The company was founded in Russia. Alas, almost nothing is known about the developers. One of the well-known phone models of this company was the p745 model. The mobile devices of the company were distinguished by the fact that they had a QWERTY keyboard and Windows Mobile operating system.
The company also produces electronic readers, which are in demand. Of the shortcomings of these books, you can mainly select the screen. The small screen size is very inconvenient for many readers. The second key drawback was the display, or rather the active LCD matrix. Because of this factor, the energy consumption when reading is very high, and most importantly - constantly.
