Gone are the days when mobile phone was just an instrument to talk to a person away from you while travelling(or mobile). The scenario has changed now.Our latest cellphone boasts of 600Mhz processor,384 MB RAM,upto 32 GB memory card and many more things…. Google Nexus One has a 1 Ghz processor.A speed i thought was just restricted to PC. Why is the mobile becoming so smart ? Mobile is no longer a phone its a companion and the mobile companies are ensuring that they provide you with the required features. The buzz word these days is the ‘App’,short for applications….

“This post has been written in response to ’suggest a post’ request by Ish(ish-bagga.blogspot.com).” We all have heard/studied/read about the Product Lifecycle(PLC).The concept says that Product like a human being has a finite life.It grows, matures and then dies. Lets take an example.Floppy Disk is no longer available now but it was a hot cake at one time.Even till 2001-02 floppies existed in market.The product just died. Brands on the other hand don’t exactly follow a life cycle.Brands can be immortal unless they commit suicide.Brand and product are closely related.A brand is nothing without a product or service but brand can evolve…

Now when i…

Is it just another ‘me-too’ touch phone in the market or is it THE phone we had been waiting for ? If it has Google’s name attached to it,it ought to be good.The initial reviews are good. Analysts say the phone(to be sold directly to consumers) is not expected to dramatically alter the carrier-hardware vendor relationship the industry relies on, nor is it likely to…

Finally the much awaited Windows 7 is out.The reviews are good,ratings are high.Microsoft didn’t leave any stone unturned for the BIG launch.There were ads,conferences,free copies for developers etc etc Lets have a look at this commercial of Windows 7 which came much before its release. Just give attention to words the kid says in the end ,” I am a PC and more happy is coming !” This reminded me the ever going war between PC and MAC depicted mostly in the PC Vs MAC ads from APPLE. After seeing the above ad i was really waiting for the Apple’s response to…

It all started when TIME magazine named YOU the person of the year in 2006.It was all due to the power a normal guy has these days.Facebook,twitter,blogs and YouTube have given us the power to start anything,share anything. This new concept has just not ended here but has gone a lot deeper into the way a product is marketed these days. Companies are using ‘You’,’Me’,Yours’,’us’ as marketing keywords to attract the customer.Every customer is made to feel special. In recent days many companies,majority being high tech companies have come up with campaigns and products highlighting the personal touch. Apple used…
