Would it be far off to say that Casio had this general notion - content delivery for mobile devices - beat more than a year before Microsoft with MyCasio.com? It's defunct now, and never really got far, but Casio seemed to me to have been way ahead of the curve in terms of understanding the directions mobile devices would take.
The launch, as I saw it, was the Casio JK-710DC CF camera and the suite of Casio video software for Palm-size PC, then PPC and PC. 30fps video with decent sound, and compression levels 5 years ago which still prove competitive with the latest codecs. Slideshows controllable via an intuitive handheld device interface. Programs and other content delivered to users via a single simple online interface. Seems to me Casio was ahead of its time, and bowed out too early.
