Hyderabad: A Software firm here has claimed to have produced a compact and portable electronic product that can send and receive e-mails sans any plugins.It might sound incredible, but this is exactly what a group of budding software professionals who formed the corporate entity NetIndia Pvt Ltd hardly a year ago perfected.
It is capable of sending e-mail and voice mail without a personal computer or Internet account, from anywhere in India to any part of the world and vice-versa, NetIndia managing director and the brain behind the innovative invention Hari Krishan Prasad told PTI here.
Designed and produced indigenously, the wonder gadget would be sold at Rs 1500, he said.
"The commercial production would commence after the launch by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu here on October 7," said Prasad after a demonstration of the product.
The cyber savvy chief minister was also extremely impressed with the functioning of the gadget when a demonstration was done before him, 32-year-old Prasad said.
The battery-operated gadget, called `Pianomail', bears a striking resemblance to a toy piano with a small key board and other sleek features.
It is user-friendly both in software and in its product design and functional and meets the environmental regulations, he added.
