That Star Trek device has always interested me. Too bad they chose WiFi 
over DECT, though.

System:
* Windows server
* Nuance ASR & biometrics & Dictaphone
* Dialogic T1/ISDN/Analog cards
* SIP interface
* iPhone app

I am also curious to hear some user reports, in particular about battery 
performance: Does it last one entire working day, or does it need to be 
exchanged (once?) per day? What is the smallest feasible installation? 
What speech protocol does the badge use to talk to the server?

"First quarter of 2010 was the third consecutive profitable quarter for 
the company. In addition, since the beginning of 2010, the company has 
announced the addition of 22 new employees across North America and the 
United Kingdom."
