Yet Galaxy Tab has 10.1” wide screen. Let’s switched it ON. You cannot keep your eyes away from it. In just 10.1” screen Samsung has accommodated 1280 x 800 (WXGA) pixels.

Live panel and mini apps are truly amazing with Samsung Touchwiz UX! JAKAAS !!

    2. Connectivity

      We cannot live without breath. Same like us, the Samsung tablet also breathes. It breathes with data, bits, zeros and ones. In today’s era of cloud computing and networked world, any device is incomplete without data connectivity. This little device has baseband signal processing hardware for all cellular and WiFi bands. (HSPA+ in 850/900/1900/2100 MHz bands, EDGE/GPRS in 850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n with dual band 2GHz and 5GHz, WiFi Direct and Bluetooth 3.0)  So you get best high speed Internet coverage at any part of the world. Excellent! Isn't it?

      3. Multimedia & Navigation
        We all want entertainment to engage our mind. Galaxy Tab presents the best multimedia features for your entertainment. As being a Music Hub, you have access to all popular and classical albums with over 11 million tracks. Not only songs, but artist information, critics’ music review, album details everything is just a touch away. You can play those melodious tracks directly to its surround sound speakers.

        How about gaming? Well, compare to Apple iPad’s three-way accelerometer and gyroscope, Samsung uses four-way sensors. So while gaming, screen rotation has much faster response. Not only that, it is your companion in travelling too with turn-by-turn navigation support. It has everything like A-GPS, Compass and Accelerometer. No need for map or any travel guide. Just pack your luggage and book the ticket.

        4. Social Hub

          By the way, what will you do with these amazing clarity photographs? Off course, you will share them with your friends on Facebook. Don't you? Your Galaxy Tab is a Social Hub. Picasa, YouTube, Twitter, GooglePlus, Facebook, Orkut, Hi5, LinkedIn, Yammer, OCS, you just name it. At Samsung Galaxy Tab, a single portal is enough to access multiple e-mail, messaging and social networking accounts. The portal has message feed and web feed in easy-to-read flow. Not only that, 2 Mega Pixels front camera helps you to have video call over Skype etc. Now, you are never out of touch from your friends. So nice!

          5. Readers Hub

          Books are always our best friends. Samsung Galaxy Tab is a Readers Hub. Now need of separate e-book reader like Amazon's Kindle. You can access more than 23 lacs e-books, 2000 newspaper, 3000 magazines, RSS feeds in 49 different languages. Its large bright LCD screen displays sharp characters for strain-less reading. Zoom in/zoom out, font enlargement and virtual bookmarks improve the e-reading experience further. Happy reading!

          6. Brand

          What separate Samsung Galaxy tablet from other tablets? Its brand. SAMSUNG. The Samsung group is a multinational conglomerate corporation from South Korea. Any brand has special appeal, that make you special. This tablet is brand hub too. It has Adobe Flash support for better browsing. The complete Google application suite. GTalk, Gmail, Google Map, Google Maps Navigation Google Latitude, Google Places, Google Calender, Google *.* :) And yes, Android Market with more than 4.5 Lacs apps. So you can download wide variety of apps for Android Honeycomb 3.1 Operating System. However for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, no need to download anything. It has Polaris Office for your professional life. The clipboard stores upto 20 text and images. Useful, right? What Next?

          7. Processor

          Like Intel Pentium processor is inside desktop, “NVIDIA 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2” processor is inside this tablet. Processor is core part. It is a brain of the tablet.  Sometimes feature rich smart phone and tablet become annoying with their sluggish response to UI (User interface). This dual core processor is very powerful. It is excellent for multitasking, mobile web browsing, hardware-accelerated Flash applications,  console-quality graphics and so overall best user experience. It does all the calculation in real time, so you can browse Internet, read e-books, play games, enjoy HD videos. Yet it is power efficient to conserve your battery. Unbelievable!

          Summary

          This blog URL is 7Layers, because our existence has seven layers. Body, breath, mind, memory, intelligence, ego and self. Same way, have you noticed? The Samsung Galaxy Tab has seven layers. So the URL for . (1)Physical Body, (2) Connectivity, (3) Multimedia and Navigation, (4) Social Hub, (5) Readers Hub, (6) Brand Hub and (7) Processor. All these seven layers exist for only one sole purpose: 'the best end user experience'. You can further enhance interaction with tablet using Keyboard case and desktop dock accessories.

Altogether, this tablet provides a ‘wow expression’!It's far better than Apple's iPad, Motorola's Xoom, Acer's Iconia Tab A100 or Toshiba Thrive.


          Mere Jaise,
          Kisi Pagal Kavi Ki Kalpana Ho Tum...
          Khud Ko Bhool Jaun Woh Nasha Ho Tum...
          Hakikat To Nahin, Ek Sapna Ho Tum...
          Ab Hosh Na Aaye To Behtar Hoga...
          Sapna Hi Sahi Phir Bhi Mere Apne Ho Tum...

          You are just an imagination of a mad poet like me. You are ecstasy, that makes me to forget myself. You are not reality, just dream only. Let me remain in this state only. After all, it's my own dream.

          Yes such tablet was an imagination of a mad poet. Now not. Samsung has launched Galaxy Tablet 750 in India on August 10, 2011. Now it is no longer a dream. It is a reality. It is marvel of engineering. So what are you waiting for? It’s time for better tablet. It’s time to Tab. Just go and buy Samsung Tab. And yes, do not forget to share your experience.

          I Am Against Corruption, & you?


          I have many questions, particularly to Hon. Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh. 

          1. Yes, the parliament is supreme. Simple reason. The members of parliament (MPs) are our representatives. Today all Indians are in favor of Jan Lokpal Bill. I am wondering, what can be the reason that the parliament is in favor of toothless SARAKAARI Lokpal Bill?
          2. How come the parliament could not pass any such bill in the last 64 years !
          3. If Hon. Prime Minister wants to take the strict actions against the corruption, then what can be more strict method/way/system than Jan Lokpal Bill ! PM should share that idea with team Anna to make Jan Lokpal Bill more strict.
          4. Today youth of India is giving maximum support to Anna Hazare. At this crucial time, Where can be Rahul Gandhi, who wanted to lead the young generation !!

          How nice it would be, if they are aware about hurdles in our day to day life, caused by corruption. We should have a challenging yet simple game for all the ministers and MPs. 

          •    Get ration card, passport, for them without giving even a single paisa bribe.
          •    Just go and register real estate property on your name without bribe.
          •    Just convince an auto driver to come with fair as per meter charge.
          •    Have a wonderful drive on their vehicles, they will realize how our roads are built. How difficult it is to collect receipts from a traffic police.

          After going through all such experiences, their eyes will open. What a ridiculous, the SARAKAARI Lokpal Bill does not address any of our day to day life issues, listed above. We do not mind paying 30% Income Tax. Yes, while paying bribe we feel guilty and helpless. It is unethical. Government officers, MPs and all politicians gets good salary. In addition to that, they take bribe, without any fear! As there is no any strict law, to punish them.

          Just look at this article, last year 2010, we had maximum scams. Don't you thin, It is our money. If bank gives us loan, it makes sure for repayment. It is bank’s money. When we invest, we make sure to get positive maximum return. It is our money. Same way, the money, India lost in all the scandals, are our tax payers’ money. This year, our Hon. Prime Minister acknowledged in Independence day speech, the contribution of farmers, labors, workers for the economic growth of India. We have also contributed to bank balance of corrupt politicians. The black money deposited at Swiss banks are our money. Even if corrupt politicians caught with evidence, as per present law, they will get imprisonment for 7 years or so. After 7 years, they can enjoy all our money they stole by scams!!

          Anna Hazare rightly said, in this video. We - the people of India - are the king in democracy. Ministers are our servant. However, since Independence, the Neharu/Gandhi family has ruled over us, looted us and made us servant. So far, all the laws were made by them, which make them richer and richer. We have blindly followed and tolerated. Now, it is time, that we - the people of India - are making laws and the government has to follow it. Today the government is just buying little more time to exist, by all such reactions to Anna Hazare movement.

          I am sure, our Hon. Prime Minister understand everything. The right and wrong. However he seems helpless. The "remote control" controls him !!!

          Enough is enough. I am concern about my money, which I lost in all these scams. I wish to have such a RAM-RAJYA, where no one needs to pay any bribe for anything. So I support India Against Corruption movement. So I am observing fast tomorrow 19th August, to support Anna Hazare. For next election, I will cast my vote only to that candidate who really cares for common men, their problem and supports vision for corruption free India. I will never caste my vote for Congress (I) who kept a true Gandhian Anna Hazare in Tihar Jail.

          What about you? Will you all accompany Anna Hazre for his movement India Against Corruption, whatever way, you can?

          Yes? Thanks. Looking forward for bright future for India. Jai Hind.

          Happy (??!!) Independence Day


          15th August is Independence Day in our India. In addition to an old event report Made In India, let me share two nice photos. 

          One is about a Rangoli at Forum Value mall, Whitefield, Bangalore. Happy Independence Day 2011. The Rangoli is prepared by Mr. Arun Sagar, an art director.



          Now look at this, a typical Indian house-maker is preparing food for dinner. This photo was captured without flash on 15th August 2011 between 8 to 9 PM. Electricity was there. Lights were switched off to support anti-corruption movement. To support Anna Hajare's Jan Lokpal Bill. To oppose SARAKAARI Lokpal Bill. 

           

          This is just a single photo, but there are many such women, house makers, families, shop keepers who switched off the light.

          Satyam Param Dhimahi (Let Truth, Divinity and Knowledge shine through me),
          it will move into '*Satyam eva Jayathe*' (Truth alone shall prevail).

          Made in India


          This is a kind of filler article. To keep the blog continue. This is an event report of a book release named "Made in India."  in April 2005. Enjoy MAADI !!

          What will come to your mind, when you hear “Made in India ”? A voice of Alisha Chinoy’s “Made in India ……” from her popular musical album! Right?
           
          But here I am talking about a symposium on emerging Indian competitiveness. Mr. Subir Roy has written an interesting book “Made in India – A Story of Emerging Competitiveness” I attended its book opening ceremony with my friend on pleasant Saturday evening 9th April 2005 at CrossWord, Bangalore . Interested? Then keep on reading.
           
          Let me first introduced the distinguished member of the panel. They were representatives of all major sectors.
           
          • Mr. G. Gurucharn - IAS officer from policy making.
          • Mr. Subroto Bagchi from MindTree and Mr. Nadan Nilekani from Infosys – IT sector. Mr Prakash Gurbaxani, from Transworks – ITES sector. 
          • Mr. Harish Bijoor from Harish Bijoor Consultants – Service sector.
          • Mr. Ravi Uppal from ABB India – manufacturing sector and
          • off course, the author Mr. Subir Roy. :)
           
          The discussion was really interesting. All these members vocally and dynamically presented their view about India and its competitiveness. Subir Roy was taking notes, through out the discussion.
           
          Nadan Nilekani emphasized on human capital. “All CEOs are quality conscious and very confident for global competitiveness…” He also mentioned importance of VAT (Value Added Tax).
           
          Prakas Gurbaxani made a short speech. He mainly emphasized opportunity in food processing and garment export. He reminded that our Bangalore is also important for garment exports.
           
          Ravi Uppal mentioned that we are forgetting importance of secondary sector -manufacturing while we stress too much on services.
           
          G. Gurucharan IAS officer, he was a bit pessimistic. “Whenever we talk about India ’s competitiveness, we all remember only about economic reform started 15 years back in 1991. Bangalore – IT hub and other industrial areas are like islands of excellence…”  (We all know, Strategy guru Dr. C. K. Prahald introduced this word “islands of Excellence”) G. Gurucharan reminded audience about states like Bihar and Zarkhand. “Central government as well as state government both have to do so many things. Combined efforts by Industry and Government will be more effective. Here, at India , government policy makes one step forward and two steps backward. Our industries need to become first nationally competitive in the unified national market, before being globally competitive. …”
           
          Subrota Bagchi informed that the author himself has nagging sense about this book may become obsolete very soon. “Till now, we have always studied India in flashback. We talked about Naheru, Gandhi, cultural heritage etc. First time, this book is written about real time. Even, the changes are so fast that real time is also not sufficient; we need book in fast forward mode …
           
          “There is a major demographic shift in the whole world. We will have 4.5 to 6 billion teenagers in next 15 years in India and Pakistan together. So many unusual things will happen in business and corporate world…
           
          “There was a time, when a senior executive of Sun Micro System, told me, he do not know where is India ? Sajan Jindal was reluctant to put seal of  ‘Made in India ’ on steal. Then slowly he unwillingly agreed. Today, Jindal industry is getting premium price with ‘Made in India ’ seal. The foreigners think that if Indians can write good quality software then to produce good quality steal is not a major deal for them…
           
          “Suppose, without this IT booms, if I was at US, then maximum I would be a taxi driver there. Today, situation is such that, at US if any taxi driver is Indian, then people thinks that he must be a software engineer also!
           
          “Maharshi Aurbindo mentioned that independent of India ’s independence, the country has its own destiny too. This book talks about this destiny.”
           
          Harish Bijoor delivered a nice presentation with Power Point slides. He started his speech with Nadan’s comments to him, “Power corrupts people and Power Point corrupts everything in presentation if it does not work. :)
           
          “This symposium panel members represents all major sectors like: IT, ITES, Manufacturing, Policy making. Biotech is missing. India is a brand since 1995. He always searches for Indian products at Indian stores in abroad. He mentioned some statistics. In 1970 46% contribution in GDP was from agriculture, in 2004 21% and in 2011 it will be 6%. His major concern was agriculture sector. Poor agriculture is like only one big black hole in Indian economy. As per him, we have two Indias . The Real India is 643000 villages where 70% of population stays. Other one is virtual India . Rural India is again divided in Developed India with 32 % of rural India and 43 million homes. Developing rural India has 90 million homes. If we want to increase per capita income from Rs. 480 in 2001 to Rs. 2000, then we must need to focus on agriculture…”
           
          At last, he wished best of luck to the author that his book will have sales figure as good as OR better than, Alisha Chinoy’s Made in India album’s sales figure.
           
          Then we had an interactive round of Question – Answer session.
           
          Subir Roy replied that the primary focus of the book is Indian reader. Nadan Nilekeni shared his views about vision comes first, or vision developed as we proceed.
           
          Someone asked about panel’s view on China v/s India .  Ravi Uppal describes that China do not have competitiveness in service sector. They are competitive in mass production and batch production. India is also moving for mass production. E.g. two-wheelers. India is much more competitive in software development and IT sector. China trains its people for global education and English. We have stable policy, supportive government, and disciplined people. Subroto Bagchi mentioned social aspects. In addition to IT and ITES, we need competitiveness in other sector also. Today BPO has very high turnover rate. In his days, civil engineering was at boom. So all parents were pushing their son/daughter to civil stream. Today parents have same craze for IT. Particularly in Andhra Pradesh, software engineer with H1B visa has very high value in marriage market. Nadan Nilekeni mentioned that we can apply IT for agriculture also. We developed software for supply chain optimization. Developing software is not difficult. We need a framework and competitive market. Our retails chain should demand such software. Supply chain optimization software should be pulled by market, instead of pushed by us. China is lacking in soft infrastructure. China does not have neither legal framework nor financial framework nor democracy. It is always easy to build road for India compare to build democracy for china.
           
          At last one lady from the audience informed that, it is not only Alisha Chinoy. Recently, Intel also acknowledged the contribution of Indians in its progress. Patel inside and Intel Outside!!! Harish Bijoor agreed with her. He also mentioned that yes we are competitive; the issue is how to market that Patel. He explained his experiment with late Devang Mehta (NASSCOM) They purchased best cleaning broom and packed its nicely. It costs them Rs. 95 They could sale them at Rs. 1600 in US. They found broom very useful for cleaning. They also exported Gujarati BAANDHANIs.(a type of SARIs)
           
          At last, Harish made an excellent summary. He compiled all the relevant points from all the speakers. Subir requested all to unwrap the book and just hold it for the benefits of photographers. We saw the books. It contains interesting cases, statically data with graphs about India . It costs Rs. 350 after special discount only for that occasion. Each copy had author’s autograph. Someone requested to Subroto for the autograph on the book. He politely denied that, only author can give autograph on the book.

          Appeal to All Indians


          My dear friend,


          It is more than evident that our Government and all the political parties are unwilling to enact a strong law against corruption. Because if they did so, many of them would face imprisonment. There is a serious conflict of interest. None of the large scams like the Adarsh Housing scam, the Commonwealth Games scam, the Reddy brothers scam, Fodder scam, Health mission scam of UP, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha scam, Cash for vote scam are covered by government.s Lokpal. What use is such a Lokpal Bill? It is weak and ineffective. It has a very narrow jurisdiction. None of the corruption faced by a common man is covered under it either. Please refer to my recent article http://news.indiaagainstcorruption.org/?p=3129 on this issue for more specifics on why we think the government draft is not serious about tackling corruption.

          Anna.s fast from 16th August is our last hope. We can.t afford to fail this time. For if we fail, we may never get another chance. Its now or never.


          A number of people across the country are planning various protest activities. You can organize your own or or you can participate in any manner possible.


          1st August to 9th August: Many people across the country are forming small teams and undertaking short and long padyatras. They would talk to people on their way, hold meetings, distribute pamphlets (download pamphlet from http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/downloads.html) and show Jan Lokpal film. Would you like to plan a Yatra with your friends?


          From 9th August: Mass burning/tearing of government.s Bill as a mark of non-violent protest. Anna will start it most likely from Delhi or Mumbai.


          From 9th August to 15th August: People in villages, towns and mohallas will form teams and go for prabhat pheri in mornings singing patriotic songs and educating people about corruption and Jan Lokpal Bill. In the evening, there would be candle light and mashal marches.


          15th August: Switch off lights from 8 pm to 9 pm on independence day as a mark of support for the anti-corruption movement.


          Fast starts from 16th August: Government says they would crush Anna.s fast the way they crushed Baba Ramdev.s movement. We are ready for that. We will offer ourselves for arrest if the government decides to arrest us. We are ready to face their batons and bullets. But we will not move from there. We will not retaliate. It will be a completely non-violent movement.


          But if the people take a week off from their work from 16th August and take to the streets- in front of their house, on the crossings, in parks, everywhere . with a tricolor in their hands, raise slogans against corruption - Government can crush one Anna, but it won.t be able to crush 120 crore Annas. Government could impose section 144 on one Jantar mantar. But will it impose curfew on the whole country?


          If the whole country takes to streets for a week from 16th August, WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, can force the government to enact a strong Jan Lokpal Bill.


          Will you be there? Can we count on your support and active participation?


          Jai Hind!
