    Amazon coming to India next year!

    Junglee will operate like eBay until FDI in multi brand retail is allowed. So no warehouses or Amazon's reputed delivery or customer support.

    ^ I'll probably do the same, just waiting for someone who's coming from US to carry it here for me.

    Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 Indian 2.3.6 released

    ^ I also experienced the restart-for-no-reason, haven't seen it for months. Still can't comment on battery life because I've been playing Paladog like crazy over the past week and I've never played many games on the S2 before (aside from a little Angry Birds).

    The Android Sham

    Sorry, I meant stock iOS vs. stock Android (both not rooted / jailbroken). Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    The Android Sham

    ^ No way, iOS lacks customization options and same goes for Metro too. Android wins in that department without rooting. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Buying the Kindle.

    I tried to check, Amazon won't allow check out for kindle touch unless you are in US. So you cant buy one yourself and hence won't get any support/warranty even if you buy from other sellers online. If someone still wants to buy one from eBay the delivery time is around 25 days. If something...

    Thanks, so an ad-supported touch would cost around 9k with the current exchange rates. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 Indian 2.3.6 released

    ^ heard its around 300MB. I hope the battery life has improved because I didn't like the UI changes (no bounce in overscroll, bold font). The updated Swype insists on showing word suggestions in a box that keeps changing the input box size. And of course the new silent mode button change which...

    Kindle touch, I have an Amazon account but its set to US zone. I did not want to create another one just to see duty charges. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Buying the Kindle.

    Yeah, it won't be Kindle Touch but I just wanted to know how much is the duty. With the high exchange rate and duty ($70 I read somewhere) it still might come close to 10k.

    Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 Indian 2.3.6 released

    Anyone updated their I9100 to 2.3.6 with Kies?

    Buying the Kindle.

    Thanks for the info guys. ^^ I'm surprised that the Kindle is shipped directly from Amazon. What is the role of SYW in the transaction, their price certainly seems lower than Amazon. ^ I heard buying from Amazon incurs a hefty duty charge, how much was it for you? Sent from my GT-I9100 using...

    Buying the Kindle.

    ^ Thanks for the SYW link, I have not tried them before but I found some negative feedback about them (excluding mouthshut/consumercomplaints). Not as bad as Indiaplaza but enough to be apprehensive about shopping there. Has anyone got positive feedback about buying the Kindle from them? Unless...

    ^ Any specific seller that you bought it from?

    I'm also looking to purchase one but want to avoid Indiaplaza. So where did you finally decide to get the Kindle from?

    The Android Sham

    Maybe newer Android versions don't run very well on low end devices but which touch screen OS would you have if Android were not there. I can't imagine an iOS device selling for 8-14k (even a 2 generation old 3GS costs more). Considering WP7's minimum system requirements it doesn't seem that...

    Top Upcoming Games for PC - 2012

    Nice list, Kingdoms of Amalur had totally dropped off my radar. Surprised to see so many Ubisoft games on the list and here's hoping for fewer crappy ports in 2012.

    Monitors Gaming Monitor + Headset + Hard Disks + Ram recommendations

    Don't know about the videos but I could only find Dirt 2 and BF:BC2 benchmarks for 5770 at 25x14 and the average FPS was around 40. You could overclock / mess with image quality settings to coax out a smooth frame rate for upcoming games but its better to go for a better GPU. I prefer single GPU...

    Monitors Gaming Monitor + Headset + Hard Disks + Ram recommendations

    Lowerig resolution while gaming would increase framerate but LCDs look pretty bad if you don't use their native resolution. When I first switched from CRT to LCD I was surprised too, you should probably try it on someone's monitor and decide for yourself if you are willing to use a non-native...

    Help: Nook Simple Touch -vs- Kindle -vs- Kindle Touch

    How is everyone buying books for Kindle (or other e-readers)? The Kindle store says a lot of books are not available in India for purchase and even if you fork up and pay the higher price the $ conversion rate and conversion surcharge makes it too expensive. I've been waiting for e-book readers...
