HCL plans R&D wing at Technopark

As the clouds of recession are fading out from the IT sector, the Technopark here is gearing up to accord a red-carpet welcome to major players in the IT sector.

HCL, one of the leading IT firms in the country, is planning to set up its own campus at the Technopark. Many other companies have also applied for space in the upcoming Phase-III expansion of Technopark.

Technopark Chief Executive Officer Mervin Alexander, conforming this, said that HCL had sought around two acres of space at the Phase-III project for setting up a research and development wing. ‘‘Things are at the initial stage only. But if it materialises, it would be the first R&D wing of HCL in Kerala,’’ Mervin told ‘Express.’

‘‘We also see bright prospects for the state’s IT sector in the coming years as many leading companies are approaching us for setting up new projects as well as expansion of the existing ones. Tata Consultancy Services, which had attained special economic zone (SEZ) status for setting up its own campus in the Technopark around a year ago, has now started construction activities. These are all positive signs,’’ he said.

At present, more than 150 companies are functioning in the Technopark.

Aircel introduces Peek in India

Unlimitted emailing at a fixed cost, well thats what Aircel promotes by introducing Peek. Peek is a low cost email device. An user needs to register his email account once and his email is automatically delivered to the Peek. Push mail delivers new emails to your Inbox automatically. Device will cost only around Rs. 3000 and would require another Rs. 300 monthly for the email service.

Checkout the Peek intro video at http://www.aircel.com/AircelPortal/peek/page/product_video.html

Peek is minimilistic and you should not expect the features of a smartphone. In short you should be a Peeky !!! The user interface is simple, there is a clickwheel to browse the inbox and an all purpose cancel/back button. Using the backspace key you can delete spam and unwanted emails. You’re notified of a new email in 3 ways – the blinking envelope indicator on the top left, a vibrate alert, and a sound alert.

Peek is not a storage device as it has only 8 MB of memory and not a smartphone as it has only a 100MHz processor. It’s battery lasts for 2 to 3 days for an average email user.

So get you wife a Peek today, after all Peek was born on a walk in the park when Amol Sarva (CEO of Peek) and his wife, Ursula, were expecting their first child. Check out the story at http://www.getpeek.com/aboutpeek.html.
