Comment Its android Longterm (Score 1) 403

I would say go with android, you have all the flexibility and freedom to do wat ever you want and seeing the number of android devices being released to market i would say now except nokia almost everybody has switched to android (off course there is apple), but if you compare apple vs (the rest - nokia) i would really go for android. Even i was in a similar situation , and android really rocks..!! And for the apple, well you can take it as a second option , but remember its all programming languages and api stuff if you learn one the rest are just find replace of specific api methods (tat's not as simple as it sounds, but still).

Considering india's market, there are more buyers for these kinds of cheap gadgets in the lower middle class / typical town peoples, if the price is set around 35$ its a good buy. Imagine, these tablets hitting rural areas, this will open a *LOT* of opportunity, for both IT companies, and for the people.

Raw Therapee 3 Is Now Free Software 162

kantier writes "The only (as far as I know) usable and free (as in beer) program for processing RAW photos outside Windows or OS X is now also free as in freedom. From version 3 onwards, the code is licensed under the GPL v3. The main developer's reasons for opening up the program are a lack of time/resources for full dedication, and a lack of interest in some parts of the program (likes to fiddle with image-processing algorithms, not so much the GUI part) — so the F/OSS model seems to be a perfect fit for this project."
