Infibeam has launched its own brand of mobiles!

Infibeam has partnered with a global mobile phone manufacturer to launch a series of unique mobiles with features and applications that appeal to Indian consumers.

Speaking on the launch, Vishal Mehta, our CEO and Founder, said "India has over 400 million mobile phone subscriber base with 10 million new users being added every month. The recent auction of 3G in India opens up great opportunities to think of mobile phones as a platform and offer services such as eBooks, mCommerce, mobile payments as well as other digital media". He added, "The company targets to scale up its handset sales by introducing models with applications that are well suited to offer these services to Indian consumers at competitive pricing."

We have launched three models, each meant for specific audiences:

• I666 - All the features of a smart phone in a hip form factor, for the teenagers
• I5000 - Thin business phone, touch screen, for techies and professionals in their 20s
• I500 - Full qwerty business phone compatible with Nokia accessories, for the Indian business man

Please do let us know your thoughts and comments.

Mirror, mirror, who's the greatest of them all?

If I have to choose a winner amongst all the Online Book-Stores, it would be Infibeam, with Landmark a close second although it has its own technical issues. e.g. at the time of publishing, landmarkonthenet.com was down! Flipkart.com comes out to be a little costlier. Rediff has its UI issues as I mentioned above. Lastly, Odyssey needs to stock up more books!
