		<description><![CDATA[As reported by PC Magazine, the latest revision to the Bluetooth Core Specification was officially unveiled earlier this week – and it brings some nice new features to the party. Building on the existing Bluetooth technology, Bluetooth 3.0 increases the speed of data transfer dramatically by piggybacking on available 802.11 wireless network connections – borrowing a small chunk of their bandwidth in order to shuffle data faster. While this functionality requires a second radio – either 802.11g or 802.11n – it does boost throughput to a not unimpressive 24Mb/s. With Broadcom, Atheros, Nordic Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, and Cambridge Silicon Radio all having finalised chip designs for the new standard it&#8217;s thought that consumer devices featuring Bluetooth 3.0 support could hit the market before the end of the year. Even better is the news from special interest group chairman Mike Foley who announced that “any phone or computer that has Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and a 802.11g card may be able to be updated to Bluetooth 3.0 via driver, firmware, or software update.” There&#8217;s a clear “may” in that statement, but it at least holds the promise that some existing devices will be able to enjoy the speed boost brought by Bluetooth 3.0.

		<description><![CDATA[HP has announced the new ultra-thin dv2 notebook in India. Less than one inch in thickness, it weighs 1.64 kg. HP would be selling the dv2 notebook starting at a price of Rs. 37,490, exclusive of taxes. The HP dv2 notebook has a 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800 pixel, BrightView LED backlit widescreen display. The dv2 is equipped with a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo processor with ATI Radeon X1250 integrated graphics and optional ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3410 discrete graphics. AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 is the single-core processor for the platform announced back in January. Clocked at 1.6GHz, Athlon Neo has a 512K cache and supports 32-bit as well as 64-bit operating systems with a TDP rating of about 15 watts. This ultra-thin notebook can support a 4GB RAM and has 320GB HDD 5400 RPM storage. The notebook has a glossy finish and runs the Windows Vista Home Premium. High-definition junkies can opt for the Blu-ray optical drive for watching high-definition movies. For wireless connectivity, the dv2 also supports an optional built-in WWAN; but to be noted, there is no 802.11n support. Also, dv2 includes an integrated HP webcam and microphone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bookings for Tata Motors&#8217; much-waited car, &#8216;Nano&#8217; started across the country on Thursday and will continue till April 25. &#8220;Bookings (for the Nano) began today morning and we hope the response will be encouraging,&#8221; a Tata Motors spokesperson said. The sale of application forms for the Nano started on April 1 and the response has been &#8220;very encouraging&#8221;, the company said in a statement. The Tata Nano website has recorded over five crore hits, including over two crore hits in the fortnight since the Nano&#8217;s launch on March 23, the statement said. The application forms were sold through over 30,000 locations in about 1,000 cities pan-India through Tata Motors&#8217; passenger-car dealerships, State Bank of India branches as also through those of its subsidiaries and associates and other preferred financiers. The forms were also sold through Tata group companies such as Westside, Croma, World of Titan and Tata Indicom. Within 60 days of closure of bookings on April 25, Tata Motors will process and announce the allotment of 1,00,000 cars in the first phase of deliveries, through a computerised random selection procedure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hewlett-Packard confirmed on Tuesday that it is considering using Google&#8217;s Android Operating System in its netbooks, a move that could potentially cut netbook costs as well as challenge the dominant position of Microsoft&#8217;s Windows operating system. &#8220;We are indeed studying it,&#8221; said Marlene Somsak, director, worldwide media relations for Hewlett-Packard&#8217;s Personal System Group. &#8220;As the world&#8217;s leading computer company, we want to understand all the OS choices in the marketplace that may be used by competitors or potentially even deployed by us to meet customer needs. So we&#8217;re looking into Android&#8217;s capabilities for potential use in the computer and communications industries. &#8220;If you ask if, how or when HP might introduce any Android-enabled platforms, you can anticipate our answer: We don&#8217;t speculate on products that may or may not be under way,&#8221; Somsak added. The adoption of Android, a free, open source operating system, would promise to bring down netbook costs at a time when IT departments are coming under pressure to reduce spending because of difficult economic conditions. The story was first reported on Tuesday when The Wall Street Journal quoted Satjiv Chahil, a vice president of HP&#8217;s PC division, as saying the company was studying the Google software.

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Wireless has confirmed reports that it is ready to enter the Netbook market. Spokeswoman Brenda Raney has quoted that the plan is for the company to start selling 3G-enabled Netbooks by the end of the second quarter, or by June. Unfortunately, Raney could offer little else in the way of details regarding pricing or potential PC partners. Crave&#8217;s Erica Ogg suggested Dell would be an obvious partnering candidate. Dell already has a relationship with Verizon parent company Vodafone, which has sold Dell Netbooks in Europe since September 2008. However, a similar rumor floated around the Web last week regarding HP hooking up with Verizon. Verizon&#8217;s chief rival, AT&#38;T, already sells Acer Netbooks for $99 with service through RadioShack, and also sells Dell Mini Inspirons through the wireless provider&#8217;s Web site.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After wowing the auto press with the sleek design of Tesla Motors&#8217; all-electric Model S, company CEO Elon Musk is now making an economic argument to consumers&#8211;and, perhaps, the U.S. government&#8211;for buying the luxury sedan. After months of anticipation, Tesla on Thursday took the covers off the Model S, an electric sedan priced at $56,400 but that qualifies for a $7,500 federal tax credit. In a newsletter to customers on Friday, Musk, who is also product architect at Tesla, touted the many benefits of electric vehicles over gasoline cars, including price. &#8220;The ownership cost of Model S, if you were to lease and then account for the much lower cost of electricity versus gasoline at a likely future cost of $4 per gallon, is similar to a gasoline car with a sticker price of about $35,000,&#8221; he wrote.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This month has a great story on the history of Netbooks and the reasons they&#8217;ve become so popular. Price is definitely a chief one, and here&#8217;s a perfect example: Buy.com has a refurbished Asus Eee PC 900 Netbook for $179.99 shipped. As you might expect given that impulse-buy price, this model is pretty bare-bones: 512MB of RAM, a 4GB solid-state drive, and a Linux operating system. Of course, for tasks like e-mail, Web browsing, and other online stuff, that&#8217;s more than enough horsepower. If you routinely work &#8220;in the cloud,&#8221; you should find this a nice little gateway. And speaking of size, the Eee PC measures just 8.9 inches by 6.7 inches by 1.3 inches and weighs only 2.2. pounds. Definitely an easy system to travel with. But there&#8217;s no mention of the warranty, but most likely it&#8217;s 90 days]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[28-year-old Pranav Mistry, a MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) based researcher hailing from Gujarat has created  a digital prototype of a &#8220;sixth sense&#8221; device that is being currently evaluated by corporations including Google, Microsoft, HP and Samsung. To briefly describe what this sixth sense is all about, we need to understand how the current dissemination of information from current electronic devices takes place. Most of the information from computers, mobile phones and other devices are confined to screen or paper &#8211; if we decide to take a print. However, the sixth sense, according to Mistry, bridges this gap &#8220;bringing intangible digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures&#8221;. The concept falls under &#8220;wearable computing&#8221; &#8212; the same category under which the ubiquitous mobile phone falls as well. The equipment list for the sixth sense might seem a tad crude, but it does its job quite well. It comprises a pocket projector; mirror and web camera bundled in a wearable pendant-like mobile. With the help of the projector, you can turn any material surface into a touchscreen. The camera is used to &#8220;see&#8221; the hand gestures. The user will however [...]]]></description>
