Rochester, NY – EMA Design Automation and Ageus Solutions have joined forces to provide environmental compliance solutions from design through manufacturing.
“We’re adding the ability to supply the mechanical portion of RoHS/WEEE compliance,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA. “Aligning forces with Ageus allows us to expand our Engineering Data Management (EDM) solution to cover the entire manufactured product, which supports the entire RoHS/WEEE directive.”
EDM allows product development teams to record, manage and report the design and development data used in the creation of manufactured products.
Ageus provides RoHS/WEEE consulting, assessment and process of mechanical components and drawings. The company also has a comprehensive recycling network in Europe.

Cupertino, CA -- Is Apple going to break up its relationship with Motorola to introduce its own iPhone in late 2006? The long-rumored product once again made headlines last week as analysts speculated on an upcoming product introduction.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said there was a 75% chance that Apple would release an iPhone in the next 12 months. And over the weekend, JPMorgan analyst Johnny Chan told Barrons that Apple is working on "an iPod with phone functions."

Most speculate that Apple will end up using Hon Hai Precision, a Taiwanese contract electronics manufacturer, to help them make it. Hon Hai already has contracts for the Power Mac G5 line and the iPod nano. (Dell, Intel, HP, Sony, and Cisco Systems are also rumored to be current Hon Hai customers.)

NORWALK, CT -- The global market for self-service machines, nearly
$11.3 billion in 2005, will reach $24 billion by 2010, an average annual growth
rate of 17%. According to BCC Research, the global number of
machines in service will grow from 2.1 million last year to 2.8 million by 2010,
an AAGR of 6.1%.
Automated teller machines (ATMs) and vending machines will continue to be the driving force for this market; the history and technology is long-standing and well-tested, and consumers will continue to show their support. An offshoot of the ATM, the self-service kiosk provides information to users instead of currency. These kiosks will begin to take off through the forecast period as well, as more consumers worldwide recognize their versatility and cost efficiency, BCC said.
