We first watched Slumdog Millionaire in December last year.

And liked it immensely. We predicted it would walk away with a big haul of awards and indeed it did.

We’d been waiting for the DVD to watch the movie again and the Slumdog DVD arrived three or four days ago.

Cheapos
But we were reluctant to fork out $17 for the DVD.

And since like all cheapo desis we find it hard to resist the lure of a freebie, we trooped over to a Redbox kiosk (free rental on Mon and Wed with a code) a short while ago and picked up the Slumdog Millionaire DVD.

We don’t know about you.

But over the last 12 months we’ve slowly got addicted to our Wi-Fi mobile phone (in our case, the Apple iPhone). No, we are not embarrassed to admit that it even accompanies us to the bathroom. ;)

We use our Wi-Fi mobile phone for reading news, responding to comments on the SI blog while lying in bed, watching Bollywood music videos on YouTube, watching Rajini songs, checking the weather, buying music from the iTunes digital media store et al.

So we were not surprised today to see a recent study by ABI Research finding that 77% of Wi-Fi-enabled mobile phone users are completely or very satisfied with their phone. Moreover, 74% of people with Wi-Fi on their mobile phone use it, and 77% say they will look for Wi-Fi in their next phone as well.

Rapid Growth Forecast
ABI forecasts the number of Wi-Fi enabled mobile phone shipments per year will reach 141 million in 2009, 300 million in 2011 and 520 million by 2014. Continue reading »
