Buy iPhone 3G in India with Easy EMI Installment Plans

Posted: 07 Sep 2008 07:35 AM CDT

Iphone As the expensive pricing and data plans on Apple iPhone 3G shattered dreams of thousands of Indians who expected to become proud owners of the popular iPhone, the official providers Airtel and Vodafone made it easier to buy an iPhone by offering easy installment plans for potential iphone buyers.

Airtel EMI options lets customers buy the iPhone without having to pay the entire amount at one go. You can avail the EMI offer from several leading banks and pay the amount over a period of 12 months. E.g. ICICI bank offers instant loans with EMI of Rs. 2583 for 12 months on a 8GB iphone, with 0% interest rate, 0% preclosure fee, but a one time 12.65% processing fee.

Vodafone easy monthly installments are offered at Vodafone Store and is available on the several bank credit cards. E.g. Axis bank offers instant loans with EMI of Rs. 2663 for 12 months on a 8GB iphone, with 14% reducing interest rate, 3% preclosure fee, but a one time 1% processing fee.

The bank loan rates are so variable, that you need to carefully read the fine print, and besides the EMI monthly installments, also look at the extra money you would have to pay via interest rates, preclosure fees, and processing fees. Are you willing to buy an iphone now?

Sitemeter Migrates: All Premium Accounts $6.95 / Month

Posted: 07 Sep 2008 07:01 AM CDT

Sitemeter is modifying its business strategy as competition heats up among popular site traffic statistics services available on the Internet. Sitemeter has revealed that its migrating its current platform to start up a new one scheduled for the weekend of September 13th – 14th.

Some of the major announcements included that All Premium Accounts will only pay one flat fee of $6.95 a month or $59.00 a year, which will apply to all new signups and current paid accounts going forward. If you see the current premium rates below, that becomes very affordable for bigger sites with huge traffic.

Sitemeter Premium Rates

Compare the basic and premium packages to see the difference.

Visit Counts will likely be higher as they have added the ability to track visits using cookies, which helps distinguish unique visitors far more accurately. Free service users with large volumes of visit traffic may notice lower visit counts (explained here).

Page View counts may be slightly lower, since their updated Bot Filtering Database will now exclude counts to your stats from automated Bot's hitting websites.

SiteMeter Website and panel access will be unavailable during the Weekend of the Migration scheduled for the 13th-14th September, though your stats will still be tracked, all historical data will be migrated and all users will have to Activate their account again on the new platform to gain access to new stats.

They further inform that the counter display image will no longer be part of the tracking code. To still keep a counter, you need to install a separate code. This will give webmasters more flexibility in displaying the counter where they want, more options and faster page load times. Following the migration, all counter display images will change automatically to the static default SiteMeter icon.

We have been using the Sitemeter free services for several years and it has provided accurate stats across 500K pageviews for free. I hope the new platform continues to provide the great service. Several amazing tools have recently emerged and I particularly like Woopra, though its daily 10,000 pageview limit is inhibitory. Google Analytics is a very powerful free site traffic service for detailed site data, and a must have tool for webmasters. We run several traffic stats tools on our site and it all adds up to rich informative data to understand our site visitors better.
