Hi All,

I would like to show that how mobile phone VAS is becoming integral part of our life. This post is not about "Playboy" magazine or HUGH HAFNER...!!

It's all about HIV/AIDS campaign in India. The NACO - National AIDS control organization of India with BBC support started an AIDS awareness campaign and surprisingly they came up with an idea of Ringtone. The ringtone was hit and it was downloaded 1.5 lac times in just 10 days..

Hi,

I visited the details of Android, At first impression it seems a change for mobile users but nothing new by them. simply a phone with few google products at the initial stage. People will not waste their time to learn again something based on java. Android will take few years to build a community like FN.

The best part of Android is opensource. Nokia can also open upto some extent, as its finally a business winning race. The negative part of android is it looks like a computer kindda interface, they are not able to bit Nokia-symbian a truly mobile OS. Coding also seems a bit tedious task in android, while nokia's python for series 60 is open source and Rapid application development.

I would like to say no need to worry Nokia developers just be careful of new comer, The market share, operator support, developers worldwide and great community of Forum nokia are the big PLUS for Nokia. I think android will take decade to reach here, and in this decade Nokia symbian will always be ahead of it. I would end up with an example -- The new android can be a threat for second and third position between iphone and gphone.

The bandwidth in India Nokia is in favor of it, neither apple nor google have the talent to create a new network, it would require someone like Nokia Siemens Network to do that hardware, software.

Google Phone seems like a phone preloaded with google tools, just like the iphone is really just a phone preloaded with ipot stuff. Neither of them have anything new.

What Google and Apple brought out was Marketing.

Nokia still remains at the top. Let them fight...!!
