Abstract
Disclosed is a system for delivering information, such as a portfolio, on demand and over a wireless network. The system comprises an autonomous portfolio delivery device and a mobile device. The portfolio delivery device has a memory device encoded with portfolio information and embedded software for transmitting the portfolio to the mobile device in response to a request from the mobile device. The mobile device, which may be a laptop or PDA, has special-purpose software for identifying the delivery device when in wireless range.
