Neonode: Looking Ahead to the iPhone nano
The Neonode, available only in Europe at this time, is the closest thing in the market to what the iPhone nano is likely to be. While it is based on the Windows CE platform, the Neonode folks do to that what Apple does with OSX aboard the iPhone in that the user doesn't see any part of either.
Assuming the iPhone will be the model for the iPhone nano, both phones will be mostly screen and have to make heavy use of gestures to navigate through the different functions.
Much like the iPhone, there is a bit of a learning curve involved. However, also like the iPhone, the device is fun to play with, and that leads you to discover functions you'd likely never use on a normal phone.
The Neonode, and some of you may remember I've written about it before, has many of the advantages and shortcomings of the iPhone. However, the real eye-opener for me was how much you could do on this small phone.
You would expect music to work fine -- and it does. Video, though, was the big surprise. It was actually very nice on the phone, though I missed the automatic orientation feature of the iPhone -- you have to adjust that manually on the Neonode.
One thing the Neonode wasn't good at, however, was Web browsing. This is mostly a screen-size issue, and probably one of the big things that will differentiate the two classes of device.
You can read e-mail on the Neonode, but without some kind of a keyboard accessory (which likely would be larger than the phone is), responding to it would be painful.
As a result of these two things, I expect most people will choose not to enable wireless data on this smaller class unless they want to use the phone in conjunction with their laptop computer as a wireless modem. This allows for a lower-cost service without data to be a viable option potentially lowering the cost of the landline.
Once the Neonode arrives in the U.S., it likely will be a good alternative for those wanting the iPhone nano who either don't want iTunes or don't want AT&T (NYSE: T) .
Oh, since it has a removable battery and takes a mini-SD (secure digital) card, it likely also will be preferred by those who want a phone that is a little more future-proof.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, given this is the second generation of this phone, you wonder who imitated whom (hint: the first version of this phone shipped in 2004).

Stock Alert: MTTG! August 6, 2007
NOTE TO EDITORS: The Following Is an Investment Opinion Being Issued by Stock Market Alerts.
MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - August 6, 2007) - Stock Market Alerts' performance stock list includes: Material Technologies Incorporated (OTCBB: MTTG), Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE: CRS), Precision Castparts Corp. (NYSE: PCP), Alcan Inc. (NYSE: AL).
Material Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: MTTG) has just issued additional news that should be of interest to investors. The company, a developer of advanced technology to monitor and measure metal fatigue, issued a press release this morning announcing that its new bridge inspection program aimed at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and state departments of transportation which will educate and advise governmental agencies and responsible departments on using MATECH's patented electrochemical fatigue testing process on critical transportation infrastructure.
Great news for MTTG! MATECH's engineers will advise the FHWA and state DOTs regarding the Company's bridge inspection technology which helps locate and determine whether metal fatigue induced cracks in metal bridges are increasing in size as part of the national bridge safety regime of inspection, maintenance and repair. MATECH's technology can help these agencies allocate precious resources, save repair and rehabilitation funds while helping insure bridge safety and uninterrupted traffic flows -- not to mention lives.
"Without intervention now, these cracks will spread until they seriously undermine highway safety," says Robert M. Bernstein, CEO of publicly traded Material Technologies, Inc., a Los Angeles-based technology firm which has a patented non-destructive steel bridge inspection system. The company has developed an effective method to pinpoint growing cracks. Its team of "bridge doctors," all engineers, specializes in detecting and monitoring metal fatigue in civil infrastructure, including steel bridges such as the Minneapolis, Minnesota bridge which collapsed over the Mississippi River on Friday. MATECH's mission is to provide a cost effective, technologically advanced, and accurate system for detecting minute cracks in steel structures which portend future problems. In essence, MATECH's mission is to put into effect the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." In this case, a simple inspection using the MATECH EFS system is worth millions of dollars of future costs.
Although each of the 600,000 existing bridges (including about 190,000 metal bridges) in the U.S. must, by law, be inspected every two years, they are mostly inspected visually by inspectors using binoculars or by tapping with a hammer. It can be argued that this is not an adequate means of inspection, since 90 percent or more of the cracks are completely missed with visual inspection alone, according to the FHWA. The 190,000 metal bridges include 39,000 structurally deficient and 35,000 functionally obsolete bridges identified by the FHWA and the various state DOTs. According to the press release, the potential annual revenue from these structurally deficient and obsolete bridges from EFS inspections, at an average cost of $15,000 per inspection, is about $550 million. The potential annual revenue from all the states' steel bridges is $1.4 billion
This is certainly another company for investors to watch closely!
The stock closed Friday at $1.85 a share.
MATECH is an engineering, research and development company specializing in technologies to measure microscopic fractures and flaws in metal structures and monitor metal fatigue in real time. The company's leading edge metal fatigue detection, measurement and monitoring solutions can accurately test the integrity of metal structures and equipment including bridges, railroads, airplanes, ships, cranes, power plants, mining equipment, piping systems and heavy iron.
MATECH owns the only nondestructive testing technology able to find growing cracks as minute as 0.01 inches -- critical information that allows structural engineers to isolate and repair the more than 74,000 steel bridges in the US which have been classified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete by the Federal Highway Administration.

although it somehow dropped back now to 3 and maybe back again to 2, that news made a lot of investors aware of the existence of this company...
I think the OS is still 4.35M, which is very very small, so it can really jump if any positive news comes out from the company, especially any updates on its Phase III prostate cancer vaccine candidate..
Comparison to DNDN even makes it more attractive...

My take: DCVax may hold a lot of promise, but it will be years before it is truly commercialized in Switzerland or anywhere else. I think the stock is likely to fade back to $2, retracing 100% of the recent rally, as investors wait for more news. Still, I’m keeping the company on my watch list. This fall or winter, after the company does begin making the product available to patients, we will likely see another positive press release and another spike upwards.

The tragic events of September 11, 2001, when terrorists leveled the twin towers of the World Trade Center, provided a major boost to Windswept's business. The company's largest project to this point had been a 600-worker toxic mold cleanup assignment. Now Windswept put together a team of 2,000 workers to clean a number of corporate offices and the New York City mayor's office. For fiscal 2002, which ended July 31, 2002, the company enjoyed a 34 percent increase in sales over the previous year, totaling $32.9 million. Net income grew to $3.5 million.
A sound business model, as well as the confluence of world events, allowed Windswept to overcome the shadow cast upon it in the mid-1990s, but perhaps the company's greatest asset was its CEO, O'Reilly. Chris Seniuk, a principal at a consulting firm that did business with Windswept, told Long Island Business News, "There are a lot of what are called shirt-and-tie companies who come in (to a waste spillage situation) and will give you a plan of action. Mike, he gets his fingernails dirty. He doesn't just give you a plan of action. He gets it done."

For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2007, the Copper and Stainless Steel joint venture operations generated combined preliminary revenues of over $280 million, compared to prior year joint venture revenues of $106.7 million.

.. good for SBEI Neonode
Vodafone "looks forward" to 3G iPhone version 1 hour, 14 minutes ago
Vodafone Group Plc (VOD.L) said on Thursday it was concerned that the current model of iPhone mobile phones -- Apple Inc's (Nasdaq:AAPL - news) latest "killer" gadget -- did not operate on fast 3G networks.
Amid speculation that Apple, the innovative U.S. consumer electronics group, is close to handing a deal to Vodafone's rivals to bring iPhones to European shores, the mobile phone giant said only any deal needed to make sense for shareholders.
"It's clearly a good, software-driven device, but we're concerned about wideband area coverage so that 3G (third-generation) or HSDPA (upgraded 3G) connectivity with the iPhone is something that we look forward to.
"Every product, every alterative, every choice here has a price and we just have to be conscious of what it is that we're doing for our customers and our shareholders," Sarin told a conference call after the company posted strong quarterly numbers.
Analysts expected Vodafone to be in prime position to secure an exclusive, pan-European deal to sell iPhones, which have flown off the shelves in the United States, but warned that Apple was a tough negotiator and liked to dictate terms.
Apple, whose iPhones operate over slower 2.5 generation networks in the United States, is not expected to bring out a 3G version until March 2008, analysts say. And Vodafone has invested heavily in its 3G network and services.
IPhones, which combine Apple's hugely-popular iPod digital music player, a video player and Web browser into a sleek, touch screen device, went on sale in the U.S. in June to the delight of die-hard Apple fans.
Sarin said virtually every mobile company was having a conversation with Apple, but that he could not comment further on any potential decision or announcement.

Asbestos found in dust from NYC eruption By ADAM GOLDMAN, Associated Press Writer
1 minute ago
A massive geyser of steam and debris that erupted through a midtown Manhattan street left asbestos in the dust that settled, but city officials said Thursday that tests indicated the air was safe of the carcinogen.
Tests were continuing, but the city's Office of Emergency Management said in a statement that long-term health problems were "unlikely."
Streets around the crater left after the 83-year-old steam pipe ruptured near Grand Central Terminal were still closed Thursday morning, creating near-gridlock. Streams of New Yorkers walked down Park Avenue, some wearing masks to filter the air. Clumps of office workers, BlackBerries in hand, huddled on street corners for word on whether their offices would open.
The loud, rumbling eruption broke windows and rattled buildings as the broken pipe spewed steam, dirt and debris into the air. One woman died of an apparent heart attack, and about 30 people were injured, at least four seriously.
On Thursday, asbestos contamination was the main lingering health concern, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. Some of the pipes that pump steam beneath the city to heat and cool thousands of buildings are wrapped in asbestos, which can cause fatal lung disease with prolonged exposure.
Officials quickly ruled out terrorism after the blast, but for some witnesses, the explosion, dust and chaos were frighteningly reminiscent of the scene on Sept. 11, 2001.
"We were scared to death. It sounded like a bomb hit or a bomb went off, just like 9/11. People were hysterical, crying, running down the street," said Karyn Easton, a customer at a salon a few blocks from the site of the blast. "It was really surreal."
City crews worked overnight to assess and repair the damage and to determine what happened.
Several major thoroughfares in the area remained closed. Most subway service was restored, though most of the trains continued to bypass Grand Central.
Residents in the area were to keep windows closed, and anyone exposed to the falling debris was instructed to wash carefully and isolate the clothing they were wearing in plastic bags. Eight air samples in the area around the explosion found no sign of asbestos, but six of 10 samples of debris and dust came back positive, the emergency-management agency said Thursday.
City engineers also warned that up to six feet surrounding the giant hole might be in danger of further collapse, and officials said workers would not be allowed into office buildings in a zone that covered several blocks. The Buildings Department determined late Wednesday that nearby buildings were structurally sound but some had suffered water damage and broken windows.
Officials said the pipe might have exploded under pressure caused by an infiltration of cold rainwater, or might have been damaged by a water main break.
Con Edison head Kevin Burke said the site had been inspected hours before the blast as part of a routine response to heavy rain that flooded parts of the city. He said crews had found nothing as they searched for steam rising from manhole covers or cracks in the street — indications that pipes could be in jeopardy. The steam systems are normally inspected every six weeks.
It was rush hour Wednesday evening when the geyser erupted, generating a tremendous roar as 200-degree vapor sprayed as high as the top of the nearby Chrysler Building. Steam and dirt boiled from the ground for hours.
Many people were struck by falling chunks of asphalt or rock that had been blasted out of the ground. Mud covered some bystanders. A woman who was bleeding heavily was helped by police while a man lay on a stretcher in the street.
When the steam dispersed almost two hours later, a large crater was visible in the street and a red truck lay at the bottom of the hole. Two city buses and a small school bus sat abandoned and covered with grit in the middle of Lexington Avenue.
The steam pipes have ruptured before. In 1989, a steam pipe explosion near Gramercy Park killed three people and spewed loads of asbestos into the air — a fact that Con Ed later admitted it concealed for days while residents were exposed.
That explosion was caused by a condition known as "water hammer," in which water condenses in a closed section of pipe. The sudden mix of hot steam and cool water can cause pressure to skyrocket, bursting the pipe.
Authorities Thursday couldn't immediately account for how the most seriously wounded victims of the latest eruption were hurt. Police said the woman who died, identified as Lois Baumerich, 57, of Hawthorne, N.J., suffered cardiac arrest.
She and 15 other people were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where two seriously injured patients were being treated in a trauma unit, hospital spokesman Stephen Bohlen said. Two other people were in critical condition at New York Weill-Cornell Medical Center, said hospital spokeswoman Emily Berlanstein.
Among the injured were several firefighters and police Officer Robert Mirfield, who helped evacuate 75 people trapped in a nearby office building by cutting open a gate, authorities said.

CHINA STEEL COPPER
TNRO'S STAINLESS STEEL BUSINESS REVENUE OF 88M CAN TURN TNRO AROUND
The gross profit of $4,666,534 in the current nine month period represented a gross profit margin of 3.0%. The copper joint venture generated a gross profit margin of 5.2% for this period and the stainless steel joint venture generated a negative gross profit margin, which reduced both the nominal gross profit and the gross profit percentage.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2007, the Company incurred operating losses of $3,110,769 as compared to incurring operating losses of $9,023,468 for the same period in the prior year. In the prior year, the stainless steel company was in a development stage until the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006. Therefore, the operating losses of $9,023,468 were equal to the current year development stage losses incurred at the stainless steel joint venture and the expenses incurred by the Company. The Company’s expenses are primarily comprised of professional services, management fees, travel, costs of options, and other general and administrative expenses.
AGAIN. it seems the losses for 9 months were caused by the stainless steel business because it was still in development...
but the 88M revenue could change it and give TNRO a huge profit..
For the three months ending May 31, 2007, the Shandong Quanxin Stainless Steel joint venture operations generated revenues of $88.8 million, with a total 28.3 metric tons (MT) of billets and hot roll coil sold. This substantial increase over prior quarter revenues of $1.6 million is attributed to the successful ramp-up of production at the casting mill.
Mr. Sun Liu James Po, CEO of Terra Nostra, comments, "The ramp-up of stainless steel operations in the fourth quarter were accelerated due to strong customer demand, and our congratulations go out to the management and operational teams in Zibo, China for bringing the mill to over 70% operating levels through April and May, ahead of schedule."

TNRO CAN RUN LIKE DYII IF PROFITABLE....
WATCH
$133M revenue last quarter,,,, PR did not mention if profitable or not, but if it announced a profitable quarter in 45 days, this can run like DYII or higher
Steel joint venture operations generated revenues of $88.8 million, with a total 28.3 metric tons (MT) of billets and hot roll coil sold. This substantial increase over prior quarter revenues of $1.6 million is attributed to the successful ramp-up of production at the casting mill.
Shandong Jinpeng Metallurgical copper joint venture operations generated revenues of $44.5 million, from sales of 4,643 MT of electrolytic copper and copper rod, 1,372 MT of low-oxygen copper rod, 17,876 g of gold, and 1,598 kg of silver. This represents a 12.3% increase over the third quarter copper operations revenues of $39.6 million
IF TNRO DID BECOME PROFITABLE LAST QUARTER.... THIS CAN RUN LIKE DYII
TNRO SHOULD BE A BILLLION DOLLAR COMPANY, $20 PER SHARE
