MoneyControl on Mobile

November 22nd, 2007

Anyone who is a regular visitor on moneycontrol will be pleased to know that moneycontrol is available on mobile or to say there is a mobile version of moneycontrol available on mobile . I found it really intuitive . I was earlier using same type of application from reliance money but the version from moneycontrol is leaps and bound ahead of rmoney version in terma of technology . On content side I think moneycontrol is already ahead of rmoney .

One can download the application by going to wap.moneycontrol.com

Firefox 3 Beta Arrived

November 21st, 2007

For someone like me who swears by firefox there is a good news , firefox 3 Beta has arrived . It has lot of security improvements , memory leak fixes, better download manager and faster AJAX loading means that your gmail will load faster . Note that you might loose some add-ons if you download the beta so if you are impatient like me give it a try here.

Surprisingly it is available in Gujrati but not in Hindi (as hindi is more spoken then Gujrati ) & more surprisingly Gujrati version is not available on Windows , it is only for Mac and Linux.

IPTV in India : Update

November 6th, 2007

Finally Reliance Communications and MS has agreed on a deal by which RCom will become exclusive partner for MS IPTV platform in India . Commercially it will be launched by next year starting from Mumbai and New Delhi. As per moneycontrol monthly cost will be somewhere between 700-800 Rs/- , but considering the scale I would expect monthly cost to be low. RCom may bundle IPTV services with mobile , fixed telephony , boradband to bring down the cost.

As an update looks like MTNL is offering IPTV as can be seen here. Tariff are still not given.
