Research In Motion (RIM), makers of BlackBerry smartphones, on Friday launched a new operating system (OS) for its PlayBook tablets with additional functionalities, including the ability to run Android-based applications.

The BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 will add advanced messaging features, increased social integration and better browser, among other things, Research In Motion (RIM) Manager, Carrier Product (India), Ranjan Moses told reporters here.

The new OS also supports Android applications like Pool Break Pro.

This will enable developers create applications for Android and make the same applications available to PlayBook users as well.

The new OS is available as a free update for existing users and the new devices will have the new OS in-built.

BlackBerry Playbook is available at an offer price of Rs. 19,990 for the 64 GB model.

In December last year, the Canadian giant had slashed the price of its PlayBook by more than half to Rs. 13,490 for the 16 GB version to cash in on the festive season and burgeoning demand for tablet PCs in India.

RIM, which is known for its BlackBerry series of phones, had introduced PlayBook in June in the Indian market.

According to analysts, sales in the tablet PC segment in India are expected to touch one million units over the next 12 months.

With 3G (high-speed internet services) being rolled out aggressively, the opportunity has only expanded, they said.

Since the launch of Apple’s iPad in the country, the tablet market has been witnessing huge competition, with more and more new contenders launching their devices.

New Delhi, Feb24,2012 (TNN): A Nandan Nilekani-headed panel has recommended that all government payments over Rs 1,000 should be made or received electronically as this would help reduce graft and bring about greater transparency and accountability.

The final report of the task force on Aadhar-Enabled Unified Payment structure has also recommended that beneficiaries of all social safety net programmes such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and recipients of direct subsidy transfer payments (cooking gas, fertilisers, kerosene, etc) can benefit by receiving their payments electronically, directly into their accounts at either banks or post offices.
In order to reduce the use of cash in the economy, the task force has said that government and government owned institutions accept electronic payments at all locations where they collect payments from citizens, without any additional surcharge.

2. Gross Weight: Gross weight is the weight shown by a standard weighing scale. When the Article is appropriately placed on to or suspended from the said scale.
3. Volumetric Weight: volumetric weight of the article shall be arrived at from the volume of that article using the appropriate formulae.
4. Exception: Volumetric weight need not be determined in following cases.
(a) If the sum of the length, breadth and height is not more than 90 centimeters, and any of the dimensions is not more than 60 centimeters.
(b) In case of an article is in roll form (Cylindrical) if the length and diameter each are less than 90 centimeters.
These exceptions will also applicable to Speed Post article.
5. Procedure for calculation of volume: Measure each dimension in centimeters rounded off to next higher centimeter.
(a) (i) Cuboids (e.g. square or Rectangular): Its Dimensions means length, Breadth and height.
(ii) Cylindrical rolls: Dimensions means diameter of its circular base and length.
(b) Articles other than above shapes should not be accepted.
(c) Formula for calculation of volumetric weight.
(i) Cuboids (e.g. Square, Rectangular)
Volume = Length X Breadth X Height
(ii) Cylindrical Roll.
Volume = 0.785 X (Diameter of Circular base)2 X Length
The Volume so arrived at in cubic centimeters should be rounded off to the next higher whole number.
6. Formula to calculate volumetric weight: When the volume is calculated in cubic centimeters, the formula to determine the volumetric weight in kilograms shall be :
Volumetric Weight in Kilo Gram = (Volume in Centimeters)3 ÷ 6000
Volumetric weight so arrived at shall be rounded off to the next higher kilogram.
7. Postage or tariff or charges for the Postal articles shall be determined with reference to weight i.e. gross weight or volumetric weight, whichever is more.

Examples:

Book packet in cuboids shape weighing 5 Kg (gross Weight) and with 60 Cms. Length, 30 Cms. Breadth and 30 Cms. Height.
Gross Weight: 5 Kg.
Volumetric Weight = Length X Breadth X Height
                                                6000
                              = 60 X 30 X 30
                                      6000

                               = 54000     = 9 Kg.
                                   6000

Additional postage beyond 5 Kg. and upto 9 Kg.
First 50 Gms. = Rs. 4/-
Remaining 8950 Gms. = Rs. 537/-
