The return of accoustic-coupled modems!

Zippy the Pinhead writes "Guess what I saw at my local Future Shop for $100. Yes, the fine folks at JVC have introduced a nifty checkbook-sized thing called Pocketmail. Put simply, it's a 40 x 8-line terminal with an accoustic modem and 128k RAM to store e-mail. You dial in and hold it up to a phone and it checks mail on your account at pocketmail.com. Service is $10/month. In the fine tradition of accoustic-coupled modems, you apparently have to dial the number yourself, and in the fine tradition of nifty little devices, it does little else. I still want one. "
