A 26 years old mobile phone dealer and two others have been arrested for their alleged involvement in selling pornographic MMS clips and photographs to youngsters.

Puneet Berry and his two accomplices Istkhar Ahmed and Ram Pal Singh were caught after Kalkaji Police sent a decoy customer to Berry’s Nokia mobile phone shop in Govindpuri.

Berry agreed to transfer 45-50 pornographic clips to the cell phone memory card of the decoy, using bluetooth technology, for Rs 500.

As soon as the deal was finalised, the police team raided the shop and seized the computer, card reader and the phone data cable. All the three accused were arrested.

So, to all London dwellers, take this chance.

Rise: London United is Londons biggest free music festival and takes place at Finsbury Park on Saturday 8th July. The festival aims to bring together the diverse community that is London. This is the sixth year that the Mayor of London has organised this free festival as a celebration of London’s diversity and to oppose racism.

In 2005, over 80,000 young people and their families attended the festival, which also brought together Londoners from all communities in the wake of the bombings on 7 July. The People’s Choice competition is for photographers to capture London’s diversity through their mobile phone cameras. Participants can send a picture taken on their phone as a picture message (MMS) to 07922 4 36 366, with RISE in the subject or as a keyword in the text field. Following receipt of the picture a message is sent back to the entrant with a link to the mobile internet site. The mobile internet site will display a range of entries, last year’s winners and details about the festival.

Mayor Ken Livingstone said: I want to see images which reflect one of the greatest aspects of this city that London is one of the most diverse cities in the world and its different communities enjoy living side by side. One of the best aspects of this contest is that everyone from children to adults to grandparents has the same chance of winning if they take the right picture. Look around in your neighbourhood, you might find you have a scene that captures London’s diversity right on your doorstep. Good luck to everyone who enters.

SMS, MMS and blogging have changed the way people communicate and have an increasing influence in daily life.

These new technologies can no longer be ignored and gone are the days of relying on traditional modes of communication like radio, TV and newspapers, to reach out to the masses.

Some of the technologies that can be leveraged on are tools like blogs, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) and even podcasts for PR and promotional activities.

The PR Academy’s 5th Annual Conference, “New Media: The New Frontier in Communications and PR,” aims to demystify the myths surrounding new media.

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions that protect against viruses, Trojans, spyware, worms, hacker attacks and spam, is beginning open beta testing of a new generation protection system for Symbian smartphones, and is inviting all interested parties to participate.

Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Mobile is a fully functional, integrated security solution that uses advanced technology to protect smartphones against malicious programs and unwanted SMS/MMS messages or spam. It provides antivirus protection from Symbian smartphones both on access (viruses are intercepted in real-time) and on demand (the program scans files on the smartphone, including memory extension cards). The solution also protects the mobile device against spam in the form of SMS/MMS messages using a blacklist. The user can control the program’s settings, view current antivirus protection status and the event log where the program’s actions are recorded.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile includes antivirus database updating that ensures that the device is protected against the latest malicious programs. Updating can be performed automatically using a scheduling tool or manually, on the user’s demand. Database updates are downloaded via WAP or HTTP from Kaspersky Lab servers. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile takes advantage of advanced features found in today’s smartphones and uses the device’s web browser to receive antivirus database updates and information about the viruses detected.
