Even a year after the iPhone was launched, cell phone manufacturers are still trying to knock Apple's ubergizmo off its perch as the leading touchscreen cell phone in the world.
it has been raining touchscreen phones ever since Apple's iPhone found favour with the masses in 2007. Unfortunately, most initial devices seemed to be little more than token attempts, with manufacturers focusing on the ‘touch' aspect, rather than attempting to match Apple's innovative interface. HTC's Touch did make an attempt to come out with a finger-friendly ‘skin' on top of its Windows 6 interface, but even that paled in comparison to the intuitive, easy-to-use interface offered by the iPhone. However, that trend seemed to change towards the end of 2008 with a number of manufacturers finally coming up with innovative product ideas. Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1 threw in a QWERTY keypad along with an interesting panel interface, while Samsung came out with a widget-driven interface for its TouchWiz and Omnia devices. HTC, in the meantime, put a spin on the TouchFlo interface that it had used in the original Touch, upgrading it to TouchFlo 3D and using it with the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro.

when FXLabs announced that it was making a computer game based on the Hindi film Ghajini, there were a few eyebrows raised in the Indian gaming industry. Although this was by no means the first time an Indian game developer had tied up with Bollywood, many people were surprised at the company's decision to develop a full-fledged game based on the film, for the PC. Most Bollywood-gaming collaborations have been restricted to casual games designed for cell phones. Attempts at PC games based on Hindi films have been few and forgettable-a game based on one of the Bhagat Singh films sank without a trace. In fact, most films-whether Hollywood or Bollywood-made for poor game adaptations.
