personal computingis being redefined…
(From left to right) Aptiva: award-winning PC family delivers superior technology –
both for the under-$1,000 market and for those seeking the power and perform-
ance of a 450-megahertz processor and DVD multimedia. ThinkPad iSeries:
introduced in October, it quickly became our fastest-selling notebook ever.
CrossPad: jointly developed by IBM and Cross Pen Computing Group, it creates
a digital copy of handwritten notes. Screenphone: we’re working with companies
like Deutsche Telekom to build new computing and communications devices and
new ways to conduct networked transactions. WorkPad: it adds IBM technology
to the base 3Com product, enhancing PC-syncing and network functions.
Smart Card: applications range from secure user authentication to “e-cash” –
and we’re working on Java-based solutions. Wearable PC: in September, IBM
researchers in Japan prototyped a computer with the power of a ThinkPad 560
yet small enough to carry in your pocket; the main unit attaches to a headset with
a one-inch display and a hand-held controller with a “TrackPoint” and microphone.
