Well now that I am in Australia and do  not have access to Indian new channels I have found a s/w which allows me to watch India play final and cnn ibn when ever I want.

here is the s/w link.

it is called TVU player and it works

you download it install it and open it and type the name of the channel  you want to watch

for example

Cnn ibn

3g worries

What worries me the most …as you said is the input fees of 3g spectrum for existing and new players.
It is quite likely that this will be taken out on the normal consumer,,,,,

If the 3g cost is so high that it takes me 10paise to open up and check my mail then forget it.

They should just Carry out simple plan and offer unlimited Internet.like this

500pm unlimited internet all month

250pm unlimited Internet all nite

251pm unlimited internt all day

350pm unlimited video calling all day (The call rate are the same i mean 50p/min etc)

351pm unlimited video calling all nite

600 pm unlimited video calling all month

Now it may seem very cheap and unreasonable to you but let me tell you that i will be using the 3g service when the rates as as cheap as this or lower.

I also expect a fierce competition as GOI seems to be allowing more players into the market

Gmail Vs Yahoo

Gail vs. Yahoo mail

I have been using my yahoo email id since 1999 and Gmail id from 2003

I have decided to draw a comparison between these two

Gmail had made the firsts in many field but I has not been able to keep up with the popularity it has gained

Gmail

1 GB sounds good…but the Gmail interface has become sloppy and cumbers some

Search…frankly I have never ever found what I have been searching for in Gmail…

I had to look for it manually

Address book…..Never worked for me….I have a user group where I keep getting messages from people I do not know…Gmail automatically adds them to my address book

Even if you have sent an email to one person once upon a time …you will find his email address has been saved and it comes up in the address book too

Gtalk …this was also the first from Google…voice chatting…well it was good at the beginning but I have always been having trouble with the voice quality and text options.

There is no colored text to begin with….no under lining and the worst of all no proper smiles

Also Gtalk automatically adds people from you address book., remember the feature I was talk to you about where it keeps adding people you have sent one mail in one life time..

Also I love smiles …Gmail still does not have proper smiles ….file sharing is a pain

I find it a bit weird when I get add to the right of my window pane which are taken from my email ….like find a router ……free bsd …….and stuff like that ..It kind of creeps me out that some one is reading my email…despite Google reassurance I am not satisfied

Yahoo

Yes may be they are not the firsts at all but I have been using yahoo since 1998

I just love their yahoo mail interface ,they have a pretty descent inbox storage of 1 GB ,,,,and a good messenger with a lot of plug-in option like photo share wizard and file transfer wizard…and yes their voice chatting is the best I have seen yet. It has two options of free and paid…

They do not impose your contacts in your address book

They do not have programs that read your email

They give general ads

Their messenger is the oldest and the best in the business

Their messenger is pretty good looking with lots of customization available

And they still not in BETA!!

Yes I would say that yahoo is the winner as far an email and messenger is considered.
