John & thread - "Where's the Wireless Web?" in today's (Fri 30 Mar) Washington Post (Peter Goodman, staff writer) reports on a test of Wired Pocket's new software that, instead of web-clipping like PALM VIIs use, tries to pick the best parts of webpages for display. While the hardcopy of the newspaper has a nice color picture of Kyocera's smartphone mit PALM, alas the online version doesn't. Persons interviewed for the article - mostly potential users - don't think wireless web with handhelds is ready for prime time. Maybe if we had stretchable screens that could be carried in our pockets like those raincoats in travel magazines and then, by blowing them up like balloons, could be enlarged whenever we . . . washtech.com The WashPost's washtech site also has a longer feature (also Mr. Goodman) on the "Wired Economy- Telecommunications" which probably is of more interest to the SI:Nortel thread, but it does sort of mention how handhelds fit in the overall market. Regards, Harry J. I have no financial interest in the WashPost other than the money I pay to have it thrown at my house every day. I have noticed, however, that the online version often has longer, more, and different stories than the paper version has. Plus, it's easier to follow links to previous issues. Maybe someday the hard copies will be like and abbreviated USA Today and just give us a menu with teasers, so to speak, of what's online in full. Have a good weekend.
