Today I am amidst some the very innovative products in India right now. Read below to know why I sound so excited:
Sonim: Sonim has solutions in the mobile technology area. They demoed their intersting rugged wireless device that works as a walkie-talkie, Presence and Mobiltiy enabled device, a mobile pager and a normal GSM phone. Another key functionality is a bundled push-to-talk feature.
Digit: The Indian qwerty is here! And guess what who is doing it? A foreign company! Digit demoed FasTap, a system of fitting more keys on your mobile phone pad. It is basically an arrangement of ‘high’ and ‘low’ keys to make a synthesizer keyboard kind of model. They have a list of patents around this idea and mechanical design, so the idea of copying this stuff is out of question! They are basically looking at licensing the technology to handset manufacturers. Pretty cool stuff!
Mobisy: “10 lines of code and you can integrate with a big application like Facebook!” Mobisy demoed an application platform that makes you write an application for a mobile phone very very fast. Their representative, Chhavi, said they are not rivalling Symbian, Java or Windows Mobile. But they would like to push it through the handset makers. Their platform is made to work like a platform on another mobile.
