HOT NEWS! "What do you get when you combine a former Oracle technology guru, a leading maker of consumer electronics and a vision for bringing Internet to the masses? You get IDEAS -- which is short for Interactive Digital Electronic Appliances, a platform for building television sets capable of surfing the Net. Diba Inc., started by former Oracle Vice President Farid Dibachi, and Zenith Electronics Corporation said Thursday they will produce a product line of interactive television sets called "NetVision". Using a trackball-equipped remote control, viewers will be able to surf the web and access email at the click of a button. The Net-ready sets will be priced between 400-600$ above the cost of a traditional television set. Equipped with 28.8 kbps modems, the NetVision line will also sport an ethernet port for cable modems, another product Zenith is developing. The two firms said their first products will be available later this year. Diba's Dibachi has said he believes his product will be much more marketable than the "network computer" being developed by his former colleagues at Oracle. I got this from the Interactive Age Daily.
