Anyone know if this stock is going to rocket?

DUESSELDORF (AFX) - Nokia Corp is considering using its 12 bln eur war chest
to make acquisitions in the multimedia sector this year, the head of its
multimedia business, Anssi Vanjoki, said in an interview in the German magazine
WirtschaftsWoche to appear tomorrow.
"Acquisitions are always a possibility when you have the financial means.
Nokia has nearly 12 bln eur in the till," Vanjoki said.
He said any acquisitions would be concentrated in areas where Nokia does not
have scope for organic growth.
"In marketing, logistics and brand management, we do not need to buy because
we are already ahaed," he said.
"But why shouldn't we buy in (the areas of) technology or content? If an
acquisition would help us to get into a market more quickly, we will seize the
opportunity," he added.
Vanjiki said Nokia is targeting a profitable multimedia business by the
year-end, he said.

?????? could it be SPS??? Anyone going to Tokyo on the 13-16 of this month?

The counter to any bid from a predator for SPS would be a bid by ARM. The premise by which ARM is so succesful in marketing it's chips are the additional functionalities offered. One of the major benefits of the ARM 9 core processor is that swerve is essentially embedded in the chip, this enables it to run games faster than any alternatives, requires less memory to run and to store the binaries. This is also why Superscape's technology has achieved so many licenses. Arm would not let superscape go without a fight and as a major holder with around 1% of the shares and supporter of the company in the recent fundraising, the two seem to have a very close bond!

NEW YORK (AFX) -- U.S stocks closed mixed with an upgrade from Intel helping
the Nasdaq Composite hit a 29-month high while blue chips ended the session
lower, dragged down by 3M, ExxonMobil and Altria. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average was down 12 points or 0.1 percent at 10,527, off an intraday low of
10,466. The Nasdaq Composite was up 20 points or 1 percent at 2,077, its best
level since August 2001. The S&P 500 was up 2 points or 0.2 percent at 1,126.

moneyman, as SPS is a Sponsor and Mike Grant a Speaker, I would guess you're right. Fingers crossed.

Recruiter, following my visit to the EGM I can confirm that Superscape are still actively working with Vodafone whom I believe are insisting on JSR184 enabled phones from their suppliers for Vodafone Live. Vodafone are such a large company that SPS have never been able to pin them down to a press release about their partnership activities. Hope that helps.

May answer a previous question more fully.Thanks Arty from ADVFN

Moneyman,

I wonder if many investors have noticed how close the interest Nokia has in Superscapes JSR184 compliant Swerve 3D graphics technology and an announcement of a deal between them. There is an escalation of new 3G phones shipped with PSION's SymbianOS on Vodafone 3G network and the huge demand for 3D Graphical User Interface content & software for mobile personal & corporate computing and 3D Games on NOKIA phones.

Here is the the link to show how strong a position Superscape has with NOKIA!
http://www.symbian.com/partners/platinum_list.html
Superscape is a Platinum Partner with Symbian and GUI of the SymbianOS that will ultimately be worldwide like Microsoft Windows has been with PC's.

Here are the major shareholders in Symbian.

NOKIA is the largest shareholder.

As far as I can recall it was tipped in the Mail (weekend) a month or so back in addition to Shares Mag very recently. Citywire were positive a few months back. Then we had the mention on teletext at the start of the year.
Im very positive on this one. Wireless carriers like Sprint are shortly introducing 3d games. Take a look at Sony mobile and you see they provide games to Sprint and Superscape are developing SWAT on a revenue sharing deal. All the recent deals and those of last year are now coming to fruition and I expect to see an explosion of Superscapes work coming onto the market from many angles like Cybiko, Activision, Sony, Disney, THQ etc not to mention embedded games to Samsung, Siemens and Motorola to coincide with the release of their new model phones.

One has to only see the 2003 figures of 4m game downloads by Americas Sprint PCS out of a wireless subscriber base of 16m customers to see the phenonemal growth potential in content and games alone.

The Sony mobile site, when asking you to register requets your mobile number. I take it that this will be a very sound way of prompting mobile users of the latest games which may prove irresitable and will generate many new sales of games and content etc.

I wouldnt pay too much notice to Shares mag.

Most of their tips are garbage. Many have went down that i've looked at in last few months. I do not know who writes or investigates for Shares mag but i could tip and write better features myself.

Two excellent posts from iii. Thanks to Just woke up and Ride Dalce;

Day 2 Keynote Address
9 a.m. Friday, January 9, 2004, Las Vegas Hilton Theater

Gary Forsee [READ TRANSCRIPT]
Chairman and CEO, Sprint Corp.


Just one paragraph on Mobile gaming



You know, so far we' ve seen how useful innovation can educate and enlighten, but it can also
entertain. At Sprint, we' vet given customers access to wireless games and a community of
wireless gamers, if you will. That means more than 200 game choices from 18 game publishers.
Starting this month, we take wireless games to the next level by creating the Game Lobby, a
space where the mobile community of gamers can meet and compete. Eventually, Sprint gamers
will be able to earn frequent -gamer points and prizes for best scores. Starting in the second
quarter, we will introduce games in 3D with the launch of the next evolution of Java for wireless.

There is a very good chance that these will be our games.

From the EGM Bookmaker made the following observation....

"SPS got a fabulous reception from Sprint and have told Qualcomm they are their preferred vendor."

Roll on Q2.

Moving up again today.

Does anyone know what the link with Intel is? Obviously the dream solution, for Superscape shareholders that is, would be to have the Swerve client installed on the Pentium chip, now that would be a dream! Anyone care to clarify?
