Pegasos to target different markets : Comment 9 of 51ANN.lu
Posted by Raquel and Bill on 15-Aug-2002 13:33 GMT
Yes, the post on MorphOS-News is about a peripheral device, a smart card reader. It connects to the Pegasos and can add functionality to the applications that run on the machine.
If you are confused, email us. We are happy to answer your questions (hey, cOrpse we have done it before!). But, understand this: it does not change what the Pegasos is. As “mahen” said, we think it is a “little bonus” that can bring some good opportunity to this market.
BTW, inside your mobile telephone you have a SIM card. It is a “smart chip” too and works basically in the same way. We want to put this functionality in the eclipsis along with the smart card features we discussed on MorphOS-News. Have you seen Earthlink’s latest announcement in the USA? Check out http://earthlink.boingo.com/sales/elnkt0402
That is where the market is going…wireless Internet (and now up to 11 megabits per second). The Pegasos is a desktop computer and a development machine. The eclipsis (http://www.thendic-france.com/Tech/US/Products/Eclipsis/eclipsis.htm) is a miniaturized Pegasos. It can still be a small desktop machine for all you non-forward thinkers out there and that is OK. But, for those of you that can catch the idea come join us.
This is not a PDA we are discussing. It is a computer. Have you read about the latest low power PPCs from IBM? Smaller, better, faster…
We did not invent these ideas. The market is sending a clear signal. Do what people already do, just do it better, more conveniently, and anywhere. Was the mobile telephone any different? Have you seen the DoCoMo phones lately? Did you know the largest ISP in Japan was a wireless ISP? 3G is happening there.
So, you guys want to talk about the DataPlay now (www.dataplay.com)? We have licensed that technology for the Pegasos/eclipsis. All these "extras" will be introduced to our developers so they can start building/porting applications for the eclipsis now…
Of course, if you just want a computer that is OK too, but we are really looking for people who have the “spirit” to try something new and work with us to create a new market for these ideas.
Regards,
Raquel and Bill
