Facebook and Paypal launch a new peer-to-peer money transfer application

Paypal has launched a facebook application named "Send Money" that lets people send money to their friends. We will be having two choices :
    1. Either send money simply
    2.Or send money with an e-card.

You can select a card from the list, then choose whom to send, i.e. your friend's name and then how much money to send. There are several other ways to pay with paypal via facebook but this is the first application that enables peer-to-peer payments via Facebook and Paypal. There are no extra transaction fees apart from Paypal's regular limits and international fees because it is a peer-to-peer transaction.


The main objective of this application is to enable people from all around the world to send and recieve money through world's largest social networking site. Paypal was there to emphasize on e-cards. According to Paypal, more than 500 million ecards are sent every year. So we can get loads of choices in e-cards for bithdays or any other occasions. People on facebook who see that its a friend's birthday can quickly launch the application and send a card and some cash within no time. The application is also considered to be useful for lottery pools. 

 Who knows how far this application can go. Maybe its gonna replace many other money transfer methods in future!

Hands On: India’s $35 Aakash Android tablet lands in America (exclusive)

The Indian government thinks the $35 Aakash Android tablet has the power to change the world. After testing one out, we’d tend to agree.
An Aakash tablet was brought to the VentureBeat office on Tuesday by Vivek Wadhwa, a visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley and Duke. Wadhwa, who is researching the Indian education system, and is a columnist with the Washington Post, was given the tablet by Kapil Sibal, the Indian minister of human resources and development, who has been the driving force behind the tablet project. The device (whose name means “Sky” in Hindi) was produced entirely in India — a point of pride for the Indian government.

The 7-inch Android-based device will be distributed at a government subsidized price of $35, making it the world’s cheapest Android device. The general retail price will be $60, which is still remarkably cheap for such a powerful device. A contract between the Indian government and Canadian development partner DataWind, should put between 10 and 12 million devices in the hands of students across India by the end of 2012, according to Computer World.

Aakash stats at-a-glance:

Screen: 7-inches; 800-by-400 pixels; Resistive touchscreen

Operating system: Android 2.2, Froyo

Processor: 366 MHz Connexant; HD Video co-processor (both with graphics accelerators)
