Well, it was a long time coming, but YouTube has finally made its localized Indian version go live. Now, YouTube users from India are given access to a highly personalized version of the site, featuring content that’s filtered through a so-called “Indian lens.” The live video charts show what videos are being watched by users in India, and the featured videos are now targeted towards an Indian audience. Literally dozens of local partners have also been signed-up by YouTube to provide home-grown content to the users. And they even launched an official Indian YouTube Blog. So if you’re looking for some original South Asian video goodness, head on over to http://in.youtube.com.

Ha, I bet you thought this was about a new iPod nano. Nope! It isn’t even about the integration of the iPod into a car. What is it about then? Its the Tata Nano car and it costs just $2,500, i.e. the price of a lot of the gadgets we have seen at CES this year, and although you may not get much in terms of luxuries associated with the car, you sure do get a lot for your $2,500.

The car is called the Tata Nano and its currently the world’s cheapest car. Amazingly it has four doors and five seats, but with a 33bhp 624cc engine I imagine it will be pretty slow going with 4 adults inside. The car is targeted at the developing countries and has been made with no air conditioning, power steering or electric windows, but, and you have to love this, “two deluxe models will be on offer.”

At 50 miles per gallon it is pretty economical and (as you can see from the diagram above) has been made with very much with cost in mind.
