Top 5 Android mobile phones under Rs 10,000 for Dec & Jan

Almost a year ago, Android phones under the Rs 10,000 category were not great enough to attract consumer attention. With sluggish performance due to myriad hardware models and delayed updates, several users preferred to wait till good Android handsets showed up in that price range.

Now we have a range of relatively powerful mobile phones that can run the latest Android OS smoothly. It is indeed very important to know the version of Android the mobile phone uses to make the best of it.

Android phones under Rs 10,000 are expected to have a feature rich package. They need to have a reasonably large capacitive touchscreen, decent processor, at least 3.2 megapixel camera and, of course, a recent version of Android OS.

Here is a list of the best mobile phones one must consider while buying a new Android phone for Rs 10,000 or less.

LG Optimus Net P690 (Rs 9,999)

Successor to the popular Optimus One, the new Optimus Net P690 has instantly been accepted as a budget friendly smartphone, mostly because the phone is a feature rich package. Optimus Net P690 has a 3.2 inch touchscreen display with 320 x 480 pixel resolution and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system.

Under the slim chassis, Optimus Net houses an 800 MHz mobile processor along with 512 MB of RAM, which is a good enough combination to run Android 2.3 Gingerbread smoothly. If third party developers get interested in this device then perhaps a custom ROM with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich might be supported on it.

Supporting 3G networks, Optimus Net offers wireless connectivity via WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0 as well. LG has used a 3.15 megapixel camera at its rear for decent quality photos to be uploaded and shared on social networks.

Finally, a mobile phone with a seemingly fast processor, decent camera and capacitive touchscreen should be your best bet if you plan to spend under five figures.

Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 (Rs 7,500)

Packing a 3 inch capacitive touchscreen, the new Galaxy Y is quite popular amongst users of all ages and occupations etc. It's one of those mobile phones that come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread pre-loaded and with a flavour of TouchWiz user interface layered on it. Galaxy Y GT-S5360 mobile phone houses an 832 MHz processor to run the mobile operating system smoothly with 290 MB of RAM.

The compact candy-bar form factor makes it quite enjoyable and easy to hold. The Galaxy Y also comes in a special package - Galaxy Y Color Plus, which packs four additional inter-changeable backpanel covers, just like the Samsung Corby series phones. The Galaxy Y is kind of disappointing with a mere 2 megapixel camera at the back without any secondary camera in front.

Galaxy Y also features WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0 support. Of course, it comes with FM radio that works with an RDS and location services chip with A-GPS. Not counting the camera, this handset offers the best budget friendly Gingerbread experience.

Sony Ericsson W8 (Rs 9,300)

Sony Ericsson's Walkman series mobile phones come with the special Walkman software and audio profiles loaded in them. The new Sony Ericsson W8 features a nice 3 inch capacitive touchscreen display and Walkman branding targeted at music lovers. By default the mobile phone bundles a 4 GB microSD card for music files.

Unfortunately, Sony Ericsson's Android phone buyers have to wait for weeks to get the latest update and enjoy a smooth OS experience. W8 comes with the age old Android 2.1 Éclair operating system that is powered with a 600 MHz mobile processor and a mere 168 MB of RAM. However, this mobile does not have enough hardware muscle to run even Android 2.3 Gingerbread smoothly, let along the upcoming Android Ice Cream Sandwich

Sony Ericsson has added custom Walkman styling with the TimeScape interface, bringing a W shortcut to the top right corner of the homescreen. This smartphone supports 3G networks and also offers WiFi support for wireless internet connectivity. It is a good phone which does appear slightly over priced. If you wish for a good music experience with your favourite pair of earphones and a fancy looking mobile, W8 should be the apt choice.

Motorola Fire XT311 (Rs 8,950)

Android is indeed cumbersome to use with a Qwerty smartphone in candybar form, but if there's a capacitive touchscreen involved, the task is a wee bit easier. Motorola Fire XT311 is a Qwerty candybar phone with 2.8 inch capacitive touchscreen display supporting 240 x 320 pixel resolution.

Fire is one of the good entry level Motorola devices with Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread operating system for those who wish for the fastest and best features. Under the hood, Fire XT311 houses a 600 MHz mobile processor that might appear a bit slow, but is decent enough to run the operating system with a 256 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM.

The Fire XT311 is one heck of a good looking Android smartphone. It is very different from the dual-SIM EX119 that has a minimalist design. This mobile phone promises talk time of 7 hours on 2G networks and 5 hours on 3G. Considering the healthy talk time and physical Qwerty keypad, Fire XT311 is indeed worth a try.

Micromax Superfone Lite A75 (Rs 8,900)

Micromax launched the iPhone 4-mocking Superfone with a bang and quietly slipped in the Superfone Lite, which is a stepped down version of the former model. Superfone Lite A75 comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Micromax offers a 3.75 inch capacitive touchscreen display to enjoy Gingerbread goodness to the maximum without spending more.

Under the hood, it packs a 650 MHz mobile processor and offers dual GSM SIM support with dual-standby mode. 3G and WiFi enabled, this mobile phone is expected to eat up loads of battery life and that's why the company has packed a 1300 mAh battery, which is pretty decent for a budget phone. Then again, Superfone Lite comes with just 256 MB of RAM and there would be performance as well as battery issues on dual-SIM mode.

All the above mobile phones are available in Indian markets at different rates in different regions because of the variable taxes, octroi and other charges.

NASA finds 11 new solar systems

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida: NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope has found 11 new planetary systems, including one with five planets all orbiting closer to their parent star than Mercury circles the Sun, scientists said on Thursday.

The discoveries boost the list of confirmed extra-solar planets to 729, including 60 credited to the Kepler team. The telescope, launched in space in March 2009, can detect slight but regular dips in the amount of light coming from stars. Scientists can then determine if the changes are caused by orbiting planets passing by, relative to Kepler's view.

Kepler scientists have another 2,300 candidate planets awaiting additional confirmation.

None of the newly discovered planetary systems are like our solar system, though Kepler-33, a star that is older and bigger than the Sun, comes close in terms of sheer numbers. It has five planets, compared to our solar system's eight, but the quintet all fly closer to their parent star than Mercury orbits the Sun.

The planets range in size from about 1.5 times the diameter of Earth to five times Earth's diameter. Scientists have not yet determined if any are solid rocky bodies like Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury or if they are filled with gas like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

The Kepler team previously found one star with six confirmed planets and a second system with five planets, said planetary scientist Jack Lissauer, with NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.

Nine of the new systems contain two planets and one has three, bringing the total number of newly discovered planets to 26. All are closer to their host stars than Venus is to the Sun.

"This has tripled the number of stars which we know have more than one transiting planet, so that's the big deal here," Lissauer told Reuters.

"We're starting to think in terms of planetary systems as opposed to just planets: Do they all tend to have similar sizes? What's the spacing? Is the solar system unusual in those regards?" he said.

Kepler is monitoring more than 150,000 stars in the constellations Cygnus and Lyra.

The research is published in four different papers in Astrophysical Journal and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Apple beat Google smartphones in U.S. - researcher

REUTERS - Booming demand for the latest iPhone model helped Apple beat all phones using Google's Android platform in the U.S. smartphone market in the fourth quarter, data showed on Wednesday.
Research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech said Apple's share of the U.S. market doubled from a year ago to 44.9 percent in the October to December period, just beating Google's Android smartphones, which slipped to 44.8 percent from 50 percent.
Late on Tuesday Apple reported quarterly results which blew past Wall Street's expectations after consumers snapped up near-unprecedented numbers of iPhones and iPads, sending its shares up 8 percent and into record territory.
In stark contrast sales of handset makers using Android, including Motorola Mobility , HTC <2498.TW> and Sony Ericsson <6758.T> , have stumbled in the quarter.
"Apple has continued its strong sales run in the U.S., UK and Australia over the Christmas period," Dominic Sunnebo, global consumer insight director at the research firm said.
"Overall, Apple sales are now growing at a faster rate than Android across the nine countries we cover," Sunnebo added.
Kantar said Microsoft's Windows Phone share in all of the nine key markets it measures remained at less than 2 percent despite the high-profile launch of the Lumia range from Nokia .
Nokia's flagship Lumia 800 model failed to break into top 10 smartphones sold in Britain by the end of the fourth quarter, the researcher said.
Nokia said in November the model was off to an excellent start in Britain, and had seen the best ever first week of Nokia smartphone sales in the UK in recent history.
Nokia unveiled a strategy shift to use Microsoft software on its smartphones last February in a bid to create a rival to Apple and Google's Android.
"The Nokia Lumia 800 still needs to be joined by a number of other competitive Windows Phone handsets before we are likely to see the OS (operating system) providing any real challenge to the likes of Apple, Android and BlackBerry," Sunnebo said.
He expects the platform to have around a 10 percent share of European smartphone sales in the second half of 2012.

Vidya Balan Married? I am not married:Vidya

Yesterday, the social network and the industry grapevine was abuzz with the news that Vidya Balan has apparently got married to her beau Siddharth Roy Kapoor. Well, it seems to have been just what it was — a rumor.
Today according to NDTV, Vidya has said that "I am NOT yet ready to make a WEDDING album…" Click here to read the full story on NDTV.
According to Times of India, Vidya Balan's alleged love interest and UTV Motion Pictures' head honcho Siddharth Roy Kapur rubbished the news. When asked if the two have indeed tied the knot, Siddharth told TOI, "No that's not true."
So, it appears that we have to wait for the big event. Will Vidya announce her marriage when 'Dirty Pictures' hit the screen? We wonder.
Keep coming back to Yahoo! India OMG for more gossip

Vidya Balan has apparently had a hush-hush wedding with her rumored beau Siddharth Roy Kapoor if the grapevine is to be believed.
The secret marriage between the two reportedly took place last week and the couple are apparently, already on their honeymoon to an undisclosed location.

Vidya, who was once crowned the sexiest vegetarian, had always denied having a relationship with Siddharth Roy Kapoor, who is the head honcho of UTV and had maintained the 'just good friends' stance throughout.

However, the pair was seen more than often in each other's company on various occasions.

Siddharth has been twice married and Vidya was apparently waiting for the divorce from his second wife to get through before she could embrace the relationship in public.

Ironically, a few months ago, Vidya had shot down any talks of getting married anytime soon. With her movie 'Silk Smitha' in the making, we wonder when Vidya will open-up about the major news that she has been making. In fact, this could be a true Bollywood-fashion shaadi if the news turns out to be true.

Samsung Galaxy Note

Many people are already confused whether to buy a smartphone or a tablet. Samsung has added to that confusion with its Galaxy Note.
Samsung Galaxy Note has been positioned in such a way that it falls right between a smartphone and a tablet, offering the functionality of both.

Galaxy Note sports a 5.3 inch HD Super Amoled display.

It's a stretched version of Samsung Galaxy S2 but offers far greater functionality than the smartphone.

Design

Galaxy Note looks good, measuring 146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65 mm, which makes it thinner than most smartphones in the market. Despite a big 5.3 inch display, the device weighs just 178 grams. It is really commendable on Samsung's part to have built such a sleek and stylish device that is both light and slim.

The front has only a Samsung logo and a home screen button apart from a 2 megapixel camera and light sensor, which are not clearly visible on the black model. On the left side there is a volume rocker. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is at the top, while the power lock-unlock button is on the right side. Samsung has provided a micro USB charging slot at the bottom of Galaxy Note.

The Samsung Galaxy Note houses an 8 megapixel camera on its rear with LED flash. It is located in the centre - exactly the way it is on the Galaxy S2. The loudspeaker is placed at the rear bottom.

The 8 megapixel camera of Galaxy Note is capable of recording 1080p full HD videos at 30 fps (frames per second), but the drawback with the rear camera is that it has glass covering, which makes the camera prone to scratches.

Samsung Galaxy Note comes with a stylus (S Pen) that can be used for drawing illustrations and taking notes. The stylus also has a button on it, which performs certain gestures.

From the design perspective, Samsung Galaxy Note looks suitable for heavy data users who are hooked to the internet; but from the perspective of voice users, a device with a 5.3 inch display screen does not make sense.

Hardware and software

The heart of Galaxy Note is identical to the Galaxy S2 with the only difference being processor power, which is clocked slightly higher in the Note. To power this massive device, Samsung has used a dual core 1.4 GHz Exynos microprocessor with a Mali-400 megapixel graphics chip. The Galaxy Note also features 1 GB of RAM along with 16 GB onboard storage memory.

On the software front, Galaxy Note is using Android 2.3 operating system. On top of Android, the Galaxy Note was running Samsung's TouchWiz 4.0 interface. TouchWiz 4.0 interface is almost identical to the version on the Galaxy S2 though instead of 4 icons in a row, there are five in Galaxy Note.

The Note has seven Android home screens and you can delete or rearrange widgets in them, but users cannot add more screens. For navigation, you can pinch or swipe the screen. Doing so at the bottom of the screen, where the page number is displayed, will enable you to switch between screens even faster.

To access notification and the shortcut menu for accessing WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, sound and auto-rotate functionality, one just needs to pull the Android notification bar from the top of the screen.

On the stylus front and the handwriting recognition software associated with it was not disappointing. In fact, it was quite accurate.

A 2,500 mAh battery in Samsung Galaxy Note with average usage can sail through the day without recharging. The device has ample connectivity options in the form of WiFi, HSPA+">HSPA+ and even Bluetooth 3.0.

In short, hardware and software specifications in Note will not disappoint either techies or even people who have recently started exploring smartphones and tablets.

Call and contacts

Galaxy Note handles and syncs contacts with Google as any other Android OS device does. Its dialer has five tabs - Keyboard, Logs, Contacts, Favourites and Groups.

Using the Groups tab, one can create or edit a list of contacts so that messages can be sent to them at one go.

Making phone calls was not a hassle as some people initially feared, considering its huge display. In terms of voice quality, noise reduction and signal reception is at par with the Galaxy S2. Even speakerphone quality was not bad.

But that said, if you are looking forward to using Note extensively for voice calls, but not for data intensive work like browsing or reading or painting, Samsung Galaxy S2 is a better option.

Display

The display on the Galaxy Note is its best feature. It has a massive 5.3 inch, Super Amoled HD display, with a magnificent 800 x 1280 pixel resolution at 285 ppi pixel density making visuals as detailed as possible without any signs of pixilation. Visibility in sunlight is excellent.

The size of the display makes it really great for activities such as video playback, web browsing, editing notes and creating presentations. While reviewing it, there were times when I completely forgot my laptop.

Multimedia

Samsung Galaxy Note's 8 megapixel camera, coupled with a massive viewfinder, is one of the best cameras I've seen on a phone other than Nokia N8. The stills and video recording look excellent, with focus on details, contrast and colour saturation. Even low-light images are not bad at all.

If a device has a 5.3 inch display, one expects it to have amazing video playback. Samsung Galaxy Note isn't disappointing on this front either, and since it can play multiple video formats, it was a pleasurable experience to watch videos on it.

Coming to multimedia functionality, Galaxy Note's loudspeaker is not up to the mark as it is not very loud. Note has only one speaker slot and that too on its rear so it's best to use headphones when watching videos.

Except for audio quality, Samsung Galaxy Note is a device to have if your world revolves around photographs and videos.

Verdict

The Galaxy Note is priced at almost Rs 33,000 which may be a big hindrance for many buyers. But apart from the price factor, Galaxy Note is a good device in terms of specification and performance.

Personally, I enjoyed browsing the web and watching videos on Galaxy Note. However, my preference for making phone calls or sending SMSes was my smartphone that has a 4 inch display.

If, however, you're comfortable with the size and are an avid internet browser then the Galaxy Note makes more sense than the Galaxy S2.

The First Mobile of Nokia

The first mobile of nokia was NOKIA1011

The phone had a service menu, Short Message Service (SMS), memory locations for 98 names and numbers, memory browsing according to the number or name. Talk time was from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours. A car kit and two different chargers and batteries were available for the phone. With the standard battery it weighed 475g. Nokia advertised the phone in a brochure: “Nokia gives you more".

Different flavors of JavaScript

If you are programming with JavaScript, knowing about ES3, ES5 & Harmony specifications and their usage will be useful. Here's a plain & simple explanation of them for your easy understanding.

ECMAScript

If we look into the history of JavaScript, it was originated from a side project of Brendan Eich called "Mocha". In 1995, it was shipped with Netscape browser as "LiveScript" and it soon renamed as "JavaScript" (mainly from the influence of Sun Microsystems). Due to the quick popularity of JavaScript, Microsoft also decided to ship it with Internet Explorer in 1996. Microsoft's implementation had slight differences from the original, thus they aptly named it as "JScript".

As browser wars between Netscape and Microsoft fired up, Netscape soon pushed JavaScript to Ecma International for standardization. Ecma accepted the proposal and began the standardization under the ECMA-262 standard. As a compromise for all organizations involved in the standardization process, ECMA-262 baptized this scripting language as "ECMAScript".

Even though we still call it as JavaScript, the technically correct name is ECMAScript.

ES3

Over the years, Ecma has released different editions of ECMAScript standard. For the ease of use we call these standards as "ESx", where x refers to the edition. So the 3rd edition of ECMAScript is known as ES3. ES3 can be considered as the most widely adopted edition of ECMASCript.

The most outdated browser in mainstream (aka Disease) Internet Explorer 6 is compliant with ES3. Sadly, other common IE versions(7 & 8) are also only compatible with ES3. Early versions of most other browsers also supported ES3. This means all JavaScript features you commonly use are part of ES3. Most JavaScript libraries, frameworks, tutorials, best practices and books written in the past are based on these features standardized in ES3.

Source-to-source compilers such as CoffeeScript, which aims to run everywhere, compiles its code to be compatible with ES3.

If you are interested in reading the full ECMAScript 3rd edition specification, you can download it from here.

ES5

After years of split and conflict of interests ECMA's Technical Committee came to an agreement in 2008 to follow two paths for the future development of ECMAScript. One as an immediate plan to overcome the issues ES3 specification (then called as ES3.1). Another with a long term vision to evolve the language for the modern requirements. They also decided to kill ES4 specification, which was under development to support the above plans.

The ES3.1 edition was finally released as ES5 in 2009. Some of the notable features in this edition were Native JSON support, better Object creation and controlling options, utility Array functions and the introduction of strict mode to discourage the usage of unsafe and poorly implemented language features. You can read a detailed introduction about ES5 features in Opera blog.

Full support for ES5 in major browsers were introduced from the following versions - Firefox 4, Chrome 7, Internet Explorer 9 and Opera 11.60. Safari 5.1 (and mobile Safari) in iOS5 do support all of ES5 features except for Function.bind. Also, IE9 doesn't support the strict mode option. Juriy Zaytsev provides a comprehensive compatibility table of ES5 features, which I recommend you to bookmark.

So is it safe to use ES5 features in our JavaScript code? Answer to that largely depends on your user base. If majority of your users comes from Internet Explorer 6, 7 & 8, code with ES5 features will break for them. One way to solve this problem is to use ES5 shims for unsupported browsers. You may decide which shims to include depending on the features you use in your code. Also, if your code is already depending on a utility library such as Underscore.js, which also provides similar features to ES5 you may continue to use it. Most utility libraries will use the native implementation if available, before falling back to its own implementation.

If you are writing server-side JavaScript based on Node.js you can freely use ES5 features. Node.js is based on the V8 JavaScript engine, which is fully compatible with ES5. Another thing to consider is whether you should write your server-side JavaScript using CoffeeScript. If you are doing so, you are limiting your ability to use native ES5 features. As I mentioned earlier CoffeeScript compiles only to ES3 compatible JavaScript and has custom implementations for ES5 features such as bind. However, this is still an open issue with discussions, suggesting CoffeeScript may add the option to compile ES5 compatible code in future.

For the full reference of ES5, I recommend using the annotated HTML version done by Michael Smith - es5.github.com
ES.Next (Harmony)

The long-term plan for the ECMAScript in 2008 meeting, was code-named Harmony. Committee is still accepting proposals for this edition. Most probably, this will become the ES6, but given the past track-record of ECMA-262 ES.Next would be more suitable name until a release is made.

Currently planned features for Harmony sounds promising. Brendan Eich has shared some ideas for Harmony which seems to make the language more concise and poweful. Also, his presentation on Proxy Objects in Harmony sounds awesome.

SpiderMonkey and V8 JavaScript engines has already started implementing some of the Harmony related features, such as Proxies and WeakMaps. It would be still premature to use these features at the client-side (in Chromium browser you need to explicitly enable Harmony features via a special flag). Node.js 0.7, will ship with v8 version 3.8 giving you the opportunity to tase some of the Harmony features in server-side.

7 Home Remedies to Control Hair Loss

Owe it to our flawed genetics or hectic lifestyles and the falling standards of nutrition in our diets— hair loss seems to have turned into a healthcare plague.

Must-read on hair care: 5 hair care myths you might believe in

Use the following home remedies for controlling hair loss:
1. Regular Massaging with Basic Oils
Regular massaging of the scalp with lukewarm oil helps to stimulate the hair follicles. This is also an easy way to cure hair growth deterrents like dandruff and fungal infections. Regular massaging increases the blood circulation in the scalp. It is also useful for lowering anxiety or stress that is often the underlying reason for thinning of hair. Recommended oils for 3 to 4 times-a-week massaging schedule includes coconut oil. You can alternate this with mustard oil. Keep the oil on for at least six hours before washing it off with a mild shampoo. Other oils that can be mixed with coconut oil in trace amounts for faster results include almond oil.

2. Natural Concoctions for Preventing Hair Loss
Coconut milk is among the richest sources of tissue-nourishing, plant derivatives. It is an excellent home remedy for keeping the hair soft without depending upon chemical formulations and regenerating dead hair follicles. You can also use a concoction of coconut oil mixed with half the amount of Amla oil. Just add a dash of lemon juice to this mixture and you have an effective, dandruff-fighting and scalp-healing concoction that arrests receding hairline.
3. Nature’s Effective Hair-stimulating Juices
Wheatgrass juice is one of the most effective remedies against hair fall. It is known to decrease the shedding tendency of hair within a few weeks of regular intake. Aloe vera juice has a similar effect. However, aloe gel can be applied to the scalp too. This is helpful for preventing hair loss due to irritated, dry or infected scalp. After massaging the head with aloe gel, wash the hair with lukewarm water. This can be done twice, every week.
4. Slightly Demanding But Very Effective Natural Therapies
You can make your own hair fall-preventing medicine at home by frying some fenugreek (methi) seeds in coconut oil. Strain this mixture and apply it in minimal amounts, rubbed gently into the hair roots. Alternatively, you can boil some henna leaves in mustard oil. After cooling and straining this preparation, add drops of it in your coconut oil container that you are using for regular massaging.
5. Homemade Pastes
You can wash the hair with a paste made from Neem leaves. This is particularly effective for hair loss caused due excessive build up of scalp oil or invasive skin infections. For restoring the alkaline balance of the scalp and preventing hair fall, you can follow this with washing the hair with apple cider vinegar. Other homemade pastes that can be very useful include a mixture prepared from adding honey and olive oil to some cinnamon (dalchini) powder.
6. Arrest Hair Fall With Elementary Household Items
Before washing your hair, apply the juice extracted from crushed coriander (dhania) leaves. You can also use a mixture of curd and gram flour (chana atta) that should be kept-on for at least an hour before bathing.
7. Hair Fall Dietary Recommendations
For a comprehensive, hair fall prevention regimen, you need to be equipped with a diet plan that includes foods that can arrest hair fall and stimulate better scalp health. Recommendations here include eating more seeds and nuts (almonds and peanuts) along with green leafy vegetables like spinach and sprouts of a variety of dals (legumes). Basically, foods rich in calcium, protein and iron are vital for ensuring overall health of the scalp. Combine this with some basic dietary supplementation, i.e. using over-the-counter products that help to ensure wholesome nutrition for your hair. Regular intake of Amla juice ensures adequate amounts of Vitamin C but you can boost this with eating more guavas. Ensure you take a multivitamin that combines beta-carotenes, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin E and trace amounts of zinc and iron. (Health, MensXP.com)
