Live from New York, it's the Samsung (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy S IV. Mobile chief JK Shin has unveiled Samsung's new flagship device, which happens to look a lot like its predecessor. The S IV, said to support every 4G LTE band, will go on sale in late April (U.S. availability might take longer). The expected 5" 1080p display and 13MP camera are there, the next-gen 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard is supported (could be a positive for BRCM), and infrared, temperature, and humidity sensors are thrown in. A variety of camera tricks/gimmicks are provided, including the ability to simultaneously record video from both cameras. (live blog) (previous)

"Only 1.3m Blackberry 10 units would be sufficient to push [BlackBerry] into the black" in the May quarter, estimates Bernstein's Pierre Ferragu, staying bullish on BlackBerry (BBRY +1.3%) even as many on the sell-side offer downbeat views on BB10 sales. Baird's William Power is the latest to offer such a take. "Last week virtually all reps we spoke to [in the U.K. and Canada] were unaware of inventory levels, which would seem to imply that fewer customers have been inquiring about the device."

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:42:04 -0500

it maybe the best, but the chart say its going to 12$ in the short term. aapl, and goog are the anchors in the mighty smartphone market, and their relationship with the carriers suggest it.

WHEN is BB10 kicking off in the good ole USA. why even bother with a superbowl ad. better off giving the money to foodbanks!

iam net long aapl via uncovered weekly puts.

As much as i like BB, i have a bad feeling about it just looking at chart....with the Americans on one side aapl, goog, AND the Chinese on the other huawei, and ZTE.
