About Kathmandu
Kathmandu, city, capital of Nepal, in the central part of the country. Also called Katmandu, the city is situated in a fertile lowland (the Valley of Nepal) in the southern Himalayas, at an altitude of about 1220 m (about 4000 ft), near the confluence of the Baghmati and Vishnumati rivers. It is the mountain kingdom's largest city and its chief economic, administrative, and cultural center. A highway extends north to Lhasa, in Tibet, and another road links Kathmandu with Raxaul, a rail center in India. Points of interest in Kathmandu include the elaborate royal palace and the white-domed Bodhnath Stupa, a shrine revered by Tibetan Buddhists. Just west of the city is Swayambhunath Temple, also an important Buddhist site. The city is the site of Tribhuvan University (1959) and the National Museum of Nepal. Kathmandu was founded in 723 and was ruled for centuries by the Newar people. It was captured in 1768 by the Shah dynasty and became their capital. From 1846 to 1951 the powerful Rana family ruled Nepal from here as hereditary prime ministers. The city was badly damaged in 1934 by an earthquake. Population (1991) 419,073.

Third-generation mobile communications:
Though nearly all the Member States have now issued "third-generation" licences, the deployment of mobile third-generation (UMTS or "3G") services is slower than expected and is running into a number of difficulties. This communication gives an overview of the situation in the sector. It also identifies the main challenges which will need to be addressed in order for 3G services to fulfil their role in the implementation of a competitive and dynamic information society.

iPod nano 3rd gen:
iPhone Case Review Roundup:
Apple's iPod nano keeps getting smaller. For the 3rd take it's not only tiny but plays video as well as music. The 2" LED backlit color display, 8 gigs of storage and light price tag should make this one a hit.
iPhone Case Review Roundup:
Whether you paid $599 or $399 for that precious piece of Apple technology, you'll no double want to keep it pretty and protected. We look at six cases from Vaja, DLO and Sena that fit a range of budgets and tastes.
Motorola s9 Bluetooth Active HeadphoneThese slim and stylish Bluetooth stereo headphones are perfect for an active lifestyle. They're very light, water resistant and durable. The S9 is also discreet and works as a headset for voice calls as well as stereo music playback.
Nokia E90 Communicator The rebirth of the Communicator! Now running S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 instead of Series 80, the widescreen E90 has every feature in the book. This quad band unlocked GSM phone has EDGE and Euro-only HSDPA, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus lens, GPS, WiFi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0. It's got the best web browser on the market (like the iPhone it's Safari inside), support for push email and good PIM applications and an Office suite. The E90 Communicator is sold by importers in the US. It's expensive, but it's a powerful, well built machine that does double-duty as a large candy bar phone and a mini notebook with a flip of the clamshell lid.
Sony Vaio SZ650 It's hard to beat the Sony Vaio SZ line of 13" notebook computers. They're slim, light and lovely looking yet they boast serious power under the hood. The just-released SZ6 series moves up to the Intel Santa Rosa platform for increased speed, better graphics, draft N networking and more. We look at the SZ650N/C which is a 2.2GHz machine with an 800MHz FSB, 2 gigs of RAM, a hybrid hard drive, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, dual layer DVD burner, webcam and more. Being Sony, they manage to fit this into a machine that weighs just under 4 lbs. The SZ6 series have black carbon fiber casings and white LED backlit XBrite displays for ultimate eye candy. And they have hybrid graphics which means you can change from the integrated Intel X3100 to dedicated NVIDIA 8400M graphics with the flip of a switch.
Apple iPhone Probably the most talked about consumer electronics or mobile phone ever, the iPhone is finally here. And yes, it works as well as it does in the demo videos on Apple's website. The iPhone is wildly innovative thanks to its unique touch screen that's gesture sensitive, multi-press aware and it even knows when it's close to your face and turns the touch screen off. It's super-fast, has the best web browser we've seen on a PDA or smartphone, syncs to Macs and PCs, is a full iPod Video and it has a capable email client. It's available only through AT&T, and it's a GSM world phone with EDGE for data. Also included are a 2MP camera, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR.

Dodge Challenger production cars for 2008
The only criticisms of the Challenger so far seem to be sour grapes from the import crew, which, ignoring the Mini and FJ Cruiser, proclaimed that only Detroit would look to the past instead of the future for inspiration. (These are the same people who slam the Hemi’s “old technology,” ignoring its best-in-class efficiency and unsurpassed cylinder deactivation system.)
The production Challenger will keep the LX’s multilink rear suspension. Some things would have to change to make it economically feasible and real-world driveable; the aerodynamics have not been tested, and the shape would have to change a bit. The wheelbase alteration would add considerably to the cost of production, and the width probably would hurt as well. The Hemi would have a standard air filter, catalytic converters, and muffler. Chrysler has confirmed two engines, the 5.7 Hemi and the 6.1 Hemi, the latter available in an SRT-8 model. The timetable currently calls for 2008 production as a 2008 model, suggesting that the timeframe is more January-February than September-October.

Nokia N95 Convergence Has A New Name

Duel sim mobile with PDA function and T.V.function
And what a shell that is—the colour combinations are classy (we received a silver-dull metallic green), as is the matte finish. Quality of plastic is top-notch. We were surprised at the compactness of the thing, especially when you consider the functionality: the 5MP camera, and the absolutely gorgeous 2.6-inch, 24-bit screen (nearly all phones still use 18-bit screens). The number keypad is well laid out—an achievement for a slider phone—but the hard touch keys combined with the slightly raised surface makes finger-pad touch-typing a pain. Thankfully the keys are suitably laid out for nail-touch typing. The double slider is a first—slide down and your number pad is accessible, slide up and four (blue backlit) media player keys pop into view. Another first—a 3.5 mm jack inbuilt on a Nokia phone! While grooving to MP3s, all calls are automatically diverted to the loudspeaker. The music player’s very functional. Sound quality is decent on the supplied earplugs, but the N95 really comes into its own on a set of good plugs—this phone is an MP3 killer! The 5MP camera is another first—great image quality and a good flash unit. However, like with all phone cameras, the zoom is useless. A boon is the lens protector. 2 GB of MicroSD comes bundled; its hot-swap. There’s a fully-functional GPS application inbuilt. This works well in conjunction with a GPRS connection. Wi-Fi (g protocol) is inbuilt, as is the mandatory Bluetooth (version 2.0, now with A2DP), and the Jurassic IR. The N95 also incorporates FM radio. One gripe is the battery—950 mAh just isn’t going to be enough for such a feature-rich phone. An excellent piece of hardware—loads of features, stunning looks, and an amazing screen—in short performance to match the looks. It’s pricey at Rs 40,249 we’d suggest waiting for a price cut, but keep in mind, at this price point, there’s nothing close to matching the N95! Specifications Tri-band GSM; Symbian OS Series 60 version 3.1; weight: 120 gm; screen: 240 x 320 (2.6 inches); 160 MB internal memory; EDGE/3G support; 5MP camera; inbuilt GPS Contact: Nokia India Phone: 0124-41990000 E-mail: NA Web site: www.nokia.co.in Price: Rs 40,249 RATINGS Performance 4 Features 4 Value for Money 3 Build Quality 4 Overall 4
