Integrating mobile technology to one of India’s favorite pastimes, watching soap operas, is a very risky gamble taken by Rajshri Productions. This first ever 90-episode series on mobile phones will be available in India by the end of January 2008.

The experimental program is a comedic soap opera running for 3 minutes per episode. With more than 220 million people owning mobile phones in India, the opportunity is too tempting to pass up.

The company set up Rajshri Media last year to focus on new media entertainment like mobile phones, Internet, and portable media players. As these devices become the “personal entertainment touch points to the audience”, the more it becomes relevant in serving the changing needs of the consumers.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has instituted new rules for carrying spare rechargeable batteries on an airplane. Starting on January 1, 2008, these must go in the traveler’s carry-on baggage, not in their checked baggage.

As we enter another challenging yet very exciting year that is 2008 we cannot help but be thankful for those people who made our lives more beautiful with their presence and support. One of the best ways to tell those persons that we care and remember them is through SMS or MMS.

That’s why Verizon Wireless is expecting its customers will send more than 300 million messages from 12 p.m. today until 4 a.m. tomorrow, New Year’s Day.

“During holidays such as New Year’s Eve, text, picture and video messages allow our customers to personalize their communications with friends and family. Last New Year’s Eve, our customers sent and received more than 284 million text messages and nearly 4.75 million multimedia messages, so we fully expect to surpass the 300 million mark tonight,” said Verizon Wireless VP and chief marketing officer Mike Lanman, in a press release.

Sure, this might not mean much for many people because we’re used to send the same message to all our contacts. Take time to personalize your messages and make it heartfelt as possible.

Oh, by the way, I wish all readers of MobileWhack a very happy and prosperous 2008!

It seems like FCC presented a nice New Year gift for music lovers. Those of you, who were not able to purchase the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, watch for the upcoming Nokia 5610 XpressMusic.

The company has increased the configuration of the integrated camera in Nokia 5610 from 2.0 MP to 3.0 megapixel and music playback from 18 hours to 22 hours.

The final day of the year 2007. It’s cloudy and misty and rain is in the air. Very mild for this time of year actually.

2007 was a mixed bag for many people. It was a year of extremes - joy and sadness in equal measures, but life changing for myself and my wife as our son Adam was born into the world this year.

This sunset was shot at Garrettstown Beach a few weeks ago. Dedicated to the memory of Gerry who visited that beach with us before she passed away.
