Just going through some odds and ends here.
First time I saw the HP partnership.
http://www.hp.com/hho/hp_create/themes_partners_avinci.html
I think you are right on track there e-ore....
A specific number of mobile customers will be able to create and receive, at no cost, personalized photo products customized with their own images when they download a free automated billing application which permits mobile customers to track voice and data usage, pay bills, update data plan and services.
The carrier would have to announce who the specific number is... Or at least what you're getting with the free download.
Maybe the "major mobile carrier" will make the announcement :)
Nice!!!
Follow-up should be soon....Father's Day quickly approaching...
It is a great start. It's encouraging to see them get into mobile and social media in this way. There should be a follow up soon. ATT? Verizon? TMobile? Sprint? MetroPCS? I wonder which one. Gratifying to see an agreement with another major name :) The licensing agreement with WalMart is working for them, now another big name likes them enough to link up.

It's a great start e-ore.
Now for the audit, 10K, and maybe a little news on Gartner.
Wished I had the funds to grab a few more down here!!
Nice news t! I like it :)

Hi folks
I said that I would be in touch when I heard from Avinci.
It seems that downsizing has taken a little toll in the Public Relations department, which of course was foreseeable and most likely feasible.
I had sent a 2nd e-mail to a different address and received a reply.
I will post the reply in case someone wants the address or the phone #
Tom
Haven't heard back yet curber.
Patiently holding, believing it will be a good one once noticed.
What did they say, got a heads up from a friend last week
This seems to be a ticking event ready to explode here shortly!
Looks like they are coming out here.
Still a HOLD

Total shares 'gifted'....750,000
Richard Paulsen.....250,000 (form4)
Chett Paulsen......500,000 (form4)
What I like best is that they have a source of revenue and profits, unlike so many "down here." I also like the two Form 4's filed in late March. The principals "disposed of" a meaningful amount of shares as "bona fide gifts." I know one other stock that did the same, and I have done very well with that one :) Gotta run, see you later or tomorrow
Asked a few simple questions about prior BB status and the "want" to uplist to a higher exchange.
Asked about extension of WWE contract that I believe is nearing an end in May and the engagement of Gartner Studios and the introduction to their partners.
Sounds like a very interesting company with some very obtainable goals to me......IMO of course.
t
Thanks t. Upside potential is large, imo, especially since it's not "in play" here and very few are in it.
Excellent recap e-ore!!
I have e-mailed the T/A to see if I can get the up to date Share Structure.
I have e-mailed the IR dept. with a few other questions that I had.
I will update when I receive replies.

Why I like AVMC:
Latest news from them
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/AVMC/news
Note in the news that they expect retail sales to become a smaller part of their business. They should do $4 million in retail sales in 2011 (mostly at Walgreens and Walmart). Just four months with the new license agreement in place at Walmart doubled their retail sales for last year. And their current market cap is only $1.4 million. And what if this, from the above news, is pr'ed with an agreement with a company like Apple, or directly with Facebook?
Unlike smart phone applications or online services, users of our technology do not need any application, software or special hardware to spontaneously and automatically create, share and consume products virtually on Facebook or other social networking sites. Additionally users can create, order and purchase hard copy products at the same time as they create virtual products. Our proprietary product creation engine provides significant and measurable performance improvement over traditional product creation solutions--in some cases reducing preview and creation times by a factor of 10 times.
We are currently building a sales pipeline for our new cloud based technology and have seen significant progress in our negotiations with potential partners and customers.
(my emphasis)
Last known share structure isn't bad, A/S unchanged at Delaware as of last week.
"The number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on October 31, 2010 was 52,612,227"
"Preferred stock, $0.01 par value, authorized 50,000,000 shares:
Series A convertible preferred stock, 1,500,000 designated; shares issued and outstanding: 1,202,627 at September 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009 (Aggregate liquidation preference of $1,331,194 at September 30, 2010)
Common stock, $0.01 par value, authorized 250,000,000 shares; shares issued and outstanding: 52,612,227 shares at September 30, 2010 and 51,462,227 shares at December 31, 2009"
And this alone, without anything new at all, should make them worth a look at this price (currently .027 x .033). Very, very solid improvement in their current retail business:
· Total revenues to increase by about 122% to approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the prior year. The revenue increase is primarily due to the launch of Registrant’s archive software in Walmart stores during the third quarter of 2010 under a software license agreement.
· Gross profit to increase to approximately $1.8 million, or 75 percent of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the previous year, primarily due to the increased total revenues.
· Research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses to decrease by approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the prior year due primarily to decreases in employee headcount.
· General and administrative expenses to be lower by approximately $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense, a decrease in consulting and outside services, and a decrease in legal and accounting fees.
· Loss from operations to decrease to approximately $0.5 million (from about $5 million) for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of increased total revenues, and decreased operating expenses, as described above.
· Net loss to be approximately $0.5 million, and basic and diluted loss per share to be $(0.01) per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.
My emphases
LOL
Nice $7.15 this morning!!
I like the honesty in the filings as well. I'm not sure we'll see $1.50 like 2 1/2 years ago. But I'll take 1/2 that :)
I liked the 8K
Seemed reasonable and honest!!
Getting a little volume now.
Hi t! Welcome to another of my sleepers :) Just a matter of time, will be a good one if their plans come to fruition. And I love the revenue and 75% margin they're getting from the WalMart agreement. A nice source of cash for them. Like SSRC, it's not an ihub stock. There's very few here in it; look out when it gets noticed.
Hi e-ore
Popped in here with ya.
Another patience teaser.......I like 'em.

Hi. I'm just looking into this some. Can you tell me--with all of their partners and relationships, why are sales still fairly small and what will (if anything) enable them to grow into the multi-millions?

OCTOBER 2009 NEWS
Walgreens and aVinci Media Raise More Than $50,000 in Two Days for Breast Cancer Research and Support
DRAPER, Utah, Oct 19, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
AVMC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Walgreens and aVinci(R) Media (OTC Bulletin Board: AVMC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) have launched a very successful national initiative to raise vital funds and awareness for breast cancer research and support. On Oct. 7, Walgreens offered aVinci's My Personal Movie slideshow DVDs, which normally retail for $19.99, for only $1. Due to incredible demand for this product, aVinci Media and Walgreens generously extended this offer to Oct. 8. One hundred percent of the purchase price of this item was donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R) and Breast Cancer Network of Strength(R) and their missions in the fight against breast cancer. Over two days, more than $50,000 was raised for these organizations.
Chett Paulsen, CEO, aVinci Media, commented, "We are thrilled by the consumer response to this critically important cause. Each of us in someway has been personally impacted by breast cancer and our hope is that this donation-and more importantly the stories people tell-inspire, teach and provide hope for others to fight this widespread disease."
Walgreens divisional merchandise manager Mona Kelly noted, "A key part of Walgreens mission is social responsibility to the communities we serve. This initiative is one way we give back to our valued customers and provide the much needed support for this important cause."
One single story can inspire, teach and provide hope for millions of women and men across the globe. And whether it's a story of survivorship, or information about innovative research or complementary treatments, the power of someone's experience can have an impact greater than could ever be imagined.
Walgreens and aVinci's support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R) and Breast Cancer Network of Strength(R) reflects each organization's deep commitment to support those diagnosed and receiving treatment for breast cancer and the research efforts to find a cure.
