Elk, Here's their press release. My take on it its that it really isn't a serious "business app" device....seems to me kind of targeted at the WebTV market. If this is the best of show in the hardware category, makes me wonder what the judges were looking for. Good luck and timing, Lew CIDCO iPhone (TM) Countdown Begins InfoGear and CIDCO Unveil Series of Strategic Announcements to Support Web-based Telephone Launch Set for January Fall Internet World, New York, NY, December 8, 1997-- While other companies are dreaming of a "killer" Internet product,InfoGear Technology Corporation and CIDCO Incorporated have teamed up to deliver it with the CIDCO iPhone: the market's first Web-based telephone.
