Samsung Plans Armani Phone

Posted By FMAddicted Friday, July 27, 2007 0 comments

Luxury Brand Players and Mobile Phone player continue to cooperate to bring new freshes to mobile phone world. After the deals between LG and Prada, Motorola and Dolce&Gabbana ; Samsung Electronics is also in discussions with luxury brand Giorgio Armani on jointly producing electronics items.

Sources close to the deal say Samsung and Armani have been in talks since early this year, with the process in the final stages of discussion. The Italian designer will not only provide the designs but will also actively participate in the development of new products.

"We are now in talks with Armani to work together in making premium goods such as mobile phones and televisions," a Samsung spokesperson said, declining to comment further.

In the past Samsung has created phones for luxury electronics maker, Bang and Olufsen (Serene Phone)

Samsung Electronics announced that it has developed a 4 gigabyte(GB) MCP(multi-chip package) for mobile phones that for the first time forgoes the need for an external memory card slot and also eliminates having to develop interface software for all types of NAND memory.

Samsung's new moviMCP is a multi-chip package carrying an embedded (moviNAND) memory solution, which provides a simple-to-design memory package that satisfies the high-speed data transmission needs of mobile phones, while fully supporting the communication features within the handset.

The new moviMCP combines a 4GB embedded memory card. which consists of two 16Gb (gigabit) NAND flash chips and a controller, together with a 1Gb mobile DRAM chip to support the processor and a 2Gb NAND flash chip for general handset operations. This provides a total memory capacity of 35Gbs.

Samsung's use of an eMMC interface, the MultiMediaCard Association (MMCA) standard for embedded memory, resolves the design complexity inherent in the functional differences of the various types of NAND flash, by integrating an embedded controller, into the moviMCP. This removes the need to develop interface software for each type of NAND flash.

The new moviMCP stacks several memory functions vertically to enable a small footprint. Its high density eliminates the need for having to also provide an external expansion slot. Samsung's moviMCP is currently available for OEM sampling.

According to market research firm iSuppli, the 3G mobile phone market - which is the main target for Samsung's new moviMCP - is expected to reach 392 million units in 2007 and show an approximately 40 percent compounded annual growth rate from 2007 through 2010.

By 2011, over a third of mobile phone users will switch to HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access).


According to a recently published report by Korea IDC entitled, 'HSDPA, and market analysis and prospect for wireless broadband (Wibro) in Korea,' HSDPA will acquire 7.4% of the entire cellular phone market in 2007. This rate will jump drastically to 14% in 2008, 20.5% in 2009, and finally reach 32.6% in 2011, which will correspond to approximately 14.92 million users. Though its sales rate merely amounted to 0.2% in 2006, it is projected to rise to 38.8% by 2011.

USIM, universal subscriber identification module, will play a pivotal role in developing HSDPA. This chip currently uses a locking device, but the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) is making efforts to unlock it for the purpose of achieving complete openness. The USIM chip, which stores mobile communication information as well as personal data, will be installed in mobile phones.

MIC plans to unlock the locking device on all HSDPA and HSUPA mobile phones by 2008. To this end, the Ministry will set up a USIM team, which will include business and consumer organizations. Achieving USIM openness is expected to expand the market presence of HSDPA.

By the end of this year, HSDPA will be upgraded to HSUPA. HSUPA, whose maximum speed is 5.76 Mbps, will signify a dramatic improvement from HSDPA, whose current speed is 384 Kbps. Meanwhile, KT, a Wibro company, is scheduled to build Wibro Version 2, a network that supports an upload speed of 8 Mbps and a download speed of 34.6 Mbps. Accordingly, the speed competition between the two technologies is expected to intensify.

5 million Wibro subscribers - possibility?
Wibro is expected to acquire one hundred and thirty thousand subscribers in 2007, six hundred thousand in 2008, 1.4 million in 2009, and finally 3.9 million in 2011. At that point, the difference in the number of subscriber between Wibro and HSDPA is expected to be only marginal.

Largely, this will result from the conservative investment and marketing strategies that Wibro companies such as KT and SK Telecom employ as a result of their lack of confidence in the prospects of this business. If the market becomes more favorable upon introducing killer applications and popular terminals, Wibro-related investment and marketing will grow. Furthermore, according to the aforementioned report, KT will aggressively build infrastructures in its effort to secure subscribers if the market takes these positive turns. Should this happen, the report predicts that the number of subscribers will reach eight hundred thousand by 2008 and 5 million by 2011.

The report also predicts that the relations between Wibro and HSDPA will remain complementary rather than competitive because HSDPA is better than the Wibro with regard to mobility and accessibility, while the latter is better for data transmission purposes.

According to Han In-Kyu, a senior researcher at Korea IDC, "price will be the most important factor in deciding the success of the respective technologies because communication costs per household are increasing as Wibro and HSDPA/HSUPA continue to provide new services and contents. Because mobile phone internet service is provided in package plans, service providers should consider offering (partial) fixed-price plans to lower the cost for households."

"To develop profitable services," he emphasizes, "cooperation between various content and terminal (equipment) providers must be strengthened." He also points out that although mobile shopping and mobile lectures have been tested, the lack of appropriate killer applications had hampered their success. This, according to him, is a problem that must be addressed as soon as possible.

Sales of mobile phones, including smartphones, dropped 13% to $35.5 billion in the first quarter of 2007 following a seasonally strong pre-Christmas quarter in 4Q06, according to Infonetics Research in its latest "Mobile and WiFi Phones and Subscribers" report.

In the long term, mobile phone unit shipments are forecast to increase due to growth in developing countries, while revenue is forecast to decrease as the cost of basic units sold in developing markets continues to fall and competition in developed and saturated markets continues to increase, the report says.

"To date, smartphone purchasers have been largely business power-users, but the launch of Apple's iPhone and Samsung's BlackJack -- media-playing smartphones that appeal to consumers -- is giving the smartphone segment a boost, and could change the dynamics of the mobile phone market. Vendors will design more consumer-oriented smartphones, and cause fierce competition among incumbent players," said Richard Webb, directing analyst for wireless at Infonetics Research.

Other mobile phone highlights from the report:

  • Worldwide revenue for mobile phones is expected to total $117.5 billion in 2010, an 18% drop from 2006
  • GSM phones made up 45% of worldwide mobile phone revenue in 2006, smartphones made up 18%, and the remainder was made up by CDMA, W-CDMA, and CDMA2000 phone sales
  • Worldwide revenue for the small but fast growing smartphone segment grew 10% in 1Q07 from 4Q06, driven by the wider availability of 3G, which unlocks the media application potential of smartphones beyond email
  • In 2006, 20% of total mobile phone revenue came from North America, 34% from EMEA, 36% from Asia Pacific, and 10% from CALA
  • The number of mobile subscribers grew 26% to 2.5 billion in 2006
    

Meanwhile, worldwide WiFi phone revenue, though up significantly in 2006, fell 8% to $5 billion in 1Q07, but is projected to post strong double-digit growth every year through 2010, when it will top $145 billion, as WiFi is incorporated into a growing range of mobile phones.

Enterprises are ramping up adoption of WiFi phones, driven by increased use of wireless LANs and IP PBX technology, while consumers are adopting WiFi phones because of their increasing adoption of broadband connections with wireless and VoIP-enabled CPE. At the same time, operators are launching dual-mode FMC services, which will also drive adoption of WiFi phones.

Other WiFi phone highlights from the report:

  • Dual-mode WiFi/cellular phone sales are forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 31% from 2006 to 2010, driven by healthy adoption in enterprise and consumer markets
  • Seamless handover FMC phones are expected to represent 35% of the dual-mode WiFi/cellular phone market by 2010, vs. 3% in 2006

  • Nokia leads in dual-mode WiFi/cellular phone revenue in 2006, ahead of Sony Ericsson and Motorola

  • SpectraLink (Polycom) leads in single-mode WiFi phone revenue market share, significantly ahead of Linksys and Cisco
    

Infonetics' report tracks GSM, W-CDMA, CDMA, and CDMA2000 mobile phones, smartphones and OS, single mode WiFi VoIP phones split by enterprise vs. consumer, and dual-mode WiFi/cellular handsets split by dual-service vs. seamless. The report includes 2006 market size totals, annual revenue and unit forecasts through 2010, market share detail, and analysis of the mobile and WiFi phone market for all regions.

Second year of competition rewards developers and entrepreneurs with valuable prizes for applications and business plans in the mobile space

Nokia, together with a number of high-profile sponsors today announced the launch of its second annual competition for developers and entrepreneurs working in the mobile space. The 'Mobile Rules!' competition aims to promote excellence in both applications developed for mobile and for businesses launching or promoting services in the mobile arena. The initiative is in its second year. In 2006, it was launched as the 'Web2Mobile' competition; the change of name reflects the increased scope, prizes and reach of this year's contest.

Commenting on the launch of the competition, Vesa Luiro, Director, Communication Solutions with Nokia, said: "At the heart of Nokia's business lies innovation - both in mobile devices and in the services and solutions that will enhance the experience of mobile users. Nokia is a pioneer in 'open collaboration' - working with a range of academic, commercial and non-profit organizations on technology research and development to bring together the best combination of minds in our fields of interest. 'Mobile Rules!' is a way for us to encourage and promote innovation in mobile services and, at the same time, it reflects Nokia's inclusive attitude towards partnering with external organizations."

The competition is divided into two 'tracks'. The first is for qualified developers working on mobile applications for Nokia platforms in four categories: 'multiplayer and connected games', 'multimedia', 'enterprise' and 'infotainment'. The second is aimed at entrepreneurs, small businesses, start-ups and academic institutions and is for business plans in the mobile space, both those designed specifically for mobile devices and those that make existing static businesses mobile.

With one winner and two runners-up per category in Track One and one winner and two runners-up in Track Two, the competition prizes include Nokia devices, memberships of Forum Nokia Launchpad, promotion of the winning application/plan through channels owned by Nokia or other competition sponsors and expert advice from Nokia specialists. The five overall winners will also be offered the chance to develop a contract with one of the competition sponsors or a significant cash prize if no contract is awarded.

In 2006, the competition focused only on business plans and the winners were: a mobile community for music fans; a peer-to-peer mobile file-sharing application; an application for estate agents to improve customer service and a service providing multiple identities on a single mobile device. More details of last year's winners, entry terms and conditions and prizes can be found on the competition web site at: www.mobilerules.org.

"Mobile solutions for consumers and businesses is one of the hottest development arenas in technology," concluded Vesa Luiro. But this can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, demand and the scope for innovation are great. On the other, the crowded market means it can be difficult for smaller companies, entrepreneurs and developers to get their voice heard. 'Mobile Rules!' allows Nokia to promote excellence in mobile and - as well as providing immediate recognition and valuable prizes - will open doors for our winners in the years ahead."

Samsung's shipments were up 50% year over year.

As the two, next-largest handset vendors fling themselves at the dual prospects of entry-level phones in emerging markets and upgrade cycles in mature markets, all in an effort to compete with Nokia Corp.’s breakaway, a few rivets are coming loose.

Motorola Inc.’s historic stumble has enabled Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. to seize, by a hair, the global, second-place ranking in market share.

Samsung churned out 37.4 million handsets in the second quarter, compared with Motorola’s self-projected volume of 35 million to 36 million. Samsung’s unit volume is up nearly 50% over the year-ago quarter. Analysts said that the vendor’s efforts in emerging markets are finding a degree of success and, like Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, it has capitalized on Motorola’s weakness in the European market to gain share.

Samsung’s financial results on its massive second-quarter volume play are another matter. The overall company earned revenue of $16 billion for the second quarter, a 4% nudge up from the year-ago quarter. Net income in the quarter was $1.5 billion, down 5% from the year-ago quarter.

Samsung’s average selling price, as in Sony Ericsson’s case, has eroded with a push for market share. Samsung’s ASP in the quarter was $148, a 5% drop from the previous quarter.

The company attributed its performance to its Ultra Edition line of handsets in mature markets and its increased volume of entry-tier handsets in emerging markets.

Does Nokia feel uncomfort in place number 1 ?

Motorola, Inc. and Microsoft today announced an extension of their relationship, enabling joint partners to develop Microsoft Dynamics-based applications for select Motorola mobile computers. The relationship, announced in conjunction with Microsoft’s launch of the new Microsoft Dynamics AX Mobile Sales solution and Microsoft Dynamics Mobile Development Tools, paves the way for Motorola PartnerSelect members globally to port their existing enterprise mobility solutions to the Microsoft Dynamics platform. From direct store delivery applications for manufacturers to point of care solutions in the healthcare sector, Microsoft Dynamics AX customers can now empower their mobile workers with innovative Motorola enterprise mobility solutions that can improve productivity and decision-making at the point of activity.

Because enterprise mobility solutions require both hardware and software applications, the relationship between Motorola and Microsoft will present new opportunities for both vendors’ channel partners. As a result of the agreement, Motorola and Microsoft partners will now be able to join the other vendor’s partner community following a qualification process. Alternatively, partners will also be able to work collaboratively with each other to create more comprehensive solutions for their customers.

Motorola is encouraging Microsoft resellers to join its highly-regarded enterprise mobility PartnerSelect program, which has been awarded VARBusiness Magazine’s 5-Star rating for four consecutive years. The program has been designed with multiple tracks tailored to the needs of different types of channel partners including independent software vendors (ISV), systems integrators (SI) and value-added resellers (VAR).

Anthony Julien, CEO of Spectra Interface, already both a Microsoft Dynamics and Motorola ISV partner, said, “By leveraging the tools and applications from Microsoft Dynamics Mobile and Motorola partners, we are now able to provide complete solutions to Microsoft Dynamics customers at a much faster rate than we could have done previously and has helped us to extend our geographic reach.”

Microsoft Dynamics has tested and certified the Motorola MC70 Windows Mobile 5.0 Mobile Computer and MC35 Windows Mobile 5.0 Enterprise Digital Assistant solutions with the Microsoft Dynamics Mobile Sales and Microsoft Dynamics Development Tools.

“We have been working very closely with Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions in the development of our tools and applications for well over a year,” said Bjarne Schøn, product unit manager of Microsoft Dynamics Mobile. “We are very excited about teaming with Motorola and its mobility solutions partners on a global basis. As a leader in enterprise mobility, Motorola has a strong partner program and the broad coverage needed to support Microsoft Dynamics’ efforts to provide mobility solutions to our customers.”

The extension of the relationship between Motorola and Microsoft is indicative of the success of the existing collaboration between the two vendors which has already resulted in Motorola being named as a finalist in the category of OEM Hardware Manufacturer of the Year in the Microsoft Partner Program Awards. Earlier this year, Motorola was given the Microsoft Windows Embedded CE Partner Excellence Award in the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) category.

“We are very excited to be working with Microsoft Dynamics Mobile on this initiative,” said Jeremy Butt, vice president of worldwide channels for Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility business. “By providing Motorola Enterprise Mobility partners and Microsoft Dynamics partners with the ability to utilize Microsoft Dynamics Mobile Development Tools and Microsoft Dynamics AX Mobile Sales application, we are now able to bring full solutions to Microsoft Dynamics AX customers. The extension of our relationship is great news for our channel partners and customers alike.”

About Microsoft
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

About Microsoft Dynamics
Microsoft Dynamics is a line of financial, customer relationship and supply chain management solutions that helps businesses work more effectively. Delivered through a network of channel partners providing specialized services, these integrated, adaptable business management solutions work like and with familiar Microsoft software to streamline processes across an entire business.

About Motorola
Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications. Inspired by our vision of seamless mobility, the people of Motorola are committed to helping you connect simply and seamlessly to the people, information, and entertainment that you want and need. We do this by designing and delivering "must have" products, "must do" experiences and powerful networks -- along with a full complement of support services. A Fortune 100 company with global presence and impact, Motorola had sales of US $42.9 billion in 2006.
