Phone wars continue

There was a time a few months back when iPhone was the favorite kid of all bloggers of all shapes and sizes. Even I copied a ‘sillies‘ from Ctrl Alt Del in this mad fever.

I am not a phone geek. I do not trip on phones, their weight, their look and feel and apps. However, I do believe that the Blackberry is a pretty cool gadget. I am buying a blackberry too. My N73 sucks a lot of ass. The phone has lost the very basics too. It fails to call or send text messages. I have to switch the phone off at times to read a bloody text message too. Even missed a nice chick’s call who wanted to hang around with me.

Joy of Tech did a very neat comic on iPhone vs. Google Android recently.

Google Phone is much cooler than the iphone

Fuck you iPhone seems to be the deal here. Loving the concept. Cut down the hype. Sure Steve Jobs got some neat gadget ready for launch soon. I know – the Macbook Pro.(new one) with two video cards and all.

But yes, phones should focus more on the functionality than other jazz to lure your clients.

Answer the following questions.

1. Can you do X on your phone?
2. How much time and effort to do X?
3. Can you easily update X to X + dX?
4. Does your phone tire out / show fatigue after performing X + dX?
5. Does your phone do X and Y at the same time?
6. Is your phone so simple that it cannot be made simpler (Zen)?

iPhone – the Ctrl Alt Del way

iphone big deal yeah

I am sick and tired of all this iPhone jazz!

What’s kickin bro?

Was making this funny effort of seeing whats kicking these days in the online space.

Quite a few funny things I should say. The ‘Entrpreneur bug’ seems to have bitten people all over the place. Top Execs from Google leaves to kick Google in its ass (Yeah please)! Coming out with Cuil was such a bitch. It sucks! Sucks like a bad man!

Education! That’s right.

Kerala Govt. is thinking of bombarding people with IIT and IISc material in Railway Stations.

“Oh, the bloody Kannur Express is late. Let me just check out the Fourier Transforms! “

“Damn Cool man! Quantum Physics is so much fun. Wait! Here comes my train”

On the other hand, all sorts of junta is trying to get our well deserving students to Americas and the Europes – GRE / GMAT / SAT wahtever. All of them – served hot! It is even getting some weird sort of “I love human beings (and hence need a lot of money” deal. Not bad! Not bad!

iPhone and 3G! Every Tom, Dick and Harry got some shit or the other tied up behind the iPhone. Man, I really need one? If not, will I die a meaningless death. Without the iPhone, where will my self respect be? God! Please bless me with the iPhone. Please! Please! DUH!!!

Search – all forms of them! Localised Search, voice based search, in your room search, on your face search, even cuil!

Social bookmarking.

“Yeah! they removed the dots from del.icio.us.”

“Check this out. Tags which gives out more details”

“Ha ha fucker! I got monetization, social media, facebook app and a new iPhone Beat that”

Well! Internet. The playground. Is some Avtar of Vishnu (kalki types) or some gonna come and clean up the place? Or maybe J.C. (part 2) – straight from the cross etc. etc.
