We already saw the fight Nokia is putting up to fight the chinese mobiles. In the last 1-2 year s these handsets have flooded the local markets and ruined the low-end cream that the industry was growing on since the last 5 years.
And here comes the fight from the Indian govt to tackle the unbranded phones without legal IMEI. It is believed that these phones are widely used by terrorists. Earlier the govt had directed the telecos to disconnect mobile handsets on their network without proper IMEI by 6th Jan 2009. However the deadline has now been expanded till 31 March 2009.

Apple is surely getting popular in India. And now we have started to see some really good variants of its products, which I am sure even Steve Jobs wouldn’t have seen!
The image above is actually an advertisement of the product which we spotted behind a BEST bus. Wasn’t too easy to take a pic following it on the bike. But this clearly shows the logo and the brand name! Check their homepage.
Your comments welcome below!

FSJ: Fake Steve Jobs, Yes we haven’t been tracking this one on OnlyGeek but i thought its good enough to post the climax.
For the last 14 months, high-tech insiders have been eating up the work of an anonymous blogger who assumed the persona of Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive and one of the world’s most famous businessmen.
The acerbic postings of Fake Steve, as he is known, have attracted a plugged-in readership both the real Mr. Jobs and Bill Gates have acknowledged reading the blog (http://www.fakesteve.blogspot.com). At the same time, Fake Steve had evaded the best efforts of Silicon Valley’s gossips to discover his real identity.
So whos he really?
Daniel Lyons, a senior editor at Forbes magazine who lives near Boston, has been quietly enjoying the attention.
I am stunned that it’s taken this long, said Mr. Lyons, 46, when a reporter interrupted his vacation in Maine on Sunday to ask him about Fake Steve. I have not been that good at keeping it a secret. I have been sort of waiting for this call for months.?
Mr. Lyons receives around 50 e-mail messages a day through the blog, many with ideas for posts, and says the site had 700,000 visitors last month. Recently someone claiming to be Mr. Jobs’s daughter, Lisa, wrote to tell him,You don’t sound at all like my father, but your blog is hilarious.
FSJ once replied to a question on his succession plans (Who takes over when you leave?)
“The truth is, I am not human — I am a man-god, son of Zeus (in photo above; please note resemblance), born to mortal woman but fathered by the ruler of the gods, lord of thunder. If I do leave, Apple shuts down. Immediately. No guff. It’s in my contract.”
