A new Google search application for Nokia phones makes getting to the search box and receiving results much faster, Google said Thursday on its blog. The app shortcut is embedded on the phone’s idle homescreen, so you can search without launching a browser.

Gmail on BlackBerry

  Long time no post, which is related to my start on the new job.

However, I have just fixed my Gmail problem on my BlackBerry (BB). It is not a major thing, also probably a “rookie-to-bb” issue, but very useful to know as it affects the Gmail and Gmaps applications. I downloaded the apps via mobile.google.com and all went smoothly. When I filled in the username and password, however, the message “Network Error: java.lang.Runtime Exception: Unexpected server response: 401 Unauthorized.” appeared.

To fix this problem you have to go to Options > Advanced Options > TCP: set APN to orangeinternet, (leave username and password
blank)

That is all… My BB journey has just started but I hope I will not have many issues with it : )

India generates 40% of Vodafone’s mobile usage volume

This headline in the Economic Times really caught my eyes. The 7th biggest country in the world generates 40% of Vodafone’s mobile usage volume! If we take into consideration that Vodafone serves 30 countries worldwide this figure is even more impressive. Let’s take a closer view: For Q4 Vodafone globally recorded 115.7 billion minutes of usage, out of which India accounted for 43.3 billion minutes.

Especially for Q4 India was virtually responsible for Vodafone’s minutes increase of 10.9 billion minutes. Consider this: Globally, for the Vodafone group, the mobile voice usage volume rose by 10.9 billion minutes during the quarter-ended December 2007. India has contributed 86% of this increase. Put simply, cellular usage volumes increased by 9.4 billion minutes in its Indian entity alone. Not surprisingly, India is now ahead of Germany as their largest customer base and at the same time the highest potential for expansion.

Consumer choice on wireless devices

It is no longer a secret that 2008 will be a good year for wireless devices as they will provide a greater playground for their users. That means less restrictions, more applications, better network coverage with a higher bandwidth and better price plans to encourage the usage. Personally, I would use the mobile Internet more often if surfing would be cheaper. At the moment I am using Gmail, Gmaps, ShoZu and some news sites.
