Huawei to tout higher-end phones at Taste of Chicago
Huawei has been around for a quarter century, but it entered the U.S. market with a mobile device only in 2007. It has historically been known as a manufacturer of telecom network infrastructure. Locally, the company made headlines early last year when it sued Motorola Solutions Inc. over the Schaumburg company’s sale of its networks business to Nokia Siemens Networks. Huawei, which had developed network technology to resell under the Motorola brand, said the deal would transfer its trade secrets to a major rival. Motorola also had sued Huawei for alleged theft of trade secrets. The two companies agreed to settle all pending litigation in April 2011, allowing the transaction with Nokia Siemens to close.

However, the Psion brand remains best known for its mobile organisers, which developed from its role writing software for Sinclair ZX81 and ZX Spectrum home computers. These consumer devices are seen as the world’s first hand-held computers and prefigured later handheld devices from Palm Computing, RIM and Apple.

From CNN:
Kristian Hammond, Narrative Science’s chief technology officer, said his team started the program by taking baseball box scores and turning them into game summaries.
“We did college baseball,” Hammond recalled. “And we built out a system that would take box scores and historical information, and we would write a game recap after a game. And we really liked it.”
If this works I see a huge future for this in business reporting as well.

You can hardly make it out but I think the address of this place is 1550 Shore Road in Naperville. For a company in the telecommunications business I find it strange how they can’t put together a decent readable web site. They also serve up pdfs for invitations like those awful restaurant web site serving up menus as pdfs.
M5 Networks Acquires Geckotech to Expand Hosted VOIP Reach
Hosted VOIP provider M5 Networks announced on Nov. 3 that it has acquired Chicago-based Geckotech for $8 million.The combined companies will handle what company officials describe as the “exploding demand” for business-grade hosted VOIP services.
Dated Nov. 3, 2010
With the poor economic climate and companies slashing IT budgets, demand has grown for hosted VOIP services. Organizations, whether they are large enterprises, midsized or small businesses, looked at hosted telephony to cut costs without giving up critical communications applications.
Geckotech offered customers a Cisco-powered hosted VOIP platform as well as additional services, including phone service installation, system management and in-house customer support. The company offered free maintenance, and unlimited system and feature upgrades.
Geckotech was evaluating ways to overhaul its technology to obtain an enhanced phone experience and robust applications “without the use of licensing arrangements,” said M5 Networks. Geckotech did not specify its reasons for not wanting to license the technology.
Geckotech selected M5 Networks’ Call Conductor platform and rolled it out to some existing customers, M5 Networks said. With the acquisition, the remaining Geckotech customers will be “seamlessly” integrated to M5 Networks’ systems throughout the next year, said M5 Networks.
