If so, install that jar on your mobile. (or) b) Rename the zip file to jar. E.g. Rename abc.zip to abc.jar and try installing that on your mobile. Hey Manoj,

However, from whatever i could understand, the analysis sounded just superb. Anyway, macha, the imobile application now comes through a zip file and whenever i tried installing it gives a 'corrupt file' message. Could you please explain how to install the zip file / the latest imobile application into my Nokia E63. I would appreciate an early reply, as we are restricted from using net while in office and this application would save me lot of rounds of the bank Hi Aswin

But I find that you had a narrow focus and failed to explain what these loopholes are supposed to harm mobile users. You were talking more about RBI rules and the need to remove the application from the ICICI site. Nothing else? Obviously you are not trying to dissuade mobile users from using this application. If this application is installed on phone memory, would there be no security breaches by hackers? Anyway, the reason why I have searched for info on IMobile is that when I am trying to down load Imobile onto my computer, it is giving a zip file. I was expecting a jar file so that my nokia could automatically install imobile when I copied it from my computer. If you can please explain me how to install the zip file into my nokia n95 8gb, I would greatly appreciate it. Recently I have downloaded HDFC Bank mobile application developed by third party. Although, it has all the features of IMoble, the interface is highly low rateed! Besides it appears to me always that there is the third party(ngpay) doing this service to me. The Imobile interface I have seen on another mobile looked extremely professional. I wish you have a look at it too. Hi aswin

I can undertand that not safe to do bank transactions on mobile phones yet in India since RBi has not clarified its rules regarding that. My personal choice I prefer the olden days method ( goin in person - its ur hard earned money) . I only use ATM very rarely Net banking Hi there ashwin , it was a nice post ,though am not a techie guy to understand clearly what you are pointing out.

None of the jar files can be downloaded. And for the record, i was an existing iMobile user, and had upgrade my WinMo firmware... Oh i guess all the links are brought down now.
