Handheld Internet Will Be Huge - Really!

"There will be a microbrowser in every [wireless]
phone in the next five years," promised Unwired
Planet CEO Alain Rossman. He demonstrated
European smartphones such as the French
Alcatel, only 12 millimeters thick and boasting a
100-square-pixel display. By comparison, the
wildly popular PalmPilot's display is 160 pixels
square. In Europe, smartphones are so common
that carriers go so far as to target them at high
school kids, Rossman said.

The US smartphone market is much smaller, but
Unwired Planet recently ported its UP.Browser to
3Com's popular PalmPilot. The first PDA success
story will go wireless in Q1 1998 thanks to the
Minstrel, a 19.2 Kbps wireless IP modem that
clamps to the Pilot's back. There are more than 1
million PalmPilots in use.
