Technology giant Hewlett-Packard (HP) today unveiled DreamScreen 400, a digital interactive appliance, in collaboration with 12 content and service providers for all members of the family.
"We did intense research and development and collaborated with top content providers for a interactive and enriching experience," company's Vice President and General Manager Personal Systems Group Sunil Dutt told reporters here.
HP has collaborated with partners like Airtel and Tata Teleservices for Internet connectivity option, Aplalya and Tata Telecommunications for live darshan, Bill Desk for paying bill on-line, Edurite for education, Hungama for music and movies, India Games for games, India Today for media content, Music Today for music, NDTV for news and daily astrology and Yatra for booking air and train tickets.
The company will add on more services and partners, depending on the customers need, he said.
"We may add features like health, matrimony, cricket, spoken English and entrance exams related features in the futures depending on the need," he added.
He said this solution, developed in the country, is not only aimed at Indians living in the country but can enable the Indian living abroad to get connected to the India experience in their daily lives.
