Nice issue regardless of what others have to say. Mainly due to the visible differences like better page quality at last. ALl thanks to the better ink, or the non-environment friendly paper whichever reason be it. Please stick to it. Another striking thing, LESS ADS directly in the main mag. Most of the ads in the currest issues are whole page ads which IMO are better than those business/company info ads like those from HP/ASus in the last few issues consuming 4-5 pages which make me feel am i scrolling thru the financial reports of a company like the one they send if you are their shareholders every new financial year.
As for the MAG contents they are good. I am really liking Nimish's articles in the mag from the last few issues and more importantly the style of writing. Raaabo ran outta ink this time around? And is Ahmad Shaikh back? Saw his name in the A windows to change article. The articles i liked were the Sound.com one, Rust in Peace and the battle of the browsers( could have said opera is a clear winner more boldly :d ). 5 small 'Tell me more booklets' in one issue leave me somewhat confused.
Please stick to this paper/ink. The mag is a lot better visually and everything printed is very clear now. I havent checked the dvd yet, so cant comment on the new interface. Digit Dvds and my laptops optical drive have some issues.. Would check it on the desktop before making an comment.
The first thing i checked in the mag was Agent 001. Right from the moment i saw that agent 001 is in search of mp3 player on the preview page, and while getting the mag from the newsstand- I had this feeling that agent 001 would select the same mp3 player that i did a month back. And guess what, it turned out to be the same! The price is something which was quite contradictory. I got the same player t.sonic 610 1 gig for 5.3k and agent 001 managed to get a 6k price. Wonder if it was deliberate or the choice of Herra Panna over Lammy was a wrong one.
Changes I would like to see: Better Alist and would prefer it to be the old fashioned way like it was a few years back. I would like if its updated every month and giving a more better view of the new happening devices rather than the almost same list. And I dont remember the exact name, but there was a budget component list along with the Alist previously (CHIP days). Many would like that thing to return because at the end of the day, budget is always an criterion and suggesting the best bang of the buck devices to power up a system would be appreciated by many who dont have much knowledge about hardware.
Another thing i would like to say is, I get a feeling that digit is not serious abt the digit patron
what is wrong? No new updates in the gifts, my 2 redemmed gifts are still in queue for well over a month.
Just my views
