The software can be downloaded from the website www.mobilewish.com. Dash already claims to have over 2,000 users - most of them from Europe and the US.
"It was a challenge to deliver interactive content with animation, sound, visual effects like in an e-card from a mobile to another handset," Dash told IANS.
People usually send and receive e-cards using a PC with an internet connection. E-greetings using the mobile phone have so far been sent through MMS (Multimedia Messaging) - but this does not allow for any customisation of the e-card.

Techie creates greeting software
August 24, 2007

Through this programme, greetings can reach one handset from another along with its interactive content, animation, sound, and visual effects, all intact. “E-greetings using mobile phones is an entirely a new concept,” said the young web-developer from Rourkela.
