Dear Friends,
We are pleased to
let you know that "Sellinam" - the Tamil name for our family of
Mobile software - was successfully launched on the 15th of Jan 2005,
under the banner of Oli96.8FM, Singapore's Tamil Radio.
Kavipperarasu
Vairamuthu had the first Tamil SMS message composed on a Sony
Ericsson Z1010 mobile phone which was sent to Mrs. Ramachandran,
wife of the owner of Ananda Bhavan restaurant, Oli98.8 and Dr. Re
Karthigesu who received the message in Penang, Malaysia. The
event was supported by Sony Ericsson.
The message (in Tamil Unicode):
நேற்று வரை மூன்று தமிழ்
இன்று முதல் நான்கு தமிழ்
இதோ கைத்தொலைபேசியில்
கணினித் தமிழ்!
Kavipperarasu also composed this for the youth:
அன்புள்ள காதலி
இனி தமிழில் காதலி
The event was carried live by Oli and appeared on TV news the next
day. Friends in Malaysia may want to see the story in Tamil
Nesan (17 January 2005) and Malaysia Nanban (18 January 2005).
Since the launch, our mailboxes are getting flooded with hundreds of
emails from enthusiastic users from all over the world who want to
immediately start sending Tamil SMS messages. We apologise for not
providing the details on time. The response from the local users
alone was overwhelming and all our resources are being deployed to
ensure that the delivery and use of "Sellinam" goes without a
glitch.
In the meantime, we are working on a "frequently asked questions"
list and will provide you with as much information as possible from
time to time. We ask for your patience and understanding.
Once again, thank you for all your support and we look forward to
delivering Sellinam to other parts of the world as soon as possible.
anbudan,
~ MUTHU
