3Com Working on New Device

from the well-at-least-they're-working-on-something dept

While 3Com made some announcements last week concerning spinning off more of their business, a lot of people have been left wondering what exactly 3Com will be doing from here on. Apparently they're working on some new internet appliance that they claim will be bigger than Palm, since they've learned plenty of lessons from Palm. Of course, they weren't the ones who created the Palm in the first place, and those folks have gone on to some other company.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    "appliance"

    Well....I *do* like 3Com, and I like the internet....after 12 hours a day...think it would get boring....but nah. Anywho. I do not like the idea of 'appliance'. My toaster can get TV, my stove can get recipies. Lets work on 'startrek' innovations. Think VOICE, that is where it is at. Mr.White strolls into his kitchen and says "Computer, recipie for TopRamen and cheese" ....the computer then would go step/by/step and tell me how to build the bacholer dinner. Scratch monitors, LCD, and the like....voice. If not voice.....holography. :)
