Nokia N900 MID

 Nokia N900 MID

UI is well designed Supports popular video formats like DivX, XviD, FLV Very responsive display Excellent browser Music player lacks settings and volume is low UI is sometimes sluggish and buggy Switching orientation when a call comes in was an issue Skype was not preloaded Poor Battery Life

Nokia’s N900 is, like I said before, more of a mobile computing device or an MID (Mobile Internet Device). It could be misconstrued as a miniature tablet PC as even the ones on their way will comply with most ‘mobile phone’ standards like taking and making calls and messages, but it’s really not. We ran a poll recently asking our readers to share their experiences and views on the N900 and received plenty of feedback (thank you dear readers). This is however my experience with the device and after having sat with some of Nokia’s tech advisors, a few of my issues were cleared up and I’d like to share those with you, should you be interested in buying the device. Take a closer look.

Form Factor

It’s bulky, I’ll say that, but not very much unlike the N96 or N95 for that matter so it’s still easy to carry around even if it does weigh in at 181 grams. The 3.5-inch display is bright and clear enough to view in all conditions and sports an 800 x 480 pixel resolution. I just couldn’t believe they went with a resistive touchscreen. But I was pleasantly surprised to find response was a non-issue. Like the N96, the N900 also has a prop up stand that’s placed around the 5MP camera that’s hidden away by a sliding lens cover (it also activates the cam when slid open).

Volume/zoom keys, a screen lock/power button and the camera’s shutter release are situated at the top. A slider lock for the display and 3.5mm handsfree socket are located on the side, since this is a device that’s meat to be used in landscape mode, this would be considered the side and not the top. This would have been very badly placed if it were to be used in portrait consider the speaker (for calls) is located at the other end beside the display. A micro USB port is placed on the opposite side and doubles up for a charging. Speakers are strategically placed on either side. A stylus can be pulled out from one side at the bottom, but I hardly ever required its use.

The slide out QWERTY keypad, took me a little while to get used. I think it’s just a little small but the placement of the keys are, nevertheless, well laid out. In addition to the 32GB of built-in memory, theN900 also supports external memory via MicroSD cards(hot swap under the rear panel) up to 16GB.

While the N900 may be a large (ish) device it’s quite well balanced, the only problem is, this is not easy using with one hand.

Features and Performance
Interface

I am officially a Maemo 5 Fan but I do believe there is still room for improvement. Keeping with today’s multiple-desktop trends, theN900 also offers widget, shortcut and bookmark support for these desktops enabling quick and easy access to all your favorite features and functions. While the multitasking menu set up makes it very easy to switch between running tasks, I noticed that quite a few simple applications and functions somehow took quite a long time to load even if nothing was running in the background. Running more than 4 apps at a time made things even worse. It seemed like the devices ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz processor had quite a bit of trouble multitasking. The weird part is there was no lag at all while actually using any of these apps, even if multiple were running, it just took the processor an effort to get it’s foot in the door, so to speak.

For existing Nokia users, switching over to the new OS will be a cinch as they’ve tried to retain as much of the Symbian UI as possible with familiar icons so the transition isn’t going to be an issue. Good thinking. The best part is you can use any and every part of the UI, irrespective of how tiny some options are, without the use of the pesky stylus. After you’ve calibrated the screen you’re good to go. The layout of the menus and over all set up of the new OS is well planned but the icons and fonts could have been just a little larger. There didn’t seem to be any option to enlarge them either.

The onscreen QWERTY keypad is very large and makes for easy typing. Too bad it doesn’t switch to portrait view because using this handset in landscape is not a good idea while commuting. Another rather serious problem I faced with this piece is when calls came in. The device didn’t really let me answer a call in landscape and the switch to portrait was anything but smooth. Most of the time it would hang and display a blank screen with the ringtone still ringing out loud. Since there are no physical keys I was unable to answer those calls.

Media

As media a device I have mixed feelings about the N900. The music player, although capable of clear tones, dishes them out a very low decibel level. Even with Nokia’s new canal type in-ear earphones, the volume (at peak) was too low to really enjoy my music in this noisy city. The speaker phone was however loud enough to place on your desk and have a handsfree conversation without an issue. The lack of any EQ settings is sincerely missed. TheN900 doesn’t have a preloaded FM radio although it has built in antenna. What you’ll have to do is head on over to the App Manager and you can download an FM radio app as well as tons of other useful stuff from there. Unfortunately the radio didn’t really work out too well in my case. All I got was a lot of static most of the time even in locations where I usually get good reception on other devices. Internet Radio worked great though.

I tried using my iPhone earphones with the N900 and all I seemed to hear was static. So I tried it with another pair of standard earphones and had the same issue. It seemed like theN900 was poised to accept only the bundled handsfree as that seemed to work without a hitch.

At last, Nokia has decided that at least one of their devices will support drag and drop video playback. I was ecstatic. The native player supports codecs for almost all kinds of video files including AVI and FLV. Now if only Nokia could incorporate support for DivX and XviD codecs in other handsets they would reign supreme with no peers. It also has TV out support for which cables are provided. 

Paddy's Pod - 5 iPhone Apps Every Girl Wishes Existed

These days there is an iPhone app for nearly everything but here are a few apps seriously needed for better quality of life. Unfortunately, some are too far from existence for my liking. These are mostly from a girl's point of view but guys would highly benefit from them too.

1. The Track-Your-Friends-As-They-Keep-You-Waiting App: As Indians, we like to massage the truth a bit. For instance, if we're 10 minutes away from being somewhere, we'll tell the person we're meeting, we're 3 minutes away. Now I for one feel personally violated when my time is wasted so if someone made an app where you can track your friends on a map and know where they've reached, so you're not wasting your time, I'd reward them generously. Of course there are invasion of privacy issues here so this would have to be a Facebook type, approve your friends thing, like a 'Map Mates'. Or something else less cheesy.

2. The Zap-The-Letch-In-The-Eyeballs App: Everyone knows, as you're walking down the street, there is an ample number of men with acute scopophilia (if you don't know what it means, look here). Of course, to distract myself from the anger felt towards these roadside romeos, I fiddle with my phone as I walk. This experience would be significantly better if I had an app which after putting an o'clock-position for the happy voyeur, gives him a solid zap in the eyes. Would be nice. And funny. Just saying.

3. The Find-Your-Keys-In-Your-Purse App: Girls carry big purses. This is a given even from the cave days. What else were women going to do with the left over skin from carcasses? Keys however, the most important element to daily existent are ironically small and insignificant in comparison. There needs to be an app which, as one scans their phone (presumably in hand or placed in back pocket, or at least, easier to find in purse) around the bag, there is a beeping sound that gets more persistent as the phone nears the keys. Kind of like a metal detector but tremendously helpful.

4. The What's-That-Movie App: Applications like this one exist for music like Shazam and Midomi. However, how many times has a movie been playing in a coffee shop and it looks interesting but you don't know or you've forgotten what it is. Now this app would have to work without sound coming from the movie so it would have to be on an actor and location recognition system. Would be a must for every movie-buff, someone just has to make it first...

5. The Put-Foot-In-Mouth App: Everyone says stupid stuff. Everyone. Now what would really help here is a Freeze Time app but since time manipulation hasn't been invented yet (come on Cupertino!), the next best option is a put foot in mouth app before you say something stupid. Now this would require some mind reading on your phone's part, also difficult to invent, but I think the human race would be a happier race from this one handy phone feature.

Samsung Launches Next Generation Camera 'NX10' in India

Samsung today announced the launch of NX10 – its first foray into the mirror-less interchangeable lens camera segment. The Samsung NX10 has the heart of a DSLR embedded inside the compact frame of a digital camera, successfully integrating the APS-C size CMOS sensor with a mirrorless interchangeable lens, in a small, light and ergonomically designed body that ensure maximum portability for users. With the launch of its flagship, next generation NX10 camera model, Samsung is looking to establish itself as an innovator in Digital Still Camera market.

The NX10 incorporates a fast and decisive auto focus (AF), 14.6 MP APS-C size CMOS sensor and unique, large 3.0” AMOLED screen, allowing users to easily view their images, even in bright sunlight. The NX10 ensures users never miss a moment, as the new DRIMe II Pro engine and advanced AF algorithm, provide ultra fast AF speed with the higher precision of contrast AF. And consumers are not just limited to taking shots but can also tell their own stories in video format with HD movie recording (H.264 codec).

The 3.0” AMOLED screen facilitates by providing easier viewing in bright sunshine or at acute viewing angles, meaning users no longer need to shield their screen with their hand. The AMOLED screen also provides 30,000 times faster response rate than conventional LCDs, has lower power consumption and a higher contrast ratio – 100,000:1 vs. 500:1.

The NX10 also contains a range of intelligent features to put professional quality images within reach of the amateur photographer. The NX10 incorporates in-depth manual controls and a Smart Auto function which automatically detects the surrounding environment of the shot, selecting the right shoot mode and a Smart Range feature that enables the user to vividly express both bright areas and dark areas in the same frame. It even senses when the user brings the camera close to their face to look through the viewfinder, and puts the AMOLED screen on standby to conserve power. The NX10’s Supersonic Dust Reduction system keeps those dust particles clear of the image sensor that can often impair an image. 

Slim and light at just over 350g, the NX10 is available in black with two variants.1st with an 18-55mm lens kit (Rs 42,990) & 2nd with 30mm Pan Cake lens (Rs. 44,990). With the addition of this new model, Samsung’s Digital Still Cameras range now comprises a total of 31 models priced between Rs. 6,990 to Rs. 44,990. 

Create Twitter Screenshots from the Address Bar

Twitter Screenshots

If you want to quickly create a well-formatted screenshot image of any message on Twitter , here’s a nice and easy trick courtesy Haochi Chen:

http://twitter.comchen.vc/SrBachchan/status/15992240583

To turn a tweet into an image, all you have to do is open that tweet in your browser, replace twitter.com in the address bar with chen.vc and hit enter.

You should now see a JPG image of the tweet that you can embed in web pages or send as an email attachment.

Here’s a quick video demonstrating the trick:

Access your Photos & Music from Anywhere with Libox!

It’s a common requirement. You store all your photos, music and videos on your home computer that you would like to access from other computers or even from your cell phone and other mobile devices that you carry while on the move.
It takes times (not to mention the cost if you are on a metered connection) to upload all these media files to the Internet so if you are looking for something dead-simple that would let you stream media directly from your home computer without having to upload it anywhere, check out Libox.
To get started, all you have to do is install the Libox client on your home computer (it supports both PCs and Macs) and you can then access the media files on that computer from any other computer or mobile phone.

There are several other services (see option #3) that offer similar functionality but what makes Libox a little different is that it is designed to handle HD audio and video formats and also allows offline access to your media files on other computers.
You need to install the Libox client on all your computers and the service will automatically sync media across all the various machines (through peer to peer) so you always have access to the files even if the source (home computer) is turned off or if your current computer is not connected to the web.
Libox is completely free and there are no limitations so you can share virtually any number of files and folders with the service. You can currently access your media files on mobile phones through the device browser but they are also coming up with apps for Apple and Android devices later this year so that should make it even more useful.

Find the Person Behind an Email Address

You get an email from a person with whom you have never interacted before and therefore, before you reply to that message, you would like to know something more about him or her. How do you do this without directly asking the other person?

Web search engines are obviously the most popular place for performing reverse email lookups but if the person you’re trying to research doesn’t have a website or has never interacted with his email address on public forums before, Google will probably be of little help.

No worries, here are few tips and online services that may still help you uncover the identity of that unknown email sender.

#1. Find the sender’s location

Open the header of the email message and look for lines that say “Received: from” followed by an IP address in square brackets. If there are multiple entries, use the IP address mentioned in the last entry.

Now paste the IP address in this trace route tool and you should get a fairly good idea about the location of the email sender.

#2. Reverse email search with Facebook

Facebook has 450 million users worldwide and there’s a high probability that the sender may also have a profile on Facebook.

Unlike LinkedIn and most other social networks, Facebook lets you search users by email address so that should make your job simpler. Just paste the email address of the sender into the Facebook search box and you’ll immediately know if a matching profile exists in the network.

If you are able to locate that person on Facebook, download his profile picture and then upload it to TinEye – it’s a reverse image search engine so you can locate his other social profiles where he may have used the same picture.

#3. Check all the other Social Networks

You can use a service like Knowem to quickly determine if a profile with a particular username exists in any of the social networks.

If the email address of the send is something like green_peas@hotmail.com, there’s a probably that he or she may have created accounts of some other social network using the same alias “green_peas” – put that in knowem.com to confirm.

#4. People Search

Finally, if nothing works, you should try a people search service like Pipl and Spokeo – both services let you perform reverse email lookups but Spokeo has a more comprehensive database than Pipl.

Other than regular web documents, Spoke also scans social networks and even the whois information of domain names to find any bit of information associated with an email address. However, some of the results returned by Spokeo are only available to subscribers.

Bowers & Wilkins Launches MM-1 PC Speakers

Loudspeaker company Bowers & Wilkins has announced its latest set of computer speakers, the MM-1, that consists of one 3-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter, and a dedicated 18Watts amplifier. The tweeters feature B&W's Nautilus tube-loaded design claimed to dampen resonance and improve high-frequency sounds.

The speakers also integrate Digital Signal Processing (DSP) components to automatically adjust sound balance depending on the signal. Plus, the speakers can handle the DAC themselves when attached via USB. The MM-1 also integrates a specially designed headphone amp for headphone connections, plus there is an aux-in jack. The company lists a frequency response of -6dB at 57Hz and 22kHz. The MM-1 is geared for near-field listening from just a few feet away.

The MM-1 is expected to ship in February, no word on pricing yet.

Nvidia Takes 3D Vision Technology to Notebooks

Introduced earlier this year for desktop PCs, Nvidia 3D Vision technology has become quite a popular 3D solution for playing computer games, watching movies, or viewing photographs in full resolution stereoscopic 3D. Nvidia today, along with some of the world’s leading PC, notebook panel manufacturers and content developers, has announced the expansion of theNvidia 3D Vision ecosystem to include high-definition notebook platforms that integrate advanced 120Hz 3D Vision-capable displays directly into the chassis for on-the-go 3D.

“We are extremely excited about bringing the first Nvidia 3D Vision notebook to market,” said PC Wang, Corporate Vice President & General Manager, Notebook Business Unit, System Business Group at ASUS. “Nvidia and ASUS have a passion for gaming and cutting-edge technology, and this is another example of how great companies working together can deliver awesome new platforms to our combined customers.”

Nvidia 3D Vision technology is a combination of high-tech wireless glasses, a wide-range IR emitter and software that can transforms most PC games into full stereoscopic 3D experiences. More than 400 PC games work out of the box with Nvidia 3D Vision, and recent games such as Resident Evil 5, Borderlands, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Star Trek D-A-C are providing gamers with truly immersive gaming experiences, complete with additional 3D cut scenes and out-of-screen visual effects.

Nvidia has worked closely with display manufacturers, including CPT, LG, CMO, and Samsung, to bring state-of-the-art 120Hz 3D Vision-capable panels to notebook platforms. These new displays provide stellar 2D capability with crystal clear images, but also deliver flicker-free 3D, with support for high definition playback of 3D games, movies, and photographs.

“Nvidia 3D Vision is by far the most immersive, highest quality, full-resolution stereoscopic 3D technology available today." said Ryan Chung, Chief Director of Notebook Business Unit of CPT. “This is an exciting time for users, who will finally be able to see their games, movies and pictures with true 3D depth.”

LG and Samsung have also expressed their support of this technology and are designing the appropriate devices to support it. With notebook displays available, PC manufacturers are eager to bring 3D Vision notebooks to market. Notebooks will include the 120Hz 3D Vision-capable panel and bundle 3D Vision active-shutter glasses. ASUS is readying the first everNvidia 3D Vision notebook—the ASUS G51J 3D—for worldwide release in early December, followed by other OEMs in 2010, including Clevo and others.

Nokia Planning to go With Maemo in new N-series Devices

The latest word from Nokia is that it’s quite possible their N-Series handsets would be deviating from their usual Series 60 OS and instead incorporating Maemo. According to reports, the marketing team for Maemo mentioned that Nokia plans to adopt this new operating system for their N-series mobile range of multimedia handsets. They seemed quite sure that this is the new way to go after the N900 has made its appearance.

Having had a chance to see what it’s really like with the N900 at Nokia’s N-Tour-Age event here in Mumbai, I have to admit that it does make a certain amount of sense. However, would the regular S60 users be so quick to adopt the new OS without question? That’s a big question mark. It looks pretty good and quite user friendly on a large touchscreen enabled device and I’m quite curious to see how functional it’ll be on a smaller device without a touchscreen.

Log into our forums thread here and let us know what you think of Nokia’s decision to switch from S60 to the Maemo OS in their N-series devices.

Edit Your Videos Online

It is said, the movie is made on the editing table. So how true is that? To start off with, a movie is a combination of talents like cinematography, acting, direction. But all of it comes together as a film on the editing table. So yes, it is true and editors are responsible for making or breaking the film. A fast paced action movie has to have some sharp editing. If the editing was weak in a movie like Bourne Ultimatum, we would wonder, “why are we watching Good Will Hunting again?” Though Good Will hunting was a well edited movie for its genre, Bourne Ultimatum was action packed and fast moving with gritty scenes, which required some experienced and talented hands on the editing board. Hence, editing highlights the movie and makes it watchable and gives it the required feel.

But this is professional editing. Today, with great break throughs in cameras and computers, consumers can shell out some money and purchase a user friendly editing tool for themselves. It’s a hobby for most, to shoot videos of a wedding, birthday party or an outing with friends, come home and give it a lasting look and feel. With the use of certain editing tools, these aspiring editors give transition effects, lighting effects and various other cuts and crops to give the video, a better look. Video editing is not a walk in the park as it may seem. Depending on the tools used, editing gets easier.

So what does a person do when he doesn’t have or doesn’t want to spend money to purchase an editing tool for his personal computer? Windows already has an integratedvideo editing tool called the ‘Windows Movie Maker’. But at times it leaves you asking for more. So ‘Hallelujah’ to the web-based video editing sites.

Jay Cut

A beta application, Jay Cut has a nice User Interface. For starters, you can view all the mixes done by other users here. Now like I said,video editing is not so easy, even to understand the video editing tools usually takes time. But these site-based tools make the work easier. Jay Cut has an introductory video which quickly explains the tools to you. Within three minutes you can get the hang of this editing tool and start to edit your videos.

Whats good: The UI looks like a professional editing tool as a mixer (filmstrip) has predefined layers for Video A, Transition, Video B, Music and effects. Good transition effects.

Whats bad: Only a handful of effects and no option to crop/cut videos.

Motion box

Ever come a time where you shoot a single video from your phone or digital camera and just want to keep a part of it (for remembrance)or remove a part (maybe cause some lunatic came up and threw gang signs at you while shooting). Motion box is a simple tool. It has a very user friendly interface to trim videos, where any amateur can go ahead and edit the video in no time.

Whats good: The ease at which the video can be trimmed, very much like a professional editing tool.

Whats bad: Motion box is ONLY meant to trim videos. It has no transition and effects (though there is an option to rotate but we’re sure not all users will make use of that option).

Onetruemedia

Onetruemedia is truly a one stop site for editing videos. Targeted for casual users, Oneturemedia has options to edit and change the sequence of a particular video, apply a montage style and add text and music. The apply montage is an amazing option which gives you some amazing preset effects. From presets such as fright night, to sportscast, users can let their creativity go wild and create unique 3 minute videos. The montage styles were so amazing, they had us shoot some small videos with our phone and try out the various styles.

Whats good: Amazing video montage styles, option to create a text slide and apply music.

Whats bad: The edit and sequence option is not that great.

Rifftrax (cuts)

Somehow, this was the most fulfilling site we found for video editing. Well, it’s not a site actually meant for video editing, but we had to include it. The site has various preloaded videos of movies, which can be used to test what this site is all about. Cuts basically has various sound effects which you can add to the video and change the entire feel of it. Funfilled and innovative, Cuts had to make it to this list.

Whats good: Mind blowing fun, to add famous movie quotes and sound effects and change the feel of the overall video.

Whats bad: Uploading a video is a pain.

Upcoming DirectX 11 Games To Look Forward To

Now that Windows 7 has officially been launched, Direct X 11 games aren’t far behind. In fact there are already a few DX 11 compliant games available in the market today and the coming months will see many more. Today we’ll check out some of the more interesting upcoming DX11 games :

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was all about immersion and whether you were roaming the Zone searching for loot in broad daylight or exploring some creepy old military base at night not knowing what lurked around the next corner, the feeling of dread was palpable. And now with the power of DX11 backing them developer GSC Gameworld can dial up the intensity to 11 to deliver an even more immersive experience for the sequel. The game’s already been released in Russia with the English version slated for a worldwide release this month.

Crysis 2

Not much is known about Crysis 2 at this point but if you’ve seen what the CryEngine 3 is capable of in some of the Tech demos floating around the net you know you’re in for one insanely good looking game. Since Crysis pushed the boundaries of PC gaming back in the day, I can only imagine the kind of hardware required to play this game in all its graphical glory.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

The boys from B Company are back and this time they’re really gonna tear things down as DICE has promised even more destruction courtesy of a heavily modified Frostbite engine. While details regarding the single player are still scarce I am mighty impressed with the way the game’s online component’s turning out. PS3 owners will get a chance to sample the action via a beta that’ll be available by the end of this month while PC gamers sadly have to wait till December for a piece of the pie.

Lost Planet 2

Now this is pure speculation on my part since the game’s not even been “officially” announced for the PC but since Lost Planet came out for the PC a few months later, I’m guessing Capcom will dish out similar treatment to Lost Planet 2. And since Lost Planet was launched as a DX10 title, I think it’s fair to assume that Lost Planet 2 will ship with DX11 compatibility.

Alan Wake

Yes I know the PC version of the game is nowhere on the horizon but developer Remedy has always been faithful to PC gamers and I know (and seriously hope) that sometime in the future they will release this game on the PC. And when they do, you know it’s going to be DX11 all the way.

Aliens vs. Predator

When two iconic characters cross each other’s paths you know it’s gonna hit the fan. Throw in highly armed testosterone charged marines and you’re looking at some awesome three way action. The game’s being developed by Rebellion games, creators of the very first AVP game and will allow players to play as all three races through the course of the single and multiplayer campaign.

DIRT2

Dirt 2 released for the Xbox360 and the PS3 in September but the PC version was pushed back to December so that the game could take advantage of DX11 allowing Codemasters to present us with ‘the best-looking racing game that has ever existed’.

Intel Sees Opportunities in Wind, Electric Cars

Technology giant Intel Corp is seeing big opportunities in wind forecasting for power generation, and in information management for electric vehicles, John Skinner, Intel's director of marketing for its Eco-Technology division said on Tuesday.

Intel already sells microprocessors to wind turbine manufacturers and this would be an expansion of that business. Adoption of wide-scale wind power would rely on accurate forecasting, such as when the wind would blow and how fast, he said. "There's a lot of opportunities for sensor technology and high performance computing," he said in an interview on the sidelines of an industry conference. "We are starting to explore it." Intel has said it wants to grow its processor and software presence outside the traditional markets and has invested in a number of green technology companies through its venture capital arm Intel Capital. Wind and solar power have gained in popularity but mass adoption has been hindered by the fact that neither power works around the clock. Solar panels don't work at night and wind turbines only spin when the wind blows. "We see numerical forecasting (in wind) as very interesting opportunity," he said, adding that "every extra bit of granularity and predictability" onwind power is very valuable. Another sector that Intel is eyeing is electric vehicles. Skinner said that transportation industry is "very ripe" for the application of microprocessors.

"Electric vehicles are going to contain a lot of electronics," he said, adding that Intel could see itself being involved certain aspects of the electric car such as energy management and range prediction. "It would be an extension of our business in telematics," he said.

BSNL netPC now in A.P

Nova netPC is home delivered at Rs.2,999...

Novatium Solutions, a Chennai-based provider of computing services on Saturday launched Nova netPC, a computing gadget to be used with a Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) broadband connection. The Nova netPC is home delivered at Rs.2,999, including the central processing unit (CPU) that does not look larger in size than a thin client, a keyboard, mouse and modem. It can be made used with a liquid crystal display screen too. The idea was to make it user-friendly and increase computing penetration in the rural areas. The Nova netPC, was maintenance-free, virum and spam proof, less expensive and used 40 per cent less power. Booking is through BSNL customer care centres and Nova Navigator delivered, installed and subscribers familiarised by Novatium technical support personnel. Monthly subscription including BSNL Broadband charges start at Rs. 274. However, if the subscriber already had an unlimited BSNL broadband package, it would only mean Rs. 175, he said.
