Blackberry Now Available on Hutch Network

Hutch and Research In Motion (RIM) have announced the availability of BlackBerry for Hutch's mobile customers in India. Hutch's corporate customers will now be able to enjoy the BlackBerry solution that supports wireless access to email, phone, text messaging, browser, organizer and other mobile data applications.

Harit Nagpal, director marketing, Hutchison Essar said, "BlackBerry is a unique and powerful tool that provides seamless connectivity for our customers, even while they are traveling. We are delighted to be able to offer this brilliant service to our customers."

Designed for corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server integrates with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data. Hutch also brings to its corporate customers the BlackBerry Mobile Data System (MDS) that provides a complete and optimized framework for creating, deploying and managing wireless applications for BlackBerry handsets.

Norm Lo, vice president of Asia Pacific at Research In Motion said, "Hutch is a strategic partner for RIM and we're pleased to be working together to expand the reach of BlackBerry in India. Hutch's strong presence in the enterprise market will help us reach and serve more mobile professionals, allowing them to enjoy enhanced communications, collaboration and productivity."

In addition to BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Hutch also offers BlackBerry Internet Service for individuals and smaller businesses. This service allows users to access up to ten corporate and personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.

BlackBerry handsets immediately available on the Hutch network include the BlackBerry 7130g, BlackBerry 8700g, and BlackBerry 7290. Hutch will also soon launch the new BlackBerry Pearl.

Find Outdated, Insecure Apps Quickly

I came a cross a free new online service from Secunia, a company that produces business security products and does a fair bit of threat research. Head to secunia.com/software_inspector with either Firefox (1.5 and up), IE (6 and up) or Opera 9 and the online tool will scan your system for common programs like browsers, e-mail apps and media players and tell you which ones are out-of-date and potentially unsafe. It will check your version of Windows, too.

It's a useful service, since many of the scanned-for apps are often targeted by online attacks, and you'll get a link to download updates for any old programs. But of course there's a gotcha, since nothing in the world of computer security is entirely smooth and easy, it seems.

It's no fault of Secunia's, but some apps, like the Macromedia Flash Player and Sun Java, leave old versions of their software around after you upgrade. And those old versions show up as unsafe in the Secunia scan. There were five or six old Java versions on my PC, for instance, that I had to manually remove using Add/Remove programs. I'm still working on clearing the old Flash bits.

The 25 Worst Web Sites

From unforgettable flame-outs to some of the most popular destinations around, no one is safe from our look at the world's dumbest dot-coms and silliest sites.
People say hindsight is 20/20. When it comes to the Web, hindsight is more like X-ray vision: In retrospect, it's easy to see what was wrong with dot coms that tried to make a business out of giving stuff away for free (but making it up later in volume), or to make fun of venture capitalists who handed millions to budding Web titans who had never run a lemonade stand before, let alone an enterprise.
It's so easy, in fact, i can't help doing it myself. So as venture capitalists scramble to throw money at anything labled Ajax or Web 2.0, and Web publishing becomes so simple that anyone with a working mouse hand can put up a site, i offer my list of the 25 worst Web sites of all time.

Jaxtr Widget Lets Social Networkers Chat On Real Live Phones

A company called jaxtr, which launches in private beta today, allows users to connect their personal phone to their digital personality.
Jaxr is a widget that users can put into their social networking sites or blogs. When someone has a jaxtr widget, it means you can call them in real-time. Jaxtr members assign a specific number to their widget.
When a caller sees that widget, they can click it and jaxtr will ask them for their own phone number. The caller’s phone will ring, and when the caller picks up, jaxtr will ring the recipient who originated the widget. If the recipient was not available, jaxtr will notify them that they have a voicemail that they can access by calling into their jaxt service.


Fortunately, jaxtr never discloses the call recipient’s phone number so you can install a widget without ever exposing personal information. Users can also block callers or specify on a per-caller basis which callers can reach them live and which get routed to voice mail. The service is free but local phone rates apply.

“There is nothing less satisfying than creating a social network page or blog and not getting a response,” said Guericke. “Social networks are a catalyst for people to meet, and jaxtr ‘jacks up’ the power of networks to help users make new connections. By putting a widget on their social network page or blog, jaxtr users can hear from callers worldwide on their existing landline or mobile phone.”
I have to say, I don’t always find it unsatisfying to blog and not get a response. There are several responses to my posts that I could certainly live without

Get Search Query Results Via IM

Recently launched ChaCha (beta), has debuted as the first Internet search engine, that replies to queries via IM.

Unlike other search engines, ChaCha allows its users to address their queries to 'guides' who help them with live customized search. Users may chat with the guides about their questions, via a small instant message chat window on the site, while the guide provides the user with relevant text results in another window, simultaneously. Moreover, the site also allows users to opt for regular search on the web.

CEO Scott A. Jones said, "ChaCha is for everyone — from the novice searcher to the most experienced. Even expert searchers don't always have all the answers. For instance, say someone wanted to buy his or her teenager a new game for the holidays but didn’t know what game was hip. Well, on ChaCha, one could be connected to a real-life gamer whose expertise and knowledge are perfectly suited for that query. The guide not only helps find the perfect game, but even sends links of where to buy it."

Moreover, ChaCha promises to connect users with the guide who knows something about the search topic. This feature aims at expanding the general knowledge of the user on the subject or even turn the user on to new or different piece of information that's even more relevant.

The guides work from their homes through an application on their own computers. They are then paid according to the hours. Over 14,000 'guides' worldwide, help users find results round the clock and their results are rated by end users on speed and relevance of results. ChaCha is free to consumers and is advertisement supported.
