TKM #47 - iRetire

Wednesday, 31 August 2011 13:51

In this episode, Manan & I talk about the topic that may well turn out to be the biggest tech story of 2011 - Steve Jobs announcing his retirement. While there cant be a replacement, the succession plan has been well planned. The other stories discussed include Google's Motorola purchase, Samsung Annoucing ChatON, Reliance's 3G Tab, MapMyIndia's Carpad and we had almost forgotten HP's big announcement.

Hi Aditya and Manan,
Please allow me to add my two cents on Carpad:
I feel that a 7" screen for a GPS is an overkill. The screen size is way too big to be put on the dashboard. I am not sure if there is even a mount available to hold the huge device for navigation. I mean can you imagine someone putting a 7" screen in Alto?
Secondly Manan described the on-dash navigation only devices as "dumb". I feel those devices work as a better GPS alternative when compared to the smartphone GPS apps simply because you do not get a 3G connection everywhere to run the GPS apps. The dumb devices do not have that reservation.
