HTC One is an odd name for a phone. Not that it sounds odd, but having released few phones like One X, One S, One V and many more in the One series, HTC decided to name their 2013 flagship as just HTC One. But that shows how much the company believes in this phone. HTC believes that this phone guides them to their ever-evading success. HTC has always had a good phone as its flagship: HTC One X was better than competitors like Samsung Galaxy S3 in many ways, but still failed to make a mark....

The HTC Vive Pro is one of the costliest VR headsets available in the market. The $799 (Rs 52,000) premium headset will be shipping globally soon after the pre-order periods end on April 5. The skywards price tag of the new Vive Pro clearly indicates HTC’s plan towards capturing the emerging VR market.

Now the news in the market is that Tata Sons is once again trying to get rid of Tata Tele by merging it with Airtel.

But accompanying all this is a very hefty price tag. At $449/Rs 44,900, the 2022 iPad (10th generation) comes with the biggest starting price tag of any basic, suffix-less iPad. That is significantly more than the $299/Rs 30,900 at which its predecessor was launched and remains so, even after its recent price bump up to $329/Rs 33,900. Interestingly, unlike in the past, Apple has not discontinued the previous iPad. As a result, anyone in the market for a “basic” iPad now has two iPads to choose from, the spanking new iPad (10th generation) and its predecessor, the iPad (9th generation)....

There will be some who will grumble about the games being a bit on the old side. Fair enough, Lara Croft Go was released in 2015 and Monument Valley 2 arrived two years later.

Best of all, they are both single-player games so you do not need anyone else to play them....

India has always been on the forefront when it comes to mobile first e-commerce customers and at the hindsight the move seems obvious.
