Video chat on Android.. Google is The Best

Yayyy
Finally the day has arrived when Gtalk integrates video chat into its Android app. It works with wi-fi as well as cellular networks, hence useful for not only other tablet and smartphone users but also just about perfect for a Samsung Galaxy Tab user like me. This update is said to be released with Android 2.3.4 with support for earlier versions following soon.
Its everything that all of us have been used to in Gtalk
- in conversation texts
- uninterrupted call
- integrates with Gmail :) :)


Can't wait to get this app, been hunting down the Android marketplace for too long now for a decent video chat app for tablet to laptop/PCs.

Movie Watch: Insidious(2010)

This movie delivered what it promised, A Truly Spine-Chilling experience.
With scenes that can terrify the hell out of people even with the average performances by the actors, this movie has Amazing cinematography which has tremendously supported the brilliant plot.
The edge of this Horror flick however has to be credited to the concept of "Astral Projection" which is really a food for thought and imagination. Wonder though if "The Further" is what theists call "Hell"?

Anyway, the idea behind the movie is unconventional and unpredictable.
Definitely a one-time watch.

Movie Watch: Shor In The City(2011)

Thankfully, this movie comes as a welcome break from the typical Hindi commercial movies, it is almost bordering on an Artistic collage in cinema.
For an anthology of real events, the characters and events have a strangely uncommon sense to them that keeps the viewers guessing. But all throughout the storyline, the movie retains the groundedness of true Indian characters and an Indian environment that is soon becoming mainstream.

Storyline: Great interplay of the characters. Unpredictable.
Performance: Good, the casting is perfect without any overpowering performance by any single person.
Humour: Refreshing
Pace of movie: A little slow, the pace picks up only after intermission
Climax: A little whimsical but optimistic, viewers walk away with a feeling of hope in the end, which is good.



Its a sure Watch just for its fresh unconventional portayal of the Indian Life if nothing else.
