AOL to Unveil online devices that shake the need for PCs ...similar to the HP strategy. Hopefully EMBASSY-enabled...note the reference to e-commerce. NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- America Online Inc. plans to unveil its first wave of Internet-friendly devices that don't require personal computers. According to The Wall Street Journal, AOL (AOL: news, msgs) is expected to introduce a variety of gadgets, including a screen phone, in the next several weeks. The company's aim is to make AOL a pervasive presence in consumers' lives, cementing customer loyalty and increasing revenue opportunities for advertising and electronic commerce. The gadgets would offer AOL members quick access to electronic mail and Web pages via a sleek, streamlined device about the size of a dictionary. Screen phones look much like a standard desk telephone, but include a screen and a small keyboard. Alcatel SA (ALA: news, msgs), the French telecommunications group, is seen as a likely partner in the screen-phone effort. The Wall Street Journal
