Mobile Evolution

Motorola has shown off its first Android based smartphone, along with a collection of user interfaces it is calling MOTOBLUR. The first handset, the Motorola CLIQ in the U.S. and Motorola DEXT elsewhere around the globe, will be released in Q4 of this year.

Developed by Motorola, MOTOBLUR enables users to sync contacts, posts, messages, photos and much more - from sources such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Gmail, work and personal e-mail, and LastFM - and automatically deliver it to the home screen. With MOTOBLUR, all conversation threads, friend updates, stories, links, photos and more are automatically delivered to live widgets on the home screen. There is no need to open and close different applications or menus. It's all organized, streamed and delivered throughout the device in unexpected ways:

Sanjay Jha, co-CEO of Motorola and CEO of Motorola Mobile Devices, announced MOTOBLUR today during a keynote at GigaOM's Mobilize '09 conference.

"With MOTOBLUR we are differentiating the Android experience for consumers by delivering a unique mobile device experience designed around the way people interact today," said Jha. "MOTOBLUR, which will be available on our first Android-powered device and on multiple Android devices in our upcoming portfolio, helps us to create phones that are instinctive, social and smart."

All contacts, log-in information, home screen customizations, e-mail and social network messages are backed up on a remote secure server. Lost or stolen phones can be found with integrated A-GPS from the online owner's portal, and data can even be wiped clean.

On the handset side, the Android based QWERTY phone supports a 5 megapixel camera, 3.1-inch HVGA touch-screen display and the usual generic smartphone functions. It also comes with a music player with pre-loaded Amazon MP3 store application, Shazam, iMeem Mobile, and a pre-installed 2GB microSD memory card with support for up to 32 GB of removable memory.

In the USA, Motorola CLIQ will be available exclusively with T-Mobile. Motorola DEXT will be available with Orange in the United Kingdom and France, Telefonica in Spain and America Movil in Latin America.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading mobile phone provider, announced that sales of the Samsung Star, its hugely popular touch screen mobile phone, surpassed the 5-million mark this month. The Star (model number S5230), launched in May, is the fastest model in Samsung’s history to reach the milestone.

Launched first in Europe, one million of the touch screen devices were sold in the first month and a half alone, after which the company expanded sales efforts to include markets in CIS, Southeast and Southwest Asia, East-Central Africa, China, and Central America.

More than 700,000 units of the Star were sold in May and more than 900,000 in June. Monthly sales in July and August were 1.6 million and 1.8 million, respectively. Based on the current trend, Samsung projects total cumulative sales to reach 10 million globally by November.

“We’re very pleased by this success,” said Young-hee Lee, Vice President of Marketing, Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. “We see the demand for touch screen phones increasing and we will continue to offer consumers a diverse range of products, supported by unique marketing campaigns.”

The Star has sold particularly well in Europe, where Samsung has sold more than 2.8 million units, topping sales lists in key markets such as France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Italy.

The Star was launched as an affordable mobile phone, appealing to young consumers with its slim, 11.9 mm body and 3-inch WQVGA touch screen. It also boasts high-tech features such as Samsung’s exclusive high-quality sound technology, DNSe, as well as a SmileShot-enabled camera and Bluetooth v2.1. The Star’s global success can be attributed in part to its sleek design, interactive and user-friendly UI, and its reasonable price point.

To drive sales, Samsung also launched active marketing programs in emerging markets where the phone is being sold, tailoring its activities, such as experimental Mobile Live events and outdoor marketing, to specific trends in those countries.

China Mobile Ltd., the Hong Kong listed subsidiary of state-owned China Mobile Corp has reported an 8.9% rise in its first half revenues to RMB212.9 billion (US$31.2 billion). Net profit rose by 1.4% to RMB55.3 billion (US$8.1 billion), while the company added 35.9 million net new subscribers over the six months.

The total customer base reached 493 million at the end of June 2009, of which, 959,000 were using the company's TD-SCDMA based 3G network.

EBITDA reached RMB110 billion, representing an increase of 5.8 per cent. over the same period of last year. Value-added business grew rapidly, continuing to increase its contribution to total revenue, accounting for 28.1 per cent. of the total revenue. For the six months ended 30 June 2009, the Group's total voice usage volume reached 1,387 billion minutes and the average minutes of usage per user per month (MOU) was 490 minutes. Average revenue per user per month (ARPU) was RMB75 (US$11).

The Board is of the view that the Company's favorable operating results and strong cash flow generating capability will continue to support the sustainable future development of the Company, while providing shareholders with a favorable cash return.

Although the company explicitly stated that it is committed to its 3G deployment, it added that it will work towards an LTE network. The statement will add fuel to the suspicion that the company's commitment to the home-grown TD-SCDMA standard is not whole hearted and that it is seeking to move as swiftly as possible to the more widespread LTE standard.

The company also confirmed that it will continue to seek out overseas investment opportunities.

China Mobile Communication Corporation is actively considering introducing solar power technology in Pakistan for electrifying cellular base stations of its subsidiary China Mobile Pakistan.

Sony says that it has launched a new type of lithium ion secondary battery that combines high-power and long-life performance, using olivine-type lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. The Olivine-type lithium iron phosphate used in this new battery is suited for use as a cathode material due to its robust crystal structure and stable performance, even at high temperatures.

­This new battery delivers an extended life-span of over four-times existing secondary lithium ion batteries used in conventional electronic devices. This new battery can also be charged to 99% of its full capacity in 30 minutes, which represents approximately half the charge time of Sony's current lithium ion battery line-up.

By combining this new cathode material with Sony's proprietary particle design technology that minimizes electrical resistance to deliver high power output, and also leveraging the cell structure design technology Sony accrued developing its current "Fortelion series" lithium ion secondary battery line-up, Sony says that it has realized a high power density of 1800W/kg and extended life span of approximately 2,000 charge-discharge cycles.

Furthermore, with this new battery able to charge rapidly, in addition to providing a stable discharge of voltage, it will first be supplied for use in motor driven devices such as power tools, after which its application will be expanded to a wide range of other mobile electronic devices.
