10. Gutka – Sikh Prayers (Nitnem)
Amar Singh
Gutka is designed for Sikhs who want an convenient way to read their prayers. If you are on the train, in the office, delayed at the airport or even on the couch – launch Gutka to remember the Guru and recite Gurbani. The idea was to design a beautiful, elegant, easy to use application for the Sikh prayers. I also wanted to include as many elements of Sikh art history into the design to bring awareness to our rich heritage.
Included Bani :
Jaap Ji Sahib
Jaap Sahib
Rehras Sahib
Anand Sahib
Kirtan Sohila

Hi Willard..Thanks..thats so very nice of u!!
iphone is a really good phone but still it is not compatible with lot of business related things, i dont understand why cant apple fix the problem with the antenna instead of saying there is no antenna problem,
Yes, they have been avoiding the question all along. As for business applications, Blackberry is the best.
