Apple’s IPhone is Here!

Yes, I know, I am late with this piece of news. But, then it was a hard one to miss. So, here goes my brief take on the most awaited phone of the year. Apple’s iPhone was released by Steve Jobs, yesterday at Macworld. And, it won’t be any exaggeration to say that, the hype has just turned real and it has successfully captivated everyone’s attention with its slim looks and powerful spec list. The iPhone is just 11.6 millimeters thick and it features a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 2 megapixel camear, 4GB and 8 GB of storage, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi, GSM radio with EDGE and a slew of other features. And, when it’s from Apple, it has got iPod cababilities with touch controls and sync with iTunes. The iPhone is compatible with Mac OS X with support for widgets, Google Maps, Mail, Safari, Google search, Yahoo! Search. This Cingular exclusive phone will start shipping to US in June, 2007, Europe in 4th Quarter, 2007, and Asia in 2008 for a price of $499 for the 4GB version, or $599 for the 8GB version. But, just one question…why it’s not a 3G!

Virgin Atlantic To Offer Hi-Tech Goodies To Luxury Travelers

Does the name of Sir Richard Branson tickles a bell with you! Remember, we earlier told you about his luxurious Virgin Galactic Spaceship that will carry a celebrity crew to space in his spaceflight that will begin in 2009. Now, what if you can’t make it to his spaceflight crew, you can enjoy flying in his aircraft, Virgin Atlantic, that’s no less luxurious then his spacecraft, (that is, if you don’t mind the destination factor).

The luxury airbus provides its travelers a unique flying experience with the slew of hi-tech features including a Linux-based PC at every seat with a 9-inch monitor, a 110 volt jack to charge your electronics, USB port, Ethernet jack, an OMG-worthy entertainment system called “RED” which stores about 3000 MP3 tracks, live TV via Dish Network, on-board email / IM / chat, a facility to play multi-player games with other passengers, a QWERTY keyboard to play games like DOOM. The first class passengers even get a RJ-45 jack to plug-in their laptop and get connected. Now, if you have made up your mind to get your seat booked in this plush aircraft, the only hitch is US DOTs decision to disallow Virgin Atlantic from taking flight on American soil. Though, the airline is trying its best to get this decision reversed, it is asking for the public support to help them in this luxury cause, so, go and register your protest too!
