AHMEDABAD: Star batsman Yuvraj Singh on Thursday said that he has realised the dream of piloting India to a victory against defending champions Australia in the World Cup though it was very difficult to keep his emotions in check in the high-octane quarterfinal match.



"Over the last one year I have been dreaming of staying till the end and taking the team to victory against Australia in the World Cup and the moment has come. This is the moment I have lived for as a cricketer," he said at the post-match press conference.



Yuvraj guided India to a sensational five-wicket victory over holders Australia with an unbeaten half century after claiming two wickets and he was adjudged Man-of-the-match for the fourth time in the tournament.



He admitted that it was a really tough situation with enormous pressure on him and any small mistake on his part could have thrown India out of the World Cup.



"It was very hard to control emotions. It was difficult to control oneself in such a situa http://bit.ly/gJ2W2t

Australia vs India - ODI



Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium, Motera, India, 24 Mar, 09:00 AM GMT

Australia won the toss & elected to bat
  • A fine performance by both sides so far. Australia started cautiously, got pegged back, had a recovery but again lost wickets in the middle. A bit of surge towards the end saw them reach 260 as they scored 75/2 in the last 10 overs, of which, 41/1 came in the last 5. But, the story of the afternoon has been one man - Ricky Thomas Ponting - Century in his last World Cup game against India in 2003 and a ton today as well. He struggled initially but then, he made it up beautifully by scoring a brilliant hundred.

  • AUS 260/6 in 50 overs

Trial For iPhone 5!

Amplify’d from www.product-reviews.net
A recent article posted on DigitalTrends suggests that Apple are beginning iPhone 5 production for trial, this trial is mainly to test out NFC, a technology never offered by an Apple product before.
Trial Starts For iPhone 5 Release

Trial Starts For iPhone 5 Release

DigitalTrends sourced their information from ChinaTimes, if their source is accurate the iPhone 5 will feature a metal chassis which will ensure that there are no reception issues and there will be a 4-inch scratch resistant capacitive touch screen display .

For now we must not take these rumors too seriously, however it does make sense for Apple to thoroughly test out near-field communications before they officially release their next-gen iPhone, let’s face it poor implementation of NFC could spell trouble for the future of contactless payment methods.

Recently we revealed that RIM’s OS 6.1 devices will almost certainly feature NFC, therefore it looks as if smartphone manufacturers are keen to adopt this technology, we wonder if it will be as popular as these companies are predicting.

It is thought that the iPhone 5 will be released in June / July 2011, therefore Apple has roughly two and a half months to finalize their product. Last year’s iPhone 4 antennagate saga has ensured that everyone will be keeping a close-eye on Apple’s next smartphone, if they get it wrong we could potentially see the demise of the iPhone, what do you think?

The official Product Reviews app is available from iTunes for iPhone/iPod or iPad, and it's free.

4G vs 5G

Much has been said about the Apple iPhone 4G – these include rumors of a summer 2010 release and the features that it will offer. However, we have noticed a current trend that an iPhone 5G will be coming in 2011. So what do we really know about these two versions?

iPhone 4G (2010) vs. 5G (2011): What we need to know?

iPhone 4G (2010) vs. 5G (2011): What we need to know?

The first thing that needs to be made clear is the fact that the rumored iPhone 4G will not offer 4G/LTE speeds – this just means that it is the 4th-generation smarphone from Apple. However, we recently learned that Apple has a job listing for someone familiar with LTE.

This means that Apple are working on a full 4G working iPhone, but it will not be this year for a number of reason. One of those reasons is that AT&T are a long way off with its 4G development – as the carrier is making improvements to its current 3G data service first.

So what do we expect to see with the rumored iPhone 4G in June? I would say that it would not have all the amazing features that have been suggested to us. If you are hoping for a new design – such as some of the concept HD or Pro handsets we have seen – then we think you will be disappointed.

The 2010 model will have a few new features, these could include an improved camera, improved battery performance – which will be thanks to a newer version of the iPhone OS.

As for the Apple iPhone 5G, this is the model that will look totally different – maybe something like those concepts that we mentioned above. This new model could also come with newer hardware, such as a declocked iPad A4 processor, OLED screen and iPhone OS 4.0. Do not expect any Flash Player support, Steve Jobs already announced that they would never support this, as it is too buggy – instead preferring to go down the HTML 5 option.

This is just what we know so far, if you have anything to add – then do so by adding your comments below.

testing the new Apple iPods!

Touch, Nano and Shuffle compared with the last year models.

testing the new Apple iPods!




Filed under: Uncategorized by lloydpbabu — Leave a comment

September 21, 2010






Another holiday season, another batch of fresh iPods. We’ve been testing the new Touch, Nano and Shuffle to see how they fare with last year’s models. Find our full impressions on all three here.

iPod Touch

What’s New

The Touch is now almost up to speed with the iPhone 4: new is a high-res Retina display at 960 x 640 pixels; both a back and front-facing camera for HD video and FaceTime, respectively; a speedy Apple A4 chip; gyroscopes for more accurate tilt controls; and a chassis that’s been shaved down to just over a quarter of an inch thick.

The Verdict

While still a notch down from the iPhone 4 in a few departments, App Store access with no contract in a package this sexy remains a no-brainer for those in need of a dedicated MP3 player that’s not a phone.

iPod Nano

The Bad

Always-on data and GPS aside, the Touch still isn’t quite an iPhone. The rear camera is not nearly as good. When compared to the iPhone 4, its video noticeably lacks contrast and saturation, and in still mode, the max resolution is a paltry 960 x 720 compared to the iPhone 4′s impressive five-megapixel sensor. In their reviewer’s guide, Apple doesn’t even mention the camera’s ability to take stills, so this is obviously something they’re not proud of. And while the display matches the iPhone’s ultra-high resolution, the panel is not quite as crisp and contrasty.
The Good

The iPhone-without-the-phone keeps getting better. It surpassed the Nano this year as the best-selling iPod with good reason —it gets you into the App Store, matches the iPhone as the best mobile computing device when you’re within Wi-Fi coverage, and is one of the sleekest industrial designs in Apple’s portfolio —all without an AT&T contract.
The Price

$230 (8GB), $300 (32GB), $400 (64GB)
The new iPod Nano: Now with chip clip  John Mahoney

What’s New

Bye bye clickwheel. The new Nano is Apple’s latest multitouch convert. The form factor is now more Shuffle than Nano, and it also includes a clip.

The Bad

I’ve got to say, I miss the clickwheel. I don’t disagree with Apple’s current core design philosophy that touch interfaces are the future. But the new Nano demonstrates where multitouch can get dicey —when the screen is too small. At just 1.54 inches (diagonal) the Nano’s display can fit only three-and-a-half list items (songs, albums with art, etc) on the screen at once. That means a lot of swiping to get through a longer album’s tracks (and a partially obscured view of the screen while you’re doing it). You don’t want to cut all the hilarious interludes from your Lil’ Wayne mixtape just to save space now, do you?
The Good

The new Nano shrinks all the music capabilities of the old one (video is out) into a crazy small package. Also, the clock screen saver doubles as a wristwatch!
Navigating menus can also be tricky. A right-swipe brings you back a step, and a left swipe uncovers additional options at certain points. But the small screen often forces you to make both gestures over other tappable controls already on the screen. This can result in mis-taps, especially if you’re switching tracks while fading fast on the treadmill like I do at around mile three.
The Price

$150 for 8GB, $180 for 16GB, all in seven colors
The Verdict

My previous-gen Nano can display ten text list items and six album covers per screen, and provides a more intuitive way to scroll through them quickly without blocking the screen. This could come down to personal preference, but for me, the hard buttons are more advantageous than a smaller form factor. Because hey, both iPods are practically weightless. If you exercise in pocketless clothing and hate to strap on an armband, the more capacious Nano with its clip (and screen) could be a nice step-up from your workout Shuffle. But beware the tiny touchscreen.

iPod Shuffle

The new iPod Shuffle: Buttons are back  John Mahoney

What’s New

Gone is the no-buttons, stick-of-chewing-gum design from the last generation, killed in favor of something that more closely resembles the second-generation’s round ring of buttons. They’ve made the controls larger while shrinking the overall product; now it’s an even tinier aluminum chip clip with buttons.

The Good

One day, Apple will find a way to sell us something with multitouch that doesn’t have a screen. As of now they haven’t (YET), so the new Shuffle relies on a hybrid control scheme from previous generations that works perfectly. Gone is the headphone wire remote for advancing tracks according to a coded morse code of clicks; it’s been replaced by the second-gen’s friendly round of control buttons. What remains from the buttonless previous version is the cool VoiceOver feature that will announce the current track name, artist, playlist or battery remaining at the press of a dedicated button. It’s such a useful feature, it should be standard across the line (How many times have you pulled your shuffling music player from your pocket to ID a song you couldn’t quite remember?). Plus, it’s fun to hear Mr. Synth Voice pronounce your favorite artists and tracks (“Yeah-Ma-Ha….The Dream”).
The Bad

Sure, it’s more convenient to have a screen, but that’s not really the point here. And the headphone-mounted clickable remote would have been handy, but its absence means many will just clip the thing somewhere external and use the buttons on the face.
It’s not often Apple admits it’s wrong, but in smartly reigning the crazier, buttonless Shuffle back in and adding buttons, they’ve improved on a product that tops all previous generations easily.
The Price

$50 for 2GB in five colors
The Verdict

A smart rollback. It doesn’t get much more perfectly executed than this for $50.
