PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Do you think it is easy for a traveler to connect to the Internet when away from home? "All he has to do is to bring his laptop with him". There are lots of problems with this. While most laptops do have built in transformers, the electric and telephone plugs abroad are frequently not to our standards. Connecting to your own domestic ISP or corporate server requires an expensive long-distance call back to the USA, or knowing a local Point of Presence, or how to roam on someone else’s system.

Another solution is to use others' equipment and connectivity. Many business hotels do have office services, but they are not consistent in their equipment, procedures or availability, and they are quite expensive. Internet cafes are usually cheaper but suffer from most of these problems and are often hard to find, buried in student neighborhoods.

odysseas will offer the traveler solutions through a complete choice of hardware, software, content and full implementational support . We will prepare all of these devices to have short-term contracts with local telcos or ISPs. Standalone handhelds such as Palm Pilots will be downloaded on your order with information for your destinations.

When a traveler is done with non-USA compatible equipment, we will buy it back, for resale to users in the country that it is configured for, so we should not have to carry a large aging inventory.

Our branding will help travelers to recognize our sales points wherever they are, from Sydney to Athens to Moscow to Tokyo, and of course on the Web. Some existing products that we would expect to offer as standard items are shown in the following pages (Exhibit I: A through F)
Palm Pilot and Handspring Visor handhelds

CitySync, (and our own proprietary content) city data

and it is entirely probable that more alternatives will be developed soon.
