right. KK finally made a switch from Dell to Mac. Welcome to the club Karthik!
Apple is likely to bring out it’s much awaiting and rumored iPhone. Porbably it would be called iTalk. I am tempted to change over from my Sony k750i to k790i but this rumor keeps me away.
