AOL weighs online service for Netscape America Online may launch a Netscape-branded online service by adding Net connections to the Navigator browser in a bid to turn up the heat on other ISPs, according to an analyst who attended AOL's meeting with Wall Street today. AOL executives also discussed a product called "AOL Plus," which is an enhanced version of AOL for broadband, wrote James Preissler, who follows AOL for PaineWebber. Preissler emailed a research note from the meeting, labeled "key points," to clients. AOL spokespeople could not immediately be reached for comment on the note, a copy of which was obtained by CNET News.com. AOL Plus "auto-detects access speed and automatically adds broadband services," Preissler wrote. He added that new versions of AOL software will include a "multimedia console," a feature similar to AOL's Buddy List window, which will allow users to download high-bandwidth media applications. The company plans to release AOL 5.0 in September, he said. news.com
