Technology Brands and Products

Dell acquired Perot Systems in 2009 for approximately $3.9 billion to expand its IT services capabilities. This acquisition helped Dell compete with HP (which had acquired EDS) and IBM in the technology services space. Deloitte, IBM, and TCS were not involved in this acquisition.

Microsoft was developing the 'Courier' tablet concept, which would have competed with Apple's iPad. The Courier was a dual-screen tablet prototype that Microsoft ultimately cancelled.

Nokia developed a prototype solution to enable blind people to use SMS. This accessibility initiative used text-to-speech and other technologies to make messaging accessible to visually impaired users.
