Indian Railways launches RailRadar, lets you track trains via Google Maps

Indian Railways has just made it a little easier for rail travelers with a new web app called RailRadar, which uses Google Maps to track trains on a real-time basis. This is certainly welcome on one of the largest rail networks in the world -- it operates more than 10,000 trains everyday -- though the service is only available on 6,500 trains for now. To find out where your train is, simply search for its name or number and RailRadar will spot it for you. You can also find trains by entering the name of the station. Blue highlights indicate trains that are on time while red means it's behind schedule. If you click on a train, it'll show its entire route from start to finish. The logical next step would be for this to be on smartphones like how it is in Japan, though we're not sure if that's in the cards just yet.

Apple reveals unlocked iPhone 5 pricing, guesswork begins for India prices

Apple has finally decided to reveal the pricing of the SIM-free iPhone 5 models in the United States as well as several other countries. While, the availability details are known for some of these countries, there is no word on when unlocked iPhone 5 will be out in the United States.

The unlocked pricing of Apple products in US also gives an idea on how the same products will be priced in India. The company has priced 16GB iPhone 5 at $649, 32GB at $749 and 64GB at $849.

These prices translate to around Rs.35, 480 for 16GB version, Rs. 40,962 for 32GB version and Rs. 46,431 for the 64GB version, at the current exchange rate. Typically, the Apple iPhone/iPad is priced around their US unlocked pricing plus 30 percent of that cost. This 30 percent account for the customs duty and other taxes that Indian government levies on these products.

So, according to this logic, the iPhone 5 is expected to be priced around Rs. 46,120 (16GB version), Rs. 53,250 (32GB version) and Rs. 60,360 (64GB version). However, there is no official confirmation on these prices or the India launch date right now. Rumours however suggest that iPhone 5 might be released in India part of the third batch countries, which are yet to be revealed. (Also see: iPhone 5 now available for pre-order)

According to Apple, the iPhone 5 unlocked models will go on sale in the United States "in the coming weeks". The company however did not give a fixed date.
