Team at Qurtaba have added another front to their impressive Urdu language based apps, they have launched their Alif Bay Pay app for Amazon Kindle, as well. Earlier it was released on iTunes.
I love what Qurtaba are doing in a niche area of Urdu Language. Although their start was from Nan-Map for which they now have an iPhone App.There love for Urdu language related apps has been flourishing in recent months. Most of their apps are doing very well on app store, some impressive numbers for their popular Urdu apps are as follows.

I happened to be in Quetta on a business trip last month with no idea of where to dine alone. Being a typical Lahoriite, a die-hard food lover, it matters to me that I try the best food of the place I visit. So this is where FCPakistan came to my rescue. I simply logged in, typed in my desired specifications and got atleast 5 suggestions.
The listing included their opening times, specific facilities like ease for physically disabled customers, credit card acceptance, smoking areas, take away facility, whether valet parking was available or not, and even directions to get there! What more could you want.
Although that was the…

OLX is a global online retailer and auction site. They have an impressive footprint in a little less than 100 countries, each with their own specific domain (like .pk for Pakistan and .in for India).
In Pakistan they have been operating under olx.com.pk for some time with people using it to sell things online.
Recently they have started advertising heavily on Television, a medium seldom used by online businesses previously. The ads (two of which have appeared ) are witty and fun to watch.
The most important factor of these adds is that they are being advertised on media which previously none of our online businesses have used.
Most of…

CIO Pakistan started blog awards last year. Its is a good sign when some one takes initiative and starts some thing new. However its also difficult to introduce this into an already budding field of new media in Pakistan. Last years (or two years back now since its 2012) Awards were initiated so as it is expected it faced initial growing up pains. It always takes time for such thing to wins the trust of the community. And bloggers are one of the most hard people to win over, most of these are rebels in their own rights people who have started blogging to show the world their opinion…

Pakreport.org a tool which was instrumental in gathering statistics during the massive flooding in Pakistan, has created another study/stats gathering tool for our electoral activities. Interestingly its called do we vote
With political scene in Pakistan heating up it provides very valuable information to party supporters and their leaders. A quick look at it shows the all known facts that people in rural areas take their voting more seriously than all of us supposedly educated and enlightened urban population.
Pakreport.org was an initiative launched by Faisal Chohan of BrightSpyre during the floods, the effort enabled people on the ground to send sms (the most spread out communication medium in country)…

This is a revelation that came to me when I recently quit my comfy corporate job for the second time. If you are below 40 and some one asks you about how is your job going and your answer is not in tune of “I like my job because I love the work”.
You need to pause and asses your career, last time I answered this question my answer was “I like the job, because the benefits are good”, and that made me think (offcourse there were other factors as well). But if you are doing a job in which to satisfy your own self you have to look at…

16gb is discontinued and 32gb and 64gb are aviable, they are high vaue products with faster processors…… good news for games lovers. I opted for 8gb…. googluck

Hello Guys,
If your desperate to buy some Mac product the best way is to order online. You will be paying for the postage but still its a good deal as compare to the retailers.
The multiply everything with 77 lol and then they add another Rs.5000 – 20,000 dependin upon the product.
I recently bought my Ipod touch 64gb from Canada. I am having a nice time with this thing.
Its like a mini computer. I do all my banking, my shopping and almost everything on it.
Another news for apple crazys, apple is launching its tablet which is like 10″ bigger in coming dec, you can say its a biger version of iphone with offcourse a faster processor but this thing is definately not for me because the idea of carrying a brick larger than my face doesn’t appeal me much, so i will stick with my ipod touch.
I don’t see any point in buying Iphone in Pakistan. You simply can’t do anything with it and won’t be able to unless the networks are upgraded in every manner.
You guys can contact me for more help if you like.
I am available at : kahn604@hotmail.com

Hi Friends,
I came back to Pakistan on vacations and had problem with the Hard drive of my MacBook Pro. I called Apple Hotline and they gave me the contact details of Apple iStore Cavalry ground.
My experience with iStore was remarkable.
They gave me free of charge warranty claim.
iStore is an official Apple Authorized Reseller located just opposite to KFC Cavalry Ground
All the staff members and specially engineers are very cooperative and competent.
All Apple lovers should visit this store and experience the professional touch
