Today, When I logged in to my Gmail Account, I Saw a a notification that Google has added few more features to Gmail it looked something like this

When I clicked on it, I came to know that they have added 15 Labs features to it. some of them are-

• Google Calendar and Docs gadgets
• A forgotten attachment detector
• Advanced IMAP controls
• Canned responses to save and send common replies automatically

If you are not aware of it i think there people who don’t know about this you can activate by clicking on settings which, you will find here

There you will find labs tab, from where you can enable the features to have a better experience of Gmail.

I got the News that there is a delay in Auction of 3G, and Hopefully it will be held in January next year.

this is the timeline according to a newspaper.

November 30th: Auction design, bid document to be prepared

December 15th: Inviting operators to bid

December 31th: Pre-qualification of bidders

January 15th: Auction to be completed

January 25th: Signing of contracts with successful bidders

January 31th: Depositing of first tranch of auction money.

even after the Auction will be done, it will take a year for the network providers to roll out the service to consumers,

few Operators in India have already started providing 3G enabled phones to their customers.
