On the other side, there have been some reports that M&M Cevalo 125cc Bike is also expected to see a launch in India. Both these bike models are currently generating a lot of heat in the Indian Automobile market.

Verizon iPhone 4: Apple's Best Concealed Secret?

Verizon iPhone 4: Apple's Best Concealed Secret? There is obviously the element of surprise that Steve Jobs can spring up on us. But unless that happens, the Verizon iPhone 4 is not happening in this year. The exclusivity issue associated with the iPhone is also expected to be nullified.


The on-deck version of the smartphones is not quite the same market as the one in which you go to a mobile store and get yourself a new handset. The iPhone 4 becoming available in the mobile market has been featuring almost all major news and rumors for quite a bit of time now. And now the Verizon iPhone 4 has made it in the speculative news once again as it has been stacked away for the time being.

The iPod in its new avatar has been launched in the month of September and the Mac also has been addressed in the month of October as the back to the Mac made its mark in the way of the MacBook Air or other updates in software. But that should be it for the year as the company usually do not tend to release new products in the last couple of months of the year. There is obviously the element of surprise that Steve Jobs can spring up on us. But unless that happens, the Verizon iPhone 4 is not happening in this year.

That being so ruins the air of expectation among many people of getting hold of the device from Verizon Wireless come the holiday season in the winter time. The newer reports about the fourth generation of the iPhone being on the network of Verizon is not going to happen any time before the spring of the coming year.

The exclusivity issue associated with the iPhone is also expected to be nullified with the same. The iPad is already being sold by Verizon. However, people still seem to believe that Jobs may just address the press in the eleventh hour and give the Verizon iPhone 4 to the world in this year some time itself.

Highlights Hidden Threat to 4G: Spectrum Fragmentation

­Regulators pondering how to carve out spectrum to support 4G networks are missing the forest for the trees. While focusing on finding spectrum large enough to support 4G's higher speeds and innovative applications, they are failing to harmonize their choices across geographies, resulting in worldwide spectrum fragmentation. And that means tomorrow's 4G handsets may not work from country to country, stifling user adoption and curtailing roaming - and revenue, according to Yankee Group.

The report's global spectrum survey finds:
Europe gets it mostly right. Europe is taking a harmonized approach to both spectrum and technology, with key new networks rolling out in Sweden, Norway and Germany all using consistent spectrum bands.
The U.S. goes it alone. By allowing carriers to take spectrum in advance of the rest of the world and fragmenting its 700 MHz digital dividend, the U.S. is ending up out of step with not just Mexico but also Canada.
Asia is slow to decide. Across the region, regulators have moved slowly to clear existing occupants from key spectrum. Plus, Japan - like the U.S. - continues to allocate spectrum with little regard for international harmonization.

"If these trends continue, vendors will not be able to make devices that work everywhere and consumers will not easily roam across networks when traveling to different countries," said Ken Rehbehn, principal analyst at Yankee Group and author of the report. "This greatly threatens 4G's success, since roaming revenue will fall and consumers will seek alternatives, like Wi-Fi."
