Sneak Peek: Audrey Palm-based Internet Appliance

3COM "accidentally " posted details of its much anticipated PalmOS-based Internet kitchen appliance just long enough for geeks like us to take the bait and spread it across the web like wildfire.

According to the leak, the under cabinet mount appliance will feature an 8-inch color touch screen, a built-in 56Kbps modem and offer your choice of Internet provider, as opposed to a pre-selected service. However, it's a safe bet that AOL will not be included on the device because of the Gateway AOL devices due later this month, and because it's AOL.

Audrey is expected to sell for $500. More news to follow. www.3com.com
