ECO FRIENDLY MOBILE CHARGER( NO NEED OF ELECTRICITY...JUST HANDS )

The Millet mobile charger is like any other charger, just another gadget. One would well ask what is so special about it that it merits a mention in this article. So, to begin with let me tell that this charger works anywhere and everywhere. Moreover, it is specially made to warm the green heart in you. That's right its eco-friendly too.
It is actually a very simple device which runs on human power. The mobile charger from Millet ensures that next time your mobile runs out of power; you will not be using electricity. It requires just a little winding up and your mobile phone is ready to be charged.
This mobile charger made by Peter Storm is eco-friendly in more ways than one. It not only saves electricity but it is also made from organic and recycled materials. The phone charger is part of a gadget set that also includes a wind-up head torch, standard torch, solar radio and lantern. It's also compatible with most phones.
So Three Cheers for Peter Storm. Let's all buy it and do our bit to save the earth! You can purchase it through the Millet website.

IMPROVED AAKASH TABLET

The Aakash Android tablet is hoping to improve itself with an upgrade. According to HRD Minister, Kapil Sibal who has been the force behind the entire project, "In order to cater to the huge demand, we need several manufacturers to manufacture Aakash. We are enhancing the specifications on the basis of feedback we have received from the first version of Aakash. So we want to make sure that the upgraded product caters to the need of the customers… We have involved ITI in order to upgrade it… We will be able to bring in Aakash-II by April."
 
The Aakash has come in for a lot of criticism over its build quality and usability, (what do people expect for $35?) The 7-inch touch screen tablet has an ARM 11 processor and 256 MB RAM running Android 2.2. It has two USB ports and HD quality video. For apps, the Aakash uses Getjar, an independent market, rather than the Android Market. The tablet was developed by London-based company DataWind, with the Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan as part of the country's aim to link 25,000 colleges and 400 universities in an e-learning program. By January 3, 2012 1.4 million online orders for the Aakash had been received.
