Speaking on the first of kind launch in India, Mr. Vishal Mehta, our CEO and Founder, said "Phi is undoubtedly one of the most technically suave gadgets for viewing movies, listening to music, reading magazines and playing games. Ever since we launched the Pi earlier this year, India's first ebook reader supporting local Indian languages, several users have been requesting a device with touchscreen and color having wifi capabilities. Infibeam Phi is the perfect answer as it is equipped with innovative touch-screen technology, and a list of infotainment features." He adds, "The Phi supports many different media, adding to the appeal of the device".
The best part is that you get a choice between Windows Phi and the Android Phi. This way, our customers have a choice of choosing the device based on the range of possibilities - from Microsoft Office on the Windows Phi to Android apps on the Android Phi!
The Phi is slated for release on July 30, 2010 and will have a price tag of Rs 14,999.

@nagarajur There will be limited support for regional languages in this release of Phi, and in PDF files only.
ReplyDelete@"s@m" Unfortunately, the Phi currently does not support DRMed books, so it will not work with the ebooks we currently sell.
You can order the Phi:Windows online and it will be delivered to your home address.
The Phi has a LCD screen like that on normal computers and battery lasts for 4-5 hours.
can some one pls tell me... if this windows phi is as efficient as the ebook reader to read books...I would like to choose between the e book reader and windows phi... the major purpose is to read books though..
ReplyDelete@genieass If you read books that are mostly text, then you will like the Pi. If you read books that have a lot of pictures, or magazines and PDFs, then you will prefer the Phi.

I mean can i use this port as a normal laptops port for transfering files in the phi?
And will i able to install any other software in it like i want to USB internet will i be able to install it setup in PHI?
@Nagar All softwares compatible with Android version are supported and can be copied / installed via the USB port or via Internet. Likewise, the USB port can be used to copy files.

@shameer - Phi doesn't support internet connection through eathernet or usb. While using wifi battery lasts for 4 hours. IF you want further information please call us on 079-40260260 or mail your query on customerservice@infibeam.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think Phi should be given USB internet connection support as in India WIFi isn 't available everywhere. Or a GPRS will be better option.
