Superscape was founded nearly twenty years ago, and has been dedicated throughout its history to the development of ground-breaking software technology for the creation and delivery of innovative, high quality interactive 3D applications.
Over the years, Superscape has amassed unparalleled expertise and experience in the development of 3D software capable of working within the constraints of limited memory devices, slow processor speeds and strictly controlled file sizes.

Drawing on this knowledge, Superscape has established a world-leading position in the development of industry-standard 3D technology and applications for mobile devices. The company's Swerve technology has been developed specifically for wireless environments in close collaboration with ARM, and comprises a 3D engine (Swerve Client), authoring tools (Swerve Studio) and a broad portfolio of 3D content, with particular emphasis on 3D games. Swerve is being adopted on a global basis by many of the mobile industry's leading players, together with world-renowned content and brand organisations.

Superscape has corporate headquarters in Hook, Hampshire (UK) and San Clemente, California (USA) with regional offices in Tokyo and Sydney. The company is quoted on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: SPS).



Superscape (SPS) has received various tips in the press and by Analysts recently which will certainly give impetous to the share price. Indicators are looking good with the RSI rising off an oversold position and the MACD crossing showing BULLISH signs for the stock.

The mobile gaming market is still in it's infancy but the projected revenue is enormous. Mobile operators are looking at tapping the Gameboy market as they feel that users will not want to carry around a multitude of technology and if they have a mobile phone which can double as a gaming station than people will prefer this option.

People should also look at the recent contracts which SPS have signed for their technology. This is a technology company which could well be a great success in 2004.

we should see some more activity tomorrow - agree ehall, the big volume trades today and yesterday are all buys indicating support from the city. The MM's were also holding a lot of stock so I expect they will let this one ease up gradually with increasing demand. Another 1-2pence tomorrow I think.

At least half of these are swerved!!!

VODAFONE ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE NEW HANDSET RANGE
FOR 3G CONSUMER SERVICES

Vodafone today announces its extensive range of 10 new generation 3G handsets
planned for the Christmas period, following the launch of the Vodafone Mobile
Connect 3G datacard and the successful introduction of Vodafone live!(TM) with
3G.

Vodafone is working with some of the world's leading handset manufacturers
including Sharp, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, NEC, Nokia and Samsung to provide
customers with a wide choice of 3G handsets at a range of prices. These handsets
will be available with a broader array of services across Europe and Japan.

This new range of Vodafone 3G handsets, all featuring Vodafone's multi-media
consumer service, Vodafone live!(TM), has been designed in close collaboration
with manufacturers to allow consumers to experience the benefits of enhanced
Vodafone live!(TM) with 3G services. The handset range, which includes models
and designs exclusive to Vodafone, will enable significant improvements in
imaging, music, entertainment and information. Highlights include Europe's first
2 mega pixel camera phone, equipped with auto focus, optical zoom and high
resolution displays; handsets that offer CD music quality, stereo speakers and
MP3 players; access to 3D gaming; video and audio streaming and video calling.

Customers can use Vodafone's new generation of 3G handsets in both Europe and
Japan as services will be delivered seamlessly by Vodafone's global W-CDMA
networks.

Vodafone plans to launch 10 new 3G handsets. The portfolio includes the Sharp
802, Sharp 902, Motorola E1000, Motorola V980, Motorola C980, NEC's Vodafone
802N, Sony Ericsson V800, Nokia 6630, Samsung Z110V and Samsung Z107V.

'The planned launch of our new 3G handset portfolio represents a major
breakthrough in terms of handset choice', said Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing
Officer, Vodafone. 'It will also give consumers the opportunity to experience
the enhanced range of Vodafone live!(TM) with 3G services, opening up a whole
new world of communication and entertainment via the mobile phone.'

Full details of these services and handset availability will follow in November

I'd imagine we can expect a follow-up RNS from SPS detailing the Swerve impact - this together with a positive Shares recommendation tomorrow should be great news.

All Happy ?

Quote "At 37.5p Superscape is valued at 46 million and still looks dirt cheap". Nice write up, didn't provide any new info really although some of the costs and revenue streams are a bit clearer, very positive, thanks Shares!

More good comment......And the share price drops 1p. Confusing life aint it...........Still think this is the next ASOS.If mobile games take off scary potential. They have the right platform/technology and in with all the big players.

Are Superscape due to announce some results in the next month or so?
I think today's drop is just in line with market sentiment.I agree positive news in share magazine and liked the CEO'S attitude to the launch of 3G as another challenge, which the company is in a good position to utilise market potential.
You would think someone in the City and other tipsters (other than Shares Magazine) are now starting to realise the potential of Superscape.

aevansdj, i think others have spotted SPS, but the level of income is still a guess figure. once revenues start coming in it will be easier (more accurate) to scale the potential of SPS. add + hold IMO

Last year they announced their interim results at the end of October.Their revenue was only just over 1million. I think that everyone will be looking for a significant increase( given the hype of new cosnttracts etc.) and a substantial downward movement in losses.

The majority of yesterdays trades were intitutions with some strong support later on in the day, expect further support today and next week, results are out within a month so traders will soon begin their buying spree in anticipation!

Still continues north, been bid a sixteenth under mid for size this week...fill yer boots :)

Article from SHARES magazine - this week.

Tim Freeborn met Superscape (SPS) chief executive Kevin Roberts and his team last week. If confidence could be bottled they would have needed a magnum or two. They certainly had a compelling story to tell. The company has already signed distribution deals with most of the top 15 mobile networks. By christmas at least 75% of mobile users worldwide should be covered.
Still looks dirt cheap.

Isnt this the problem with most shares that are going places? If you wait until the numbers and profit are on the table you do not make the big killing , but by going in early and using "intuition" your success rate can be a lot lower!Charts are great but you have to look at the fundamentals of ther business opportunity and see if its going to fly or not?eg Warthog was not my brightest moment but the games and product were good unfortunately my intuition did not tell me the management could not manage a "XXXX up in a brewery", but then with ASOS hey ho brighter days came.
"IF" mobile games take off Superscapes management will need spacesuits!Just my intuition speaking you understand!

The beauty of contracts signed with the major manufacturers means that SPS could be producing games that go onto the handsets as standard. So whether or not 'games' take off, SPS will be receiving revenues. Personally I think the 3d market in general will take off - things always move on. And the games market will be BIG in places like japan, europe will take a little longer I think. All IMO of course, but I plan to hold on to SPS.

Remember the results are being published on the 15th Oct.

I understand that games could be loaded onto a phone upon purchase but i thought i read that they were looking to make the games very inexpensive (5 each)and that kids/teenagers would be buy them regularly ( sort of pocket money affordability)

willfagg,

SPS (as well as many other companies) already produce games on demand and downloadable games, beit via the Internet, WAP or Text. The market for 3d games will only grow when the phones that support them are available, which is why I personally think this year has been huge for SPS. If the christmas sale of 3g phones goes ahead then we should see revenues start to come in. The results next month will be the thing to watch. But remember that Swerve is not limited to games, its a 3d technology that can be used for anything. And I'm sure everything will become 3d very soon. How many 2d PC games do you get nowadays?

skids

i quite agree. I suppose i am surprised that if the potential is what i believe why has the share price not done more already?Why has everyone selected and signed up with SPS? maybe it as you say and there needs to be more technology out there capable of taking advantage of the product

thanks for comments Skids

willfagg,

I can only guess that SPS is seen as having potential, but there is nothing stopping the big telecoms from producing there own equivalent to Swerve. That is probably why SPS are keen to get as many games developers using it now as possible, with the hope that support is there for the chip. Swerve is based on a Java std though, and the world seems to like Java so I believe the chip will take off. Time as always will tell.

kind regards,
