10 Reasons Street Hawkers are like Email Spam


Image by LeeLeFever
One of the most striking things about being a westerner in India is the aggressiveness of tenacity of touts or hawkers – people who approach you on the street wanting to sell something or provide a service.
Indians are very enterprising and given many of their situations, it’s no surprise that they really want to do business. Unfortunately their methods do more to repel business than attract it for people like me. The touts are a lot like email spam, or as Sachi says, pop-up windows. We call it "sidewalk spam".
First, they are selling something you don’t want or need and never asked for.
Second, their message is indescriminate -we often hear offers to shine our shoes, which are usually sandals.
Third, they will not take "no" or "nahin" for an answer, ever.
Fourth, they are inexhaustable. Behind each tout is a line waiting (or not) for their turn.
Fifth, they do not speak English very well.
Sixth, the majority have hidden agendas and their only goal is to extract a maximum amount of money, even through dishonest means.
Seventh, responding in any way only encourages them. Showing a bit of interest causes a feeding frenzy.
Eighth, they interfere with the messages you want to hear. Well meaning individuals are often lost in the melee.
Ninth, it is a numbers game. Their MO seems to be tenacity and bombardment. Sending the message repetitively to 1000s of people is how to get one to bite.
Tenth and finally, they are learning quickly. Recently I saw two interesting products from the touts – Foreign newspapers including USA Today
- SD memory cards
This is a vast improvement over faux wood carved elephants, postcards and bracelets.
Unfortunately, like spam, the ignorant and naive make their business model work. So, the message here is to do your part to fight sidewalk spam – ignore it completely and hope that it goes away.

The iPhone. It has crawled into the hearts of many Americans and people world wide. Too bad. It really is sad that the people of the world love such a stupid device. It is really just an application launcher. It doesn’t have detailed tabs or a file explorer or much of anything. It just plays video, shows pictures, and opens apps.

A lot of the iPhone craze is simply because of the letter i. Infact, when I first saw an iPhone commercial for the first time, I wanted one. I talked about it for months and was extremely disappointed when I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. When I made the switch, I got the T-Mobile Wing. (which came out before the iPhone) It did so much. It has apps and video and pictures and so many different things. I was extrememly elated.

Then I had too ask myself, if this runs on windows mobile, why can’t it load windows programs. I started looking for some of the programs I had on my computer but by searching windows mobile version and viola! I found a haven in my pocket pc.

Regardless of what most people will tell you, WinMo has way more apps than the iPhone or the iPod Touch. People say that since there are two devices for apple, there are more freelance/third party developers. This is a stupid argument seen as to the fact that there are over 40 windows mobile devices no to mention the fact that windows mobile apps can be written in major languages like C and C++. Not only this, but there are tons of freeware for windows mobile where as to get free iPhone apps, they must be jailbroken and usually on a jailbroken device.

Some people say that it’s the musical ability and capabilities of the iPhone since iApple has had tons of time to work on there music players and things. Windows mobile devices actually have better speakers and capabilities since we aren’t limited to just one media player.
Speaking of limitations, only apps supported by iApple and/or AT&T can be purchased from the app store, where windows mobile apps can be found all over the internet. Don’t believe me? Go to google and type in ppc freeware. The very first resulti s a website with over 6600 FREE apps. This isn’t just limited to games.

“Well apples apps are better” Not really. For every app they’ve got, we’ve got one. We have media players and picture viewers. We have apps like shazam and we even have apps that enable us to listen to any song on our PCs. “Yeah but I bet the games are lame” Most games that are available for the iPhone and iPod Touch are available for WinMo. We also have games made by third parties and games taken from older systems. You could even download and play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 with all the features including the park editor and character creator. Or one of the two available need for speed games. If that’s not enough gaming for you, windows mobile has plenty of emulators. Ever want to kick back and play an old school nes/snes or sega genesis game? Well there are plenty of emulators and millions of roms that aren’t the slightest bit hard to find.

“Well when I turn my iPhone, the screen turns” When I turn my Touch Pro 2 next week, the screen will turn. Not only that but we have several devices that support the accelerometer. Did I mention that the accelerometer is controlable? You can decide which apps it does or doesn’t work with and when it’s opperative.

If you like the super sensative screen and the finger friendliness, go put on a glove and try it again. Doesn’t work so well does it. We have things like touch flo and touch flo 3d for the finger friendly thing and we can also use a stylus, unlike the iPhone.

“Well I like my iPhone because it’s easy to use” Windows mobile has plenty of skins and interfaces to make the device easier to use for less experienced pc people. Infact, if you just like the iPhone’s interface, you can download an iPhone skin. There are plenty of easy to use skin and interfaces that simplicity isn’t really a problem.

Another great feature about ppcs is XDA-DEVS. There are one million, seven hundred twenty six thousand, six hundred thirty six people in one web community to discuss ppcs. With an iPhone, you’d have to wait for an administered rom to come out like a medical patient. With Windows Mobile, there are plenty of freelance roms with different features.

The software on pocket pc’s is also marvelous. Not only must programs be installed, but the CABs can be kept incase you delete the program/app and decide you want it back later. This way you can quickly reinstall it without having to redownload.

But what about the hardwear. The iPhone is thin and sexy. Well for starters, let’s pretend your iPhone just froze and the button’s not working. Quick, take out the battery. Exactly. But if you really must have thin, we’ve got thin, keyboardless phones too. We even have phones with both slide out keyboards (in all four directions) and onscreen keyboards. Not only that but WinMo is on more than just one phone. If you like small, fat, thin, o

Which is better is strictly opinion. It all depends on what you enjoy doing with your mobile device. I have owned an HTC Touch Pro and and HTV Mogul, both of which ran WM 6.1. Now i own a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS (it literally takes 10 mins to completely hack the iPhone)

WM might have more applications but they are nowhere near as refined and smooth as the Iphone apps. Not to mention the jailbroken apps allow you to do things that i have never been able to find on any wm phone. 50,000 apps on apples network alone, that isnt including jailbroken cydia apps. Yes alot of the apps are useless, but the same applies for windows.

If i ever feel like downloading music or movies, i just use the dTunes app ( a bit torrent for jailbroken phones)

XDA Developers is an AWESOME site for tweaking your phone, but there is also sites such as i-hacked which are generally the same.

The iphone doesnt use .CAB files for storage, instead you just re-download directly from the app store which is equally as fast because the iPhone doesn’t lag, ever, and the apps download and install in the background anyways so its not really a big deal when it comes to managing programs and apps.

Both phones are equally awesome and are fully capable for everyone to use. I simply got the iPhone because it runs perfectly smooth and i was tired of windows mobile. Everything i have ever managed to do on my HTC Touch Pro i can do on my iPhone better for the most part, it just takes getting used to, just like anything else.

Things like no physical keyboard and un-removable battery def suck, but they arent deal breakers for me. Thats why this answer is just my opinion.

BTW, i have an NES, Genesis, and PS One emulator, original Quake (console commands included), as well as apps that even let me call someone with other peoples numbers and soundboard them with Michael Jacksons voice.

There is a file explorer too.

Fun Times.
