This was a blow by the way, a major blow. I was at HEC when i had first learnt that Google's Android is being used by HTC to launch a mobile handset in USA. Ever since, I had wanted to lay my hands on one. Now HTC has brought Magic to India with Airtel and they are going to charge more than 30000/- for it. This is so awful. The same mistake was committed by iphone people who priced it way high above the normal price and then later were found unable to comment on the low sales. I mean this kind of price is too high. There are idiots who love to buy these handsets to display their affluence, but for most of the people this is unreachable and once their interest dwindles in the product, nothing can shake it off the shelves, nothing.
I hope better sense prevails and they bring down the price. I read another report which said that close to 18 different models will be entering Indian market, all of them using Android, by this year end. I guess the prices will stabilise then.
On another note,I stumbled across gameboy emulator for mac. Great !!! so you can download the gameboy game on your mac and use this emulator to run it. I downloaded kigb and one game from internet and it worked, though the screen size was very small and it lost a lot of resolution when i stretched the window to a reasonable size. but hey, it worked didn't it? great job!!!
With the weekend almost here, the only thing I want to see is 6 PM on the clock so that I can pack and leave for home. 2 days of bliss and rest beckon me !!!! I hope I can catch up somewhat on Android this weekend.
