GOOG Working on Mobile Phones
How about an embedded Picop in a MOT phone, coupled with GOOG specs? After all, for an advertiser, the Picop projector is a wet dream.
| GOOG Google pushes tailored phones to win lucrative ad market - WSJ (512.94 ) | |
| The Wall Street Journal reports Google (GOOG) is courting wireless operators to carry handsets customized to Google products, including its search engine, email and a new mobile Web browser, say people familiar with the plans. It wants to capture a big chunk of the market for ads on cellphones. Google has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the cellphone project, say people who have been briefed on it. It has developed prototype handsets, made overtures to operators such as T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, and talked over technical specifications with phone manufacturers. It hopes multiple manufacturers will make devices based on its specs and multiple carriers will offer them. The long-rumored Google phones are still in the planning stages, and wouldn't be available to consumers until next year at the earliest, say people familiar with the idea. Some details are likely to shift as the plans develop. A Google spokesman yesterday declined to comment on a Google phone project, but noted: "We are partnering with almost all of the carriers and manufacturers to get Google search and other Google applications onto their devices and networks." The specifications Google has laid out for devices suggest that manufacturers include cameras for photo and video, and built-in Wi-Fi to access the Web at locations such as airports, coffee shops and hotels. It also is recommending that the phones be designed to work on carriers' fastest networks, known as 3G, to ensure that Web pages can be downloaded quickly. Google suggests the phones could include GPS technology that identifies where people are. |

Briefing.com shows a coverage initiation for MVIS from Merriman Curhan Ford at a Buy-no price indicated.
A google phone? Yuck. the shits going to have a horrible interface.(most likely a bs story, see the obvious jab at the iphone at the end.)
you failed to mention Google's involvement in this......The FCC will require about one third of the new wireless spectrum being sold be made available to customers buying any cellphone or other wireless device they want. No longer will you have to use only the cell phones or products sold by your cellular carrier. One of the major forces behind this new system is Google. Now doesn't that open up some interesting possibilities.
Whats the bad news JJ? Maybe thats why its been going down & its priced in. What happened to your palladium super cycle & all that shit? THe whole thing is off?
jj-Check out thebulliondesk.com where Barclays states that palladium is at risk due to the new Renault-Nissan auto catalyst. If the economy implodes all metals are toast as you can see from the mining stocks the last week or so.
Merriman initiates Microvision (MVIS 4.80) with a Buy, as they believe the co’s near-term revenue will remain lumpy and run at unprofitable levels yet see a promising long-term outlook given opportunities to penetrate several large and expanding addressable markets, including handsets
JJ obviously doesn't use technical analysis. If he did, he wouldn't now just be getting out of a losing position. JJ, come to the dark side of the Day Trader.
jj-Tell it to Merriman. They are the ones that initiated the coverage this morning. I don't have the phone number but I am sure its listed with the phone company. Try the NYC listing.
Come to think of it, JJ must not use fundamental analysis either.
I believe he might be using a coin flip toss analysis and is just keeping it simple.

Anyone notice that the reeking, strontium 190-level radioactive POS, AHM is up, like, 100% in two days?
Fuktards.
Fuktards.
JJ, Why sell at the low? I see it basing at these levels for a period. They "scare you out or wear you out"
