| Reliance Rural Application Development Contest |
|
 Like every year, Reliance Communications is conducting its Reliance Mobile Application developers contest. This time the theme is Mobile Applications for Rural India to m-enable their life in the following areas,
- Transportation
- m-Commerce
- Information
- Health & Medicine
- Education
- Governance
- Location based services
Unlike in the past, this time the contest is open for both the platforms GSM and CDMA. The rewards by Reliance are certainly not as high as in Google's Mobile Developers Contest, [$10 Million] but a good thing to get recognition from Reliance to move forward. |

| MotoYuva W180 - Localizd Phone for Youth |
|
Motorola India is all set to launch an entry level handset - MotoYuva W180.
Motorola Indian team is probably drawing inspiration from the olden days. This handset is so fully localized that it provides information about festivals, Nakshatras, Amvasa, sunrise- sunset times, tithi, etc. The phone is also packaged with 30,000 hindi language words.
At a time when the Indian youth is so influenced by the western culture, are their any takers for this phone ? Or will the government step in and introduce subsidy on such handsets ;-) |
