“After six months of talking the e-speak talk,
Hewlett-Packard will finally walk the e-speak walk next month,
delivering the source code for the technology, which company
officials hope will be at the heart of future business-to-business
transactions. “
“In what could be seen as the first attempt to generate the
critical mass of support that company officials admit is necessary
for the technology to succeed, HP handed out the e-speak beta code
for the first time Tuesday at its E-services Developer’s Conference
in San Jose, Calif. The next step will be to make the code
available to all developers, which the company will do Dec. 8 via a
free download at www.e-speak.net.”
