SMSlife.in is a cool new startup allowing you to “send free SMS – Voice - Xpressions and more”. It offers alerts and reminder services for mobiles through SMS and voice call. Thus it can be used as an alarm or a simple reminder service to get things done.
Using the alert feature you can save the Birthday and Anniversary alerts so that you don’t miss them again. The wishes will be sent to your friends and dear ones automatically, impressive – isn’t it ?
Using reminder service you can time a call which will remind you to go to the meeting or attend the function. In addition to these they also have an option of Xpressions. It is like Twitter for Indians :D, allowing you to write small messages of 160 characters.
Apart from these feature, it also allows you to send free SMS in India of 90 characters (followed by a small ad).
In there own words:
Why SMS life ?
Your battery may run down, your validity may have expired, you may not have charge.
But these things cannot keep you away from sending messages, now short messages are just a click away.
What more ?
You create your own phone book, your own favorite friends list etc;
Now you can access your virtual mobile anywhere, any time.
Overall SMSLife is a good and innovative idea. However adding a support of uploading the address book or synchronizing the features with Outlook calendar are some of the areas that can be considered to expand upon. Also the reminders sent are from the number of smslife.in, it would have been better if it was sent from the phone number of the user.

ApnaBill.com is a cool new startup allowing you to recharge your mobiles online. It supports most of the networks for the prepaid recharge coupons.
What I like about it is no sign-up is compulsary for the recharge, allowing you to reacharge quickly and easily.
No one no longer needs to go to a nearby pan shop to get the recharge coupons.

Nokia Conversations: Creating the ultimate human snake (video)
LISBON, Portugal - Some people get all the plumb jobs. Managing 1,000 people early morning in a Lisbon Square, the team behind a new N-Gage promo video had their work cut out. The video brings to life the most popular mobile game ever, snake. The 1,000 people who form the game are painstakingly photographed frame by frame before the images are stitched together to create a stop-start animation.
The results are pretty amazing. And whilst the video is impressive in itself, when you look behind the scenes to see how it’s done it becomes even more so. We have to say the team behind it have done an incredible job. Check it out below, then have a look at the behind the scenes video to see how it was done.
