Review: Samsung Galaxy S III amazes by Ankit Tuteja

Mobile Reviews / /

Human nature is that we tend to get attached with others who understand us, fulfil our needs and desires and generally take care of us. But when a human and a smartphone develop a similar bond, it should seem to be out of the ordinary. But it is not, when the gadget in question is the Samsung Galaxy S III – the smartphone right on top of the Samsung lineup.

While reviewing the unit I got so attached to it that even I set my photograph as the wallpaper, as if I owned it.

Before delving further into the review, let me put the verdict upfront – If you can afford it, go and get it. It will in all probability start a new love story between you and your Samsung Galaxy S III.

\"\"

My review unit was white. However, the phone comes in two colours – marble white and pebble blue. The Galaxy S III is available for under Rs 39,000 in the Indian market.

The Value of Internet for Small and Medium Enterprises in India By Anup Varier

SMEs / /

The most powerful advantage of the Internet for the SMEs is an improved level of customer interaction which is achieved by exploiting the participatory nature of today’s internet.

While SMEs constitute 17 percent of India\’s GDP they are responsible for 25 percent of private-sector employment. Almost all the high and medium web SMEs added jobs during the last three years but 17 percent of low- or no-web companies did not, says the report.Given that the SMEs have such a track record of job creation, policies that encourage more of these companies to develop an online presence could help address the lingering unemployment that currently plagues developing countries.
