10 NYC Cabs Go Wireless with Palm VII

Yahoo! Inc. and Medallion Financial Corp. have placed Palm VIIs in 10 cabs in New York City. The taxis will be painted in Yahoo!'s yellow and purple colors and even the interiors are purple. The VIIs will be on strong cables and passengers can use them for free. They are loaded with PQAs to let passengers look up weather, sports reports, news and soon the latest stock prices. The cabs will hit the streets next week.

"The Internet used to be just for people at their desktops, then their laptops. But this program is really about getting the Internet where you need it most, on the road, on the go," Linda Bennett, brand manager for Yahoo!.
