HCL Aims For Midrange Tablet Segment With HCLMe Tab U1

by Paul Joseph April 4, 2012 Featured

Its the time for a new wave of Mid-Range tablets in India. While the new iPad continues to wow audiences, Samsung launches variant after variant of their Galaxy Tab range. In the low-end tablet range, the Akash’s succcessor the Akash 2 is supposed to soon arrive in Indian markets for students to use. BSNL’s Tablet too is up for pre-order. But the most activity in India is in the Mid-Range-Tablets. Yesteryear’s Reliance 3G Tab and Beetel Magiq Tab and HCL’s 1st Gen ME Tabs sold in decent numbers, but were crippled by 1-2 factors like inferior touchscreen quality. After the recently launched Zync Tab , we now have another Ice Cream Sandwich Tablet being launched: The HCL ME Tab U1. Said Head of Mobiliy at HCL, Mr. Gautam Advani, “ This is an absolute value for money product and we expect it be a hit with our consumers. Apart from the fact that U1 is packed with the latest in technology, its superior aesthetics will definitely enhance the style quotient of our consumers – an aspect that is extremely important for today’s yout h” Here are the specs of the tablet: Running the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Running a speedy 1Ghz Cortex A8 Processor No Access to the Google Play Store, only the ME App Store 7 inch Capacitive Screen at 800×480 pixels 512 MB RAM, 4Gb Internal Memory with microSD Slot 3600mAh Battery WiFi with 3G Available through plugging in USB Modem Front Facing Camera for Video Calls Whatever the speculation may be, the fact that an Android Tablet is unable to access Android’s App Store aka Google Play is a major downer and we would consider it a deal breaker. However, HCL has launched two more variants of the Tablet, targeted at students: MyEduTab and MyEduTab K12. These tablets are targeted at college and school students respectively. They are supposed to help give “Education On The Move” with collaborative learning. They have a cloud based learning ecosystem that will be available as a Premium Service. The vanilla Tablet comes for Rs. 8500 while the EduTab and EduTab K12 sell for Rs. 9999 and Rs. 11499 respectively starting April 2012. It will be interesting to see if educational institutions pick these tablets. What do you think of these tablets by HCL?

Cloud Computing May Bring 2 Million New Jobs To India

by Paul Joseph April 4, 2012 Featured

Cloud Computing is all set to bring about a huge change in how the IT industry works in India. According to estimates, the cloud is supposed to bring 2 million new job opportunities to the IT sector. But are we prepared for the change that is coming? If an increasing amount of enterprises are going to take up cloud computing, the Indian IT industry as we know it is going to change. Adopting cloud computing will bring down costs and at the same time will put the process of installing and maintaining servers and infrastructure redundant. That will mean engineers who specialize in installation and maintenance will probably face difficulties because the demand for them will go down. Many companies who invest quite a sum of money in IT infrastructure for their offices will now just put everything on to the cloud. This is definitely a stress-free prospect for many companies. At the same time it will cost the IT industry a lot of traditional jobs. Engineers specializing in cloud applications, back-end coding and new programming frameworks like Ruby on Rails will definitely have an edge over the others. However, it is no cause for immediate alarm according to T. Srinivasan, MD of VMware India. The cloud computing market in India is still in its infancy and there is very little we can say about it right now but EMC and Zinnov Management Consulting have carried out a study which estimates the size of the cloud market in India to be at $400 million and this figure is supposed to rocket to $4.5 billion by 2015. The private cloud market will be adding roughly 1 lakh IT jobs by then as compared to the 10,000 jobs at the moment. Instead of the traditional model where Indian IT companies relied on the outsourcing of projects from abroad, cloud computing will help start up Tech product companies in the country. Ramkumar Pichai, General Manager, Customer and Partner Experience, Microsoft India thinks this will happen soon. He says, “ Previously, software product firms in India needed enormous amounts of money to sell abroad. They would need to send people abroad and set up offices. With cloud, you will see many more product companies coming up in India .” What are your thoughts on the adoption of cloud solutions by enterprises? Share them with us.

Facebook Mobile Goes Local With 8 Regional Languages

by Paul Joseph April 4, 2012 Featured

Facebook has announced availability of its Mobile site in 8 Indian languages. The transition & availability in regional languages will take place over the coming few weeks. Over 50 Million Indian users are provided with the freedom to access the mobile-centric site in any language they want . The original application was made available July last year & till date supports over 3600 different types of phones. The app being JAVA based, it is easily scale-able & works even on multitude of low end phones. With recent filing for the IPO Facebook had accepted that not all of the 850 Million users are active the same is true in Indians well. Of the 50 Million, Facebook acknowledged that about 46 Million only are Monthly Active Users (MAU). But the growth is phenomenal at 132% Year-On-Year (YoY) . Additionally, Facebook has about 350 Million worldwide users that access the site primarily from the mobile phones . As Facebook prepares for one of the largest Initial Public Offerings (IPO) in the tech world, it has to cater to its users first. As India has one of the largest collection of regional languages it is imperative that such population regularly interacts which helps Facebook grow. To ensure its IPO reaches the masses, Facebook even allowed small financial institutions to be part of the filing. Recently, many sites have been made to realize this. Even IPL teams made sure non-English speaking people visit their site. Coincidentally, Yahoo too went local with the same number of regional languages . Facebook is experiencing rapid growth in the non-English regions like Brazil & India & hence doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned. With all this rigorous activity just to ensure maximum Indians spend some time on the internet; it will be interesting to see how the infrastructure will be bolstered .
