NEW YORK (AP) -- 3Com Corp. is set to unveil on Monday the first
wireless version of its Palm Pilot hand-held computer.
The Palm VII will allow users to connect to the Internet using
BellSouth Corp.'s wireless data network, which covers most big U.S.
cities, The New York Times reported today.
The Palm VII reformats Web pages to fit the smaller screen using a
technology known as Web clipping. So far, ESPN.com, Moviefone.com,
United Parcel Service and ETrade Group Inc. have signed on to provide
content to the new Palm Pilots, according to The Times.
It will be available first in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and
people who buy it in those areas will be able to use it around the
country, according to the Santa Clara, Calif.-based 3Com.
The Palm VII costs $599, and 3Com initially plans to charge $9.99 a
month for a basic package of services.
