Nokia is very much hope ful with the popularity of touch screens phones in India and that is the reason why the Finnish giant is slated to launch more and more touch screen phones in India in the coming months. By 2012, touch screen phones will account nearly 40% of the Indian mobile phone market and Nokia being a leader in phone market does not want to let go this opportunity. The craze of touch screen phones in India was started by the iPhone, which sadly didnt do well, and was fueled by the introduction of the Nokia 5800, which did well in the Indian market but it was not able to convert iPhone users to its own. Nokia’s new touch screen handsets will start from INR 13,000 but the company is aiming to bring down this price to INR 10,000. I guess Nokia touch screen phones at this price point will have a lot of takers as Nokia is very strong in low and mid-range mobile phone market in India. [Via]

I am not a hacker. I am not a coder. I think of myself as a modder though I’m not sure I really fit the definition - it’s not like I’m creating icon packs or rendering my own fonts. I’m just a moderately savvy guy who enjoys tinkering with electronic stuff and benefiting from the work of those who do reverse and re-engineer. So maybe that makes me an appropriate public guinea pig for flashing a G1 with leaked and hacked ROMs.

He’s still working on making the ROM untraceable, but Haykuro is closer to releasing a Hero for the masses. The digital watermarks that have delayed the drop thus far are gone - but there are still some concerns about masking his source, apparently. Thankfully, he’s made another video to tide us over.
