Handheld Internet Will Be Huge - Really! "There will be a microbrowser in every [wireless] phone in the next five years," promised Unwired Planet CEO Alain Rossman. He demonstrated European smartphones such as the French Alcatel, only 12 millimeters thick and boasting a 100-square-pixel display. By comparison, the wildly popular PalmPilot's display is 160 pixels square. In Europe, smartphones are so common that carriers go so far as to target them at high school kids, Rossman said. The US smartphone market is much smaller, but Unwired Planet recently ported its UP.Browser to 3Com's popular PalmPilot. The first PDA success story will go wireless in Q1 1998 thanks to the Minstrel, a 19.2 Kbps wireless IP modem that clamps to the Pilot's back. There are more than 1 million PalmPilots in use. wired.com Derek
