Dalawing launched ubislate 7+ and you can prebook ubislate 7+ from the website. Just for your information; Ubislate is a revised, commercial, non-subsidized version of Aakash tablet. The new version of this tablet is called Ubislate7+, but its price still on affordably low, only INR 2999/- .

Technical Specification:

Both 7+ and 7C more or less identical but 7+ comes with resistive screen where as 7+ has capacitive screen. Other specification which comes with low cost, largely acceptable and wonderful tablet is below:
• Microprocessor: – Cortex A8 – 800 Mhz
• Battery : – 3200 mAh
• Operating System: – Android Gingerbread2.3
• Network: – WiFi & GPRS (SIM & Phone functionality)
• Memory: 7+: 256mb RAM with 2 GB internal flash storage / 7c: 256mb RAM with 4 GB internal flash storage
• Memory expandable up to 32GB with a microSD card
• One full USB 2.0 port
• GPRS with Wi-Fi a/b/g
• Rated with 3 hours of battery life with a 3200 mAh battery

Price for ubislate 7+ tablet: Rs.2,999 (Optional Internet: Rs.98/mo.)

The device includes WiFi & GPRS connectivity allowing anytime & anywhere internet access and phone functionality. Optional 3G modems are also supported via USB. In addition to a micro-SD card slot, a full-sized USB port is integrated into the unit allowing pen-drives, external keyboards, web-cams, dongles and other inexpensive peripherals to be attached. Considering the price, you will get a good deal with Ubislate 7+ or 7C, sturdy with a matte plastic finish, feels handy. Physical body of the device is quite ergonomic to hold.

There was a recurring theme with our first hands-on of the fabled Ubislates, there seemed to be many compromises, but the price absolutely blew them away. At र2,999 for the 7+ and र3,999 for the 7C, our complaints with the devices failed to gain ground. For the price, they offer a good value-for-money proposition and it would be interesting to see how well they do in the Indian market and whether they are able to bring out a digital revolution. Consumers that have pre-booked the Ubislate 7+ should start receiving them shortly and retail availability would only start once all pre-bookings have been fulfilled. Delivery of the Ubislate 7C on the other hand will start near the end of May.

The much awaited new Maruti swift will be rolled out from Maruti’s Manesar plant in Haryana and up till now Maruti has not shared the pricing details of all-new Swift 2011.

The car will come with 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel variants. It was reported that the new model, built on a slightly longer yet new platform, will be little extra roomy, lighter and return better mileage than the current generation Swift.

Engineers have also achieved a substantial reduction in the overall weight of the car by replacing the metal fuel tank with a plastic tank. This will improve its fuel efficiency by a little over 13 per cent.
This will be the first major face-lift for the Swift since it was launched six years ago. Pricing details of the new car has not been shared by the company.

The petrol variant will return a mileage of around 20 km a litre, as compared to 17.9 km per litre certified by the Automotive Research Association of India. Similarly, the diesel model will deliver around 23.8 km per litre, as against the existing 21 km a litre.

The report stated that for installing the plastic fuel tanks, Maruti Suzuki India has tied up with France’s Plastic Omnium, the world’s largest manufacturer of plastic fuel tanks as it was mentioned that plastic fuel tanks are usually 25-35 per cent lighter than the conventional metal tanks. Besides, these are corrosion-free, durable, non-explosive and easily recyclable.
The Swift which is available now in petrol, diesel and CNG versions and priced between Rs 3.9-5.5 lakh, sells close to 12,000 units every month. It recorded a growth of 21 per cent last year selling over 140,000 units as against 116,000 units sold in the previous year.

The Swift accounts for about 25 per cent of the hatchback segment, and competes with Hyundai i20, Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia, Nissan Micra, Fiat Punto and Toyota Liva. It was also mentioned that Maruti is also preparing to launch a new Swift Dzire, which will be cheaper and will probably hit the market by early 2012.

The secret of looking good is style. Today’s women are more cautious about their looks especially when they reach certain age like 40 plus. None of us, particularly women, want to feel that they are getting older. They want to keep their beautiful looks for ever.

Turning forty is a watershed to many of us. Wrinkles begin to appear and the odd grey hair start to pop up and you starts gaining weight while you are busy to bringing up your family and mot paying so much attention to yourself. You afraid of sagging muscle bulges and afraid of wrinkles showing their age. But do you really have to worry? As the old saying goes “Life begins at 40″. Of course not, there are few things you need to know and to work out on how to look good at 40 plus.

First thing is to realize and accept that aging is the process that we all have to go through. People at 40 are more interesting, confident and wise.

How to look good at 40 plus : Skin care at 40

(1) Create a sense of style. DO not wear clothes that you are used to wear when you were in your teens or 20s like min-skirts. Remember those funky dress are wear by young people to create their own style and you are on your 40s and you are already done.

(2) Skin care after forty – You need to follow some skin care routine like always remember to remove your makeup before going to bed, wash your face when you feel it something oily or after coming back from market. In addition apply homemade face pack. Here are few that can work:
(a) Paste of rice flour, tomato and grape juice
(b) Homemade white butter with turmeric.
(c) Use glycerin with rose water and lime juice.
Apply any of these on face and leave it for 15-20 minutes and wash with Luke warm water. Be careful if your skin is too sensitive for any of these.

(3) Most effective anti-aging tool is exercise. Add 30 minute exercise with healthy dose of vitamins and anti-oxidants nutrients in your diet like carrot, spinach, tomato etc.

(4) As we get older the grey hairs start to peep through and on some people it can look great but on the majority of us it is extremely ageing, so make sure that you choose a great color that will flatter your skin tone and not make you look drained. Initially I suggest consulting a good hairdresser about the shade.

(5) Use creams and lotion that contains antioxidants, Vit C & E, alpha lipolic acid and retinol. Antioxidants destroy rough molecules like free radicals and peptides and retinol stimulates collagen production.

It may just be an elaborate hoax, but a video has surfaced showing the body of an alien found dead in snow in Siberia.

The slender, badly damaged corpse was found lying on a bed of snow with its head to one side and mouth slightly open, the Daily Mail reported.

The video, posted on April 17 on YouTube, has already had over 100,000 views and showed the body of the unidentified “creature”.
Irkutsk, Russia is apparently a known UFO hotspot, and UFO believers think the body was left behind by alien visitors after an accident, or was missed in a clean-up by the Russian government as part of some sort of alien cover-up.

Dozens of UFO sightings are reported every year in the area, and only last month there were reports of an unidentified object hurtling into the nearby Irkutsk region of Siberia.

“We couldn’t believe it when we saw it. And what was spooky is that there was no sign of the spaceship. Perhaps that was taken away and the body overlooked,” said Igor Molovic, one of the pair that uploaded the video.
However, not everyone is a true believer.
Some believe it is actually a carefully crafted model of an alien’s body, and not the real deal.
However, many UFO lovers still believe.

“It’s so lame how people always get thrilled by having another excuse to shout ‘Fake! fake!’ every time something weird shows up. Unless proven otherwise, this is in fact plausible,” posted one user.
Another said; “If this is fake – then they are masters at models/puppets. I think it’s real – one of the very few, great vid.”
