    need a netbook..

    Better go for the Samsung N148 model instead of N150(N148 comes with DOS and no bluetooth, rest is same as N150). Its cheaper and if you really want bluetooth, you can get a dongle for as little as 100 bucks. As far as dvd writer goes, well you have to buy that separately.

    Which one is better vBulletin or IPB

    Right now, vbulletin is not worth investing your money in. What you will get is a "alpha" software that is frankly being marketed as gold. There are major issues with css and the code is neither here nor there (in terms of full oop). They are constantly changing the base code itself so its...

    EBook Readers: Need Advice on Kindle

    ^^ Its basically a reassembled version. Its certainly cheaper than the rest. The only thing to be careful about is the display and whether it would last long enough. With Kindle and PRS you know that enough testing has been done and now a level of reliability has been reached(which wasn't the...

    EBook Readers: Need Advice on Kindle

    If you are in it to read pdf's then you should know some things 1) the kindle 2 (or for that matter sony prs or any other) will not be able to render most of the pdf's well. The margin crop allows some increase in screen real estate but that's about it. If the pdf has images and is in double...

    Apple launches 'iPad'

    If only people had a bit of realistic expectations with this :lol: Everyone just assumed you were going to get a notebook replacement at 500$? Was highly unlikely. At 1000$, highly likely. But there was a pricing issue that was to be considered. Some of the key sticky issues are open to being...

    Apple launches 'iPad'

    Comparing to the wrong kindle there. You get to do all of what Kindle does in colour. Initial reviews say the experience of "iBook" is exceptional. Add to that the fact that you can do some other on the move tasks better, its gonna give Amazon a run for its money. Or amazon can just decrease...

    Apple launches 'iPad'

    Compare it to a ebook reader and its a decent enough deal. KindleDx has never impressed anyone and as a pdf, full colour reader with lot of other capability, this is a KindleDx killer (yes inspite of the latter having eink)

    Cheap tactics by Airtel : (May 2009)ISD rates increased many folds

    Thankfully the main international destinations are still at 6.4Rs. 45Rs rates are a bit too much. I agree.

    Sony PRS-505: Paper Books are out, eInk is in!

    Assumptions won't land you anywhere. I tend to buy stuff btw. Don't think everyone around you is downloading illegally off the net. If you were a book lover, you would have happened to know that there are many books that are now "freely available" under license by the authors that donot make it...

    Sony PRS-505: Paper Books are out, eInk is in!

    Thats a dumb comment. A real book lover knows that not all books are available in "book" format and if you are a connoisseur of old and rare books, an ebook-reader is your only saviour. The same cannot be said about most other devices tallked about here which do indeed fall into the broad...

    Sony PRS-505: Paper Books are out, eInk is in!

    Apple is going to announce its foray into the field soon. So better wait. ;) KindleDX is an option for you, but at 500$, its way too overpriced. Have you considered any of the MID's coming out and some of them are excellent choices for reading pdf's. They are no eink, but offer excellent...

    Sony PRS-505: Paper Books are out, eInk is in!

    Its not very good. The pdf's are the only big worry as far as this segment goes. I had purchased my PRS 500 as soon as it came out only to read pdf's. Sadly if that is your intention none of the present crop of ebook-readers render pdf documents well. For starters the font change is a big...

    Duck Tales in Hindi?

    If one can get it from UTV directly, i will be interested too :) Its one of my favourite cartoon shows. And one of the few where the Hindi translation came out way better than the English(others Being talespin and Small Wonder)
