All mobile devices users may soon be able to run their devices for a longer period without any recharge as ZPower claims to have developed a silver-zinc based battery which will last longer as compared to lithium-lion batteries.
ZPower claims that silver-zinc batteries will run 40% more as compared to lithium-lion batteries, so if a lithium-lion based battery runs for 2 hours then a silver-zinc based battery will run for approximately 3 hours which company believe is a very good improvement.
The Silver-Zinc batteries are also said to be safe as these batteries uses water-based chemistry which makes it nonflammable, whereas lithium-lion based batteries use dimethyl carbonate which is flammable and can go off like “firecrackers” in times of fire.
Silver-Zinc batteries also degrade at a very low speed as compared to lithium-lion batteries as lithium-lion batteries looses upto 30% of its capacity in the first year whereas silver-zinc batteries do not lose any bit of its capacity though after the first year it degrade at the same speed as the lithium-lion batteries do.
Many market analysts say that this new type of battery will be costly as it uses silver which is expensive and it may take some time before silver-zinc based batteries can be seen used at a large number
ZPower also says that this is a new kind of battery and it will take some time before they can know and improve all of its drawback, but still this new battery will be available for shipment at the end of this month.

Apple has agreed to acquire P.A.Semi Inc. for approximately $278 million as per according to the reports published by Forbes.
P.A.Semi was founded by a veteran chip designer Dan Dobberpuhl and presently has more than 150 employees who have worked for other major companies such as Intel Corp, AMD Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc.
The company processors are based on IBM Power microprocessor architecture which were used in 1990’s under the brand AIM (Apple-IBM-Motorola) which made PowerPC line of CPU’s. For a long time Apple relied on this line of processors until it completely abandoned them in 2006.
This acquisition will enable Apple engineers to have much better control of what they make as processor plays a important role in every product and also this will enable them to keep the underdevelopment products a secret.
As this news came to light, many different opinion (much more of rumors) are coming out as some market analysts believe that Apple took this step to make its own processors which will enable them to enter the low-cost laptops market which is booming in developing countries such as China and India and some analysts believe that this acquisition can be the first step to next generation iPods and iPhones.
Apple has not announced anything as why it acquired P.A.Semi but it is sure that this acquisition will enable company to further enhance their present line of products as Apple had been known for their unique creativity.

Wimax is proposed to be launched in India and a number of other nations very soon and is soon going to be available across the globe making it the most widely used communication technology. In India wimax deployment is delayed due to the government of India’s pending decision on allocation of spectrum for commercial wimax services. Majority of spectrum which is worldwide used for wimax is being held up by the defence forces in India which is creating further delay as the defence forces are not ready to give up their frequencies which are not even being used for any purpose at all.

Nokia has announced the launch of their first ever wimax enabled phone which is scheduled to be launched in India in January 2008. The option of installing external applications and programmes will give it ability to be used for programmes like skype and other voip applications hence bringing down the cost of mobile communication down substantially. I am hoping that the phone be priced very aggressively for it to be affordable in India.

There are tens of Internet service providers available in India to choose from and hardly any resources to find out more information abut how good or bad the service provider is or read reviews so we at India broadband thought of launching a new forum which is now all set to hit the world wide web at India broadband forum and already has some serious discussions going on amongst the few embers we have.

At broadband forum we have different sections for major isp’s like airtel broadband, reliance broadband, bsnl broadband, mtnl broadband, sify broadband and hathway broadband to name a few and for the ones which are not listed in the forum one can talk about them in the common area which is open for discussions about all other service provider which makes it more then complete. Broadband forum has future plans for adding a new forum featuring sections like tata sky and dish tv besides oter dth service providers. Broadband forum also intends to cater to the needs of mobile phone users by providing a platform for sharing mobile service reviews and providing latest news on the countries gsm industry.

Broadband forum also features a separate wimax forum which caters to needs of those looking for more information on wimax related services across India. There are a few reliance wimax reviews available already although it has only been about a month since it was launched in Bangalore.

Registration at the new website is free at the forum and reading others comments does not require membership at broadband forum . The new forum uses vbulletin script for the convenience of our members and visitors which make communicating with other members a lot more easier, fun and exciting. Members can also see other members skype and yahoo messenger status on the profile pages which will take socializing to the next level.

  The government of India is proposing to provide free 2mbps broadband to the entire nation by year 2009 and this is likely to be provided jointly by BSNL and MTNL broadband as MTNL broadband coves Newdelhi and Mumbai and BSNL broadband covers the rest of the nation.Government is proposing to connect the entire population with fiber optic cables and is going to allow resale of bandwidth in the near future.

This has cheered up the entire nation but the telecom operators and isp’s are biting thier nails in dispair.Telecom industry will see a huge decline in my opinion as I dont see any one using telephones when voip is the new C word.I would imagine even mobile operators would get burnt with advent of wifi phones which are already in use abroad.

Cant wait for free broadband:)Â Please feel free to leave your comments.
