Users who visit www.FREE-Internet-device.com can complete a survey and assist in the design of the Internet navigation device. The Internet navigation device features buttons that can instantly transport users to pre-programmed shopping sites or portals. Users can start at these sites, browse the rest of the Web, and then return to the sponsor's site with a single click when they are ready to buy. This will result in increased Web traffic and higher revenues for members of the Internet device consortium. The patented (U.S. Patent No. 5,854,624, other patents pending) devices offer all the marketing benefits of giving away a Free PC, at a fraction of the cost. Because of this low cost, the devices make Internet and other promotional programs much simpler, less expensive, and more appealing to customers. Sponsor companies can actually give the devices away free to all who are interested without having to attach contracts or long-term payment schedules to try and recoup costs. Perhaps the biggest advantage over Free PC programs is the targeting of a much larger market: current computer owners. Innovative Device Technologies is seeking Internet companies to join the Internet device consortium and help create www.Main-Click.com, a shared Internet portal site Noun 1. portal site - a site that the owner positions as an entrance to other sites on the internet; "a portal typically has search engines and free email and chat rooms etc. with a portfolio of Doorway pages A Web page that is designed to appeal to search engine spiders that continually comb the Web looking for pages to index.
