hhieslmair, Re (from the link) When Acer Inc. was scouting out channels for a Web box it was building, the Taiwan computer maker turned to National Semiconductor Corp. for help. National, which had supplied a reference design based on its Geode embedded processor, acquainted Acer with Internet Appliance Network, a Web-brand marketing service in need of a hardware platform to link with its customer, Virgin.net. The tie-up resulted in a tethered WebPad that provides Internetservice and information tailored to consumers in the United Kingdom.. I was under the impression that only Virgin's USA customers could get webpads. I am of course looking forward to obtaining one myself. virginconnectme.com (see note.. US residents only) regards, Pearly.
