I am wondering if it makes sense to invest in China Unicom ADR (CHU). Right now, China Mobile has the largest customer base with its GSM network that will be upgraded to their version of 3G called TD-SCDMA. This standard is used in China only and …

The economies of scale have shown that the current biz model works the best. Especially after Apple has decided against CDMA. One design with different memory, but uniform radio. Resulting gross margins are close to 60%. They could still sell th…

He is looking good for somebody who underwent a liver transplant and getting all the immune suppressant drugs. The whole metabolism is affected and hopefully he is under the care of an endocrinologist and dietician... getting the right supplements.…

I have to agree that the 10" diagonal is the minimum need for book reading, and educational purposes. The challenge will be in the ergonomics in holding the device. However, with rubbery shell - even aftermarket - it may be feasible to hold with on…

The current IPod Touch has approximately an external diagonal of 5" (2.5"x4.5")and a screen diagonal of 3.5 inches. If the device size got tripled 10" the device would measure something like 7.5"x13.5". It could be 9x heavier. Too big to carry in…

It is quite possible the "iTablet" may indeed revolutionize mobile computing. Something with 2x the screen size, faster multicore processing with video processors, higher battery life can be a big success. Personally, I would prefer BYO data plan …

China like India has always been a difficult place to make money for Western companies. They haggle to death and them may not honor the terms. Unicom will also be pushing the Google phones and anything else they can peddle. Knock-offs may take of…

http://www.clearwire.com/ According to this website, Clearwire is starting to offer WiMax broadband at $30/month. It would make sense for Apple to inject some money in this carrier to accelerate deployment to major population centers. The pricin…

I have received reports from friends, some in the telecom business, who say that extended WiFi and even WiMax, has been deployed in some poor Asian and Latin and African countries. The monthly rate that has been quoted to me is $10-12/mo. I do not…
