Hi there, yesterday I came across the "Vocera Communication Badge" and now I'd like to know if anyone here has played with that thing (or even just seen it in real life), and if a price tag can be found for this device?

I seem to remember something a while back regarding VoiceXML and the TellMe folks. Maybe there is something that is open sourced regarding speach recognition on the server side. An open sourced hardware, as recently discussed, should be able to be packaged so that it could also be a wearable device even if part is on the belt and the speech I/O as separate. Will check with come contacts and see if anyone was involved in the U.S.S. Coronado tests. Robert

Maybe there is something that is open > sourced regarding speach recognition on the server side.Now I also found an interesting review comparing client solutions for VoIP throug WLAN (let's add a "wireless" keyword for the search engines): http://www.kinetowireless.com/news/industry_articles/vowlan_takeoff.html This includes a secion on the Vocera. The concept as such surely deserves some aaahs and oooohs... :-) Philipp
