Airtel will launch 3G iPhones in India on August 22

Just a quick heads up to all our Indian readers – Reuters is reporting that India’s mobile operator, Bharti Airtel will launch the 3G iPhones in India on the 22nd of August, 2008 (that’s just a few weeks from now). Great news, read the very brief report here.

Zenith’s SmartStyle Personal Computer
Indian PC manufacturer Zenith Computer unveiled last week its latest offering, the SmartStyle PC. The SmartStyle PC sports a very radical design, and comes with a 17 inch LCD monitor, a keyboard and a mouse.

The CPU is engrafted behind the LCD. It’s possible to hang the monitor on the wall, or even attach it to a table top computer. That is pretty cool.
Configuration/Specs: The Zenith SmartStyle PC runs on an Intel Dual Core T2130 Processor and has an 80 GB hard disk and 1 GB RAM. Speakers are in-built, and networking slots are present. Though the SmartStyle PC lacks an optical drive, there’s a slot available to install any DVD burner.
The PC is expected to sell for about Rs. 20,000 and I must mention the configuration is pretty decent.
I know some of you’re going to say Mac has this sort of design (which is actually more professional-looking, agreed hands down), but this PC has a cheap price tag. I think this is a very good buy for anyone on a budget.
Have your say in the comments.
