Netscape To Release New Browser, Desktop App

So Netscape’s not dead…it was only suspended, it turns out. The pioneering browser, after being written off by industry observers last year, is being released by parent AOL as early as next month.

The update appears part to be a broader effort by AOL to revitalize the Netscape brand it acquired in a $4.2 billion deal in 1998. AOL is also testing a new Netscape Desktop Navigator product and in January launched the Netscape Internet service, a low-cost ISP.

Check out the desktop app…a cool, flash-based tool, though I’m not sure if it will serve much purpose…
