The Notion Ink Adam II Is Finally On Sale: India Only For Now, Other Countries Coming Later

The Notion Ink Adam II Is Finally On Sale: India Only For Now, Other Countries Coming Later

Michael Crider Michael Crider

The interesting Notion Ink Adam gained quite a lot of notoriety (if not actual fans) in its initial version. The company's second tablet has been anticipated for almost two full years, and it looks like it's finally on sale. But for the moment you'll only be able to get your hands on it in India: the price is in Rupees, and the order page is only accepting Indian addresses. If you've got room in Link's wallet, the Wi-Fi version is RS16,499 (about $265), and the 3G version is RS18,999 ($305).

Nestle India Giving KitKat Contest Winners Their Just Desserts, Will Replace The 2012 N7 with 2013 Models

Nestle India Giving KitKat Contest Winners Their Just Desserts, Will Replace The 2012 N7 with 2013 Models

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

A few days ago we reported on a less-than-ideal situation over in India, where users who won Nexus 7s in Google's/Nestle's KitKat contest were receiving the 2012 model instead of the "new Nexus 7" as advertised. Naturally, users were outraged and insulted by this gesture and spoke out against both companies. Today, Nestle has taken to its KitKat India Facebook page to let users know that it plans on righting this wrong.

[Wall Of Shame] ZTE's Indian Homepage Gets Its Press Shots From Evleaks, Just Like Everyone Else

[Wall Of Shame] ZTE's Indian Homepage Gets Its Press Shots From Evleaks, Just Like Everyone Else

Jeremiah Rice Jeremiah Rice

ZTE is an up-and-comer in the smartphone world, one of about a half-dozen Chinese manufacturers that's slowly increasing its presence on the world stage. The company has released some impressive hardware, even if it never seems to get out of Asia. The ZTE Grand X Quad Lite was just announced for the Indian market. But apparently the sub-continental arm of ZTE lost their password to the company FTP.

Look closely at the sole press shot up there, and you'll see the unmistakable watermark of @evleaks, the Twitter tipster who seems to have scooped just about every major Android phone in the last few months.

Play Movies App Updated With In-Depth 'Info Cards', Service Launches In India & Mexico

Play Movies App Updated With In-Depth 'Info Cards', Service Launches In India & Mexico

Eric Ravenscraft Eric Ravenscraft

We've all played the "Wait, who is that guy again?" or "What song is that?" while watching a movie. Now, with the latest update to the Play Movies app, if you want to get the answer to that question, all you have to do is press pause. Info cards will then pop up with face recognition of actors on screen, what other movies they're in, and what music you're hearing.

The feature only works on "supported movies" and it's a little unclear which ones those are (there doesn't seem to be any icon or indicator that shows whether any given movie in your library can show cards).

Google Releases Hindi Input App, Adds Transliteration Keyboard And It's Kind Of Awesome

Google Releases Hindi Input App, Adds Transliteration Keyboard And It's Kind Of Awesome

Eric Ravenscraft Eric Ravenscraft

Speaking two (or more) languages is cool. Typing in two or more character sets is decidedly less cool. Bilingual speakers who know, say, English and Spanish can have an easy enough time typing since they share a (mostly) common Latin alphabet. However, English/Hindi speakers may have a harder time bouncing between scripts because they use entirely different character sets. Enter Google.

In addition to providing a regular Hindi keyboard (below, right) which takes up multiple pages of letters, this app also offers a transliteration keyboard.

Google Play Books Go Live In India, On Android Devices And The Web

Google Play Books Go Live In India, On Android Devices And The Web

Jeremiah Rice Jeremiah Rice

Google gets a lot of abuse for not making various parts of its Play Store available in most countries. It's not necessarily their fault, especially when it comes to books, movies, and music - international content contracts are like trying to trade horses on a quantum level. But a major part of the globe gets more access tonight, as Play Store Books become available to India's population of 1.2 billion. Get your literature on, folks.

LG Exec Says Nexus 4 Will Be Announced On October 29th, Available In Indian Markets Late November

LG Exec Says Nexus 4 Will Be Announced On October 29th, Available In Indian Markets Late November

Eric Ravenscraft Eric Ravenscraft

We've heard plenty of rumors, and at this point, we have no reason to doubt that there will be an LG Nexus phone appearing at Google's Android event on October 29th. Now, courtesy of LG's head of Mobile Product Planning at an Optimus Vu launch event in New Delhi, we have an idea of when the phone might roll out. If Indian market availability is any indication, that is. Speaking to IBN Live (an Indian news organization of which CNN owns a 26% share), the exec had this to say:

"Google will unveil the LG Nexus on October 29 and the phone will be available in the Indian markets by the end of November."

[Update: It's Live] Google Bringing Voice Navigation In Maps For Android To Indian Markets

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

 

Earlier today, Google India uploaded a video to YouTube demoing a long-awaited feature for the Indian market: voice navigation in Maps. However, mere minutes after the video went live, Google made it private - but not before some users caught a glimpse of what was to come.

It's still unknown when Google will make the service available to the public, but considering a video has already been uploaded, we won't be surprised to see it officially announced within the next day or two.

Sony Xperia P To Receive ICS Update Between August 19th And 25th

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

Owners of Sony Mobile's "WhiteMagic" phone, the Xperia P, have been stuck on pre-4.0 software for some time now. This, needless to say, was no fun at all.

However, as can be seen in the above Facebook post from Sony Mobile India, the device will indeed be getting its proper serving of Ice Cream Sandwich sometime between August 19th and August 25th, just as expected.

And now, the (two-week) wait begins for Xperia P users.

Brian O'Toole Brian O'Toole

Samsung is well-known for its ubiquity in the feature-phone market, and it's starting to look like they'll be employing the same assault-on-all-sides approach with Android phones too. As if they aren't struggling already to keep their phones up to date, Sammy is now digging a deeper hole with today's announcement of four budget-oriented devices set to prop up the rather premium Galaxy S.
