Making available a media player which is finger friendly as well was the main inspiration behind the development of this product.

Large buttons with damn simple user interface is a great reason to replace your default media player by Nitrogen.

Windows Mobile Music Player

Here is the complete feature list for Nitrogen –

• Supports formats like MP3/OGG/WMA/WAV/AAC/MP4/M4U files.

I installed it on my phone (not a touch screen), it worked fine, though being a touch screen oriented app, there were limitations, which didn’t allow me to enjoy it fully, but still, I think using this app on a touch screen phone will definitely be a great experience. Moreover it has almost all the features that you ever wanted in your media player.

Give it a try and tell us if you too like this app. Download Nitrogen

In 1980, the world was a different place.

There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo.

In 1980, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.

Year you were born

Why we should have this option:

• With cheaper storage price we have everything in our hard drives which can be used to create a theme i.e. Wallpapers, tones, sounds files, screen savers etc. So if we do have option to create theme I can just pull of these parts and create theme just for me.
• There are developers who create themes but that’s not an easy task. You need to take care of everything right from resolution to icons etc.
• Download themes of such huge size takes lot of time and consumes lot of bandwidth.

So here is my version on what Windows Theme creator should have

Windows 7 Create theme

• A Wizard.
• Allows me to select high resolution wallpaper and then re size for different resolution. At least let me select 3-4 resolution.
• Allows me to select different drive icons, background images for explorer.
• Sound scheme by using ring tones, music files we have on computer. If required an inbuilt converter which supports few formats.
• Hooks for developers if they want to plug-in their own functionality.

I know I can change the existing theme but given this option, it will open lot of possibilities for developers also.  So what do you think ? Do you need a theme creator like this ?

TryPhone is definitely an amazing tool, great for trying out a phone and making an opinion about it, developers of TryPhone have done  a great job, though the simulation has some limitations, still using it gives quite a perfect idea of what the phone will look like when in your hand.

Visit TryPhone, and see it yourself, don’t you agree with me?

hi guys

we are slowly going out of our topic i think, may be because of me.

i got some information regarding bank transfers.

anybody knows in which way paypal transfers money to our accounts. the answer is “NEFT”. And currently this scheme is not functioning in India. My guessing is it closed it’s functioning from our independence day. So all the transactions were completed before that. But the new transactions after 26th will not be processed because the whole system is out of order.

RBI is going to fine tune the NEFT in certain criteria. see the below URLS.

• http://www.newkerala.com/news/fullnews-45595.html
• http://www.navhindtimes.in/business-news/8292-rbi-to-make-changes-in-neft-functioning-to-enhance-speed
• http://www.taxguru.in/rbi/national-electronic-funds-transfer-neft-system-%E2%80%93-refinement-of-process-flow-and-enhancement-of-features.html

so they told the NEFT system will run again from March 01. so if this the root cause for all the problems then we will get all our money on next month alone. God will help us.

There is no any information about the pending transactions in RBI. Even i can’t see these postings in RBI site. so RBI persons will not know anything about this. Also my bank persons didn’t get any information about this modifications so far. They will get information in the forth coming weeks then only start the necessary modifications, i think they are not started anything yet regarding this new modifications.

And if this is the real problem then why paypal reverse the transactions? And they can directly tell the truth to us. Because so many ways and other methods available to process the transactions. other than paypal, the remaining providers are using different methods. that is why they are working now itself.

And also the increase of NEFT transaction increases because of bank verification scheme of paypal (which we discussed earlier).
it will increase two more transactions for each person. Because of this alone it raised on January 2010.

And what is going on in india and RBI, why they didn’t told anything about this in media. I never see any information in media regarding this.

My another question is whether paypal has any legal issues related to hold the money in fly. that is whether they have any limitations to hold money to certain $ alone. in that case paypal may not hold more money than the limit, so they should reverse. But i don’t know about this.

So My conclusion is we will not get money on this month through paypal or RBI. Do some precautions at least for this month.

Also i need to tell you, some of my friends paypal accounts were become processing their regular US sites. That means their account become unverified in those sites (may be freelancer sites). i don’t know the reason for this. Also some of the indian paypal personnel accounts didn’t have withdrawal screens for INDIAN Bank/credit cards. they automatically removed for those users. is it anybody have these kind of problems?

The above issue should be announced publicly at least before a month. why did the RBI or PAYPAL not doing this?

Thanks
Gavaskar
