Also from Wired (still Vapor, but they seem to like it) is a device might use Zip or clik!

"....Intel's Connected Car PC is designed to offer motorists the same
functions of a desktop, plus a few extras, including Internet
surfing, movies and video games for backseat passengers and a
wireless keyboard so that kids can do their homework on the
road.

Intel hopes to have systems available for installation in virtually
any vehicle by 1999. The chip-maker is in talks with major car
makers to have the computers included as an option in production
cars by 2000, said Richard Brogan, marketing manager for the
Connected-Car program.

''The idea is that you're keeping your passengers connected with
information systems,'' he said...."

Vapor!

There was not one thing wrong with that Wired article regarding Vapor!. In fact, it supported every single thing I've been saying regarding this little battery drainer. No company has committed to including Vapor! in its products, only letters of "support." NO signing on the dotted line. I'm pleased that they brought up the expensive aspects of this older technology, as well as the failure of no.hand.

Vapor! is DOA.

Mel, good job on the Wired rebuttal. Their whole act is to appear to be the hippest and most cynical PC pub. I picked up their mag once at a news stand, and after skimming for a few minutes, put it down. I don't know if they are the hippest, or even the most cynical, but they are definitely in the running for being the snottiest. What worries me more is that IOM's ad campaign and store displays seem geared to appeal to this "Wired" type of person.
