Verizon reveals first 4G wireless tablets, phones
By PETER SVENSSON
LAS VEGAS
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9KJ56J00.htm
This year, the big national wireless carriers will be racing to stake their claims in the new frontier of service: ultra-fast data access -- for smart phones and laptops as well as for gadgets like tablets.
The companies are boosting their wireless data speeds and revving up the marketing hype. They're moving away from talking about call quality and coverage, and focusing on data speeds: megabits in place of minutes. For consumers, there are benefits in the form of faster service and cooler gadgets. Yet some of the marketing campaigns seem designed to confuse consumers about the gadgets' speed.
At the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, Verizon Wireless revealed the 10 gadgets with built-in access to its new high-speed wireless data network, including smart phones, tablet and laptops. Some are to launch as early as March.
Along with Sprint Nextel Corp.'s subsidiary Clearwire Corp., Verizon is at the forefront of the move to a new network technology, designed to relay data rather than calls. Verizon's fourth-generation, or "4G" network, went live for laptop modems in last month.
The new wireless network is the nation's fastest. Verizon is hoping to cash in on that advantage by selling tablets and smart phones that devour data.
One of the devices, Motorola Mobility Inc.'s Xoom tablet, will come with a 10.1-inch screen and two cameras: one for video chatting, the other for high-definition videos. The Xoom will begin selling by March. Initially, it will work with Verizon's 3G network but will be upgradeable to work on the speedier 4G network.
Motorola's Droid Bionic smart phone will also have two cameras, to help with videoconferencing, a data-hungry task. It will be one of the first phones with a so-called "dual-core processor" that will roughly double its computing capacity. That should help with video processing.
LG Electronics Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. and HTC Corp. are bringing out similar phones for the network. Hewlett-Packard Co. is adding 4G capability to a laptop and a netbook.
There will also be two "mobile hotspot" devices for the network: small battery-powered bricks that act as Wi-Fi access points, connecting Wi-Fi-equipped computers to the 4G network.
Verizon didn't reveal what the new devices or wireless plans will cost.
Verizon's size -- by number of subscribers, it's the largest U.S. wireless carrier -- and the quality of its network are helping it gain traction with manufacturers.
"By deciding to go early and go first to (4G), we sent a signal to the entire consumer electronics market that this technology would develop very quickly," said Lowell McAdam, Verizon's president and chief operating officer, in a keynote address at the trade show Thursday.
There's speculation that Verizon will get to sell a version of Apple Inc.'s iPhone this year. That would break AT&T Inc.'s exclusive hold on the most popular smart phone. But there was no talk of an iPhone from Verizon at Thursday's events.
With or without the iPhone, Verizon's new network is pressuring its competitors to step up their offerings. AT&T Inc. on Wednesday said it's on track to launch its own 4G network this summer. Also, it said it will start calling its current 3G network "4G," since it's been upgraded to be capable of nearly 4G speeds.
T-Mobile USA said Thursday that it will upgrade its 3G network to double the possible download speeds in two-thirds of its coverage area. It started calling the network "4G" in ads last fall. It, too, revealed two tablets for its network, to launch later this year.
Sprint and Clearwire have chosen a slightly different route to 4G. They've picked a 4G technology called WiMax that was ready before Long Term Evolution, or LTE, which Verizon is using.
Now, however, WiMax looks set to be a niche technology, while the rest of the industry adopts LTE. That will hamper Sprint's efforts to get competitive devices for the network. Still, it was able to launch its first 4G phone last summer, ahead of the competition. On Wednesday, it announced it would be the first to carry a 4G tablet computer from Research In Motion Ltd., the maker of the BlackBerry, some time this summer.
The most distinctive feature of 4G technologies like LTE and WiMax is that they're designed to carry data rather than phone calls. That makes them more efficient at serving today's smart phones, tablets and other gadgets that need data access on the go. It also makes the networks cheaper to build out and manage.
They're faster than today's 3G networks, though not by much, which makes T-Mobile and AT&T feel justified in calling their upgraded 3G networks "4G." After all, they say, speed is what really matters to users.
Aside from the bump in speed, the main reason the LTE buildouts of Verizon Wireless and AT&T significant is that they add fresh spectrum to the nation's wireless networks. That means more capacity for the growing number of mobile gadgets.
Also, both companies are using spectrum that was previously used for UHF TV channels, a prime piece of the airwaves. It can cover wide areas easily and penetrate deep into buildings. (Clearwire's WiMax network uses a frequency that has shorter range and more difficulty penetrating buildings.)
Future upgrades can further boost the speed of wireless networks. But at some point, they will run out of room for improvement. There's a theoretical limit for how much information a certain slice of the airwaves can carry. When that happens, there will still be two ways to add capacity to wireless broadband.
The government can assign more spectrum, perhaps by taking it from TV stations. But spectrum, too, will run out. The carriers can add more cell towers, but that's expensive and difficult. They can't put cell towers everywhere they'd like.
Given these limiting factors, wireless broadband isn't likely to ever replace wireline connections for home broadband, except possibly in rural areas where it's expensive to draw cables for high-speed connections to homes.
The U.S. is at the forefront in the international race to LTE. Verizon's buildout is the world's largest. The U.S. was faster than most other countries in taking back airwaves from TV stations and selling it off for wireless broadband.
Another reason Verizon has been aggressive about LTE is that its 3G network uses a technology that isn't upgradable to higher speeds as AT&T's and T-Mobile's are. That's left it with a burning need for the next network technology.
Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC of Britain. Motorola Mobility Inc. was formed this week as Motorola Inc. split into two parts. The Mobility consists of the cell phone business.

A Nice Plug for the Industry
Nano-technology Will Usher in New Industrial Revolution
Wednesday, 29 Dec 2010 10:34 AM
By Arnaud De Borchgrave
The old saw says if you owe the bank $1 million you're in trouble, but if you owe $100 million, the bank's in trouble. The same logic is being applied to the $1 trillion the United States owes China.
The Iraq war and subsequent occupation ran up bills of another $1 trillion and the Afghan war, with no end in sight, is at half-a-trillion dollars and counting.
Together, a government that's broke and a dysfunctional Congress, whose grand design is to kick the can into another year, shouldn't be surprised to see the erosion of America's power to influence events abroad.
Calling it a slide into Third World status, The Economist, still the world's most prestigious publication, points out, among scores of examples in some 30 states, that Hawaii has gone beyond laying off teachers and is now laying off students; that in Atlanta's Clayton County suburb the entire bus system is shut down; that Colorado Springs turned off one-third of its 24,000 street lights; that Camden, N.J., is planning to shutter its public library; and that in some cash-strapped locations, local authorities are giving up paved roads and returning to gravel — or to nature.
By demanding more from their political and business leaders — and even from themselves — the people will determine whether America becomes a Third World country or the "more perfect union" the Founding Fathers envisaged, The Economist pontificated.
The transition to the second industrial revolution and a more perfect union will entail radical changes in secondary education where the United States is now treading water in the middle of the global pack. Science, math, and literacy are woefully inadequate to cope with the new hybrid of chemistry, engineering, and physics.
Nano-technology is about to change every aspect of our lives and usher in the next technology-driven industrial revolution. From sources of energy to drugs to healthcare — and above all weapons — this revolution will have a greater impact on society than the first one.
It will be the cornerstone for a new innovative economy. The United States is still in the lead — barely. Germany, Japan, China, and India are moving up fast. Synthetic biology is on the verge of producing cheap, life-saving drugs, as well as innovative biofuels to alleviate the world's energy problem.
The obstacles are familiar ones — policymakers and Congress with its 200-odd committees and subcommittees for 535 members of Congress. Artificial life in a lab? It's already here but well out of congressional sight.
Irrespective of the labels still pinned on President Barack Obama by his Republican opponents in private conversations — that range from communist to socialist to foreign-born usurper — potential leadership for a new America has been subsumed in crises not of his making.
Shifting to the Middle East, few have been as optimistic about the chances of Israeli-Palestinian peace than Marwan Muasher, a brilliant Jordanian who has held almost all the important political and diplomatic jobs his country has to offer. He dismissed skeptics year in and year out. But now he has finally conceded. The time for a two-state solution has come and gone.
Muasher now says neither side can offer what the other party needs. A new paradigm is urgently needed. The United States can't escape, he says, the fact that it needs to put its own ideas on the table for there to be a serious move to solve the conflict.
The Jordanian statesman reluctantly faces up to the Israeli bottom line. 1. The Israeli economy is doing fine; 2. The wall provides almost total separation between the Palestinians and most Israelis; 3. Many Israelis don't believe the status quo is necessarily a bad thing; 4. There is no incentive or burning desire to reach a settlement.
AIPAC — the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — is arguably Washington's most powerful lobby, backed as it is by 100,000 of America's most influential and wealthy Jews. AIPAC is the self-appointed guardian of Israel's security. Anything it objects to won't pass muster on Capitol Hill.
Meanwhile, the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank has resumed as some 300,000 Jewish settlers continue to consolidate their roots. Some 200,000 in East Jerusalem, what Palestinians insist has to be their capital, continue to expand house by house.
The entire Arab world is ready to recognize Israel in its pre-1967 war borders and deal with it as normal states do with others. Israel isn't interested, which leaves the Palestinians little choice. As Muasher, the prototype of a moderate Arab, puts it, "the Palestinians can either unilaterally declare statehood (as the Israelis did in 1948), or get the United Nations to accept a Palestinian state."
While the Israeli side can live with existing conditions for several more years, Muasher says if 2011 passes without a final resolution of the conflict, the status quo won't be sustainable. A fourth intifada? "It is a clear fact that radicalism in the Arab world is on the rise (and) the gridlocked peace process is a major reason for the frustration across the region," Muasher concludes.
Frequently overlooked is this perennial conflict was — and still is — the principal motivation behind Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorism.
The second albatross around Obama's neck is Afghanistan. The obvious solution — short of several more years of stalemated fighting and diminished NATO involvement — is what some influential Pakistanis whisper privately: Obama-ditches-Karzai while Omar-dumps-Osama. The latter was done years ago. Mullah Omar was already at odds with bin Laden three months before 9/11, as he made clear June 4, 2001, in the only interview he has ever given a Western reporter.
The Taliban cannot be fought or wished away. It will spend the winter rebuilding under the protection of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, not in FATA under drone surveillance and bombing, but in the relative tranquility of Quetta Shura in Baluchistan, under the watchful eye of Pakistani agents. There is no Afghan solution without Pakistan.

InterDigital (IDCC), Nokia (NOK)
Cramer was on the lookout for orphans; speculative junior growth stocks that have yet to be adopted by analysts. His pick on Friday was InterDigital (IDCC), a mobile internet play that licenses technology and collects royalties on 50% of 3G phone shipments and is licensed by four out of five handset makers. If a company violates patent agreements, IDCC sues and usually wins, as in the case with Nokia (NOK) which is in litigation with the company now. IDCC licenses technology on 20% of 4G phones and is looking for a bigger piece of the pie. While the stock is just a point off its 52 week high, its case with Nokia will soon be settled, almost certainly in Nokia's favor. While there is a large short position on IDCC, these shorts are likely to get squeezed as the company wins more contracts. Trading at a multiple of 13 with an 18% growth rate, IDCC is a worthy speculative stock.

News
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:APNT - News) announced that following the successful completion of the research and development portion of its agreement (see press release of January 4, 2010), its sporting goods partner has exercised its option to license its CNT composite technology for use in golf club shafts. This agreement follows the previous license agreement for tennis and badminton racquets that was signed in October 2008, with the same manufacturer.
This license agreement grants the sporting goods manufacturer the exclusive right to use Applied Nanotech's CNT composite technology in the manufacture and sale of golf club shafts in Japan and Taiwan, and the nonexclusive rights to sell the product on a worldwide basis. In exchange for this license, ANI will receive an upfront royalty payment in December 2010, and an ongoing royalty based on sales of the sporting good manufacturer's products using the technology. We expect that our partner will have products on the market in early 2011 and publicize those products prior to their introduction.
"Working together with our partner, we have achieved considerable improvement in the flexural strength of FRPs, which is equivalent to the realization of better than 10% lighter products while preserving their mechanical strength," said Dr. Zvi Yaniv, CEO of Applied Nanotech, Inc. "These results will allow our partner to introduce new and improved products in the market and we expect these products to be introduced in early 2011."
"This agreement will further increase our profitability in 2010, which was previously discussed in the November 15, 2010 shareholder letter posted on our website," said Doug Baker, CEO of APNT. "We are pleased to complete this important agreement and look forward to having this first product using our technology in the marketplace generating royalties. More importantly, we expect several products from various partners to hit the market and generate recurring royalties in 2011."

Press Release Source: Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. On Tuesday November 30, 2010, 9:25 am
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:APNT - News)announced the introduction of EXCLUCENT(TM) , one of the most suitable potential replacements for ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) coated substrates currently used for multiple applications such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic LED (OLED) displays, solar cells, touch screens, transparent antistatic and EMI shielding protectors, as well as substrates for the very promising growing industry of solid state lighting.
EXCLUCENT(TM) substrates on flexible transparent PET (polyethylene-terephthalate) utilizing copper-based metallic mesh are currently in volume production by an overseas manufacturer and are available for sale by Applied Nanotech, Inc. ("ANI"). ANI can provide sample EXCLUCENT(TM) substrates and, if necessary, develop specific applications together with potential users.
The industries currently utilizing ITO recognized some time ago that ITO is extremely problematic - suffering from price volatility and sustained high cost. Lately, the market place is constrained by a limited worldwide availability, and a resulting very high price of indium, and potentially tin in the future.
Industries have been searching to find alternatives to ITO such as transparent conductive oxides, polymers, carbon nanotube inks, but at this stage these technical approaches could not achieve the desired properties of very low electrical sheet resistance (EXCLUCENT(TM) achieved a sheet resistance lower than 0.1 Ohm/sq., which is tenfold lower than the best ITO coated substrates) and transparency better than 80% including the transparency of the substrate itself.
Although metallic mesh based electrically conductive transparent substrates were introduced into the market using silver meshes, the EXCLUCENT(TM) product uses copper. ANI is currently developing methods to apply its copper ink product Cu-i70, a product that won a 2010 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine (see press release of July 9, 2010), to a variety of transparent substrates as a potential ITO coating replacement.
EXCLUCENT(TM) will be introduced to the public for the first time at the Applied Nanotech booth at the Printed Electronics USA 2010 conference in Santa Clara Convention Center November 30-December 2, 2010.
"This is another step forward for ANI in its transition from a nanotechnology R&D company to a leading nanotechnology commercialization company," commented Dr. Zvi Yaniv, CEO of Applied Nanotech, Inc.

Thank you, kind sir.
FYI - I just posted this on the RB Board. Hope it clarifies another perspective on the SAM license....
DP, It appears that the Samsung (SAM) deal has stirred up a lot of dust on both boards. I'd like to give you a little different take on it.
First, SAM is the largest industry in South Korea. Partially because of their size and clout, they also have a highly checkered ethical past.
I have a history with them thru an investment in a Mobile Patenting (over 7000 patents) firm called Interdigital Technology,(IDCC,) located in PA. Their patents are in every Mobile phone produced, and they have under license, over 50% of the entire market.
SAM was part of Mobile Phone consortium called MENS (Motorola, Ericcson, Nokia, and SAM) that, about 7 to 8 years ago, mutually decided to place a 5% cap on all royalties that they'd pay for their phones. NOK lead the charge, 8 years ago, in litigating with IDCC over their patents, later joined by SAM. Last year, after 7 to 8 years of no payments from MENS, the suit finally got to the ITC, (where an adverse decision would get their phones banned from the USA.) SAM settled with IDCC right before the decision. (NOK and IDCC are in the appeal process right now)
My point is, that Big Guys like SAM can easily use your patents without paying you, and beat you into submission using long term (and very expensive) litigation. Our company, APNT, wouldn't stand a chance in defending against a SAM. That we got almost 4 million from SAM, and a license with them for 150 of our patents, would be considered a miracle by any IDCC shareholder. Particularly, for technology that our Board considered lessening in importance to us.
And for those calling for a News Release, or a Conference Call, what was wrong with the Shareholder Letter that explained everything that would have been in a News Release?
Sorry guys. Knowing the player that licensed with us, I'm delighted that almost $4 million is in our bank. We're fortunate it didn't go another way.

Apple Readies Verizon iPhone (made by Asustek and Pegatron? See Bold)
By YUKARI IWATANI KANE And TING-I TSAI
AT&T Inc. is about to lose its lock on the iPhone.
Apple Inc. is making a version of its iPhone that Verizon Wireless will sell early next year, according to people familiar with the matter, ending an exclusive deal with AT&T and sharpening the competition with Google Inc.-based phones.
Walt Mossberg and Marcelo Prince discuss the possible benefits and drawbacks of having the iPhone on Verizon's wireless network, including whether it will suffer some of the same problems that have plagued AT&T. Plus, Verizon readies 4G service.
While Apple is on track to sell 40 million iPhones across the globe this year, the touchscreen handset is facing pressure in the U.S. from phones running Google's Android software, which have been heavily promoted by Verizon Wireless, the biggest U.S. carrier by subscribers.
Apple plans to begin mass producing the new iPhone by the end of the year, and it would be released in the first quarter of 2011, these people said. The phone would resemble the iPhone 4 currently sold by AT&T, but would be based on an alternative wireless technology used by Verizon, these people said.
The new iPhone spells the end of the exclusive arrangement that AT&T has had since 2007, when Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone. Since then, the iPhone fueled much of the AT&T's growth.
Verizon Wireless has been meeting with Apple, adding capacity and testing its networks to prepare for the heavy data load by iPhone users, according to one person familiar with the matter. The carrier is seeking to avoid the kind of public-relations hit that AT&T took when the boom in data-hungry iPhones overtaxed its network, especially in New York and San Francisco.
The iPhone is finally coming to the Verizon wireless network as Apple gears up to produce a CDMA version of its popular smartphone that will be available in the first quarter of next year. Marcelo Prince and Julia Angwin discuss.

The move would give consumers more choice in terms of networks and perhaps pricing. Verizon's network is untested in terms of whether it can withstand millions of iPhone users, but studies by Consumer Reports and others have concluded Verizon has a better network than AT&T. Verizon also still offers unlimited Internet data plans.
Apple is facing increasing pressure to find new avenues of growth in the U.S. market as most AT&T customers who wanted the iPhone have now bought them. Meanwhile, phones running Google's software—built by Motorola Inc., HTC Corp. and others—have surged this year.
Android smartphone subscribers in the U.S. reached 10.9 million as of August, from 866,000 a year earlier, according to comScore Inc., a market research firm. In comparison, there were 13.5 million iPhone subscribers at the end of August, up from 7.8 million last year, comScore says.
[APPLE-front]
Separately, Apple is also developing a new iPhone model, said people briefed on the phone. One person familiar said the fifth-generation iPhone would be a different form factor than those that are currently available, said one person familiar with the new iPhone plan. It was unclear how soon that version would be available to Verizon or other carriers.
At a press conference Wednesday, Verizon Communications Inc. President Lowell McAdam declined to comment on whether his company would soon sell an iPhone. "At some point our business interests are going to align," he said, referring to Apple. "I fully expect it, but I don't have anything to say."
A spokeswoman for Apple declined to comment. The Wall Street Journal in March reported on Apple's plans to build an iPhone that works on code division multiple access, or CDMA, technology used by carriers like Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp.
Toni Sacconaghi, a Sanford Bernstein analyst, estimates Verizon could add more than 10 million U.S. iPhone customers, adding it could help stem the rapid adoption of devices that run Android.
[APPLE-jump]
It was unclear whether Sprint Nextel and CDMA operators in countries such as South Korea, Japan and Latin America would get the CDMA iPhone as well.
Many Verizon customers have been clamoring for the iPhone for years. "This is the longest running tease in the history of consumer products," said Garret Bedrin, a 31-year-old Apple fan in Glen Rock, N.J., who plans to buy a Verizon iPhone as soon as it's available. "As loyal as I am to Apple, I won't leave Verizon," he said.
John Donovan, AT&T's chief technology officer, wouldn't comment on whether AT&T is losing exclusivity next year but said iPhone buyers would have reason to chose his network over Verizon's. AT&T's network lets users browse the Web while making calls, while Verizon's can't, he said.
"It's not like we sit around and don't prepare for the future," Mr. Donovan said in an interview Wednesday, noting AT&T also has compelling offerings in Android phones, as well as Research In Motion Ltd.'s new BlackBerry Torch.
AT&T has been taking steps all year to answer concerns about a loss of exclusivity, adding new phones to its lineup. It has also said more than four-fifths of its contract subscribers are on family or business plans, which make switching to a new carrier more burdensome.
Apple's CDMA iPhone is being made by Pegatron Technology Corp., the contract manufacturing subsidiary of Taiwan's Asustek Computer Inc., said the people briefed on the matter. A spokesman for Pegatron declined to comment.
Apple originally decided against developing a phone for Verizon to focus on a version based on GSM, a more prevalent mobile technology used by AT&T and most mobile operators in the world, people familiar with the decisions have said.
Verizon, in those earlier discussions, balked at Apple's requirement that Verizon not allow its retail partners to sell the phone, people familiar with the discussion said at the time. Verizon also declined to give up its ability to sell content like music and videos through its proprietary service, these people said.
This time around, Apple considered a dual-mode phone that would let users roam on GSM-based networks, one of the people briefed said. But the company ultimately went with a device that would only work on a CDMA network. Qualcomm Inc. is providing a key chip set for the new iPhone, according to a person familiar with the matter. A spokeswoman for Qualcomm declined to comment.

Clearwire Clears Logistical Hurdles In New York 4G Rollout
* OCTOBER 28, 2010, 3:16 P.M. ET
By Roger Cheng
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Clearwire Corp. (CLWR) has recently accelerated the local deployment of its fourth-generation network, turning on a new 4G cellular site every 90 minutes as it races to get the service ready for the New York area.
On Monday, New Yorkers with an Evo 4G or Epic smartphone will be able to tap into the 4G network, which Clearwire claims is three to six times as fast as a 3G wireless connection. The 4G service will be available throughout New York City and the northern part of New Jersey.
New York represents a crucial market for Clearwire, with its network available to 11 million people. It's also the first of the major media markets to get coverage, with San Francisco and Los Angeles getting the service in December, as the company hopes to stay ahead of rival 4G services. But it has had to go out of its way to connect New York, underscoring the difficulties behind building a brand new network in large cities with densely populated areas crowded with glass and steel towers.
Clearwire opted to deploy in smaller cities initially before moving to larger, more high-profile markets, a decision that caused some tension with majority shareholder Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), and may have opened the door for Verizon Wireless to steal its 4G thunder. But with New York, and specifically Manhattan, Clearwire had to put more thought into the deployment.
"Manhattan is a tough market," said John Saw, chief technology officer for Clearwire. "We actually had to adopt a number of new design methods."
Clearwire has had to put up more than 1,000 new cellular sites. To ensure better coverage indoors, the company also deployed hundreds of small radios known as picocells as an additional layer of coverage that Saw said was unique to Manhattan. The company also positioned several of its cellular sites and antennas upward to ensure better coverage on the top floors of skyscrapers.
In addressing the lack of a backhaul connection, or the link between a cellular site and the central network, Clearwire opted to use microwave dishes instead of the more expensive route of connecting each individual site to a physical fiber-optic network. By stringing together multiple dishes on rooftops, the company can create a backhaul line over the air, tied by fewer lines.
Clearwire declined to comment on how much the company has spent on its deployment of New York.
Some question Sprint and Clearwire's lead in 4G. Verizon Wireless said it plans to turn on its own 4G network by the end of the year, which includes New York.
"We know they'll be on our heels quickly," Sprint Chief Executive Dan Hesse said Wednesday.
Saw believes Clearwire will continue to hold an advantage because of the number of products that can run on its network, including smartphones such as the Evo 4G, laptop aircards and WiFi hotspot devices such as the Overdrive.
Verizon Wireless says it will initially offer laptop cards, but will have half a dozen smartphones and tablets on the 4G network next year.
Also, Clearwire isn't implementing any limits on data usage, which AT&T Inc. (T) has already imposed, and which Verizon Wireless is pondering. The average Clearwire customer uses about 7 gigabytes of data a month, according to Saw, who added that he expects the same kind of usage from New Yorkers.

What has ANHI/APNT and DuPont been working on together???
(DuPont was mentioned during ZY's presentation at the ASM)
DuPont Launches Kevlar® XP™ for Hard Armor Applications
October 21, 2010 11:00 AM EDT
New Innovation Builds on DuPont Science to Protect People
"Wilmington, DE (Vocus) October 21, 2010 -- DuPont has launched Kevlar® XP™ for Hard Armor to provide extra protection and extra performance in ballistic applications. The product is initially targeted for military and police helmets, and tactical plates used in ballistic protective vests.
An Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) used by the U.S. military today can weigh almost four pounds. DuPont™ Kevlar® XP™ for Hard Armor provides a half pound (0.5 lb.) reduction in weight, which is vital to operating in stressful physical environments where moving quickly and efficiently is critical to protecting soldiers and marines.
For other helmet and tactical plate designs, Kevlar® XP™ for Hard Armor can offer 20 percent higher ballistic performance and increased protection, without sacrificing other performance requirements.
“DuPont is committed to protecting people around the world through science-based innovations. One of our goals is to provide the U.S. military with new products that provide significantly better protection for soldiers so they can more effectively complete their missions,” said Thomas G. Powell, president DuPont Protection Technologies. “The U.S. military was looking for a lighter weight helmet option and DuPont developed this new product in less than a year. Using our integrated science and more than 40 years of experience, we were able to offer a solution that not only addresses the military’s needs to ‘lighten the load,’ but also to better protect the lives of those who protect us.”
Developed under the Kevlar® XP™ platform, the increased ballistic protection offered by Kevlar® XP™ for Hard Armor makes the new system usable in a variety of ballistic applications, including but not limited to military, law enforcement and homeland security segments. The new product was developed at DuPont’s Armor Technology Center in Wilmington, Del. This facility leverages DuPont’s integrated science capability, focusing on the latest innovations in life protection technologies to design, produce and test prototypes of helmets and composite panels for helmet and vehicle armor applications.
Kevlar® fiber has been a critical component of providing protection for the military in helmets, vests and vehicle armor for more than 30 years, and is widely used in the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) worn by U.S. troops today.
The patent-pending Kevlar® XP™ for Hard Armor is a combination of DuPont™ Kevlar® KM2 Plus fiber and a new thermoplastic resin that creates an entire matrix system, improving upon the original Kevlar® technology. Kevlar® KM2 Plus, a precursor to Kevlar® XP™ for hard armor, will be produced at DuPont’s new $500 million Kevlar® facility currently under construction near Charleston, S.C. The site, which is expected to be fully operational by the beginning of 2012, will produce Kevlar® fibers for the military, law enforcement and other industrial applications, and will help increase worldwide production of Kevlar® by 25 percent.
This launch reflects DuPont’s commitment to protecting people and the environment though innovative protective apparel, building materials, safety training and environmentally sensitive and sustainable solutions."

Applied Nanotech Composite Program to be Presented at Army Science Conference
Austin, Texas – July 29, 2010
“The Army Science Conference features presentations that are judged as best among those submitted. We are pleased that ERDC-CERL chose to submit our project as a topic and to be part of the team selected to present the results of our efforts in improving ballistic panel performance using nanocomposite materials” says Dr. Zvi Yaniv, President of Applied Nanotech, Inc....
...Ballistic panels are finding increased use as a component in layered protective systems used as fragmentation layers to prevent shrapnel and projectiles from penetrating into areas occupied by troops. A ballistic panel is a composite material made from woven fiberglass fabrics and polymer materials. An improved composite panel material with better bullet resistance to achieve similar performance with a lighter weight panel would benefit the US Army by lowering the weight and volume of material needed to protect critical infrastructure, both domestically and abroad. The team of researchers from US Army ERDC and Applied Nanotech, Inc. will present preliminary results on their effort to improve the ballistic performance of composite panels by incorporating carbon nanotubes in the composite polymer resin. The work is still in progress but the initial results show promise of improved ballistic performance.
“I am pleased that our nanocomposite materials continue to find new markets and are leading to products that will help protect critical infrastructure for both military and civilian applications,” said Doug Baker, CEO of ANHI."

Applied Nanotech (OTC-BB: APNT) Makes the Move from Research to Commercialization
By Justin Kuepper · Monday, October 25th, 2010
(from theotcinvestor.com)
Applied Nanotech Holdings Inc. (OTC-BB: APNT), a “pure play” nanotechnology company facilitating product development in important high-growth industries of cleantech, healthcare, defense and more, whose technologies are in the same market as companies like Dupont (NYSE: DD) and Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE). Applied Nanotech is entering a period of accelerated growth resulting from the introduction of a number of breakthrough products powered by its technology.
Applied Nanotech Holdings Inc. (OTC-BB: APNT) is focused on solving technical challenges at the molecular level and rapidly transforming nanotechnology innovations into market-leading products covering a wide range of industries. The company’s three-pronged business model is focused on R&D services, IP licensing and subsidiary or joint venture relationships to commercialize products using its technology – a phase it is just now starting to enter.
Nano Inks Reduce Costs, Improve Margins
Applied Nanotech has developed unique metallic inks that can be printed onto circuit boards in order to save money and boost margins for electronics manufacturers. Instead of using molds and etching metals onto circuit boards, the company’s inks can be rapidly and accurately printed using inkjet or aerosol printers onto a variety of different materials, including those that are very fragile.
The program to develop these metallic inks initially stemmed from Ishihara Chemical in Japan for the development of inkjettable copper inks for use in the PCB industry, where it will receive 4% of Ishihara’s revenues from the sale of inks as royalties when it is rolled out. Now, the company is under contract with several other parties to build similar technologies for other applications. For instance, the Department of Energy (DOE) is interested in using aluminum inks for use in making cheaper solar wafers and recently awarded APNT a $1.6 million grant to establish a pilot manufacturing plant for alumimum inks to be used in solar cell production.
Nano Materials Enhance Sporting Good Technology
Applied Nanotech has also developed unique nano materials that will be used in products ranging from tennis rackets to golf clubs. Using carbon nanotube (CNT) technology, the company has created composite material that results in extremely strong tennis rackets and golf clubs that use 20% less material, resulting in a weight reduction. As a result, sporting good product manufacturers can realize lower costs and higher margins on their product lines, while providing products with improved performance characteristics.
Other applications for this technology are apparent in aerospace and any other industry that demands lighter materials which are still extremely robust. For instance, the firm currently has a contract with the U.S. government to develop this material for ballistics applications, while the same technology could also be used to enhance government buildings essentially rendering them bulletproof.
Enormous Markets Could Generate Near-term Revenues
The market for conductive inks and reinforced CNT material is enormous and growing as consumer electronics and materials continue to grow in popularity. Applied Nanotech is poised for rapid revenue growth with several near-term product launches.
The company expects its partnership with Ishihara to begin producing royalty revenues in early 2011, when Ishihara introduces its copper inks. In addition, its sporting goods partner is expected to also introduce products that will generate royalties for APNT in 2011. Meanwhile, the completed technology can then be taken into new billion dollar markets through joint ventures and other partnerships. As a result, this is one stock that growth investors will want to watch closely over the coming months…
4G World: Sprint Ready to Play 'Leapfrog'
October 21, 2010 | Dan Jones
CHICAGO, 4G World -- Sprint Nextel Corp. (NYSE: S) is working on a new base station platform, codenamed "Project Leapfrog," that would allow it to inexpensively improve coverage across its various networks and reduce the amount of roaming fees it pays to other carriers, LR Mobile has learned.
Several sources here say Sprint wants a base station platform that can support CDMA, 3G EV-DO, WiMax and possibly Long Term Evolution (LTE) in the future so it can cheaply build out multimode coverage across the US.
Our sources say this will have a two-fold benefit for Sprint. The operator can reduce the amount of roaming fees that it is currently paying to carriers such as Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular Corp. (NYSE: USM) while getting to switch off more of the legacy Nextel Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTL) towers that it has in its network.
It is not clear what role LTE will play in the project. Sprint is expected to test twin-channel frequency-division duplexing (FDD) LTE in 2011, which would be more akin to the type of technology that Verizon Wireless is using for its deployment. (See Clearwire Plans LTE Tests in the Fall.)
Such a move to LTE could, however, make more sense of the dual-mode LTE and WiMax chipsets that silicon vendors such as Beceem Communications Inc. and Sequans Communications plan to introduce next year. Sequans hasn't officially announced its LTE-WiMax chipset yet but does have one in the works for sometime in 2011; Beceem's silicon should arrive in the first half of the year.
LR Mobile asked Sprint's WiMax partner Clearwire LLC (Nasdaq: CLWR) about the project on Wednesday afternoon. CCO Mike Sievert said he had heard of the project and knew it as a "low cost, multimodal" effort but didn't have any further details.
Sprint's Scott Lane, director of 4G product marketing, offered a "no comment" here at the show.

Good, on ya FISH.
Another consideration might be the "possibility" of a new set of Taxes next year that would (heavily) diminish their gains from a 2011 sale.
It's sure being considered in my house!!!!
Fish, "garnish??"
We all wish you could!!! Think you might have meant "garner?"
