Before you say, I know you can buy it in the grey market for a minor premium over the dollar price, but it’s good to know that the iPhone is finally coming to India officially.
So the “coming to Asia in second half of 2008” bit was right after all. At that time I thought by Asia, Apple perhaps means Singapore, but looks like India will be the first Asian country to get the iPhone! Unless some operators have deals ready to be announced for other countries, which can’t be ruled out.
You can have .local hostnames translated to IP addresses by installing Bonjour on the source machine i.e. the (windows) machine doing the lookup.
Saved me the trouble of changing the IP of my Powerbook in Synergy configuration on the Windows machine every time I got allocated a new one.
Doesn’t matter if you are part of a Windows domain, not part or whatever – just install Bonjour and you are good to go. That is the beauty of Bonjour.
In a new city (Pune) and there’s an Apple dealer close to where I am staying presently. Happened to check out both Leopard and the iPod touch for the first time this evening. I “pinched” the iPod touch alright and can confirm that it is every bit as orgasmic as it looks on screen! Can’t wait to get both the touch interface – in the iPhone hopefully, and the store guys were telling me there’s a strong rumor that it will be launched in India in March next year – should make for the perfect birthday gift – as well as Leopard. Look good enough to upgrade – hate the new folder icons though! Too bad the store didn’t have a copy for sale – the standard two weeks delay before it appears for sale, the fact they had it installed on their demo machines, was a pleasant surprise!
PS – The new Nanos are great as well. Should have kept the Apple stock.
