Sony Tablet S series available in US and European markets

Sony Tablet S series available in US and European markets, Sony Tablet S series review, ; Sony's first tablet computer will hit the Japanese market on September 17 2011 as the company looks to take on Apple's popular iPad, the electronics giant said Thursday.



The Sony Tablet will be powered by Google's Android software, allowing users to download content such as books, movies and games.



The Sony Tablet "S" series with a 9.4-inch (23.8 centimetre) touchscreen display is expected to have a price tag of 45,000 yen ($580) for a 16-gigabyte data storage model and 53,000 yen for the 32-gigabyte version.



The product will also become available in US and European markets later this month, with a price tag of $499 and 479 euros for the 16-gigabyte model.



Competitors have rushed to cash in on soaring demand for tablets since the iPad was released in April last year, but Sony's devices will arrive well behind those of its rivals.



The devices will have access to Sony's cloud of online content such as movies, music, digital books, PlayStation games and other entertainment.



Sony has focused more on pushing its content such as games and music through hardware platforms including game consoles, smartphones and tablet computers.



It will release the dual-screened "P" series with a folding design, incorporating two 5.5-inch screens in Japan between October and November. The series will be launched in November in Europe and sometime later this year in the United States.



"Sony aims to grab the No. 1 share of the growing Android-based tablet market (in Japan) in fiscal 2012 (ending March 2013)," Kyodo News quoted Akihiro Matsubara, corporate vice president of Sony Marketing Inc, as saying.



Sony shares rose 1.98 percent to 1,698 yen in Tokyo trade on Thursday.

VZ stock prices outlook september 2011

VZ stock prices outlook september 2011 : The U.S. government on Wednesday sued to block AT&T Inc's $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile USA, citing concerns it will harm competition in the wireless market and lead to higher prices.



The surprise move, which was the biggest antitrust challenge yet by the Obama administration, caught the carriers by surprise and if successful would end AT&T's move to unseat Verizon Wireless as the No. 1 U.S. mobile carrier.



Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) fell nearly one half a percent. The volume of trading was up only 28 percent when compared to the average. Verizon has a market cap of $102 billion.

Hewlett-Packard stock prices august 19 2011

Hewlett-Packard stock prices august 19 2011 : Shares in Hewlett-Packard slumped by more than a fifth to a six-year low early on Friday, a day after the world's biggest PC maker signaled a major shake-up in its business and cut its annual forecast. The decline wiped some $14.5 billion off the company's market value.



Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) dropped 23% in intraday trading today after issuing disappointing guidance and revealing plans to "transform" the business.



Shares of HP fell to $22.76 in heavy early morning trading, making it the biggest loser on the New York Stock Exchange. The broader S&P 500 Index fell nearly 1 percent.



With a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 5.6, the company is trailing its peers, including Dell, Apple and IBM according to Starmine SmartEstimate.



Excluding losses on Thursday and Friday, HP's stock has lost nearly a fifth of its value since the world's largest PC maker reported second-quarter results on May 17.



On Thursday, the company said it may spin off its PC business and also cut its outlook and said it will buy British software company Autonomy Corp to boost its cloud business.



At least two brokerages downgraded the Palo Alto, California-based company's stock, and five analysts cut their price targets, mainly citing the uncertainty and expenses that will accompany the company's restructuring.



"HP is undergoing a sound strategy transformation by focusing on high-growth, high-margin opportunities in the enterprise/commercial markets," Gleacher and Co wrote in a note and cut its price target to $39 from $50.

Google buy Motorola Mobility Nokia to use Microsoft’s smartphone

Google buy Motorola Mobility Nokia to use Microsoft’s smartphone : Google has made its largest and boldest acquisition yet with the $12.5bn purchase of Motorola’s mobile-phone division, a deal the search company hopes will bolster its Android smartphone system.



The acquisition will put Google and Apple head-to-head in the battle for dominance in the fast-growing smartphone market, as the companies will control both the hardware and software of their products.



Google will pay $40 per share for Motorola Mobility, a 63 per cent premium to the company’s closing share price on Friday. In pre-market New York trading, Motorola shares were up 60 per cent at $38.96. Pending approval from shareholders and regulatory authorities in the US, Europe and elsewhere, the deal is expected to close by the end of 2011 or early 2012. Google’s press release...



Motorola Mobility was demerged from Motorola earlier this year after the handset maker was left behind in the touchscreen smartphone revolution ushered in by Apple’s iPhone in 2007.



The tie-up between Google and Motorola Mobility gives a fillip to technology mergers and acquisitions in what has been a subdued year. The strength of the market, until recently, for initial public offerings has garnered most attention in Silicon Valley so far in 2011, with dealmaking taking a back seat to high profile floats, such as Groupon and LinkedIn.



In results last month, Motorola Mobility said that strong sales of Android-based devices in Latin America and China boosted second-quarter revenues by 40 per cent but it swung to a $85m operating loss in the face of stronger competition from HTC and Samsung.



The handset business ran into severe difficulties about five years ago after missing the trend towards touchscreen smartphones, and the use of third generation wireless technology, which enables web surfing on mobiles.



The business ran up large losses, but the turnround plan led by Sanjay Jha, chief executive of Motorola Mobility since 2008, has made significant strides. The company reported an operating profit of $76m in 2010, compared with a loss of $1.2bn in 2009.



Google’s move on Motorola Mobility emphasises how the rash of spin-offs and separations seen in the past year will create pure-play targets for would-be buyers. However, those seeking to snap up the focused businesses created by separations must tread a fine balance in the US, where spins are popular because of their tax-free status.



Nokia decided to use Microsoft’s smartphone operating system, in an announcement made in February, after concluding Android-based handset makers faced commoditisation.
