Posted by Paul Martin in "NEWS" @ 08:05 PM
"Monday at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2007, Microsoft Corp. and nine industry-leading companies — ASUSTek Computer Inc., GN, LG-Nortel Co. Ltd., NEC Corp., Plantronics Inc., Polycom Inc., SAMSUNG, Tatung Co. and ViTELiX — will introduce a new generation of devices that connect the workplace phone to e-mail, instant messaging, real-time presence information, conferencing, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and mobile communications. Beginning tomorrow, a new wave of phones and devices will become available for use in the public beta program of Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communicator 2007."
Included in the unveiling were "Internet protocol (IP) phones, Universal Serial Bus (USB) phones, wired and wireless headsets, conferencing phones, LCD monitors and laptops." I really like the looks of the Microsoft Roundtable, pictured above. You can see it at work in the picture below:
