WikiPock: The offline copy of Wikipedia on your mobile

Written on 09:06 by Mani kumar


WikiPock is a mobile software that puts all the Wiki Encyclopedia on your mobile phone via a storage card (of size 4GB). The best part is that you don’t need an internet connection to access it.

However, it doesn’t come for free. The price starts at $9.99 if you have your own storage card. If you want WikiPock to send you the program on a 4GB storage card, it will cost $20.

Features:

  1. No internet or data connection required
  2. A simple interface and easy to use
  3. Well indexed articles (around 2.8 million in English) so, as you type your query, you get instant search results on your mobile screen
  4. Clean mobile-formatted pages
  5. The display time for the full editorial content is very quick, so there is no wastage of time
  6. Has an easy forward and backward navigation to read more articles
  7. Battery-life saver
  8. Preloaded microSDHC™ memory card available on the website
  9. Available for Windows Mobile and BlackBerry mobile phones
  10. Comes in ten languages:
    • English
    • German
    • French
    • Polish
    • Dutch
    • Italian
    • Portuguese
    • Spanish
    • Russian
    • Swedish

How to get started?

  • Install WikiPock application on your mobile so that you could access the wiki encyclopedia offline.
  • After the installation, the full content of the articles is stored in your mobile phone.
  • You could access at your convenience all the articles offline.
  • In case you change your mobile handset after purchasing WikiPock, you could simply download WikiPock application to your new mobile from the website again.

Storage space required by WikiPock

  • The English version of the WikiPock needs a minimum of 4GB storage space.
  • The other languages require less storage space.

To buy WikiPock click here.

However, I am not sure how many people would be interested in paying for a copy of Wikipedia for mobiles, when you can get the same on the Web for free. For those who don’t mind the money factor, I think this service can be a useful one.

[ALERT] Vodafone Mobile Balance Transfer Trick

Written on 07:37 by Mani kumar

If you have a pre-paid account there is a very good chance that you will be familiar with this situation where you need just Rs.20 more of balance to make or continue that one important call. icon smile [ALERT] Vodafone Mobile Balance Transfer Trick

Vodafone has a feature which allows people to transfer Balance from one phone to another.

I came across this tip, where I could easily transfer balance between two Vodafone prepaid accounts.

Using Phone Number:

Just dial the following number. is the the number to which you want to send balance to. Also *20 is the amount of balance transfered.

*131*20*#

If you want to request someone to transfer to you some balance, you can initiate that by dialling the following number.

*132*20*#

Here the phone number inserted will be that of the person who you are requesting the transfer from. This will send the person a message about the balance transfer.

I think more than a trick this is a new feature for Vodafone mobile users. Also be aware of balance transfer charges which are Re 1.00 per transfer.

Note: This works only when both the numbers are Vodafone pre-paid account holders.

New CEO at GOOGLE by April 2011

Written on 07:28 by Mani kumar


Google logo New CEO at Google by April 2011! Today in a post the current CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt announced that he will step down from his position in April. He will be replaced by Google co-founder Larry Page.

Schmidt has been CEO for over a decade at Google and he has been the managerial face of Google behind the innovative genius of Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Schmidt was interviewed by Page and Brin who founded Google as CEO in 2001. Schmidt is 20 years older than both Brin and Page. He had held many technical positions before he became CEO of Google.

What will happen to Eric Schmidt?

Nothing, he will stay on in Google as its Executive Chairman. This will mean he will be concentrating on company deals and acquisitions. I guess we can expect a lot more acquisitions over the next year or so.

Why make a change?

Google recently has posted growth of revenues by 26%. This is good news for Google fans but we all have seen that Google has come out with some muddled projects in the past couple of years. With trying to create a social layer or with flops like Google Wave and Nexus, many might be wondering if Google is now a follower instead of a leader when it comes to innovation.

I guess this led Google to make changes over the next few months so they can get back to making geek look cool all over again. icon smile New CEO at Google by April 2011!

Buying a Computer: Laptop vs. Desktop

Written on 07:11 by Mani kumar

know it’s necessarily not about being confused, but it is about the right choice. Even in general life, we need opinion and suggestions for certain tasks, similarly what people even ask before buying a new Computer, a Laptop or a Desktop?

A Laptop is the right choice if

  • you possess high levels of mobility and keep moving to different parts of your house, city or the country.
  • you don’t want your PC to be shared among your pals.
  • you live in a house small enough to hold you and the Desktop at the same time.
  • you have that hatred for wires, this and that!
  • you are happy with the ‘extra’ price you paid for the same features.

A Desktop is instead better if

  • you want to see a special area with your computer placed and all stuff around it with no movement.
  • you are cool enough to share your PC with friends, relatives and whosoever.
  • you love to constantly ‘upgrade’ your PC with new and techy parts.
  • you are not cool enough with the idea of paying ‘extra’ bucks just for mobility sake.
  • you think your UPS battery is enough in case of power-cuts.

I guess the above points clearly (some tricky points too icon razz Buying a Computer: Laptop vs. Desktop ) explains how I think would make a difference in choice. What do you think what will matter in making the right choice? Comment, suggest and drop in some points too, I feel so alone writing all the time! icon wink Buying a Computer: Laptop vs. Desktop
