Samsung Galaxy Note !!!
Clove, the online retailer website from UK, has revealed that Samsung Galaxy Note — the hybrid of Smartphone cum Tablet — will hit UK in the month of November. The first stock of the Galaxy Note will arrive in late November, and probably will have an official launch at the same time.
So, if you are in UK you will be the first to get your hands on Galaxy Note, while the rest of world drools over it — in excitement or agony.
Price of Galaxy Note is still a mystery, but Clove has been clever to hand out some estimates to allow you to target savings to be made in a matter of 2 months from now. It’s estimated price is £500 (VAT to be added), but that clearly too much even though we nkow that hardware is really too much to ignore.
We do hope the price comes down once it officially hits the stores. In case you have some doubts about buying this monster let us shed some light on the specs.
The Galaxy Note has a massive 5.3-inch Super AMOLED HD display (which will be world’s first perhaps unless Galaxy Tab 7.7 cuts the deal earlier) with resolution of 1280×800 pixels, now that’s some awwwesome display.
It will run on Android Gingerbread and TouchWiz UI 4.0, and will also have a digital pen — which is why it’s called Note, in case you didn’t figure it out already — for a more user friendly experience.
The Note will be powered by Dual-core 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos chipset and 1GB RAM. The rear camera of Galaxy Note is 8-megapixel while the front camera is 2-megapixel.
The Galaxy Note will come in two version one with 16GB and the other with 32GB of internal storage, and incase you fall short of memory you can upgrade it even further upto 32GB via the microSD slot.
Time to save, eh!

Hotspot Movie Cards, Cinema goes mobile...
The Indian retail has been constantly innovating new ideas to woo the consumers and tap the potential of the individual & thier purchase capacity, the latest conception is from Hotspot.
Hotspot is selling Bollywood movies for mobile phones in a 1GB SD card, called as Movie Card, this latest offering is available as a SD card slot for mobile phones. Most mobile phones which are available today in the market have basic video playing capabilities.
BK Modi's Spice Televentures company HotSpot has announced the launch of Movie Card, which would enable mobile phone users to watch latest Bollywood flicks on 320x240 pixel screen.
"Given the fact that 30-40 per cent of mobile handsets in the country support various movie formats but there are no options for a legal shareable format for movies, we expect this segment to grow rapidly. This is just the first phase of launch of the product in the Indian market and we soon will introduce more than 50 movies on this medium by December 2009," Hotspot CEO Sanjeed Mahajan added.
With the digital format leading all formats of content consumption, is encouraging the potential to tap all possible content right from Mobi-Books, entertainment, news, mobile blogging etc the industry is expected to be around Rs 850 billion by 2010.
Movie Card phase I construct :
Price is 350 rupees
Memory of 1GB
Resolution (pixels): 320 x 240
SD Card slot
Video formats: MP4 & 3GP
Movies available: Namaste London, Om Shanti Om, Lage Raho Munnabhai, Omkara, Devdas.Games, wallpapers, ringtones will also be available.
This strategy is not new as Nokia N96 was pre-loaded with Om Shanti Om movie, games and wallpapers. The choice of movies offered by Hotspot is limited right now to get any mass adoption. If given a great choice this could set a new revolution.
Domestic & ILD charges may fall
Domestic and International long-distance call charges may dip as the government may accept telecom regulator TRAI's recommendation to allow using calling-cards to provide the subscriber the option to choose his or her operator.
Introducing calling-cards for making STD and ISD calls is the best alternative to the carrier selection code (choice of operators) as this would save cost, which can be spent on upgrading the networks of existing operators. Using calling-cards will increase competition in the long-distance segment and in turn will benefit over 370 million subscribers, telecom analysts said, adding this may bring down international calling-charges by up to 70 per cent.
In its recommendations submitted last year, TRAI had said that considering implementation issues like estimating and sharing network setup/upgrade cost by long-distance operators, implementing Carrier Selection may not be justified in the present scenari o and consumers will be better served if the cost is spent on developing next-generation telecom infrastructure.
The Department of Telecom (DoT) had constituted a committee of senior officials and those from its technical wing Telecom Engineering Consultant (TEC), and has forwarded its report to the Telecom Commission for approval.
The Telecom Commission is meeting here on Monday to consider the report, sources said, adding the committee has recommended introducing long-distance calling-cards for subscribers to select carriers.
Long-distance calls will be allowed from both basic and mobile phones. In India there are 23 domestic long-distance and 18 international long-distance service providers, who will benefit from the move.
