Home networking gives telecommuters all the comforts of the office - at home. Ambi creates a computer-like desktop on the TV that uses digital wireless technology to connect. Users can share peripherals, print or surf the Web - using just one PC and one Internet service provider account. It's all of these products rolled into one. The Web Video Phone has more features than Inspector Gadget.
Users also can videoconference with their bosses, send and receive e-mail or make a phone call.
This thing is fast. Now E-mail has become the lifeline of most businesses, but lugging around a laptop all the time can be more trouble than it's worth. Sharp's TelMail is an alternative. But rather than tapping your foot and thinking about what you need to do once you get to work, instead you can use a Web browser embedded on the pump to read news and weather reports, browse mini-mart specials and read about customer loyalty programs. Embedded software manufacturer Wind River and an undisclosed hardware manufacturer hope it will be more than just intriguing.
