For those of you who loved the Nokia Surge introduced by Nokia and AT&T in America, here’s something to be happy about.

There are also some improvements to the phone.

If rumors are to be believed, Apple is preparing the next generation of the iPod Touch. That’s not the best of the news. The new iPod Touch is said to come with a Camera and Microphone and even built-in Skype software.
Sources say that Apple has already begun manufacturing the new range of iPod Touch models in China’s factories.
The news should be true because the timing is exactly correct. Apple usually announces the new iPods, a month or two after the new iPhone is announced. In this way, people buy the new iPods don’t affect much of the iPhone sales especially the huge initial sales.
The new features of the iPod will boost it’s sale tremendously. iPod Touch already has many features not available on other devices so having a camera and a microphone only makes the device better.
Let’s wait and see what Apple have in store for us.

Colors Swathy has got good salable value after the film ‘Asta Chemma’ and that has carried expectations on the movie ‘Kalavaramaye Madilo’. And that is the only factor that hooked the audiences to look at this film. Let us see how far the expectations are reached.
Story:
Sreya (Swathy) lives with her mother (Delhi Rajeshwari) and works in an Audit Office. But she loves singing and hence gets into earning by joining as a stage singer in a Star Hotel. She also holds a dream of singing in the composition of AR Rehman.
Sastry (Tanikella Bharani) makes ways to find a concert for his friend who is a classical singer Rao (Vikram Gokhale). They happen to come to that Star Hotel in search of a chance at the same place and listen to Sreya’s performance. Rao shouts on her quoting the standards of music. Sreya takes that as a challenge and goes to the same Rao to learn music.
Srinu (Kamal Kamarj) a London returned guy happens to be the pair for Sreya.
What happens later and how Sreya fulfils her dreams form rest of the story.
Performances:
Colors Swathy:
She is the only pulling factor for this film. She did her best in justifying the role. Fun, humor and energy were given by her in first half. But the second half demanded pathos part in her and hence audiences get to see a new Swathy with tears.
Kamal Kamaraju:
It is good that he improved muscles and looking macho. At the same time he needs to improve a lot in the matters of action and dialogue delivery. His guitar scene is very eccentric and such hysterical scenes should be done only when they are necessary.
Vikram Gokhale:
He is very new to Telugu screen. Audiences can connect to him only when he can deliver all sorts of histrionics required for silver screen. But he didn’t. He underplayed a lot in that passive patient role leaving no sense for his presence in the movie. He is known as very good stage artiste in Maharashtra but he proved not the only choice for the role. And the dubbing voice of renowned SP Balasubrahmanyam given to him is another flaw.
Others:
Tanikella Bharani did his best. He recalls the role of Sarath Babu in Sagarasangamam for some time and that of Allu Ramalingiah in Sankarabharanam for other time.
Delhi Rajeshwari is ok in her role but appeared weaker than before.
Pragathi (hero’s mother) missed timing in delivering dialogues as well as expressions. This can be considered as one of her poor performances in recent time.
Technical Departments:
There is nothing great or less to mention about any technical department and everything went in run of the mill state. Dialogues are good and sensible to large extent but the problem arrived with screenplay. The wellness of dialogues got smoked by lengthy indoctrinating scenes where not required, especially in second half.
Music and Lyrics:
Sarath Vasudevan’s music is mediocre. He needs to improve in orchestration part. Vanamali’s lyrics are good especially in two numbers- ‘Tholi Asalenno’ and ‘Pallavinchina…’.
Highlights:
Colors Swathy
Disappointments:
Screenplay
No sufficient entertainment
Analysis:
The religion of the director who happens to be the story writer of the movie seems to be ‘Vishwanathism’ as far as this film is concerned. To elaborate, the elements in the films Sagarasangamam, Sankarabharanam, Sruthi Layalu and Swarna Kamalam would role on minds’ screen while watching this film. And there is nothing wrong and such attempt deserves praises. But it’s not just the story that becomes a movie. Proper screenplay, scene conviction and free flow are required to hook the audiences. And moreover, such films need a right proportion of humor to balance the equation.
The attempt of director to bring pathos in climax is laudable but the blend missed the goal. The choice of artistes is not so impressive. And the director didn’t do any attempt to balance the equation of emotions those are being delivered in the movie.
First half goes little better with the humor and trademark style of Colors Swathy. But the second half mars the enthusiasm levels of audiences with heaviness in scenes and narration. Lack of timing while delivering dialogues and giving expressions hindered the free flow in narration.
Apart from this, the directors should know that there is huge talent within known sources and need not run for artistes like Vikram Gokhale.
On a whole it’s an old concoction attempted to serve with newness but couldn’t reach the expectation.
Attempt of director can be appreciated but pity on would-be box office result.
Bottom-line: Should be watched with ‘big heart’ to say ‘it’s good’
The Blackberry Storm just arrived in our test labs today. The BB 9500 a.ka. Storm is the first ever full touchscreen Blackberry device.
No QWERTY keyboard like the other blackberries but it’s got SurePress technology so that you can use the screen alone. The display is gorgeous and we are drooling at it already.
Since we have got a lot of requests from users to review Blackberry phones you can expect to see lots of posts on the 9500 Storm and 8900 Javelin. Here is a short preview of the Storm.
The phone is botting up for the first time.
The Phone features a 480 x 360 display which is really usefull when typing emails or watching videos.
.
The folks over at Android Community have managed to get their hands on the HTC Hero Android Phone which features the HTC Sense Technology . It’s also the first android phone to support Adobe Flash out of the box ! The Hero is runs the cupcake 1.5 version of the Android OS but it’s got a customized UI.
Look ma , No keys !
The phone has a teflon coating which you could find only on non-stick pans so far. But this coating on a phone means that the phone will hold on to your hands tighter.
The top features the proprietary htc usb port which hopefully will be replaced by a stand microUSB connector in future !
The front row comprises of the call , home,menu, hangup keys on row 1 and the track ball , search and back keys on the 2nd row.
5 Megapixel Camera on the Rear with Auto-Focus .. Don’t understand why HTC hates to place inbuilt flash on Android phones.
