Google’s Nexus One smartphone is already being sold in different locations around the world, but so far not in India. It has now been reported that Google is planning a launch of a ’scaled down’ version of the Nexus One for the Indian market.

Currently details havent been release, but im sure the price would hopefully reflect the market and also the specs. There is a very big mobile phone market in India which is dominated by Nokia and Blackberry.

The original Nexus One features 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash, 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen, 512MB Flash along with a 4GB microSD slot, video recording at 20 frames per second and numerous Google services such as Gmail, Google Search etc.

For all that’s in the air for now, a report suggests that the new Nexus One for India will have a 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen and Snapdragon processor but with a downgraded memory and Camera. Now, let’s wait and watch if Google really makes a hit on this one.

YouTube to Stream Live Cricket: Indian Premier Cricket League

YouTube streaming live entertainment – it was inevitable really. The world’s biggest video website was eventually going to push into the market of sites like UStream. For their first outing into this unfamiliar field they’re sticking with a market which is sure to please many of our Indian readers – live Indian Premier League Cricket.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though YouTube are taking any steps to secure broadcasting rights for Western sports such as football (World Cup 2010 would be a great launching pad), Golf, Rugby, American Football, Basketball or Tennis – all of which would have a huge audience. Perhaps they’re seeing how people adapt to watching sports online in a less prominent market before they go mainstream on YouTube.com.

They are due to begin broadcasting cricket on YouTube in March.

So, who would have though the first sport to receive mainstream online broadcasting attention would be Indian Cricket?

UK based advertising network AdSmart, which also had its presence in India through its Delhi-based venture AdRevenue, has gone bust.

A source at AdRevenue informs Crenk that the closure of AdSmart won’t affect the business of AdRevenue, but the company will now operate under a new name, E-Spot Media Pvt Ltd.

There are obviously several sites that will now be out of pocket from this closure, such as Games2win who has already published an article about their loss.

If you have more information on the closure or have been using Adsmart please drop us a comment.
