New Galaxy Tab may help Samsung lead non-iPad segment

from DIGITIMES:

>>Samsung Electronics, on March 23, announced two new sizes for its Galaxy Tab tablet PCs – an 8.9-inch model and a 10.1-inch model – and since Samsung has strong advantages in both global PC and telecom channels, market watchers believe the two new models should help Samsung achieve the lead in the non-iPad tablet PC market.

...

In comment, Digitimes Research senior analyst Luke Lin pointed out that the expanding iPad market share does not necessary mean non-iPad tablet PCs will fail.

Zurich, Switzerland - 24 March 2011

The global data centre service provider Equinix Inc. will now host SIX Telekurs Singapore’s IT infrastructure, replacing SIX Telekurs` existing Singapore-based computer resources.

“Outsourcing our data centre to a globally recognized operator like Equinix means that customers will enjoy a more rapid connection to our system and receive a greatly enhanced service,” says Paul Bollhalder, Managing Director - Asia Pacific ex Japan of SIX Telekurs. “We’re delighted by the successful changeover and the substantial added value this will generate for our customers,” added Bollhalder.

"We are honored to host SIX Telekurs at both our data centres in Singapore, providing a resilient and robust platform to enable their integration and distribution of regional information to multiple financial institutions in Asia-Pacific and throughout the world," comments David Wilkinson, Senior Director, Business Development of Equinix Asia Pacific. "Our provision of a highly available infrastructure and access to our established financial community further offers SIX Telekurs the benefit of an extended choice of connectivity and a partnership within a network-dense environment," added Wilkinson.

This investment in new IT infrastructure in Singapore demonstrates SIX Telekurs` confidence in the growth of this important financial centre. In Equinix, SIX Telekurs has found a partner to match its own exacting IT standards.

Read the whole article at Seeking Alpha:

>>Whenever a new Apple (AAPL) product is launched, people like iSuppli start looking for the components inside the device, and it's not unusual to see some key suppliers getting a positive or negative impact on their stock price due to the sales expectations generated by this leading customer alone.

Following Immersion Corporation (IMMR) requires a similar approach: the company's success depends on the implementation of its haptic technology into more and more products, and is directly linked to their sales to consumers, as Immersion mostly collects a royalty per unit sold, like in the mobility segment.
