Webdunia.com India Pvt Ltd : Dainik Samachar

With the aim of providing information to the Indian public in their native

language, Webdunia develped this mobile application to enable 24/7 news updates

in 9 Indian languages (Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil,

Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada). A user can get the latest news related to

national, international, sports, share, cricket and business & commodity

markets. Dainik Samachar displays content in the local language irrespective of

whether the device supports that language or not. It targets individuals who

like to commune in their own dialects. In a sense, it furthers the cause of

providing VAS in rural markets with its emphasis on local dialects and

compatibility with low-end handsets. This application is campatible for all

three: GSM, CDMA and WAP enabled handsets. It has been developed in J2ME and

Brew to support the need of almost all subscribers. In future, the company plans

to make the UI more intuitive, include tickers in the application for displaying

major headlines and quotes across the application, and add feedback feature to

enable interactions form the end users.
