(Nasdaq:LABT, news, msgs) announced today a relationship designed to offer Labtec's AM-242 unidirectional microphone, which utilizes its Noise Cancelling and Amplification Technology (NCAT(tm)), with MAX Internet's Video Communication Station(tm), or VCS, which enables true-motion, two-way synchronized video and audio over the Internet.
