You might be wondering why i haven’t been posting some info on new Tech stuff.Reason was i had gone to attend the Mera Windows Windows 7 Community event in Bangalore.It was held on November 7th i.e yesterday near a place called Malleshwaram in Bangalore.I took a bus from Mangalore to Bangalore reached on 11th morning.The event was scheduled from 5-8 IST in the evening.I called up my forum friend and he was kind enough to pick me up and we both reached the place 15 mins prior to starting time.The decorations were still in the process so i asked Rahul Nathan one of the MVP out there doing his duties if he needed assistance with the decorations.I was happy that i could assist some one in need.So me and my friend Akshay were assisting him and finally we were done with all the decorations.I also welcomed the invitees who had registered and also made a note of new guests and took them to their seats and made sure that every one was comfortable.

There were other people there too and speakers like Mr. Pavanaja ,Venkat, Vijay,Kalyan etc.These gave a talk on some features of Windows 7.I was just  casually hearing what there were saying as i already knew about the topics  they were discussing.Some topics discussed were Bitlocker,Power efficiency,Aero Snap,Superbar,Virtual hard disks,Jump-lists,Remote Media streaming,Language packs, upgrade versions and bit more.After this, time was approaching 7 (we wanted to coincide Windows seven ceremony with 7 PM) and it was the time to cut the huge cake and launch the Windows 7 Community event Bangalore .Once the cake cutting was done there were some fun events and some small talk about Windows 7.As time was a constraint there, a short late tea break including chats and some cake were served to the guests.Once this was done a final vote of thanks was given by Rahul.I managed to get some pics of the event. from my cam.See below for pics.I loved being a part of the Bangalore event.Love to go in for many more of such events and share info.I reached Mangalore today evening and i was dead tired so just had a nap. Any body else attended there and didn’t notice me there pour in your name with comments.

Turtle looks like a chunky child’s version of a Palm Pre  with a ovalish look and egg shaped corners, while Pure seems like a standard slider, and both are clearly plastic, with an overall sense of roundedness, thanks to lots of soft angles and circular keys.The left image of Pure looks like as if N900 is slided  open.It’s been reported elsewhere that Pink phones will include Zune services, and have its own app store, making it as close to the Zune phone.This is what Gizmodo has for now, wait till they get some nice info so i can share it too.
