Nokia n97 review, iPhone killer July 05, 2009

Nokia n97 launched user review
Last week i previwed the most hyped Nokia n97 with great eagerness. But my eagerness came to halt even after using it two minutes. n97 is just new wrapper on existing 5800 eXpress music phone with a physical keyboard, processor speed increased a bit from 369 Mhz to 434 MHz. Same 128mb Ram. n97 is very sluggish like 5800.
User Interface is not smooth at all and not that much clear. It is stated as iPhone killer, but seriously it will be insult of iPhone to compare to that. I am not obsessed with the iphone, but salute the innovation. A physical keyboard inclusion is good, but not worth to buy this $700 device. if you really want to possess a Nokia smartphone of current benchmarks. wait for the company to release some worthy device.

Suggestion : Do not BUY......... Palm - PRE is good option.

Ratings:
User Interface : **
Innovation : *
Speed : **
N/W Strength : ****

Other Phones in this category that you can consider, top to bottom priority wise..

Iphone 3GS OR Palm-Pre (multi backgroundn apps)
Iphone 3G
Black berry Storm 2 (Yet to launch)
Samsung Omnia-2 (Yet to launch )

HTC and other windows phones still have miles to go before they come to comparison.

Data Privacy issues in FireFox,Chrome when using Gmail May 25, 2009

Checking Gmail on the Firefox and Chrome browser is not safe in terms of your data privacy. Yes. To explain it Firstly let me tell you how Gmail display your message.

Gmail Working: When you open any email in the browser it display the subject as the Title of your browser. so whenever you open a new message a new title is generated same as subject of your email message.

Problem:Firefox and Chrome browser save the Title in the History of the browser. So when you check a mail its title is saved in the browser hitstory, so anybody can know about your mails.

Resolution
So to keep intruder at the bay, whenever you check any private mail in , browser center(cyber cafe) and shared computer, do not forget to clear the history and saved data.
otherBrowsers: Internet exploer, Safari and Opera just save the URL not title so they are safer then the these two. but do not take any risk clear your history/saved data whenever you leave any shared computer.
