Apple iPad Sales May Approach 7 Million in 2010, Says Report

March 9th, 2010 | No Comments

General expectations of the Apple iPad’s level of success are overly pessimistic, says a Broadpoint AmTech report, which predicts 2010 sales of up to 4 million units, or actual unit shipments of up to 7 million. An analyst suggests that getting a little quality time with the iPad will convert naysayers.
– Think the Apple iPad is nice enough, but no show-stopper?

Don’t be too quick to judge, Broadpoint AmTech analyst Brian Marshall wrote in
a March 9 research note to investors, predicting that the next major catalyst
for a rise in Apple shares will be the iPad launch.

Google Building Hardware Business Around Nexus One, Webstore

January 10th, 2010 | No Comments

Google wants to build big mobile hardware margins from the Nexus One smartphone and future Android-based devices, such as netbooks and tablets, said BroadPoint AmTech analyst Benjamin Schachter. He believe Google desires to build up a mobile hardware business around the Google Webstore. This would ideally be icing on the cake to Google’s current mobile search and display ad model. Schachter said it will not state this goal because it fears damaging the powerful brand Google has cultivated over the last decade.

Analyst: Google Phone Won’t Ding Apple’s IPhone

November 19th, 2009 | No Comments

BroadPoint AmTech analyst Mark McKechnie said a Google smartphone made by one vendor would be preferable to devices that pair hardware from Motorola, HTC and others with software and services from Google. The analyst said a Google phone would be a fine growth opportunity for the search engine as it seeks to extend its tendrils on the mobile Internet. Apple, by virtue of its singular choke point for hardware, applications and services, is best positioned to weather any Google phone attack. Mckechnie expects 37.3 million iPhones will be sold worldwide in 2010, and said Apple could double its market share within a few years.

Motorola Cliq Joins Google Android Smartphone Club

September 11th, 2009 | No Comments

Motorola introduced the Cliq, its first smartphone running the Google mobile operating system, Android, on Sept. 10. Motorola, which has a comfort zone in the middle of a market that’s currently seeing growth at its extremes, could use a big win, and analysts believe Android could help provide it.

Carriers are looking for an answer to Apple and the iPhone. What Google can bring to [Motorola] is not only a good OS and good mobile environment but also a tremendous number of developers who are going to want to develop for them, said Broadpoint AmTech Mark McKechnie.

The Cliq, which will be exclusive to the T-Mobile network in the United States, features a 3.1-inch touch-screen, a slide-out four-row QWERTY keyboard, a full HTML browser, and 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. It’s also Motorola’s first device to feature MotoBlur, a syncing feature that makes the Cliq, according to Motorola, the first phone with social skills. By Michelle Maisto
