700 kms per litre
Such a headline would never miss to grab your attention.. Well it is actually 700 kms at the cost of 1 litre of petrol. And believe it is not research, this Battery powered BIKE is already in market.
It does have its share of minuses - Max Speed < 25km/hr .. So it might mean we may not blaze(?) at speeds more than 20-22 km/hr.. that'll be fine if you are moving around TNagar most of the time, but otherwise it sounds crazy..
And with a Full Charge of the Battery (takes around 8 hrs for a recharge) , you can go upto 70-75 kms. This should not be big hurdle.. we can go around for around 4 days with a single full recharge and then charge it the next night.
Think we still remember Reva Electric Cars. The concept was good. But look at the car.. Does it look anywhere near ok.. The design and the aesthetics were too poor. . Heard they are getting in big investments (they are nowhere near break-even) .. Hope they give us a better product next time.
The bike is named as Yo Bike. Manufactured by Indus Electrans.

iPhone from Apple Inc.
This is the thing Apple fans have been waiting for a long time.
Mobile + iPod + Widescreen miniTV
Fully touchscreen. No keypad. And as any Apple product, rich with innovative, usability enhancing features.
Do you know how to unlock this touchscreen ( like Menu button + * in Nokia ).. Slide the button (with the arrow shape. See pic) to your right.. Thats it.
And when you are over a call, you take the phone to ears.. There is a sensor which detects this and de-activates the touchscreen, so that your ears or face does not accidentally do anything.
But this will available in the market ( Only US :( ..), only by the next quarter. And this $499 - $599 phone is available only for Cingular users..
Waiting for the day it comes to india.

Mallu Movies
Having almost completed the first full version of GlobalBusinessPages.com, I watched a few Malayalam movies this week.. All of them were good movies. Clean entertainers. Cinematography is astounding in every movie.
And "Thanmathra" keeps me saying woowwww.. A wonderful movie - fine script n screenplay - gr8 direction ( Blessy is his name, I suppose) - And acting .. Mohanlal is the super actor of India next only to Kamal Sir (no one can beat the master).. After seeing the movie a couple of days back, I watched twice the last night..
Do see that one, if you have time.
