AllLinuxDevices: Gateway, AOL to launch Transmeta webpad

"Gateway and America Online (AOL) will unveil their long-awaited Transmeta-based webpad at an event in New York later today."

"The internet device will include a customised version of AOL's internet service that displays web pages, and runs email and personalised information. It is also expected to include home networking functionality from networking chip specialist Broadcom. However, the device, which will be aimed at the US consumer market, is not expected to be available in the UK."

"The system will feature specialised applications and databases that turn it from a general-purpose device to one that is tailored to its environment."
