KEY POINTS FOR HPNN
"In Barcelona this week, Microsoft Corp. said it would lower the hardware requirements for its Windows Phone operating system, to support cheaper internal chips, fewer buttons and less built-in memory, enabling cheaper devices for emerging markets".
"The lower end of the segment is where all the growth is," Mr. Chand said. "
"The fastest growth really is in the affordable smartphone space," Nokia's head of mobile phones, Timo Toikkanen, said. "Something that's not fully appreciated in the Western world is that a couple of bucks makes a huge difference on developing markets."
"The trend toward cheaper phones may soon even take root in the U.S., where telecommunications carriers have been pushing against the long-held practice of subsidizing smartphone purchases in exchange for locking customers into long-term contracts. "
"Later this year, Mozilla says it will introduce a phone made in conjunction with a Chinese chip maker that will cost just $25. "
"When Google last fall launched its newest operating system, KitKat, a large part of the update was an initiative engineers at Google dubbed Project Svelte. It was an effort to reduce the memory needs of Android so that it can run on a broader range of devices, including entry-level devices with as little as 512 megabytes of RAM. "
"How do you get someone to buy your product?" Mr. Chand said. "You lower the price."
To be able to understand how this news is amazing for us as Shareholders of HPNN you have to understand a few things and how this all fits together.
1. The demand is huge for cheap smart phones
2. More room for growth developing cheap smart phones
3. Hop-On Specializes in developing cheap smart phones
4. Microsoft knows this, likes what they see and inked the licensing deal with Hop-On
4b. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/201...ponpr.aspx
5. Hardware specs for software are being specially designed to fit the needs of cheap smart phones.
We should get a PR soon with details.....Writing is on the wall here.
