HTC Touch Cruise Now in India

HTC has launched the HTC Touch Cruise, the third member of the 'HTC Touch' product family in the country. It is claimed to be the first HTC device to feature built-in GPS system, and also includes HSDPA wireless connectivity.

The HTC Touch Cruise sports a 2.8-inches display with HTC TouchFlo technology that enables finger-touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages, and contact lists by simply sweeping a finger across the display screen. Users can view photos and photo slide-shows using on-screen controls, as well as zoom and rotate images with one hand.
The HTC home screen offers one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments, contacts and weather forecasts. Moreover, sweeping the finger up the display yields an animated, 3D interface comprising three screens: contacts, media, and applications; the same can be spun by swiping the finger left or right across the display.

For connectivity, users have HSDPA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The device runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and packs a built-in Windows media player. Other key features include a 3 mega pixels auto-focus camera, FM radio, and micro-SD memory slot for adding to the 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM.

The HTC Touch Cruise comes in Black Sapphire color and is priced at Rs 32,990.

First SPY SHOT of NOKIA TUBE

A Exclusive from www.symbianfreak.com
A smartphone blog claims to have the scoop on Nokia's mysterious, touch-screen "Tube," and coughs up some spy shots to boot. The good news (allegedly, at least): It's packed with features, including GPS and Wi-Fi. The bad news: We won't see it until next year.According to Symbian Freak, the Tube (a code name only) will arrive with a 3- to 3.5-inch touch screen, quad-band GSM calling, HSDPA data access, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, built-in GPS (plus the ability to geotag photos), and an auto-focus camera that's "not as good as [those] on the latest Nseries devices" but "way better than the one...on an iPhone."

The bloggers also claim that the touch screen doesn't support multi-touch (so no "pinching" or multi-finger gestures), but note that it will come enabled with haptic feedback (meaning the phone will vibrate with each screen tap). There's also a stylus revealed in one of the spy shots.

Symbian Freak says the Tube (or whatever Nokia ends up naming it) should arrive in the first quarter of 2009—almost a full year from now—and that a more powerful version of the phone will follow shortly thereafter.

Anyway, that's the story—all unverified, of course, so take it with a grain of salt. Hopefully, we'll be getting some official details from Nokia in the near future.

BEST IE-7 Add-Ons

No web browser is perfect, and no web browser does everything just the way everyone wants it to. So I thought of finding some good add-ons for IE-7.. And I did found some of the below..

Enter add-ons. Also called extensions or plug-ins, add-ons let third-party companies and users with programming skills extend the browser's functionality in different ways. They are your ticket to a customized web.

Mozilla Firefox is known as the world's most extensible web browser, which is a big reason for its appeal among web geeks. But users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7, Windows Vista's native browser, need not be left out in the cold when it comes to add-ons.

Here's our roundup of the best ways to trick out IE7. You can find even more extensions at the Windows Marketplace.

1. ieSpell
It's a shame a spell-checker wasn't built into IE7, but ieSpell corrects that oversight. Once installed, ieSpell does a nice job of staying out of the way until you need it. There are three ways to activate the spell-checker: from the tools menu, from its own top-level menu and from the contextual (right-click) menu. If you happen to use a branded version of IE7 such as those from MSN or AOL, ieSpell will only be accessible from the right-click menu. IeSpell is also available for Internet Explorer 6.

2. Inline Search
Supercharging Internet Explorer's searching capabilities, Inline Search provides find-as-you-type functionality on the web page you're currently visiting. A quick keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-F) will bring up a toolbar at the base of your browser window, a behavior that closely mimics Firefox's built-in search functionality. Inline Search lets you find as you type, highlight all instances of your search terms on the page or make your search case-sensitive. Regrettably, the keyboard shortcuts aren't customizable, so you'll want to memorize the following shortcuts: Esc closes the search pane when it's in focus, F3 or Enter will find the next occurrence of your search term and Shift-F3 or Shift-Enter will find the previous occurrence. Inline Search is also available for IE6.

3. Add Search Providers
Let's face it: Microsoft's Windows Live Search is a dog. But don't worry, you can add new search engines to IE7's built-in search field with ease. Head over to the Add Search Providers page and choose your preferred service's pre-built tool. Don't see your favorite site listed? Just follow the instructions for the Add Search Provider page's Create Your Own tool. IE7 does the rest.

4. Trailfire Toolbar
Leave behind virtual sticky notes on web pages for others to view. IE7 users can install the add-on and start sharing "trailmarks" with fellow Trailfire users. These marks are little notes on individual web pages that can be strung together to form your own interpretive trail across the web. Trailfire Toolbar is also available for IE6.

5. StumbleUpon Toolbar
Haven't tried the random web yet? The StumbleUpon Toolbar for IE7 lets you stumble and bumble your way through the web. Keep clicking the Stumble button as you "channel surf" through sites that like-minded users have marked as interesting, helpful or informative. For background on StumbleUpon, see our review of social bookmarking sites. Caution: It's highly addictive. StumbleUpon also makes an add-on for IE6.

7. GooglePreviewIE
Want to see a preview of a web page before you visit? The GooglePreviewIE toolbar provides customized search-results pages with thumbnail previews for popular sites like Google, Yahoo and Amazon. GooglePreviewIE's thumbnail images are only visible when searching through the toolbar -- a normal web search will still give you default results. It's extra handy for image and product searches. GooglePreviewIE is also available for IE6.

6. Add Search Providers

With this extension you can add new search engines to IE7’s built-in search field with ease. Check out the Add Search Providers page and choose your preferred service’s pre-built tool or add your own.

7. Mouse Gestures for Internet Explorer

Mouse gestures allow the user to execute commonly performed tasks (open/close a window) by drawing a simple symbol on the screen.

8. Wikipedia Toolbar for IE

Wikipedia Toolbar allows you to search and access Wikipedia content from anywhere on the Web. Wikipedia toolbar is easy to install and guaranteed spy-ware free. You can search Google, dictionary, news, images, stocks and weather information right from your toolbar.

9. Star Downloader Free

Star Downloader is a download manager that accelerates your downloads by splitting the files into several parts and downloading them simultaneously. Download speeds are increased further by choosing the fastest mirror sites.

Re-Open Closed Tabs In Internet Explorer

If there's one thing that annoys me in Internet Explorer more than anything else, it's that there is no way to re-open a tab once you've closed it. It's especially annoying when you've done a lot of browsing so you have to sift through your history to find the link for the page you closed.

Thankfully there's an add-on for IE7 called "IE7 Open Last Closed Tab" which will remember what tabs you've recently closed so that you can quickly re-open them.

After installation, you'll notice that there's nothing different in the UI whatsoever… but there are two new shortcut keys.

• Alt+X will restore the last closed tab.
• Alt+Q will bring up a screen to let you visually choose from the recently closed tabs.

Note:

You'll notice there's an Amazon ad at the bottom… you can turn that off by clicking the "Disable Product Bar" button on the toolbar, and then you'll get this message:

I'm not entirely sure why they chose Amazon ads to integrate… but either way you can get rid of them. If you really like the software you can always donate some money their way.
