Yuff, biffa18 & pachandl.

Thanks for replying. I'll check out those links once today's rush is over.

Cheers.

It's a scary thought, but do you think that the MCI deal that was basically known back in January is already factored into the price, or, hopefully, the market is either very dozey right now or busy elsewhere?????

I don't really view the deal as much in so far as MCI are using Apps internally - although of course this should be worth $$$$

but I see the real value in that MCI are no in effect a reseller

MCI will be knocking on the door of every multinational asking them if they want to use the service - and presumably they already have some to consider it worthwhile to develop the service.

Admittedly the cost is having to give MCI a large slice but the clients they should pull in will be tremendous

I think you are right but I have read on other boards the amount of cash MCI are going to throw at appx is staggering, if they are that impressed with the software somewhere down the line it will be shown in tads bottom line.

Highride - I have said for quite a while now that the MCI "announcement" was already factored into the price. It is always a mistake to assume that this type of "inside" knowledge is only known on BBs. It has been an open secret for ages. However, IF DD is correct, then the longer term revenue through-put generated by MCI will only be factored in over the coming months. A bullish statement at the interims (I expect no less if the past is anything to go by!) but with a bit more specifics about s may start to generate long-term upward momentum - whereas more hyperbole and techno-waffle will have the reverse effect. Cheers.

What is MCI's turnover?

even if they only managed to generate $20m p.a. from the service and TAD got 10%.....I think you can do the maths

anyone who doubts the long term benefit of this deal is retarded imho.

not to mention the fact an ETI salesman can now walk into a company and when asked for what customers Apps has he can name drop MCI

Highride
i take your point about the deal being aready factored in.....BUT...what about the dozens of peeps posting ( representing maybe a few % of tad watchers ) who are waiting for deals to be ANNOUNCED.

imo the brave get 100% of something, the guys who sit on the sidelines and wait get far less. a choice we all make.

supperrod - how can the deal be factored in when the service is not up and running?

an expectation of deal is included but no one has any idea of the $$$$ it will geenrate to TAD

in future years 18p may look tiny on the back of it - of course 18p may also turn out to be too high but I doubt it

dick
From memory MCI's t/o is in the region last year of $20b.

Yuff - I think that shows that even a failure to MCI would be a massive boon to TAD's performance

p.s. I think Scotland will be lucky to stay anywhere near a 27 point spread against Australia on saturday

Yes Dick.
It seems tad's low key approach to this MCI deal is at the behest of MCI otherwise we would, I am sure, be seeing more pr from the company.
Imo this can only mean one thing, MCI really do want to gain market share with this product otherwise why keep it so hush hush.

i am only pointing out a possibility. it doesnt mean i believe it, just that many others may.

From my post on ADVFN


Just some info that may or not be in the realms of tad's orbit. From MCV (gaming insiders mag) The new handheld GIZMONDO contains GPS and GPRS WITH MAPPING SOFTWARE. With Cartesias as a supplier to OS this might be linked further down the chain. As to the rumour that Tadpole were linked to a games supplier, with relevence to secure downloads, some figures, again from the MCV are interesting AOL, new download service had 50,000 in the first month, Sony has 60m products in homes in the PAL regions alone. 50,000 by 12 is 600,000 and if all PS1+2 downloaded just one game in a year that is 60m times whatever Endevours gets per download. Even at a few cents a pop it adds up.

The tracking side of the GIZMONDO, market by toys r us appeals to parents who want to find out where their kids are, and as such i will re-produce this post on the CYH thread as it's a telematics company making the device.

Cheers,

Looks very interesting paleface.

Well. I've said it before and I'll say it again now, I don't think the market is going to take any notice of TAD until they start to announce $$$$. The media are all over Blue chip news, perhaps smaller companies whose products are more exciting, but TAD, no news. Perhaps once the next interim with bullish statement is made public we'll see some positive movement.

I have to admit, I was hoping for a peak so I could sell and then buy back in at a lower price, mainly because I'd like to draw out some money for ME. I suppose I'll just have to wait. Hrrrmph!

Have a great weekend all,

Highride.

now tad is quoted on the tech100 maybe a few venture caps or institutions might take a look. they only punt maybe a 100k on a small cap like tad but it will act like rocket fuel.

High ride, take it ME refers to you, not an EPIC!

I see MAM have taken some action today!
