Thanx for the news on Erikson & ATT. I've also yet
to see the new HP 120 organizer on the street; I look
forward to buying one soon. Mentioned WINK in my last
post so I guess I'll share what I can. I hope the info
is accurate.
Brian Dougherty is the Chairman of Geowrxs & the
President of Wink, a GEOS subsidery. The 'Wink Engine'is
an Interactive Communicating Applications
Protocal,(ICAP),128k,which is scalable to both analog &
digital transmission. "Wink tech.is to the TV platform
what Jave or Netscape is to the PC.",says Mr. Dougherty.
IDS, Interactive Digital Solutions, a media
software co. founded by Silicon Graphics, AT&T, &
Time Warner use the 'Wink Engine'to offer interactive TV
thru General Instruments & Scientific Atlanta set top
boxes.
I believe most of the major Japanese mfgs.of TV's
are currently releasing new HDTV models in Japan that
feature 'Wink Engine' interactivity. This is what I've
heard,& if anybody can 'update', thank you in advance.
I agree that 'smart phones' will be big, but in
researching such a dynamic field there seems to be an
unusually large amt. of variables & unknowns, many new,
exciting, yet very small entities, seem to be innovating
& providing component technologies which blur the lines
of the existing paradigm of computing, entertainment,
business, telephony, what pieces & or components will
GWRX provide? Don't both MSFT & NOVL have products, or
announced products, to support what is currently a
fledgling portion of the communications industry? How
does the GWRX op.sys.compare to products offered by such
companies as Microtec? How, or is GWRX, used in such
fledgling start ups as IREADY, or Diba? Are they
competition or customers? Lotz of Q's!
