The Apple iPhone 4S was launched on both Aircel and Airtel in India today at a midnight launch ceremony. The Airtel launch was held at an upscale restaurant while Aircel decided to keep it real by holding the event at their South Extension market retail outlet. The launch events included handing over the handsets to the first pre-order customers.

You’ve already seen the plans on both the carriers. The iPhone 4S in India does not seem to have any specific tweaks made to Siri. Mapping via Siri did not work during our trials.

The Indian accent was also quite a hit or miss for the voice control service. The iPhone 4S has been priced at Rs 44,500 for the 16GB model.

We checked out the soon to be launched Airtel Mobile TV app powered by Airtel 3G. The live tv app we checked is for Symbian. It runs on all symbian platforms except s60V2. This app comes with preloaded channels and we believe its free of charge to use. But you may be charged for data usage. The app streams the good number of channels without buffering. We are quite impressed with the streaming quality. We hope that the app will support streaming of videos as we found a video menu inside the app.
