Bob Brodersen has been the Principal Investigator of the InfoPad research project, with the goal of developing the hardware, software, and mobile network support that will allow ubiquitous, wireless access to real-time multimedia data from high-speed networks using an inexpensive, portable terminal. It in effect is a "network terminal," but with the additional feature of portability. This work was funded primarily by ARPA, with additional support from industrial partners, which included Intel, IBM, Ericsson, Motorola, National Semiconductor, and Texas Instruments.
