Comments by Ravindra Marda of eyeproperties were quoted in an article “Great Homes in Pune West” in the “Times of India” Pune edition on 28th March, 2008.IT makes the differenceThere's a buzz around western Pune, thanks to the influx of IT professionals,says Menka ShivdasaniOne of the nicest things to have happened to both Pune and Mumbai in recent times was the completion of Nitin Gadkari's Mumbai-Pune Expressway in 2002.

Some examples are the original moving ball-application from Nokia, the light sabre or Accelerinvaders. It’s finally possible to reach a bigger target audience than a few months ago when we released CarMeter and gBoarder, which were only supported by the Nokia 5500 Sport.Control a real car in a natural way by tilting your phone!Now we wanted to take the acceleration sensor of a mobile phone to the next level and use it to control something literally “bigger” than an application that is running on the phone itself.The result is called “ShakerRacer” (thanks to Adam Montandon for this great name!).
