Will Brand Apple pull huge premium for the new iPhones?
Apple Inc's much-awaited iPhone 6 may not have an immediate or major impact on company's market share in India, experts said.Premium pricing and not-so-relevant applications may find limited takers for the iPhone 6 in the country, they said. According to company's India website, Apple's new large-screen phones – iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus – will be available in India from October 17 and the new smartwatches only next year.
"Price-point is something that is killing the brand right now. They need to understand that they cannot offer same set of features at such premium price point. It will be difficult for them to justify the price. The latest example is the tremendous response to Xiaomi, which shows that buyers today are not really brand specific but more driven by price and features that a product offers," said Binoy CS, director telecom practice, Frost & Sullivan.

Apple, known for its innovations, has joined the competition for bigger screen phones late.
The two new phones are Apple's entry into the larger than 4 inches, aimed at challenging competitors like Samsung.
The company is yet to unveil the Indian prices for the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. If market buzz is to be believed, the new iPhones will come with premium pricing in India, making them one of the most expensive models by the company.
"Indian market, which is more Android dominated, is unlikely to find major excitement among the buyers, other than the Apple loyalists. Till now Apple has lived by its own rules but now competition seems to be clouding its decision making. The package is certainly not good enough to make an Android user want to make the switch to the iOS bandwagon," said an expert.
Experts said the features and applications Apple unveiled are little futuristic for the Indian market and will take time for find takers here. Things like mobile payment, health applications are little advance for Indian consumers, said experts.

Brand ambassadors galore
Zydus Wellness Ltd will unveil the Everyuth naturals Advanced Tulsi turmeric, which will be a Re 1 sachet and to be launched by Bollywood actor – Nargis Fakhri. The company will also launch 'Donate your calories to help nourish children' campaign for its brand Sugar Free. The event will see participation of Akshay Kumar – Bollywood superstar and chef sanjeev kapoor. The campaign talks about saving the unwanted calories and adopt a fitter lifestyle.

Journal Addresses Uproar Over Facebook Emotion Study
A scientific journal that recently published a controversial study about how emotions can spread across social networks issued a note today (July 3) to address the uproar caused by the contentious research.
The study, published June 17 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(PNAS), was conducted by Facebook researchers to investigate a phenomenon dubbed "emotional contagion." For the study, the researchers altered the types of posts that could be seen in the news feeds of more than 680,000 Facebook users — making fewer positive posts visible for some individuals, and limiting the number of negative posts that could be seen by others.
The researchers found that emotional states can spread across social networks, but when the findings were published, the research sparked furor among individuals who felt the study violated personal privacy.

APPS REVIEW
Wow! Mumbai gets swanky Terminal 2 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh inaugurates Terminal 2 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport; world-class facility built at a cost of Rs 5,500 crore will start operation only in February. The state-of-the-art Terminal 2 or T2 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) was officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday. Built at cost of over Rs5,500 crore, the terminal will be thrown open to public within four weeks. Earlier, the operation was to start from this month itself. “Mumbai deserves a world-class facility like the T2,” Singh said, adding that “opening of T2 will inspire other infrastructure projects to achieve similar feat.” Maharashtra governor K Shankarnarayan, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, civil aviation minister Ajit Singh and Union agricultural minister Sharad Pawar were also present at the event along with other central ministers and bureaucrats. According to aviation experts, development of the airport seems significant for the city as unlike other important airports, CSIA is located in a confined area with no space to expand. Only 1,400 acres are available. “On the contrary, Hyderabad and Bengaluru airports have over 5,500 acres of land available and the development had to be carried out without disrupting the on-going flight operations,” Chavan said. Airport insiders claim that CSIA’s area per passenger is one of the smallest in the world, yet it manages about 19 per cent of the country’s air passenger traffic and about 29 per cent of the nation’s cargo traffic. In 2012-13, the airport handled 30.21 million passengers and 0.6 million tonnes of cargo. According to forecast by aviation experts, the passenger traffic in Mumbai is expected to reach 80 million per annum by 2026. Likewise, the air cargo is expected to reach 2 million tonnes. With the opening of T2, the passenger capacity of CSIA will shoot up more than 40 million passengers annually. Under the privatisation policy of the central government, CSIA was given to private parties for modernisation in 2006. GVK-led consortium bagged the contract for Mumbai airport. The spanking four-storey glass marvel, whose design has been inspired by a dancing peacock, has some of the most advanced state-of-the-art passenger convenience system. It has 208 check-in-counters, 43 security pedestals, 161 elevators, one day hotel and one transit hotel, automated baggage system capable of handling 9,600 bags per hour, and a dedicated 6-lane elevated expressway. The terminal also has country’s largest multi-level car parking area as well as world’s longest cable stayed glass wall (15 metres).

TAKE NOTES ON THE GO

All you need is to drag the version slider to go back in time. All your notes can be searched and they can be organized with tags and pins.

EMAIL UPGRADED
Though there are a number of apps to organize our daily routine, email continues to occupy the central place. Tipbit on iOS, claims to be an upgrade of your inbox, and brings your calendar and social media into the email in an easy-to-use manner. You can see a contact’s LinkedIn and Facebook updates as well as their latest tweets, and share them with a single tap.

Conference on Cyber Security
Confederation of Indian Industry Southern Region is organising a follow up conference with the title ACT- “Achieve CyberSecurity Together”. The one day conference will be held on 13th July 2013 at Hotel Hilton, Chennai, TamilNadu.

The objective of the “Achieve Cybersecurity Together (ACT)” – with a theme “Face Cyber Threats & Challenges” is to discuss greatest emerging cyber treats across the nation. The challenges, technological gaps and necessary research directions related to cybersecurity, as well as the best suited instruments to implement the tasks.

Cyber-security has been defined by the International Communications Union (ITU) to mean the collection of tools, policies, security concepts, security safeguards, guidelines, risk management approaches, actions, training, best practices, assurance and technologies that can be used to protect the cyber environment and organization and user‘s assets. It can be considered to involve several major threats including: espionage, cyber-crime, cyber-war, cyber-terrorism, and dis-information campaigns.
