“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.”
