New Motorola technology will feature voice commands to get internet data

Article Abstract:

Motorola Inc is introducing its Voice Markup Language (VoxML) for writing voice-activated software for retrieving content from the Internet. Motorola will probably submit VoxML to an Internet standards-setting institution, according to Internet services div mgr Maria Martinez. Motorola's internet site will be used to distribute a VoxML software development kit. Martinez also said that several unnamed companies are already planning to use Motorola's VoxML to develop software, and Motorola itself will use the language to improve its phones and pagers.

Motorola to buy Lucent Technologies' consumer wireless phone operations

Article Abstract:

Lucent Technologies Inc. will sell its consumer wireless phone operations to Motorola Inc. for what analysts estimate at between $100 million and $200 million. Lucent is giving up the handset part of the business but keeping the wireless infrastructure business. It is thought that the key acquisition for Motorola is the 300 engineers that make up the unit.
