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.

Why the drop today given recent news I'd have expected to see continued momentum? Looks like some short profit harvesting to me.

Bugger that caught me out - I was hanging on to reinvest the money I drew down by selling half my holding - target was 50p.
I think I'll to revise my strategy. Maybe 55p should be my new target to get some more.

mg, its a bit of a pain this one, I have been in and out of these a few times, last time I went back in a couple of weeks ago I was determined to not pay more than 59p when they were trading at 60-61 I was pleased to pay 59.5 (I think) and then last week I spend several days not watching the market and when I did check I felt a slight tightening of the Thong, if you know what I mean, still in and these have been my best investment this year so no complaints.

Definitely my best performer this year - doubled my money and then sold so that it owes me nothing but profit from here in. However, it's definitely got potential - not as much as MST mind ;)

Quite happy 'cos the average purchase price is now about 27p ;)

I wouldn't worry mg, these are set for new highs (above the 65p mark) IMO. Being held back at the moment until fresh news on sales of handsets I imagine.

Thanks Skids.They are licensing like crazy in the far east right now...obviously a smart focus as the region has the highest per capita gaming anywhere, even US and developed Europe (it is as much as 2x) and mobile handsets to tweens/teens is exploding. I think the potential is huge and the international dimension they are buiding very very fast to capitalise on first mover advantage. About time for them to raise their FY forecasts as most of this is revenue positive in the current year.

Is this new hand held game station from Sony that was featured in some press articles yesterday going to have an adverse effect on this companies profitability. Apparently the Japanese were queuing all night for the equipment.
Reports went onto say that the equipment purchased in Japan retailing circa 160 were fetching in excess of 500 on ebay true or not what will be the effect of this competition

Bankone,
I don't think there is any competition. Afterall SPS have a java standard agreed by Sun! They have also recently announced a partnership with ATI - one of the biggest grahics chips producers. Just my opinion of course, but SPS isn't just about games, its about 3D API's being available to mobile devices in the same way that PC's have great 3D graphics. SPS are just producing a std for small devices. But remember 3D isn't just games (look further than that).

i think SPS are overdue to provide an update and early indications of the impact the new standard phone sales are having on their revenues
