The Premium section will comprise of the applications priced at $20 (Rs. 1,020 approx.) and above.

Apple is planning to launch a netbook computer with a touch screen monitor as early as the second half of this year, two people close to the situation told Dow Jones Newswires Tuesday.
The mini laptop computers will likely have monitor screens that are between 9.7-inches and 10-inches, one person, who declined to be named, said.
Another person said other specifications and functions are still under evaluation.
Apple is apparently working with Taiwan's Wintek to make the touch-screen displays and Quanta Computer to assemble the new netbooks. Most analysts think that the Apple netbook will still cost an arm and a leg, thus indicating that yet again Jobs' Mob will have missed the point of netbooks.

It's hard to think of a brand more synonymous with Web communication than Google, considering the company's domination of the search market space. But as busy as the Mountain View, CA-based company has been with its new toys as of late -- Android-based phones, new Web advertising initiatives, a customized Web browser -- it's sorely neglected its account on one of the Web's most up-and-coming communication platforms: Twitter, or the "YouTube of real-time search," as suggested by John Battelle.
Combine Twitter's ramping up of its real-time search capabilities with the service's core metrics, nearly 2.7 million U.S. visitors for the month of December 2008 alone, and a potent picture emerges. In addition, the company not only turned down a $500 million offer from Facebook in November, but it's gone ahead and raised an additional $35 million in funding from its venture capital partners just earlier this month.

Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc.’s Android operating system, after making inroads into the mobile-phone market, may be running on portable computers within the next year, challenging the dominance of Microsoft Corp.
Google, which owns the most popular Internet search engine, could use its brand name and community of developers to get the software onto low-cost notebooks, said Ray Valdes, an analyst at Gartner Inc. One chipmaker, Freescale Semiconductor Inc., is already working on designs for an Android computer.
“Android could be a piece of a larger competitive battle between Google and Microsoft,” Valdes said. The San Jose, California-based analyst expects some kind of personal-computer device to use Android in the next 12 to 18 months.
Google is stepping up competition with Microsoft in areas outside of Internet searches, where it commands more than 60 percent of the U.S. market. While Android already battles Microsoft in software for mobile phones, moving into PCs would encroach onto its rival’s home turf. Microsoft has more than 90 percent of the operating-system market for PCs.
Google, based in Mountain View, California, rose $10.45, or 3.1 percent, to $353.11 yesterday in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares tumbled 56 percent last year. Microsoft, which dropped 45 percent in 2008, climbed 3 cents to $18.12.
