...Omron Corp. knows all about versatility. A few years ago it pioneered the DCS (Digital Camera Station), which lets users make prints of photos taken with their digital camera. It also lets them upload images onto the Internet, freeing up digital camera memory for more picture taking. Customers can download the images onto their PCs when they get home. Last month, Omron upgraded the machines, allowing customers to download music from a satellite transmission system. These features cost about the same as a couple of soft drinks. Omron spokesman Osamu Harasawa envisions a DCS terminal that can electronically dispense movies...
...Isle of Man is a quirky sort of place with its tailless cats and Celtic traditions coexisting amiably with its sophisticated financial life and cutting-edge technology. Next month the island will launch Europe's first third-generation mobile phone network, allowing users to surf the Internet and download video clips while on the move.

Download tiny digital photos of your pals, and when they call, the SCP-5000 will show you their smiling faces. It also surfs the Web, stores 500 phone numbers and 300 e-mail addresses, and plays an incomprehensible game called Crab Catcher...
...company they created, MusicNet, is set to become an online clearinghouse (read: tollbooth) for any website that wants to license recordings for you to download. Of course, AOL and Real.com are first in line. Real owns 40% of MusicNet; the three labels own 20% each. (AOL, Warner Music and TIME are divisions of AOL Time Warner.) But the deal is so unavoidably big, even Napster is thinking about signing...
