As speculated earlier amazon.com after entering the e-reader market with the Kindle E-reader has now jumped into the tablet market by introducing Kindle Fire !

Amazon introduced the Kindle Fire today, a 7-inch Android tablet for $199— a good three hundred dollars cheaper than the iPad. Amazon also will be offering regular and touch Kindles at seriously attractive prices, starting at $79. Further sweetening the pot, free 3G will be offered in the Kindle touch 3G.

Amazon’s making it almost impossible not to own a Kindle in one form or another. If you just want an ereader, the $79 Kindle is 30% lighter (5.98 ounces) than previous Kindles. A $99 version will add touch navigation. And the top-of-the-line Kindle touch 3G is $149, with the free 3G access. All three models still sport the e-ink technology.

The Kindle Fire Tablet is the big announcement, today, however. This souped-up Kindle is also an Android tablet with dual-core processor, a multi-touch IPS display, and light 14.6 ounce weight. To get to the inexpensive $199 price point, Amazon left out a camera and microphone, and it will only be available with Wi-Fi, not 3G. Some neat details:

  • The Whispersync technology that brings ebooks quickly to Kindles will work to sync movies and TV shows from Amazon’s growing library to the Fire.
  • A new Silk browser, which partially resides on Amazon’s cloud servers, pre-loads pages to speed up browsing.
  • Starts shipping November 15; It would take some time to launch in Pakistani market !

What do you think? Will you be buying a Kindle?

 

Online Shopping is still in introductory phase in Pakistan and currently a very small number of the total internet Users Shop Online . Although the trend is changing but the major obstacles in the path are as follows:

  • Lack Payment solutions e.g Paypal
  • Limited number of trusted online retailers
  • Knowledge about Online Shopping
  • etc etc
In this post I would like to explore this topic further focusing on payment solutions. First of all the most used payment method i.e Credit Card.

Credit CARD

Credit Card adds a lot of convenience to online shopping .You just select the product you want from a retailer and give your Credit Card Number and other similar details and you are done.

Although Credit cards make it lot easier but previously not everyone had access to credit cards but this has changed now. I would like to mention the example of UBL Wiz Prepaid Card and especially UBL WIZ Internet card , a new prepaid credit card introduced by ubl which can be obtained by anyone having CNIC card.

Also one of the other benift is that there are no activation charges for use online unlike other credit cards. As it is a prepaid card you can load your card just like you would would your mobile sim and you are done.You can get the UBL wiz card from selected ubl branches for Rs.100 + tax

Some Details about the UBL Wiz internet card!

Market Total Balance Allowed-Max Deposit (Rs.) ATM Withdrawal
Limit per Day (Rs.)
POS Usage Limit per Day (Rs.) Internet Usage Limit per Day (Rs.)
Internet/Travel 200,000 40,000 100,000 100,000

Sending Spam emails is common but one can least expect spam emails from Electric Supply Corporations. But thats the case , the KESC or Karachi Electric Supply Corporation is sending out spam emails to everyone whose email address they have got .

Whether the person who they are spamming is subscriber of KESC or not and did they subscribe for emails from KESC !

Here is the email

Dear Customers,

As you are all aware of the grave situation KESC has been facing for the past over 2 months. Hostile attacks on people and property and threats by union miscreants have crippled company’s operations.

Despite all odds KESC’s management, officers and workers have been relentlessly working day in and day out for the relief and comfort for the people of Karachi. However, we have now reached a unfortunate point where continuing field operations and repair and maintenance work, in the absence of law enforcement and protection of our people and other assets is no longer possible.

KESC has gone beyond the call of duty in the most dangerous of situations, but some of the recent incidents, especially those on July 20, 2011 suggest that our lives are gravely endangered, especially where law enforcement seems to be siding with the offender.

We would like to share our recent communication with the higher ups in the government regarding the current situation. This will give you a clear idea of the gravity of matters. Following are some of the main points covered in the letter for your knowledge;

  • Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) stand as silent spectators as KESC’s people and assets continue to get attacked by union miscreants
  • Summary of the gross violations for the past 2+ months;
  • The fifth attempt to gain access to central store at SITE, which contains critical material (PMTs, Cables, and Joints etc), culminated in a 12 hour long hostage situation while law enforcement assumed the role of spectators.

In view of the above and other incidents KESC has decided to discontinue its field operations and expose its people to a bunch of hooligans who are free to break the law at any time. Hence starting from today KESC has suspended all its operations till there is adequate protection for us which is our fundamental right.

On top of all this our Head office was attacked and was brought under siege and our people were made hostage. The load operations center was also disconnected today.

Our hearts go out to all our consumers who have suffered at large alongside us. We once again regret inconvenience and hope that the necessary authorities will assist us and take appropriate measures in restoring business as usual.

Regards
KESC Management
