Canvas M to Launch Coloured Notes in India

Canvas M, a joint venture between Tech Mahindra Ltd. and Motorola Inc., said on Thursday it will launch colored notes, a mobile phone messaging application, in India in six months.

It said it was also working on mobile wallet application that allows payment of bills by passing handsets over scanners at cash registers, replacing plastic cards.

Coloured notes, which will enable senders to animate their text messages via emoticons that will read them out to receivers, may become Canvas M's first commercial application to be launched in India since its formation around six months back.

Canvas M declined to name the telecom players who will provide the service.

"I can't tell you the names of the customers as these are path breaking things by which they create brands for themselves," Tech Mahindra President C.P. Gurnani told reporters at the inauguration of its innovation centre in Noida.

Canvas M said it was also doing mobile phone content delivery trials in Europe, mobile TV trials in Hong Kong and the mobile phone commercial application trials in the United States.
