Only Nokia has grasped the potential of “always-connected, anywhere, on-the-go connectivityâ€â€”and laid out the billions needed to sew up the technology. Only Nokia has moved beyond the device and made the phone a real service. A service that 900 million have already said they want, and 4 billion more in line behind them. In one conceptual move Nokia has changed the game. And that, my friend, is why Nokia is one of this century’s top GameChangers, given pride-of-place in my advisory, appropriately named GameChangers!

Weekly Shorts Review: Garmin, TomTom, Nintendo, Palm
The technology sector is seeing some major upheavals. Google (GOOG) has teamed up with Motorola (MOT) to create the Droid-Android phone – there is speculation that it could dislodge Nokia (NOK) from the top spot. Google also announced free GPS software - which the market took as a major negative for Garmin (GRMN) and TomTom (TMOAF.PK). Both share prices dropped sharply last week and their short bases have been rising steadily. <>Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) reported disappointing sales for the Wii, which hit the share price; Sony (SNE) also reported earnings but the market took them well. There is so...

|
|
We are upgrading Apple Inc. (AAPL) to Outperform from Neutral, as we believe Apple shares have further room for expansion. Apple has experienced tremendous growth, driven by the success of its iPhones and increased Mac shipments.

The investment case for Apple is based on its earnings momentum and accelerated revenue growth. The ...

Cramer on BloggingStocks: SAP isn't everything
MOT: RBC Upgrades in Joke-Filled Rant
|
|
|
In a note to clients this morning laden with forced references to the “Star Wars” franchise, RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Sue upgraded shares of Motorola (MOT) from “Market Perform” to “Outperform” with an $11 price target. Sue thinks Motorola could regain some of the past glory of a 12% operating profit margin for its mobile devices division, rather than the 21% low point it has recently flirted with, as it rebuilds its phone reputation using Google’s (GOOG) “Android.” And he tells it out in movie references that aren’t as edifying as they might be. <>Alluding to the f...
