dataone usage check

I’ve been one of the yearly few to switch to BSNL Dataone broadband services in my region. It was probably the first ever government run enterprise offering broadband services at cheaper prices. One of the early drawbacks of the state run BSNL Dataone broadband service was how to check usage? The initial plans were limited to 1/2GB and then eventually unlimited plans were launched and then night unlimited packages. Still every BSNL user has, at some point, faced the BSNL Dataone over billing issue. So it’s essential to check BSNL Dataone broadband usage from time to time to ensure a smooth functioning.

BSNL Dataone broadband portal for checking data usage has now been simplified and improved to a lot of extent. Earlier users were supposed to rely on third party software to calculate free and paid Dataone usage. Now the new portal is quite helpful as it eliminates the need for installing and using any extra software. It displays the usage in a neat tabular format clearly mentioning and separating night unlimited usage with the one under data cap. Quite helpful. One can simply log on to Dataone broadband’s page and click on account administration link. It redirects the users to a specific portal accessible only from a Dataone broadband account.

itablet ipad alternative

Still shy on buying Apple iPad due to non availability of USB ports, multitasking etc.? Well here’s a slick alternative to Apple’s iPad. X2 Computing, a UK based company, has launched it’s own tablet device called iTablet. To define the device I’d say imagine an iPad with USB ports, multitasking, a choice of OS and the icing on the cake is HDMI. Sorry, still not compatible with outer space. What else do you want from a tablet?

iTablet will start shipping as early as April 2010. It comes in 10.2 inch widescreen TFT display as well as a 12.1 inch widescreen XGA display. The company claims multi-touch would be optional. Now that’s a little weird. Along with it comes an array of standard features which are common with Apple’s iPad like slim design, on-screen keyboard, view in portrait or landscape mode.
