Wired: Net Access by Nordstrom [iBrow Thin Client]

“Among the first new gizmos introduced at Comdex Fall ’99 was
the iBrow by Boundless Technologies, a notebook-sized Net
access device
that may sport a Coke, Gap, Nordstrom, or Wells
Fargo logo. For a flat fee, the branded devices would offer
email and Internet access with an individual flair.

‘Loyal customers could get personalized deals that change
daily,’ said Mark O’Brien, vice president of marketing at
Boundless. ‘Instead of spamming you with email, companies can
change your home page to reflect what you’re interested
in.’ “

“O’Brien said one company has placed an order to resell more
than 10,000 units which could reach the retail market by the end of
the year.”

[ Information on the Boundless Technologies website
indicates that these products are Windows-based. – LT ed. ]
