Jim, Interesting article, specially part of "A Web-enabled world" I think OGPS will have a good percentage of a market shares in near future. If I remember well they are ahead of competition. Could you elaborate/confirm. Edward news.cnet.com A Web-enabled world HP, like Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, and nearly every other computing company, foresees a world in which just about everything is connected to the Internet. At HP Labs, a prototype of this world called CoolTown has been built to test out the technology. In the CoolTown concept, every person, place, or thing is represented by a Web page that's constantly updated according to changing conditions. Combining those Web pages with a world in which infrared or radio transmitters can connect a person to the Internet would create a world in which the Internet and the physical merge--a world of "bits and morter," in the words of Jeff Morgan, a scientist with HP Labs' communications and Internet programs. Morgan gave the example of a person waiting at a bus station who is able to find out when the next bus will arrive through his hand-held computer. The interaction connects his tiny computer through an Internet connection at the bus stop to the bus company's Web site, which in turn retrieves bus location information from the buses themselves. To achieve this vision, HP has a project to Web-enable everything with a technology it calls "Hehaw," which stands for "Hey, everything has a Web page." HP's Chai technology--a clone of Sun's Java software--is an essential ingredient, said HP's Gene Becker. Chai and Java theoretically allow programs written once to run on a multitude of devices, regardless of the differences in underlying hardware. Also essential is Chai Server, software that allows devices to serve up their own Web pages. Though all the technological ingredients are in place, the concept is limited by the fact that it's simply not yet possible to get access to the Internet no matter where a person is, Becker said.
