A QHD display would feature a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, or four times as many pixels as a standard high-definition display. Although it is not clear which iPhone 6 model the sources are referring to, the QHD display is presumably only for the 5.5-inch model, since packing a 625 ppi display into a 4.7-inch size screen would be a difficult technical feat. Creating a 534 ppi display for the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 would be more feasible.

It's all coming together nicely. How pissed are some that are finally realizing, "oh sh*t, this is really happening". Sit back and enjoy.
Thanks but how exactly is the reduction accomplished?
So @.05 pps, we can expect to see 10million shares snapped up at some point next month? How's this work? They buy on open market right?
2nd Divy, share buy backs coming. Jackpot.
So if the 5mil is the minimum projected per month what valuation do we give the stock price here at those revenues?
Is there an online feed?
Had to end call, pretty pointless if one can't understand what's being said.
At tomorrow's SHM I'm looking forward to hearing just how big Ultraflix is and is going to be for NTEK. I'm thinking projected NP-1 sales will be dwarfed by the revenue that Ultraflix will bring in for NTEK. Won't be there but am looking forward to seeing the SHM recorded in 4K. NTEK long and strong.
Yawn. Fins by midnight kids. Mark it.
I'm no chartist but is anyone else seeing a cup and handle on the daily that looks like it's ready to explode on the eve of fins and shm?
NTEK 4/29 VolShorted 61.06%. Still closed GREEN.
Some brokerages issue the dividends before they actually receive the funds. They'll be there by end of day.
..."in 6-12 months". Will take time but I see this as a positive step forward.
Excellent analysis.
Yes, go Tim Kennedy! Go America! The guy's a decorated Special Forces vet still active in the reserve. Anyone who can't support this guy is a puke.
Low vol today. I think if we tighten that spread up and show any signs of life the "long panic" and the "bottom fishers" may decide the tide is turning here. Crossing my fingers the short volume and bid pinning continues to decrease as it appeared to yesterday. NTEK
No speculation here (below). Regardless of what NTEK PR'd besides the release of NP-1's, once this ball got rolling, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Buying pressure would halt the bid pinning, but currently, a major catalyst is needed, like the NP-1. Short term, not fun, long term, many green days ahead.
There has been a ton of discussion over the years on the subject of short-selling manipulation in the stock market.
I've heard and read many opinions on this very serious matter, but there is, in fact, a sure-fire way to combat the problem, a cure that I have not yet seen discussed anywhere.
First off, this article is not, per se, about naked shorting, which in itself is a staggering problem and, I suspect, still highly rampant in the market place, even with the SEC's recently announced efforts to go after said illegal shorters.
This article, rather, tackles the issue involving a tactic that short-sellers use to pummel the price of a stock lower, which creates panic in long-position holders, and, in fact, convinces anyone interested in buying the stock to simply wait for a lower stock price to enter. Why would any rational "potential-long" buy higher in the face of a short-raid, if he or she can simply wait for the stock to first be pummeled- and THEN buy long.
I have heard a lot of talk about how killing the uptick rule was devastating for stocks, but, in reality- this was only part of the problem.
The real problem is that shorts love to "pin the bid," which is a manipulative technique whereby short-sellers don't first wait for a buyer to come to them at a higher level, say on the ask price, but, instead, they short directly on the bid price repeatedly (called "pinning") until the bid finally "caves in."
Shorts have learned that if they "tag-team" the bid in this manner, it will, undoubtedly, cave, and the resulting bid will be pushed lower, and then lower and then lower still. With the ask price lowering in tandem with a dropping bid price, exacerbated by other shorts on the ask going lower, longs now start to panic and lower their sell (ask) price even further. Many longs then start selling on the bid itself, and, eventually, the bid is also taken lower and lower as longs panic further, and potential buyers lower their bids in trying to buy as low as possible.
Obviously, shorts don't first speak with each other in coordinating a pin-attack, but, in stocks where there is a lot of short interest, and there are (were) many, it doesn't take much for certain shorts, whether fund traders or wealthier individual traders to initiate the pin process, and for other shorts to immediately recognize the attack under way, and then pile in.
One important additional component of the pin-the-bid technique is for shorts to first "load up" at as high as price as possible, then use additional funds available to them to then force the stock lower. In other words, these shorts make money off their "higher-priced" short positions, and then make additional money in relentlessly driving the stock lower.
The key to the latter is that once a pin attack is launched, as I said, long-position sellers panic PLUS those who are looking to buy long will lower their bids to ultimately buy long as low as possible. These two resultant "panic plus bottom-fishing" motives by longs snowballs the bid-pin/downward short manipulation process. In effect: the shorts manipulating the bid downward rely on their technique to cause the snowball, thereby the shorts don't have to do much work (or spend much money during the pin) to cause the stock to sink a lot lower than it normally would have.
And, then, of course, once shorts have made enough money, they begin to cover buy and take their profits.
finwizroger, with respect, it's posts like this that give supporters of NTEK a bad image. It'll definitely get there again, but do you have any supporting facts, charting, etc. to support your claim? I do hope you are correct. GL.
Spivster, I think we still have a little more room below & a little more time to watch, especially if the bid keeps getting pinned as it has been the past few days. S1 has been tested today, S2 @.223 could be next - after that we could start seeing .01's. I got out just after the ex-div date. I'll leave my dividend shares alone for now in case I add in the next few weeks.

No pm, images straight off Internet, pm me an email and I'll help you out.
As I've said before, shorts are opportunistic and understand how to move in for "the kill". Developments in companies take time - advantage shorts. Low volume manipulation too easy to pass on it appears. Better days ahead. Here's a decent seeking alpha article showing how:

And, then, of course, once shorts have made enough money, they begin to cover buy and take their profits.
So, what can be done to solve this problem, which, I believe is rampant in the market?
Simple:
Don't ban short-selling as you need short-selling to create a liquid trading market.
Don't just re-instate the "up-tick" rule.
Instead, do not allow shorting on the bid. Period.
I'll say it again. Do not allow shorting on the bid. Longs could sell on the bid. Shorts could cover buy on the bid. But shorts couldn't short on the bid.
It's simple. And it will resolve a ton of issues that relate to downward manipulation of the market.
Logically, if short-sellers wanted to operate ethically, they would not have a problem with this. Why? Because if a short-seller truly (and ethically) wants to maximize profit on a trade, he would want to place his short at as high a price as possible and then cover-buy as low as possible. Why pin the bid when you can short at the ask or higher?
Indeed, if shorts were operating ethically, they'd want the longs to come up to them, and then rely on legitimate market forces at work, such as negative news, to fuel any sell-off.
But, since shorts rely heavily on tag-teaming a stock lower, which they could not do if they were not allowed to attack the bid, I am certain shorts would object to my simple proposal.
I would highly recommend that the SEC, Congress, and companies lobbying Congress against short-selling, such as Citigroup (C), strongly consider implementing this change. It will not result in stock prices being "higher than they should be," but it would allow for stocks to not be crushed without reason.
As for naked shorting, interestingly enough, such naked "phantom" shares might then, very well, be exposed by surveillance bots as the only short-sells that show up on the bid, as legitimate ones would be prevented from doing so at their source.
Thus, such naked bids could be isolated and dealt with immediately by enforcement.
You see, most members of the SEC, Congress and company executives don't trade, so they don't sit there looking at Level 2 on any given day watching this manipulation in real-time. It's so easy to spot.
Perhaps someone should be invited to Congress and set up a giant real-time trading screen for House members during market hours so they can be shown what goes on in the very stock market they say they want to fix and support. Then, bailout dollars-to-donuts- they'll have it fixed before you can say "Don't pin that bid, short fella.""
Short pinning NTEK? This seeking alpha article wouldn't apply here would it?
Exciting times ahead for longs, hope you held or flipped here, will regret not having tickets later. Have you done your DD (sans ihub)? My shares are locked...

Well, I must be blind then along with Akaimai, Ingram Micro, etc, etc.
If you're right I'll be the first in line to say you told us so.
Ok, but are you of the belief that the NP-1 will NEVER be shipped? If so, why?
I see. I was under the impression that you were of the belief that the NP-1 will never come out. Maybe that's still the case? Regardless of what they tried to do or how they did it, or theories and all speculation, I can't say if you'll be off the mark or not, I just don't think there is any reason to believe that the NP-1 won't be shipped.
Ok, but regardless of how you feel they handled the delays (i.e. "rotten business decision"), and the cause of the delays - I think they fully realize they need to get the NP-1 out there and they are acting accordingly. If you believe that they are manufacturing excuses and delaying the release with the intent of never releasing the product, I can't say I would be able to follow that logic based on the media products they've already released and the people they have on their management team and advisory board. It would be quite a stretch IMO.
Unfortunately no. You could have sold on the ex-date and you would have still received the dividend. Look it up.
This is certainly an alternative conclusion one could arrive at. Regardless of the opinions, one has to ultimately decide, do they think they will make money owning NTEK stock? -or not?
Yes, the NP-1 has been delayed. Old news.
Will it be released at some point?
If one arrives at YES, then do you want the stock or not? Because, if it is released and you buy at these prices, you're going to make money - mark it down, written in stone.
Knowing now, the cause of the NP-1 delays, what would lead anyone to believe that the NP-1 isn't coming? - take out the emotions from the equation. Do you think NTEK want's to fail? lol. Not a chance. It's coming, maybe not on a timeline of our liking but when it does, I think there's going to be a lot of happy campers who own a piece of NTEK.
Hindsight is 20/20. If you sold a week ago, I'd say yeah, great flip, right now not so sure. GL.
That's how the cookie crumbles as they say isn't it? I'm in the exact same boat so yeah, I'm pissed I can't grab shares right now because they are a gift at these prices knowing what's coming. I don't know that we go down further however, there is substantial support here and the next support level below (which wouldn't be fun either) appears to be stronger. It's a market, manipulated or not, we are going to fluctuate. When this thing takes off, we'll all be thankful we have shares. Hang in there.
Yes, it was that simple. Just tell us what's going on. There's no debating that there has been multiple delays, we just wanted to know why. With that being said, now that we know why, the updates are very exciting news. This is going to take some more time which I know nobody wants to hear, but as long as NTEK keeps us up to date, I'm ok with this. I'm sure with the team they have assembled there, they are making the right decisions, it just helps as a shareholder to know what they are.
Updates:
-Android 4.4
-Motion Sensing System Remote
-New Features* TBA
-Valuable Software including the OUYA game library.
The operating system will be updated at their logistics warehouse in Fremont and they are awaiting approval of the 4.4 OS release from Google. It will take a bit more time. As frustrating as that may be, at least we know why and the added features will make this an even more attractive product.
Take a deep breath boys, we're going to be fine. Have a great weekend all.
I received the same, what a relief. Thank you NTEK.
When I asked David Foley about the NP-1 being able to stream Netflix as low as 6mbps, his response was "Technically no problem. We are on talks with EyeIO to see what their final 4k strategy is but I believe by roll out Netflix will easily go that low or lower ". And a separate but related quote, "Netflix uses EyeIO and we are very familiar with how they encode files. Nobody delivers a single bitrate, and they encode at many different levels and can deliver at many different levels. The output quality depends both on the encryption and on the device decoding and delivering that signal to the TV."
I would tend to lean towards your opinion of 'no', but I am not a technician so I'm looking forward to some independent testing of the Netflix streaming bandwidth on the NP-1.
