As a smartphone user you must have had what-if-i-loose-this-phone moment. You are worried about all pictures, video and documents you keep on your device. Next you think: how will you get those calendar / sms/ address book/ and that imp number still in call register.
I absolutely love the possibility of controlling your device remotely. Lock it, Track it, Wipe it and yes get backup/restore done so easily. Check the video in Darius of TenCube’s voice.

I am a non-believer of predicting ten things for next year or next decade. (What better than doing those things, instead of predicting?) This kept me from posting this post for a while.
We have a very happy start of a new year in India’s telecom market, consumer has more choices and these choices will grow even more as year progresses. Value Added Services or as I like to call our business Telecom Applications and Services business is reaching center stage and hopefully will empower consumer even more.
A wise consumer, who has started to get more out of phone than a call is now wanting more bang for buck + many more services. Cloud (network) side hosted services are favorite for our market. Simply because they are easy to distribute/discover and available to everyone. They can be updated easily and there is QoS control of service provider.
Market is ripe for sizeable telecom applications / services business, here are my 5 items that should be growth drivers for next 12 months.
Matured Consumers: Consumers are now expecting more from their phone. It is very obvious from kind of handset features today we see them buying. The more they wish, better are the opportunities for us to make and sell services to them. Also majority of our target consumers are on network for more than 6 months – a typical time after which they start exploring additional features. Read more »
One97 Communications has been ranked by Deloitte Tech50 annual survey as the 10th fastest growing company in India. It is also the only company in its segment in the top slots. One97 has also been ranked at the 78th spot in the Asia Pacific ranking of the Deloitte Top 500 Technology Survey. The survey is a ranking based on business performance and technology innovation of the technology driven businesses in India and in other Asia Pacific countries.
More details of the ranking can be found on this link
It is wonderful to see one’s enterprise grow by leaps and bounds but what it does the most is inspire the One97 teams to move to higher benchmarks with each day. It also reaffirms our faith in creating that ‘wow’ factor’ for our customers.
It helps that we are in an industry that is fast evolving and serves a large customer base – in retail, corporate and enterprise segments.
Christopher Morley said There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning.
With more and more mobile subscribers performing mobile payments, it has become increasingly important for mobile payment platform providers to ensure that they offer a secure payment environment to their customers. While we always knew that our PayTM platform was an extremely secure solution for enabling mobile payments, we felt that it is always good to get a second opinion from an independent third party.
So we invited SISA to conduct an external information security audit of our PayTM Network. After an extensive audit process, SISA has issued us the PCI DSS 1.2 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) Security Certificate. We feel that a third party endorsement of our compliance with global security standards will further bolster the customers’ trust in our PayTM Mobile Commerce platform.
The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a multifaceted security standard that includes requirements for security management, data security policies, risk procedures, network architecture and application design. The standard has been developed by VISA, MasterCard and American Express which are among the founding members of the global PCI Security Council. PCI applies to all organizations that store, process or transmit cardholder data. Compliance with this stringent PCI Data Security Standard will enable One97 to proactively protect customers’ account data (credit card details, debit card details and bank account numbers).
With the award of PCI DSS Security Certificate, One97 has become the only secure mobile commerce platform provider in India with end-to-end implementation capability across Voice, Messaging, WAP and Web.

I am using the Blackberry Flip these days and I moved to this from Blackberry bold and before that I used iPhone (first cut) for a while.
I now know that instead of polling-based-email I need a push-email device. Incidentally blackberry does it best and iPhone hack still does not get integrated to enterprise email (we use Google App).
Another important feature is form factor. A big bulky handhald (read: B*B Bold) is skip for me. I like to keep it “hidden” or near to hidden in my hand/pocket.
Third imp factor is music which I can play in my car/take with me and so on. So simply larger HDD does not work but connection of it in my car is equally imp . Either FM transmitter or standard jack which my car could support would do.
Finally, I add app store/app as my last in wish list as I know the most of apps I use are still web/wml/xml based so they can be carried anywhere. A device app which is cool is fancy for few days, rest of days you are struggling with memory and most use app ( in my case messaging). This keeps iPhone 3G out anyways.
the choice lately came between Blackberry Storm (misses wifi ! so no-go ), Palm Pre and an-unknown-next version of iPhone.
Just in case if you haven’t seen the Palm pre yet, here is the video for you.
I am getting convinced that Palm could do the trick with Palm Pre. Did you not love the video and think it is cooler than iPhone? Read more »
