With the advent of WIFI Based PDA’s and video games – a new need arises. Effectively a lieelt home router with PDA suppport built in. It would be great to have a simple mail client, a calnedar tool, and an AIM client. Probably the easiest way to do this is to have this be a browser based tool that does all the hard work in the server and serves up extremely light markup.
Someone will build this into their home gateway like Link Sys and then build a set of phone/PDA units for about $100 apiece – effectively cheap blackberry’s that only work in the house.
This will actually solve the problem that WebTV has failed at so miserably for 10 years now. Instead of reading mail on the TV – you will read mail and do IM on the remote control!
