Apple iPad is now officially available in India

Good news to all iPad lover's in INDIA, Apple today has finally announced they started selling "iPad" to indian market. 

Apple will make the iPad available through its Apple Retail Store's in India, with 3G services from BSNL.

On Thursday BSNL has announced attractive data plans for Apple 3G iPad, BSNL is the first among other 3G service provider in India to have a deal with Apple.

BSNL is offering both prepaid and postpaid plans for iPad owners in India. Unlimited 3G usage costs Rs 999 per month in both prepaid and postpaid. Check out BSNL's official site for Apple iPad 3G data plans in India.


Below are cost of different storage capacity iPad in India, You can get more detail's at Apple Store in India.

iPad with Wi-Fi					13-inch | 15-inch | 17-inch
Connect to the Internet wherever you can access a Wi-Fi hotspot.		16GB1 Rs. 27,900*	32GB1 Rs. 32,900*	64GB1 Rs. 37,900*
iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G
Connect to the Internet at Wi-Fi hotspots and over 3G networks when you’re on the go; 3G service sold separately.		16GB1 Rs. 34,900*	32GB1 Rs. 39,900*	64GB1 Rs. 44,900*

Apple iPad price is somewhat higher in India comparing to iPad price in US & UK. 

However for iPad lover like me who haven't waited long and ordered for the Apple iPad after it's launch in USA. I ordered for my iPad (64 GB, 3G + Wi-Fi) on 20th August, 2010 last year and then shipped it to India which cost me somewhat higher at price to now available iPad price in INDIA. Along with Apple iPad I ordered for accessories including Apple iPad Case, iPad Keyboard Dock, Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, iPad 10W USB Power Adapter & iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter.

Except Apple iPad case all other accessories are not of much use, especially the "iPad Keyboard Dock" it looks awesome, but believe me it's not of use at all. The in-built keyboard functionality in iPad is sufficient enough, you'll never feel necessity of attaching it to the external iPad Keyboard Dock...Rest all accessories depends on your use, better my suggestion would be first to get your iPad in hand use it for few months and order accessories later as per requirement:-)

I am using BSNL 3G normal SIM which I  converted into Micro SIM to be used with iPad. It's very easy to convert your normal SIM card to fit into iPad micro SIM card in-built slot. There's dozen of videos available at Youtube or you can watch this one Video.

Before cutting your SIM as Micro-SIM, don't forget to activate your SIM and use "BSNLNET" as the data provider in your iPad Settings to work with 3G. More details on how to activate your BSNL 3G SIM can be found here. Alternatively you can also order for Noosy Micro SIM cutter with SIM adapters which is available for Rs 500/- only at Ebay.com & Amazon.com

My Apple iPad picture's

I love playing with my iPad and can say it's kind of gadget whom you easily get into love play, work most of hour's with it. iPad is fantastic!

So when you planning to bring iPad your home, share your thoughts?

Google X-Rays Logo Celebrates 115th Anniversary of the Discovery of X-rays

Google X-Rays Logo Celebrates 115th Anniversary of the Discovery of X-rays on 08th November, 2010. Google show's the X-rays logo at their SERP's.

X-ray - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:-

X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3 × 10¹⁶ Hz to 3 × 10¹⁹ Hz) and energies in the range 120 eV to 120 keV. They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays and longer than gamma rays. In many languages, X-radiation is called Röntgen radiation, after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who is generally credited as their discoverer, and who had named them X-rays to signify an unknown type of radiation.

Correct spelling of X-ray(s) in the English language includes the variants x-ray(s) and X ray(s). XRAY is used as the phonetic pronunciation for the letter x.

X-rays from about 0.12 to 12 keV (10 to 0.10 nm wavelength) are classified as "soft" X-rays, and from about 12 to 120 keV (0.10 to 0.01 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays, due to their penetrating abilities.

Google New Highlight Feature: Shows Organic SERP Results look disctinctive with Colored Blue Shaded Box

Google New Highlight Feature: Shows Organic SERP Results look disctinctive with Colored Blue Shaded Box & Website Thumbshot Preview

I was excited and thrilled to be first to blog about Google's new highlight and website thumbnail preview feature at Search Engine Result Page's. I shared this with many of my friend's, but to my strange it's not showing up in many countries/data center's. Probably Google has rolled out it on few selected Data Center's and as always after some testing/feedback's they will push it across all of their data center's. So those who are not seeing it now, get ready to explore it in next few days.

The new feature which Google has introduced at organic SERP's is a new highlight feature to each and every single website listings at organic results. The new Google search engine result page's are shown under a Blue rectangle box with a site preview thumbnail snapshot picture. The new SERP's look's entirely different and it's more interactive and soothing to eye's.

Bing.com has also included such similar feature's and I believe it's Google reply to Bing Feature's. By including a thumbnail preview Google is really edging over Bing in terms of making searcher's experience better.

Google's new website thumbnail preview pic feature is based on a website which I optimized almost 5 years ago, the site was Girafa.com and they were into visual search technology allowing the thumb pic's of website
(Girafa visual search technology allows users to view thumbnail images or pictures of websites listed next to textual links on search result pages).

I am glad to see the project on which I had worked before has been introduced by Google too. It's a big breakthrough for user's with a extra-ordinary experience.

What do you think about Google's this new feature and what's your experience do share your view's/feedback in comment box below. If you also seeing the same, please do share :-)
