Orange Edge : They are now offering the ksh 1/Mbyte bundle - fyi
by aki 17 Jul '09

Sharing... I called Orange today for another issue and got talking about the Ksh 2000/2000Mbytes service. A CS lady called Beth, after a brief discussion with her supervisor, confirmed that the above package was available, to my surprise as last week it wasn't after talking to another CS person and also unable to buy that bundle. She was apologetic about the misinformation I had received last week. I loaded ksh 2000, bought the bundle and it works.

1.5 billion Apple App Store downloads achieved in a year
by aki 16 Jul '09

Today Apple<http://www.gsmarena.com/15_billion_apple_app_store_downloads_achieved_in_a_…>announced that the number of downloaded applications from their App Store has just exceeded 1.5 billion. Just one short year after the launch of the online application store the figures unequivocally suggest that this is one of the most successful projects in the mobile industry history. What's even better for Apple is that the download rate is increasing - it was less than 3 months ago when the counter on the company's website flipped over the one billion mark. This suggests that since that moment an average of more than 6 million apps have been downloaded every day. With more than 65,000 apps available to 40 million iPhone and iPod touch consumers in 77 countries those numbers aren't really surprising but they are a success nonetheless. We are only hoping the quantity will improve quality and the percentage of actually useful apps will be too be on the rise in the future. http://www.gsmarena.com/15_billion_apple_app_store_downloads_achieved_in_a_…
