Anyone know any more about this?

This seems to be connected with the ManyOne project, which appears to be the combination of some sort of ISP services, a multimedia reference site to come, and a Web browser that is adapted from Mozilla. The browser is downloadable from their site now, but in a brief trial of it I didn't observe any obvious features setting it apart from the Mozilla suite it's adapted from. Its web site is hype- laden, reminiscent of the dot-com insanity of around 2000, with more enthusiasm than solid facts. Supposedly, their site will be more multimedia-enhanced than other reference sites, and their browser will be ideal for viewing it (somehow), but as of now there doesn't seem to be anything but promotional videos.
