June 6 2012, is being celebrated worldwide as the IPv6 Launch Day, I just added an IPv6 to my blog and the IPv6 of this blog is 2607:f298:1:107::c53:5ffc

IPv6 was planned in the year 1996 but took decades to get launched many ISP's are still not supporting it but will soon start supporting the same. ISP's in India are yet to start their support to IPv6.

Here is a video of Vint Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist at Google, and a founding father of the Internet, discusses the next version of the Internet, IPv6, and why we need it.

Greetings on the occasion of the Republic Day of India!

Let's take pride being a sovereign nation and strive to stand up to the expectations of our republic and fellow countrymen.

Saluting our National Flag and the Republic,

Vande-Mataram,

A Very Happy New Year !!! I was a bit slow in writing over here last year so will try to write a bit more this year...

I bought a new phone in a hurry last December as my Nokia N86 went dead a fine day landed to the Samsung Shop in Kashipur and bought a budget Phone Samsung Fit in approx 10K, so far so good its an Android phone which i bought with testing the platform in my mind running Android 2.2.1 which could be upgraded to a next version which i never did so here is a review..

The Pluses

• Android :)
• Light weight.
• Wifi, 3G.
• Can work as Hotspot, not found in any Nokia phone in my opinion.
• Touch is quite good.
• 5MP Camera.

The Minuses

• Low Batery Life.
• Sound Quality below expectation.

This was the first time i am using android in a non Virtual format and believe me i liked it a lot, the Android Market is quite rich with almost all kind of applications available, Samsung phones do come with Samsung App Store but atleast i have never opened that application, i also tried to get my hands dirty in developing a small application and without any previous experience in mobile dev i was able to code a small app using the android docs available this is why i love the open culture. After exploring a lot here are the top 10 Apps i use and recommend on an android phone
 

1. Google Maps
2. Gmail
3. ConnectBot
4. TOI
5. OSM Tracker
6. Foursquare
7. Indian Rail
8. GPS Essentials
9. Skype
10. Talking Tom 2
