Motorola previews cellphone Net services

NEWS Digital mobile phone users will be able to browse the Internet from their handsets within the year, according to Motorola. The company announced a range of mobile products at the CeBit conference in Germany; the first of which will be available at the end of this year, with the rest to follow in 2000. Frank Lloyd, Motorola EMEA's president of personal communications, said he believes consumers are demanding Internet facilities for their mobile phones and that the new product range will help regain market share. "Our aim is to give consumers not just a solution to their communications needs, but sheer delight at being able to take their world with them wherever they go," he said.
