&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="400" width="588" alt="Terrafugia" src="http://imgur.com/I9pUd.jpg" align="middle"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Terrafugia has completed flight testing of the Transition POC  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Introducing the Transition®.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Simply land at the airport, fold your wings up and drive home. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fly a distance of 725 kilometers at speeds of 115 km/hour;  requires a special license to drive and fly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The time required for the transition from plane to car takes less than 30 seconds.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vehicle speed 185 km/hour, range is 724 km on highways &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vehicle is fueled with gasoline, and the price of the car is expected  to be around $200,000.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://manusrikumar.com/post/383519051</link><guid>http://manusrikumar.com/post/383519051</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:38:49 +0530</pubDate></item><item><title>Google Buzz!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;For people like me who use Gmail a lot, Buzz is going to be a far better tool!
