This excerpt from a BLSW release really caught my eye. I think it's worth buying on a fundamental basis, knowing that the share price may wander for a while. "Bluestone won each of the three levels of competition and ''overall best product'' in its category by demonstrating the power of wireless device access in its Total-e-Business product suite. Incorporating wireless devices from Symbol Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: SBL - news) and Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM - news), the eight-minute live, all wireless Total-e-Business demonstration illustrated the business advantage of real-time integration and data exchange with mobile device users and the feasibility of uniting devices with all corporate database, legacy and e-business applications based on J2EE platforms, including JavaServer Pages (JSPs), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). For the Total-e-Business demonstration, a Bluestone representative went into the conference audience and -- using the ruggedized Symbol SPT 1740 RF PalmPilot -- scanned the bar-coded name tag of a randomly selected attendee and entered the attendee's cell phone number. Using Bluestone's ConXML application software, the scanned data was converted to XML and uplinked via wireless protocols to a Symbol Spectrum24 Wireless LAN receiver connected to the Total-e-Business server. Total-e-Business software, including the Sapphire/Web® Application Server and XML Suite(TM) Integration Server, automatically personalized the data and displayed the attendee's name on a Web page. At the same time, the name was sent to a separate room (simulating an off-site manufacturing facility) where the name was custom printed onto a t-shirt. Simultaneously, the Total-e-Business software sent an email to an on-stage Qualcomm PDQ Smart Phone, which dialed the cell phone of the randomly selected conference attendee with notification of the customized t-shirt's completion. The demonstration illustrated the importance of wireless data capture and integration, personalization, distribution and utilization of data to a company's e-business strategy. With Total-e-Business, organizations can communicate between existing corporate systems, LANs, WANs and radio frequency (RF) protocols to leverage a myriad of devices and incorporate them into their e-business infrastructures. Added John H. Capobianco, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Bluestone, ''Winning at the Giga Emerging Technology Scene for the second year in a row illustrates Bluestone's commitment to delivering to our customers cutting-edge technology solutions that businesses need today. As the platform for e-business, Total-e-Business provides a fault-tolerant, high performance environment that allows businesses to enhance productivity, revenue generation and cost savings through the integration of wireless technologies to their e-business infrastructure.''
