Amrita Rao

Welcome to my site - 'AMRITA RAO'

Would this ever be included in an American movie star's bio?

Coming from a very well-to-do Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin family, it was just by chance that Amrita walked in.... to audition for, 'Fairever Face Cream'ad. film

Which basically means, "A rich girl stumbled upon a TV commercial for skin whitening cream."

palmOne Software Connection- Software for Palm Handhelds and Treo Smartphones

I'm going to try to edit my technology posts a little more concisely, starting now. Maybe.

Today I got the Treo 600 mobile telephone from Sprint PCS. I am about six months late to this device, having stuck with the Danger Sidekick until the last possible minute.

It is an undertaking to install everything for Synch'ing the Treo 600 to my laptop. Nothing fun comes configured "out of the box" - Not even MP3s! Danger was so much easier.... Sigh- and I long for the unexpected benefits of no desktop synchronization!

Push on.

Cingular, T-Mobile sever joint venture | CNET News.com

Does this mean no more free GPRS roaming for Danger users? Cingular, T-Mobile sever joint venture | CNET News.com

UPDATE PROOF THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN SKIMMING MY ARTICLES WELL ENOUGH-- Zach Klein to me -- Regarding your blog and your concern for GPRS roaming -- The article on CNET spells it out, no?

T-Mobile, a U.S. subsidiary of Germany's Deutsche Telekom, said it will provide network services to Cingular customers until the AT&T Wireless acquisition is complete. And while both carriers pledged that customers will be unaffected by the arrangement, T-Mobile indicated that it will replace its existing roaming agreement with Cingular with a new nationwide agreement under different terms.

TelephonyOnline - Interview: Dave Schaeffer, Cogent Communications
When we bought PSINet, there was actual cash invested in that network of about $6 billion. We bought it for $10 million. The guy who is selling the service has a network that cost $6 billion, but he's got to get a return on it. We got all that capital for free.
