Now on new z. news time. Goldman sachs is that a look at a few stocks in the wake up i phone the last four and the i ain't bad the wallstreet journal and catholics goldman's thoughts on the people stocks including adobe amazon research in motion. And apple itself adobe is a by and goldman's estimation the firm things adoption of c s five should be much better than c s for and while apple may keep flash from moving more into mobility it's still dominant on the desktop. And it's still accessible on other mobile platforms amazon add to buy. Sure says goldman the i bad could marginalized the candle but modest amazon e book sales on the i bad plus substantial e book sales on other platforms should keep amazon act or near the top and he books even without candles. Research in motion ooh time to sell research in motion. The goldman's way of thinking the i bad compound apples advantage and abs which they view was the key determine into success in smart phones currently. The firm expects rooms products doing freezing we lose differentiate soon as the pocus ships from email where rem leads all competitors the abs and browsers where rem legs both the i phone and and freud. And one of the company of the our the founder of the beast the folks who brought the tablet to the masses in the way that. Didn't make the masses reg goldman has slapping neutral rating on apple at least for the time being. Quoting the sex the i bad and the upcoming i phone the last four should further solidify apples leadership and mobile abs what they have store potentially becoming eight three billion dollar plus annual revenue business for apple by twenty oh eleven. That said we think cos positive long term outlook and very favorable investor sentiment are mostly captured in the stocks year to date performance leading to our neutral reading. So long term awesome short term match. So seems to be the problem asian from gold finger. Seem to support goldman's distrust the room going forward preliminary numbers on the ice bad online ours technic- er has data from web metrics firm that application showing the i've bad driving about point zero three percent of all web traffic. Each of the first ten days since it launched that the p says nearly matches the march numbers for the blackberry. And it's on on the heels of other mobile devices according to the p c i bad web share grew straddle it from april third until the weekend following the launch april tenth and eleventh. At that time the number beat that about point zero four percent both days before settling back down as users went back to work. Comparatively net applications recorded an average of point zero four percent for blackberry devices over the entire month of march well all versions of and really together came in it point zero seven percent. As did windows mobile. Windows mobile beads blackberry and web surfing. Learn something new every five minutes. As must always be stated with net application data they don't track sales looking instead of what device is not grading systems people use to visit a sizeable network of sites of course it's not really an apples to apples comparison more novels too. Not apples comparison yeah i bet it's not as portable a thing is the blackberry and surfing the web doesn't seem to be the thing that blackberry users want to do. I found by the way smack them all with the point five one percent share of web traffic as did i pod sides what the point one one percent.

Both models will be released at the end of may said jobs. Sorry for the delay so you get an apology when you're right and nice letter. Get a bit combative though and your sanity is questioned international mac broadcaster super careful listener and chocolates here to the d list internet celebrities ball shad well wrote to mister jobs this week. Dear mister jobs that he on behalf of the international community of apple consumers i would like to protest the way apple is apparently leaving us out in the cold with the apple i bad product. I live in switzerland and as yet we have no idea what the apple i bad will cost here if it does anything like the international praising we've been used due to date on other apple products and it will certainly not be an unbelievable bryce as stated in your marketing. If it delays and like a bracing information or do two apple doing it's level best to make sure that we are not being ripped off and i applied that work however as previously mentioned. I am doubting this twice to my knowledge you a falsely stated international availability of the i bad while i do not believe this is any fault of your own i can imagine that you're not happy being shown as deliberately pulling the wool over the rest of the world's eyes. This is what you said at the i bad launch sixty days worldwide availability of wife i models this is what you said it the i phone the last four announcement. Question will i bad success in fact it's international launch. Steve no we said we're launching internationally later in april and we're launching later in april please can you clarify what is happening and why this taking so long for information to be released to the international community i look forward to your response best regards. Paul shad well short sweet and to the point jobs reply deliberately pulling the wool over the rest of the world's eyes are you in nuts we were doing the best we can we need another unit to have a responsible and great launch. No sorry for the delay. I like paul i do but one of the most powerful and popular guys and technology and entertainment questions ball sanity. We mail at the duck is calls for awhile i kid ball because he's thousands of miles away and playing from him to me you're probably grounded. I hope so anyway. Might be crazy. You can't carriers are still coming out of the woodwork saying oh yes oh yes we'll be ready for the i'd bad when it gets here eventually. I told yesterday pledges from both oh two and go to phone that they'd have i bad specific data plans when the tab what goes on sale now two more pieces for mac world you ok one that has orange announcing such plans and another with t mobile saying gee it's. Really hopes to have such a plan or and says it's deal will cover the u. k. france spain and switzerland the start. D mobile on the other hand says it's discussions with apple are continuing and updates will be provided ads and when it is burton and to do so. So there. Abolition made on up the fortune five hundred the number fifty six maximum news uh sports in magazines annual ranking of america's largest corporations have seen the all things i maker leap fifteen places from number seventy one. Which is where it's at the last time the list was drawn up. Fortune's as apples profits are up twelve and a half percent from two thousand nine and then as of march twenty six the company has over fifty three point eight billion dollars and assets. One and a half that cos made the top ten those being h. b. and a t and t. And i'll let you decide for yourself which is the half that company walmart is number one on the twenty ten fortune five hundred number fifty six on the fortune five hundred but number one and bloomberg business week's heart. Or hard to. A separate maximum news' b. says to the six consecutive year apple is top the list of bloomberg business weeks annual list the fifty most innovative cos google microsoft i b m n toyota motor around out the top five. The last one presumably for it's innovative acceleration at the will of the wind feature. Good news for an apple friend they may google reported quarterly earnings yesterday and tech crunch was listening in the most interesting bits per apple followers had to do with the cos mobile plays. According to google the n freud market plays now includes thirty eight thousand abs not nearly as many as apples app store but growing in a decent clip. Thirty eight thousand is up eight ok from just one month ago and what is the phone google was never going to make. The companies as the next is one the one and only google branded phone as opposed to phones branded with google. An as one is a profitable business according to the company kind of surprising to hear since just about everything said about the roll out of the phone has pointed to failure the reviews of the phone itself tend to be pretty good the great. Cool wouldn't comment on whether the nexus one whatever be offered at retail choosing instead to stressed that it is happy with device up take an impact it has had raising the bar chilling what a smart phone can do. And finally today how the sony plan to beat the crap out of apple with crab of it so a lectern these to has a sony exec saying that it is introducing a whole new line of sony bios with what you will have almost nothing to do. The bio will have to tears of machines according to the peace. One design from the floor up by sony. And one designed by a contractor that would slap a bio stamp on it and call it good tier two will include sony specific features like a help button says the story well the exact says the out of house machine will be at the same quality is the n house computers. He does admit the newest add will always go to sony's own machines. Not just the ones that carry the sony name the exact size the move is not only meant to be market share leader h. b. but also apple since he's he's getting more products on shelves and apples relatively small product range. And helping it be the cupertino company. Because that's why apple winds people just don't have enough choices.
