10 New Year wishes for 2009

December 31st, 2008

Things we didn’t get in 2008, things we always wanted and what we can expect / ask from 2009!

1. Orkut grow up. Till when will you run in Beta? Same for Gmail, stop calling it beta now.

2. Sony Ericsson – Will Sony ever open up and go universal? A step forward and then a step back. Why doesnt the C902 and C905 accept MicroSD cards like the K850i? See 10 things that Sony Screwed Up

3. Palm: Hope Nova lives up to our expectations. Ready to dump Nokia anyday for a good Palm

4. Apple: Will you award us a iPhone – Unlocked (at a affordable price) ? Tired of all the Jailbreaking & Unlocking along with the cat and mouse game with firmwares. Give away a good iPhone all open (maybb Nano). Or a completely reworked one with Flash, Better camera and a laser gun :P

5. Nokia – Would you please relaunch the Nokia 8850? Please Please Please {Update: OK, I got a hate mail from Shaun on this; He still curses me for gifting my 8850 in college to someone :) }

Unforgettable 2008 – OG Special

December 31st, 2008

2008 has been a fantastic year for OnlyGizmos and personally for our team members. With all the time we spent together running around for coverage and at the same time managing our slim finances; we seem to have grown several years older :P

Here are some of our best moments of 2008, thank you for all the love and support:

  1. The year started on a high with excellent coverage of the IIT TechFest. Jimmy Wales interview and more.
  2. The OG 1st Anniv in May was memorable and we had 1/3 of a million hits till then
  3. Our Editor Annkur P Agarwal was invited to write the Cover Story on Gadgets for One India One People, something that makes us feel really special
  4. Around the same time we also Partnered IIIT Hyderabad RoboCamp
  5. After hitting several technical issues and a dull phase we managed to shift to WordPress towards the end of the year. Thanks to Asif (Cubex Systems, Pakistan) and OGz Mohit for all the technical support.
  6. The year had began with another small venture iPhone Help; that was the brain child of our own Piyansh Mantry and Tassavur Shaikh. While OG hit a rough patch IPHelp worked and we are proud that it has made a name for itself. From being a part of OG to being the strongest link of the OG Network
  7. Another cheer towards the year end was the MPSTME Taqneeq 08, where we were again the official Online Media Partners. We had a wonderful outing, reminded us of the IIT TechFest
