Jim, you gotta love their 10kb speed limit on wireless modems or am I being too optimistic? 1 July 1999 ORANGE UNVEILS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE FOR THE MILLENNIUM Orange Introduces Pioneering Combined PDA and Videophone ... Bob Fuller, chief operating officer of Orange, explained: "The world-wide increase in the use of relatively new technologies like digital TV and the internet, show how we are becoming more and more reliant on graphic-based information. The Orange Videophone is the first step in bringing state of the art wirefree multimedia services to the consumer, simply, easily and cost effectively." The new handset is made possible as a result of a unique technology, the SCT (Strathclyde Compression Transform) protocol, which has been developed by the University of Strathclyde in an exclusive collaboration with Orange. This, combined with the proprietary "H.Orange" protocol, will enable Orange to offer unrivalled video compression, allowing high-quality full-colour moving images to be sent over the Orange wirefree network at data rates with speeds from 28.8kb/s up to 64 kb/s - up to six times current data speeds, and matching those offered by the majority of fixed-line modems. The device will feature a 10cm (diagonal) full-colour screen and weigh approximately 350g. Pricing for the device and associated video-based services will be announced later this year. John
