With a voice-activated speaker and integral camera, the MoCCA could be the essential tool for the on-the-go professional. With a flip of the wrist or the right command from the user, its desktop, handheld or holstered package can schedule a meeting, send voice or e-mail reminders to participants, videotape it, then download the minutes to a central system. Without buttons, keys or a pen, it relies on its lens and speaker for instructions.

" A conceptual product that celebrates the future by pushing all the boundaries of technology, materials and design language while anchored by an in-depth grasp of communication principles and values and an understanding of computer, telecom and interdependence. The concept is liberating in its simplicity, stimulating in its level of resolution and, I sincerely believe, a vision of the possible."
-- Peter Trussler, I/IDSA, Nortel Technology
