A Royal Flush For The Samsung Galaxy S? Tweet

In the U.S., the choicest smart phones usually get tied up for months in exclusive carrier deals as operators seek to lure new subscribers to their services. As a high-profile, new, feature-packed handset, Samsung's Galaxy S seemed a likely candidate for an operator exclusive. But at least one well-placed analyst believes the phone will come to all four of the largest U.S. carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile USA, Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless) this year.

In an Apr. 13 research note, Broadpoint.AmTech analyst Mark McKechnie said he expects the Galaxy S to be sold at AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint before the end of June and to be picked up at Verizon "sometime later in the year". In an interview, McKechnie said he based the prediction on "industry checks" that include, but are not limited to, conversations with employees at operator stores. A Samsung spokeswoman declined to comment on carrier availability for the Galaxy S.

Such a strategy would be a break with the tightly controlled way other high-end smart phones go on sale. Consider the HTC "Droid Incredible," a much-anticipated phone that will debut later this month on Verizon or the HTC EVO, which will be available only on Sprint when it launches, likely in June. Other examples include the Palm Pre, which was limited to Sprint for the first seven months of its availability, the iPhone, which remains tied to AT&T nearly three years after its introduction, and the Motorola Droid and BlackBerry Storm 2, which are unique to Verizon in the U.S.

McKechnie says the Galaxy S' broad distribution could mean no one operator was enthralled enough by the handset to lock it up as an exclusive. "It's a pretty impressive Android-based phone with a great display, but Samsung doesn't have the same brand strength as Apple or even Motorola," he says. Alternately, it could signal that several carriers were interested and Samsung accelerated its usual go-to-market strategy to deliver the phone to as many partners as possible.

Both approaches carry risks. While exclusives are usually synonymous with a large operator investment in marketing and subsidizing a particular phone, they can crimp sales by tying a device's fortunes to those of a particular carrier. Palm chief executive Jon Rubinstein has said the company's exclusive deal with Sprint for the Pre hindered the phone's later sales at Verizon.

Samsung has a lot riding on the Galaxy S. Though the company ranks as the No. 2 global supplier of cellphones overall, it lags Nokia, Research In Motion, Apple and HTC in smart phone sales. Samsung has said it aims to triple its smart phone shipments this year.

Early results look promising. McKechnie believes Samsung gained market share and boosted the average selling price of its phones in the first quarter of 2010. During the same period, phone sales from LG Electronics and Sony Ericsson probably declined while industry leader Nokia likely held steady or gained slightly, says McKechnie.

In the cell phone category, consumer preferences were based on wireless phone design and performance.

“The findings by both Strategy Analytics and Brand Keys establish Samsung as the mobile phone industry’s unmatched leader in two distinct yet, complementary categories,” said Dale Sohn, President of Samsung Telecommunications America. “The combination of brand loyalty and market share leadership are two excellent proof points that Samsung is surpassing our customer’s expectations as a quality brand and building strong advocates for our mobile phones. Our ability to meet many different consumer needs at various price points signals the likelihood that Samsung will build on this success for many more years to come.”

Brand Keys is the only research consultancy in the world that specializes in customer loyalty, providing brand-equity measures that accurately predict future consumer behavior. Findings from the index rank brands based on those that consumers felt best met or exceeded their expectations and were most likely to demonstrate the highest levels of consumer loyalty and profitability over the coming two years.

“The wireless category has shifted so dramatically over the past year that it is a tribute to the Samsung brand to be able to incorporate real consumer values as well as technology into their offerings,” said Robert Passikoff, Brand Keys founder and president. “They have been better able to meet the very high expectations of more demanding consumers and this is reflected in the very high ratings they have received in the Brand Keys Customer Loyalty Engagement Index for 2010.”

T-Mobile myTouch Slide hands-on confirms details Tweet

T-Mobile myTouch Slide officially named, hands-on.

A source who received a myTouch Slide handset ahead of its official schedule has confirmed its specs recently. The HTC-made phone will be offered exclusively at T-Mobile and is now reported to officially carry the myTouch 3G Slide name. While a launch date hasn't been confirmed, it is expected the device will launch in May.

Software was still in beta mode, but the hardware of the devices is final, the source noted. While no spec sheets were distributed with the devices, the source says the touchscreen is comparable to that of an iPhone 3GS in size, at about 3.5 inches but couldn't tell whether it was AMOLED. The camera is a 5-megapixel unit and has LED flash and autofocus.

The processor, meanwhile, is a 600MHz ARM11 unit, while RAM is set at 512MB. There is the same amount of storage space onboard, and the device is expected to be bundled with an 8GB microSDHC memory card. Android 2.1 is preloaded overlaid with HTC's new Sense UI, which includes the Leap feature that lets users view all of their home screens at once. Between five and seven home screens can be selected individually. The browser, gallery and maps apps all support multi-touch inputs. Live wallpapers are not supported due to the relatively slow ARM CPU.

Preloaded apps include AppPack, My Account, myTouch Music which is being compared to Pandora, Quick Office and Abduction, among other names. Swype is the default virtual keyboard but can be switched to the HTC keyboard or a new Dragon Dictionary. The battery is confirmed to be a 1,300mAh unit.

Android Tries Harder Tweet

Remember the old Avis car-rental slogan? “We’re Number 2. We try harder.”

That slogan came to mind when a reader, an iPhone app developer, wrote to let me know how hard Google, maker of Android, the No. 2 app phone software, is trying to woo iPhone programmers to write their apps for Android phones instead.

“I’m the developer of the Texts From Last Night app for the iPhone. Anyway, I received an e-mail yesterday from someone at Google claiming to be in their Android Advocacy Group. He basically said that he wanted to open a line of communication with me in case I chose to port the app to Android, and he offered to ship me a free Nexus One to play around with.

“It shows that Google is actively recruiting developers to their platform, using the enticements of free hardware and open communication.

“Contrast with Apple’s approach: it took us about three months of resubmitting our app to Apple before they stopped rejecting it for inappropriate content. And even now (after we peaked at the No. 7 paid app), we still have no relationship with anyone there. Huge difference in approaches between the two companies.”

Apple’s iPhone app store certainly isn’t understocked; it’s got 185,000 programs to choose from. But without a doubt, Google’s Android software catalog is growing much faster—from 6,000 to 25,000 apps since the beginning of the year. Free phones, and aggressive courting of talented app makers, surely has something to do with it.

Real GSM Palm Pre SIM unlock goes live Tweet

We've been waiting for this since the first GSM Palm Pre phones hit the market and the day is here: A true SIM unlock solution for the Palm Pre developed by jictechnology in our forums and sold by nextgenserver is now available. They have various pricing plans, but the default will run you £ 25.00 for a single unlock code. We spoke to the developers behind the unlock and they say that there are a couple of bugs to work out with the process, but that this is a 'permanent unlock' that should persist after webOS software updates - good news for those struggling with the post 1.4 issues the Rebel SIM solution has been facing. Check out this thread for the giddiness and joy the unlock seems to have unleashed.

Those who are super-antsy to get the Pre Plus in the US on AT&T will probably still want to wait as we're hoping that the launch is coming soon (not to mention you'll get the Plus version). Developers, however, should be downright giddy - it might make more sense for many of them to test on the lower-end regular Pre anyhow. Combine a 20%-off, non-contracted developer phone from Palm (go with the Telcel version from Mexico for AT&T 3G compatibility), the latest version of WebOS Meta Doctor for bypassing the first-run activation process, and this unlock and it seems to us you have a free, clear, and proper dev phone.

You'll need a Windows XP or Vista machine to get it done and note that it's worth a scan through the unlock forum thread starting at this post to check out some of the potential install issues.

NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Hewlett-Packard, Dell, EMC, VMware and Nokia Tweet

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), Dell (Nasdaq: DELL), EMC (NYSE: EMC), VMware (NYSE: VMW) and Nokia ( NOK).

Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. After logging a very successful 2009, McWilliams is now intently focused on the catalysts generating profits in 2010. So far this year, his Next Inning model portfolio is up 19% versus 10% for the Nasdaq. Two of the stocks held in the portfolio are up 61% and 59% year to date. Trial subscribers will have full access to this portfolio as well as email alerts with early notice of what McWilliams sees as the next big winner.

Trial subscribers will receive McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth sector by sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and McWilliams' specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided during the upcoming earnings season. These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary, are available for free to trial subscribers.

In addition, a Next Inning trial subscription also offers access to a new special report on stocks that are likely to benefit most from the boom in demand for mobile bandwidth worldwide driven by Apple's iPhone and other smartphones. Finally, subscribers will have access to McWilliams' daily commentary and actionable alerts that have been providing frequent profit opportunities for Next Inning subscribers for years. To take advantage of this offer and receive these reports for free, please visit the following link:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn1003

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- The price of Dell is up 44% since McWilliams listed it as a good speculative buy in his report, "Undervalued Tech Stocks for 2009." What factors point to potential upsides for Dell in its core desktop PC markets? What is McWilliams' fair value range for Dell and would he consider adding shares at current prices?

-- The price of Hewlett-Packard has more than doubled since McWilliams advised Next Inning readers that CEO Mark Hurd would turn the company around. Has Wall Street finally acknowledged the emergence of Hewlett-Packard as a viable "ecosystem" company to rival IBM? Based on a valuation analysis, is there still room for more upside in Hewlett-Packard shares?

-- The price of EMC has moved up 80% since it was listed as a good strategic investment in McWilliams' report "Undervalued Tech Stocks for 2009." Are EMC and VMware best positioned to benefit from the virtualization trend? Why might VMware investors be better off gaining exposure to VMware via an investment in EMC? In his special State of Tech report, McWilliams breaks down EMC's valuation by deconstructing and reconstructing its 84% ownership of VMware. Do these two methods of analyzing EMC's value suggest we should be seeing higher prices soon? What other virtualization company does McWilliams think makes sense to pair with EMC?

-- Should investors be excited about Nokia's recently unveiled GPS strategy? Can Nokia re-emerge to compete with smartphone leader Apple? What is McWilliams' fair value range for Nokia and would he consider adding shares at current prices?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 294% since its inception versus 32% for the S&P 500.

E2open Recognizes Record Revenue and 30 Percent Growth in FY2010 Tweet

Rise in Demand and Supply Network Complexity Drives the Need for Improved Visibility and Collaboration.

FOSTER CITY, Calif. -- E2open, the leading provider of on-demand solutions for demand-supply networks, announced that it has achieved record growth for the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2010. E2open's backlog in fiscal year 2010 grew by 30 percent and revenue grew 20 percent over fiscal year 2009, and the company ended the year profitable and cash flow positive.

The continuing rise in complexity of demand and supply networks – including outsourced manufacturing, global sourcing and multi-channel distribution – has created a lack of visibility and control that negatively impacts revenue attainment, customer service, operating costs, inventory levels and cycle times.

"Companies across most industries have now realized that better visibility and collaboration between trading partners is necessary to sense and respond to true customer demand and available capacity," said Mark Woodward, President and CEO, E2open. "As such, even in a tough economic environment, businesses increased their investments last year in solutions that improve operating costs, inventory management, and supply and demand balancing because of the direct positive impact on profitability. Many of them chose E2open based on the fast time-to-value of our SaaS delivery model, as well as our proven expertise and results generated for some of the world's leading companies."

E2open has experienced growing demand for its solutions across both B2B managed services and multi-enterprise business process management applications. Existing clients such as Celestica, Cisco, Dell, IBM, Motorola, and Vodafone continued to expand their investments in E2open and standardize on E2open across their organizations to manage both demand and supply-related activities. In addition, many companies including, Levi Straus & Company, Lenovo, and SPX Corporation began to use E2open.

Increased customer interest is a result of E2open's focus on product innovation that directly addresses the biggest challenges currently facing its customers and the broader industry in this space. With that in mind, E2open achieved the following in the last fiscal year:

* In July 2009, the company launched E2open 7.0, providing the first and only single platform that supports multiple tiers across both supply and demand networks. With E2open 7.0, customers can gain visibility and collaboration across buy-side and sell-side inter-company business processes with one solution. Customers can now have a truly standardized multi-enterprise platform for all external requirements that complements their existing investments in internal applications such as ERP and PLM.
* In November 2009, Oracle and E2open announced that E2open Logistics Network (ELN) is now available as the connectivity solution for Oracle® Transportation Management to simplify the effort of establishing electronic integration between shippers, transportation carriers and logistics service providers. Offering a business process-centric approach combined with a SaaS-based delivery of integration capabilities, ELN reduces the time and cost necessary to achieve the benefits of automating logistics-related processes.
* E2open was positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of Gartner's 2009 Magic Quadrant for Integration Service Providers.(1) E2open is raising the bar with prepackaged integration and E2open customers benefit from rapid, error-free and cost effective demand-supply network integration through seamless connectivity.
* E2open is helping global supply chains progress toward achieving "ECO-Operations," by obtaining optimal visibility, collaboration and, as a result, sustainability throughout supply and demand chain networks. E2open and Business Performance Management (BPM) teamed together last year to deliver primary research highlighting the challenges and recommendations to help companies drive environmental impact reductions throughout the global value chain.
