Compare Prices on Your Android Phone with MySmartPrice App

Imagine you are a store that sells mobile phones or laptops. Usually I have used MySmartPrice's website to compare prices offered by online retailers. It sometimes can help you get a discount from a physical store. More importantly you know if you are not getting ripped off. MySmartPrice has rolled out a Android app which also allows price comparison.The listed items are several and the prices are mined from several Indian e-commerce websites. MySmartPrice's Android App to Compare Prices I found the app very simple. The focus mainly geared towards mobile phones, electronics goods and computers. Browse through the categories and look up the name of the company under which various items are sub-categorized. It shows the list of those items available with their prices. Tap on one of them and we get the cheapest price of that particular selection. We can swipe and look up specifications and also a complete list of prices from various online retail portals in India. I was a little disappointed to not find a "books" category to look up the prices. I guess for books available on Indian sites, you might like to check out Low Price app. Check out MySmartPrice's Android app and do drop in your comments.

Dropbox Links: Share Files and Folders with Non-Dropbox users

Dropbox has a great way for sharing files using links.With Dropbox Links it allows users to share files and folders of any size with practically anyone. The ones accessing the shared files will not even need a Dropbox account. Earlier this could be done, only if with files shared on a public folder. Dropbox has removed the restrictions of size and type of files which can be shared publicly. So basically the file size depends on the storage limit of your account. Dropbox Links Features Log into your account and click on the "Link" icon next to any folder or file. You can share it with a simple URL. If you are using Dropbox from your PC, right-click on the folder and under Dropbox, select "Share Link".That will direct you to the Dropbox web portal. Any user with access to the shared link will be able to view the folder and files. They will not be required to have their own Dropbox account. At the "Dropbox Links" dashboard, users can access the files shared previously and also remove them (see below). With Dropbox's new photo-viewing UI, I find it the best way to share photos with people who don't have an account. There is no doubt that Dropbox is taking aim at Google Drive. Google had rolled out options of adding large attachments over upto 10 GB from Google Drive into Gmail. I have been using Dropbox for almost three years now. While I also use Google Drive mainly for work, I still do most of my personal file storing and sharing on Dropbox. What are your views on Dropbox Links?

Apple launches iTunes Store in India

Apple has launched a new iTunes store available in India. The iTunes India store has a lot of India centric content and more importantly the pricing is affordable. The new iTunes store, has been launched in 56 counties which includes India. While Flipkart also has introduced DRM-free MP3 music files, iTunes has gone a step further. Users can download movies in HD formats and the pricing again is a big incentive. Indian centric content now available on iTunes at affordable prices Movies can typically be rented or bought outright. For instance one of the latest Hindi movie was priced at INR 120 for renting and could be bought for INR. 420. The SD versions available are a lot cheaper. Rented movies typically allow users 30 days to watch the movie, while once you start watching the movie, it has to be finished within 48 hours. The music seemed to be typically prices around INR 20 but some international songs were available for over INR 100. Apple atleast at the moment of writing this post, has not declared any tie-up with major Indian film studios and music companies but looking at the the listing of content available, I won't be surprised with Apple having some sort of tie-ups in India. Future of iTunes India Store Even though the sale of iPhones is not as high as other countries particularly because of their high price, iPod are actually sold in pretty strong numbers. Also considering India's movie and music industry is huge, the iTunes India specific store could actually end up being a pretty big deal. Flipkart, whose Flyte store which is now selling e-books and music might have some worrying to do but honestly their app is cross-platform. -- This Post Apple launches iTunes Store in India is Published on Devils Workshop .

Google to host Great Indian Shopping Festival in India on 12th December 2012

I have always wondered why online retailers in India do not have something that is similar to "Cyber Monday" discount sales. In the U.S, online retail giants offer special discounts on the Monday that follows the "Thanksgiving weekend". India does not really have anything similar for its online shoppers. That is hopefully about to change with Google joining hands with the largest e-commerce portals in India to roll out a single day discount event. It is dubbed the Great Online Shopping Festival and has popular online retailers like Flipkart, Myntra, Jabong, HomeShop 18, snapdeal, Big Rock, Yebhi and many more are involved. Why are "Shopping Festivals" important in the online world? Why physical retailers have their shopping festivals coinciding with festival holidays like Diwali and Christmas. Online shopping festivals with attractive discounts act try to replicate the sort of heavy shopping activity. Even though India has over 120 million internet users, buying things online has not really caught on as much as it has in other countries. Maybe such coordinated efforts would give it the right amount of boost for online shopping to really take off in a big way in India. Do visit GOSF website and let me know your views on discount sale festival in your comments.

Guess What Facebook is Shopping for this Christmas? It’s Whatsapp

It is the last month of the year and Facebook seems to be in the mood for doing some Christmas shopping. The possible first in it's shopping list could be Whatsapp Messenger. Whatsapp is a hugely popular text messaging app and it is known to serve upto 1 billion text messages every single. It works cross-platforms and almost on any smartphone. Why Whatsapp is perfect for Facebook? Facebook has over a billion active users. That number has mass but for its numbers, they are hardly raking in massive revenues. Facebook is traditionally strong as a social product accessed from the desktop browser. It has always been perceived as weak on mobile phones. Facebook has tried to fix by buying Instagram, which is a mobile only photo app that also is social. So what could be next? Whatsapp, seems to be perfect. Most smartphones users across platforms are using Whatsapp for text messaging. Also text messaging is a social activity that no traditional social network has really explored with any kind of success. The rumours are still floating about this acquisition and it could end up being just that. Even if Facebook does not acquire Whatsapp, it might just have started a bidding war with Google and other interested companies. Interestingly, this piece of news emerges on the 20th anniversary of the birth of the SMS. Are you using Whatsapp and will you be happy if it is bought by Facebook?
