Japan’s first notebook PC with green power certificate released by Fujitsu


The new consumer model will be available in Japan from Fujitsu’s Web Mart online store beginning today.

For each FMV-BIBLO LOOX U/C50N Eco sold, Fujitsu will purchase a Green Power Certificate equivalent to the total electricity the PC will consume in the course of its operating lifespan.

When customers use their notebooks, the electricity consumed will be regarded as “green energy” that is generated from renewable sources and results in zero net CO2 emissions.

The funds used to purchase Green Power Certificates will help sustain green power(4) generation and expand the spread of renewable energy.

The Fujitsu Group is striving to reduce the burden on the environment of its PC, servers, and other IT hardware over the entire lifecycle of the products, spanning development and design, materials procurement and logistics, and including the power consumed by customers.

Nokia, Boldly Goes Where No Handset Has Gone Before, well not really but I just had to get that line in somewhere, and okay, yes I am Star Trek fan so was delighted when I saw this post on the Crave announcing there is to be a new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Star Trek Special Edition mobile phone.

So yeah, good news, Nokia has tied their 5800 XpressMusic in with the latest blockbuster Star Trek movie, and along with this Star Trek 5800 XpressMusic comes the usual array of wallpapers, ringtones, and even a Phaser application…cool.

Obviously a must have for most ardent Star Trek fans and one that Nokia is probably going to bank a large amount of cash on. After all the original Star Trek communicator was the forerunner to the mobile phone, don’t you agree?

India Gears Up for 250,000 OLPCs


After the $10 laptop debacle, the Indian Government seems to have softened it stand on OLPC's (One Laptop Per Child) which it was not very keen on in the not too distant past.

In fact, the government has signed an agreement with the OLPC Foundation to purchase as many as 250,000 XO laptops from the foundation for distribution across the country. OLPC's first tryst with India happened in 2007 when 20 XO machines were distributed in a Maharashtra village. This was just years after the foundation was set-up in 2005. After the completion of the project in Maharashtra, even though it was a success, the Indian government chose not to continue with the OLPC plan citing "health" reasons. The MHRD (Ministry of Human Resource Development) thought it was unhealthy for children to use laptops for prolonged periods.

Meanwhile, the government went ahead with the $10 laptop project, which sounded preposterous right from the outset. Call it a PR gaffe or a real bad job at publicity, the $10 computing device "Sakshat" was far cry from a laptop and was snubbed by many who thought it was more of a glorified pen-drive and less a laptop. Mind you, we're not taking anything away from Sakshat or the people behind it. The intentions were right, but the presentation and publicity left a lot to be desired. In the end, the country was left red faced because of all this $10 hype.

Now, the OLPC foundation is readying an update to the current machines. These include a RAM boost to 1GB and a storage boost to 4GB. The latest version is expected to land sometime in 2010. At this moment, there is no news on which version of the laptop has the government opted for.

Nokia's net profit falls 90 percent


24-4-2009
If you were wondering how bad things have gotten for the mobile handset market, just take a look at Nokia, the world's largest maker of cell phones.
The company on Thursday reported a 90 percent fall in first-quarter net profits as the global recession took a big bite out of demand for mobile devices.
For the first quarter, which ended March 31, Nokia said that net profits fell to 122 million euros ($161.3 million). A year earlier the company reported net profits of 1.22 billion euros. Analysts had expected the company to report net profits of about 306 million euros.
The company's sales fell to 9.27 billion euros from 12.66 billion euros last year. This was also below analyst expectations, which were counting on sales of around 9.80 billion euros
Nokia said that it shipped about 93.2 million handsets during the quarter, a decline of 19 percent from a year earlier and down roughly 18 percent compared to the fourth quarter.
"The inventory already in the sales channels decreased substantially during Q1 due to extensive destocking by operators and distributors," Nokia Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said in a statement. "This adversely impacted our sales volumes in the quarter. However, it has also resulted in the demand picture becoming more predictable as we enter the second quarter."
The company reiterated that it expects sales to fall at least 10 percent this year based on 2008 levels. But much of the decline is expected in the first half of the year. The company said that it expects sales volumes in the second quarter to be flat or slightly up from what it saw in the first quarter.
The company also said that it has held its 37 percent market share, which it had predicted in January. But pricing on individual handsets fell to 65 euros from 71 euros during the previous quarter.
The sharp decline in sales and net profit is a direct result of the financial meltdown that has plagued the world market over the past two quarters. And as the economy begins to recover, Nokia's fall is likely to bottom out, too.
But now the company has other problems. While it has managed to hold onto its overall market share, the company is still losing ground at the high end of the market to companies such as Apple, with its iPhone, and Research In Motion, with the BlackBerry. And competition is only expected to intensify as others, like Palm, enter the market with new devices.

AdMob has released its monthly Mobile Metrics Report for March, and to no one's surprise, the iPhone and iPod touch are still hot devices for surfing the web on the go. Both are also hot devices for using mobile apps, too, as AdMob says that over half of the requests for ads from iPhones now come from third-party apps.
Worldwide, the iPhone continues to gain a significant share of mobile requests on AdMob's network. While Symbian-based devices, mostly from Nokia, continue to lead, the iPhone is catching up, mostly to Symbian's detriment. In the US, the iPhone still holds half of all requests for mobile ads compared to devices based on other OSes.

As far as the competition is concerned, Symbian is dropping significantly worldwide, and it is still barely a blip in the US smartphone market. RIM continues to mostly hold steady both worldwide and in US while Windows Mobile continues to decline. Palm continues its downward


slide, while Android catches up to it, both tying worldwide at three percent and in the US at percent percent of mobile ad requests. Competition between the two should heat up when the Pre is released, but with new models expected from Apple and more devices starting to use Android this year, momentum could keep Palm from making significant strides.
AdMob compared growth in ad requests between Android and iPhone for the first five months since the launch of the respective platforms' app stores. Android managed to grow and average of about 47 percent since November 2008. The iPhone grew an average of 88 percent for the first five months its app store was open. AdMob noted that traffic on both platforms is split about evenly between apps and mobile web requests, suggesting that apps are driving mobile traffic as much as full-fledged browsers.
The iPhone and iPod touch continue to rank one and two as the top handsets worldwide and in the US for mobile traffic. Motorola's RAZR still holds the number three spot in both rankings, but continues to slip in share. Apple is the top handset manufacturer in the US by a large margin; while it still ranks number two to Nokia worldwide, it is closing in on Nokia as it cedes some share to Apple.
As usual, AdMob's data comes with the usual caveat that it doesn't measure market share as a percent of unit sales. Instead, it measures the percentage of requests for mobile ads from its network of 6,000 websites and 1,000 applications. Still, the trends it shows in how different devices are being used online is clear. iPhone OS and Android-based phones are moving up, up, up, while Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Palm are going down, down, down. RIM's devices, for the most part, are holding their own.
