From: www.newspage.com: AOL PLANS INTERNET ACCESS DEVICES Sun Java + email + Web, but whose chip? Amy J May 17, 1999 Exchange Telecommunications Newsletter via NewsEdge Corporation : America Online plans to release new Internet access devices that will not require users to own a PC. The devices include a screen phone with miniature keyboard and a dictionary-size device enabling users to access e-mail and the Web without a lengthy boot-up process, according to The Wall Street Journal. Alcatel is said to be a partner with AOL in production of the WebTouch screen phone, which runs on Sun's Java operating system. Sun is already an AOL partner.

Scumbria - Q4 is only 4.5 months away!!! Bracketed bold is my response: ===================================================================== Posted 17/05/99 11:37am by Mike Magee AMD to intro three K7s and it will be June A reliable source close to AMD's plans who attended the E3 show last week has confirmed that information we posted about the K7 chipsets is correct. [Read: Low volume due to lack of infrastructure] At the same time he said that AMD was bang on the button for a June release and would come out with 500MHz, 550MHz and 600MHz versions at launch date. [If it's anything like the K6III launch and ramp, Intel is in BIG TROUBLE!!! :-o] System vendors, however, will be the first to get their hands on the parts, as AMD continues to ramp up its production during the rest of the year. [Again read, LOW VOLUME] As reported here, AMD will use the Irongate chipset for the first few months, while the Taiwanese vendors develop solutions for motherboards. ViA and ALI are likely to be first off the mark, with chipsets available in the fourth quarter of 1999. ® [Scumbria, how come so long for the chipset infrastructure for a UP desktop part?] PB
