The much rumored and leaked plastic body E71 aka Nokia E63 is now official. E63 offers 3G but no GPS or HSDPA. Available in two colors ruby red and ultramarine blue; I might trade in my E61i for this one!
Whilst appealing to a new group of consumers with a design that feels great in the hand and has two new colors, the Nokia E63 is still very much a member of the Eseries family. Petersen continues, “People use Eseries to access their corporate mail, review their calendar and work in their business network, so the Nokia E63 still includes Wi-Fi connectivity, easy access to Mail for Exchange and dedicated key access to contacts, calendar and email.”
The Nokia E63 also includes Files on Ovi, a service where people can get remote access to their PC files even when their computer is offline. Anyone buying the handset will have access to 1GB of online file storage for free.

Yes we are late to write on this, but we sure have some story to tell. iPhone will surely go down in the history books as one of the most hyped gadgets. And when its such a substance with good hype things do get spicy! Here is the showdown of the Apple iPhone 3G launch:
- Almost all iPhone service providers around the world are expecting record sales.
- Apple and Rogers faced downtime: Rogers brings the iPhone to Canada and the mad demand for the iPhone crashed their systems, resulting in a outage. Not surprising? Well then the Apple iTunes Registering system failure left millions of iPhones BRICKED. Many new buyers for the iPhone were sent back with unactivated device as the system was down. Adding to the traffic was the iPhone 1st gen customers upgrading to the iPhone Firmware V2.0.
- The transition form .mac to MobileMe the new seamless data integration service from Apple was delayed. And went online late.
- Many AT&T stores and later the Apple Stores then turned back customers apparently due to stock issues. Though TechCrunch suspected that the iPhone shortage might have been fake, here is the complete picture at iPhoneHelp.
- Not too concerning but some reports of defective LCD (like last time)
- Bad news for Apple that the iPhone 3G reviews have given a THUMBS DOWN to the BATTERY life. read the review
- The AppStore is live and is a Super Hit as expected! More on the AppStore here
- So here we are awaiting the second wave of iPhone 3G launch across the globe, Stay tuned!

Urban skylines are changing in India – in cyberspace too. Global Internet services company Yahoo! Inc – headquartered in Sunnyvale, California has launched a new series of networks covering urban Indian areas in cyberspace.
Called Our City, this three-month-old network is “a dynamic representation of content created by you and everyone else”.
Currently, this venture covers an A-to-V of Indian cities – Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Coimbatore, Goa, Guwahati, Hubli, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Madurai, Mangalore, Mumbai, Mysore, Nagpur, Patna, Puducherry, Pune, Ranchi, Shimla, Srinagar, Thiruvananthapuram and Visakhapatnam.
Our City can be used to explore photos, videos, events, news, weather, blogs and a lot more. It also allows one to share events, photos, videos, plan trips and blogs.
“This is the new generation of the web – city content of the users, by the users and for the users,” Sreekanth said.
What is the response so far?
“Very good,” said Sreekanth. “The product is continuously evolving. Over 50 detailed blog posts have written about it. User feedback has been very positive and we have got several requests for new cities to be added.”
Users are increasingly looking for content that is local to them, Yahoo! holds.
“We are trying to answer the following question ‘how local, interesting, engaging and useful can the internet become’ and this is an attempt to answer this question on a large scale,” according to Sreekanth.
Yahoo! says it is trying to aggregate useful content in many forms – text, photos, video – about the city from various sources and present it to users in an “interesting manner”.
This product ties in various services (maps, the photo-oriented flickr.com service, and the bookmarks-based del.icio.us), all of which were successful net-based services, and some that were bought up by Yahoo!
Users can participate in Our City in several ways. They can post photos, videos, posts on message boards and also write trip plans. “We will be beefing up features further,” Sreekanth said.
Rights of the contributors will be fully respected, assures Yahoo! “We show only excerpts of the content and fully acknowledge the source of the content. Further, we hyperlink the content to the original source,” said the organisation.
Yahoo! has released “close to 30 city versions” in less than three months. Sreekanth said: “We will continue to add more features and city editions. Bangalore and Delhi are the most successful cities in India. These cities have a sizeable Internet audience and this explains their popularity.
“The quality and quantity of online content available for a city varies widely across countries and is a bigger challenge for developing countries. The product was conceived in a company internal innovation contest (called Hackday) and was quickly ‘productised’ considering the potential of the idea.”
Recently We also saw a similar service CitiPals (http://www.citipals.com) check it out.
