IBM Corp has been promising a plethora of Network Computers of which the new Network Station is simply the first (CI No 2,993), and an IBM vice-president visiting the big personal computer trade show in Tokyo last week, Robert Stephenson, told United Press International about the portable one IBM has in the works. He described it as a portable telephone with a built-in personal computer capable of showing images and text from the Internet. Images of electronic mail messages and World Wide Web pages are projected optically onto a magnifying mirror built into the lower part of the phone. The device is also expected to include a 2.5 or 1.8 disk drive that will store 100Mb.
