Motorola’s Last Balance Sheet In Red While Google Waits Calmly: Golden Opportunity?

by Paul Joseph January 27, 2012 Featured

Motorola Mobility’s supposedly last Quarterly Results before it is amalgamated in the Search Giant Google are in Red . Motorola, true to it’s word about a bleak last quarter posted a operating loss of US$ 70 Million . In a nutshell Motorola lost a small fortune to the tune of US$ 285 Million in the last year. Industry speculation were rife with this bleak news & are still worried about Google’s knee-deep involvement in this company. What is Google’s game-plan? We had reported the acquisition deal in August 2011 before the last quarter even began. While the deal appeared to a defensive shield against the ongoing Patent wars , it is not the sole reason. Motorola makes many electronics while smartphones & tablets are just a fraction. A part of the offering is the lucrative Cable-TV business, which Google is eying. Google had also announced its intention to offer a serious competition to iPad3! While from a short-term cost perspective people believe Google did make a mistake. But such acquisitions hardly mattered in comparison to the US$ 12.5 Billion investment in Motorola! While everyone is worrying Google made a loss, it will be wise to look at present numbers & compare them with what Google did. It bought Motorola at US$ 40 per share . Currently, it is running at US$ 38.67 , which is UP 7 cents. So Motorola appears to be down, but not significantly. Furthermore, Google’s acquisitions are always kept low-key. Remember, Google made no fuss about Android when it was acquired & YouTube didn’t even feel a property of Google till about 2 years from the buy-out. So, Google has been known to take a good product & mold it to suite its needs. While the take-over deal is being scrutinized for approval all over the world, it could be another Golden opportunity, which just seems to be going through a lean patch. What do you think?

HTC Looks Optimistic Even After Apple Win In Patent Case

by Paul Joseph December 22, 2011 Featured

Some days back we heard that Apple had won the hearing against one of its premier competitor HTC over 1 patent that Apple claims that the Taiwanese company infringed upon. HTC has now begun testing technology which will not infringe on Apple’s patents and they seem confident that this ruling won’t bring them down. HTC, however won’t have to go through these troubled times alone. They have banked solidly on Google by adopting Android and now Google is now helping them out on avoiding such legal issues again. Google’s merger with Motorola Mobility gives them a lot of crucial patents that Motorola had which it can then use to safegaurd Android and its partners from harm. HTC’s CEO, Peter Chou and Google’s Senior Vice-President for Mobile, Andy Rubin spoke to the media in the companies Taiwanese headquarters where they clarified the company’s stance towards the Patent ruling. Mr. Chou thinks that Apple is using its legal clout to stop innovation in many sectors of mobile technology. Earlier the patent count in the lawsuit was 20 which was then dropped due to their vague nature to 4 patents and HTC was found to infringe on one of those patents. Well, all this patent muck-up is probably a front for a bigger Android Vs. iOS fight. This can be gauged from the fact that Apple is also fighting legal battles against Samsung, another Android partner. Andy Rubin told the media “ This is just the beginning. It will play out in the next couple of years.” but he was optimistic there would eventually be “patent peace.” The stock market has also been kind to HTC as the stocks rose because of the knowledge that this patent ruling would not affect HTC much. Another reason for the rise is that the Taiwan Government has stepped in and authorised a state fund to boost the market. During the course of the drawn out case, the stocks were taking a beating but now since HTC has got some breathing space, the rise of stocks is expected. Besides these patents, HTC has a lot of competition in the mobile phone segment to deal with after the success of Samsung’s Galaxy line of products. Inspite of this, Peter Chou is confident about the company’s future. HTC had made its debut in India earlier this year with their ‘ You ’ campaign. They need to focus on India more as it is turning out to be a growing smartphone market. In India, Android has overtaken Nokia’s Symbian OS recently and that makes the market very competitive. There have been arguments against the present state of the patent system and how it might be harmful for innovation because most patents are so ‘vague and generic’ in nature. According you how should the patent mess be resolved? Tell us in the comments.

Intel And Google Join Hands For Atom Android Partnership

by Paul Joseph September 14, 2011 Featured

Yesterday, Intel, the largest semiconductor chip manufacturer, joined hands with Google to develop and promote new Intel Atom chips powering Android smartphones. This development partnership marks Intel’s entry into the booming smartphone market . The partnership entails both companies to work on optimizing future versions of the Android Operating System to work on Intel’s x-86 based Atom processor. This move can be seen as an attempt to wrestle the market share from the ARM dominated mobile industry.  Intel executives, at the company’s annual developer conference in San Francisco, said that the first phones featuring these chips would be launched in the first half of 2012. Intel realized that developing new chips for its internal Meego operating system would not bear fruit as Meego has a tiny market share compared to Android . Google has already announced its plan to acquire Motorola Mobility. So, you could expect to see new Motorola phones powered by Intel Atom running Android Operating System soon. Intel has the largest market share when it comes to manufacturing chips for PCs. But there has been a phenomenal increase in research and interest in the smartphone and tablet segment. Intel has struggled to gain a foothold with their Atom processor for smartphones. Most of the smartphones and tablets run on the ARM architecture and companies like Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Texas Instruments and Samsung already have a head start with the production of these chips. One of the main reasons for the popularity of ARM based chips is that the power consumption is less, a major factor for hand held devices.  But Intel Chief Executive Paul Otellini is optimistic about the late entry of Intel. He feels that there is still quite a lot of opportunity in this business and that there is no clear winner. “ Good products on good platforms can really make a difference in the industry “, he said.  The new Atom chip called “ Medfield ” has already been demonstrated recently at the developer conference. Medfield is touted to have better graphics performance and improved power efficiency compared to its predecessors. While competitors are doling out dual core chips, Intel will stick to a single core for the Medfield. With the x-86 architecture coming to smartphones and tablets, Intel hopes to bring the uniformity that will bind smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops together. Intel had partnered with Nokia for Meego , but Nokia struck a deal with Microsoft for using Windows mobile OS as the OS for Nokia phones. So, Intel had to abandon Meego and turn to Android.  While Intel’s association with Microsoft in the PC business continues to flourish, Intel’s association with Android pitches it against Microsoft in the smartphone & tablet segment.  Will Intel be able to take the sheen off ARM processors? Or is it too late? Tell us

Google Buys Zagat For One-Third Its 2008 Market Value

by Paul Joseph September 12, 2011 Featured

This seems to be the ‘season of acquisition for Google . After its recent acquisition of Motorola Mobility , Google has now purchased Zagat, a restaurant review portal. One can access reviews of restaurants and nightclubs, as well as hotels and sightseeing attractions and nine other categories in more than a hundred cities from around the world. Zagat.com has over 350,000 regular contributors spread worldwide and depends on them for hands-on reviews and ratings. In January 2008, Zagat was looking for possible buyers and its market value was around $200 million . Google has managed to complete the acquisition for less than $66 million . The exact price has not been disclosed, but any acquisition deal over $66 million automatically triggers an FTC antitrust review, which was not the case here. About two years back Google had tried unsuccessfully to buy Yelp, one of Zagat’s main competitors. In fact, Yelp is currently the leader among the restaurant review portals, with over 50 million hits a month and a database of more than 20 million reviews. Google’s twin strengths, Google Search and Google Maps , can lend greater power and credibility to Zagat’s reviews. Google has been trying its best to ramp up its local content and Zagat is a positive move in that direction. Google’s other product in the local content domain called Hotpot was a bad attempt and it was overlapping some of its existing products. They have now integrated it into Google Places. The content from Zagat will also now be part of Google Places. Zagat is a known name in the restaurant reviews domain and consumers recognize and trust its authenticity. This will mean that Google will not have to spend time on gaining user’s trust from the scratch. They can instead focus on increasing the content and possibly innovating with it. Whether Google will be able to mount a serious challenge to Yelp remains to be seen, but this acquisition is a step forward in the right direction for Google. By: Riddhi M
