Palm Treo 500v a ‘Smart’ smart phone ?

 

 

 

Palm released the long-rumored Treo 500v for subscribers in Europe. It does have a new flatter style that we’ve been seeing in many a fuzzy photos, but there’s hardly much new under the hood though.

Set to arrive in Europe and South Africa next month, 500v’s shell represents most significant redesign in years. The shell’s flatter with rounded edges the 500v bears a striking resemblance with the Dash on T-Mobile. It is a welcome change alright; the Treo had looked the same for ages, since 2002. You might confuse it with upcoming Centro for Sprint, but that is a different model. No word on US release or pricing, but I’m sure it’ll happen soon!

It is still Windows Mobile 6, stripped down version of the WM6. That means no stylus nor a touch screen. Navigation is by a 4-way mouse. Decent suite of mobile Office apps that includes Word, Excel, and Power point with push e-mail are included. Also includes SMS, instant messaging and mobile version of Windows Media Player.

500v can access European 3G, UMTS networks for speedy data access. Additional hardware included are a 2 mega pixel camera, Blutooth 2.0. 150 MB built in, user accessible memory and a expansion slot for microSD memory cards.

OUR TAKE : It is a solid phone but nothing to set the world on fire. Treo could have used a barnburner in the wake of the Foleo smartphone debacle.

IndianPad or indianPIRATE ?

As we all know social bookmarking has become a new trend among Bloggers and Internet Surfers where they can ‘Bookmark’ the pages they like, Publicly to share with others Digg is of course the leader among them all so whats the harm ? Well no nothing till now but when i visited the site IndianPad.com ( indianpad = what Indians social bookmark ? ) was kindda disturbed, the Proud Indian feel just vanished off my heart ! Using such a domain and the site is flooded with links to warez sites and many blogs having same content, links to ” latest Songs, Movies ” especially from South India

So starting about some info about the Website i simply did a search at Google

Here are some parts of the results :

Thats not enough go to the different Sections, seems like those are just meant for Piracy !

• Audio Section has Nothing Except Direct links to Latest ( of course illegal) Songs and yes, no need to even download Play them in integrated Player or Enqueue for  future !

• Under Entertainment - Movies !

Yes i know there will be many such sites but using the name IndianPad is like showing the world where India stands and not too shocking Indianpad is at the top in search engines just Google up with any latest song title and see the name, “indianpad” !

Sites like IndianPad are not only Helping current ‘ Pirates ‘ but also inspiring new bloggers to create new blogs and webpages regarding such illegal stuff and earn Via Adsense and other services by enjoying great visits from IndianPad

Running up a Website using Country’s name ! and the owner is not even concerned about the Content ? Obviously getting high visits from these content
