Nice RYAN...
Google finally put NEOM back UP...excellent.
After all of that beeeeeeeeetching.
Don't know about the latter part of your post.
This PR should definitely raise the PPS of NEOM.
However, I don't see it on Yahoo Finance.
And of course, the EVIL Google Finance is NOT showing cuz of NEOME.
WE ALL NEED TO PUSH THIS OUT...COME ON GUYS!
Lets start working on those Finance message boards.
Marketing Gimmick!
Article from earlier in the year pushes the NeoReader app.
http://www.bbgeeks.com/blackberry-applications/reading-barcodes-on-your-blackberry-881822/
Your Blackberry 8900 has a 3.2 MP camera...that's probably why you aren't having much issues taking barcode pics. 3G has 2 MP so I complain at times if the image was too small or not clear. Autofocus and Macro capabilities for the new 3Gs will make it much better to take more detailed pics for NeoReader or other barcode readers to read.
I'm sure down the road every smartphone camera will be getting better and better...soon enough these cameras will have optical zoom to enhance farther images. Just like your personal home digital camera...takes time to advance. You can't just jump into a Ferrari from a Focus. You have to step into a Cadillac, then Corvette, then sell GM stocks to buy GMGMQ, then sell GMGMQ after a couple weeks, then buy a Mercedes SL55 AMG, and then finally a Ferrari F450...after that you'll get to a Porsche Carrera GT.
WOW, gotta stop dreaming...my dreams always involve NEOM blowing UP...finally... =P
BRING IT!
Prinovis is BIG!
Q1 2008, they generated $641.7 Million EUROS.
I wonder what their Q1 2009 revenue was at?
1 USD = 0.7162 EURO
U do the math
http://www.axelspringer.de/dl/21111/zb_q1_08_e.pdf
That's because you are using the Direct approach which only helps you advertise your website...which is FREE.99
However, IF you want to take full advantage of this 2D barcode, then you might want to take the Indirect approach which will cost you MONEY w/ NEOM. The full advantage will bring you massive data from your potential customers. The Indirect approach is like having people write their INFO on those cards at the shopping mall to WIN YOURSELF a NICE NEW CAR!!! =P Instead of paying those marketing companies at the mall like $30 G's for people's personal information...you will have it at a click of a button online. Much more direct and so much easier.
This is what I assume is going to happen or happening.
That is NOT 100% correct Ryan.
Not every camera phone can take a good picture of a 1D/2D barcode. Try using your generic camera phone to take a picture of a smaller 2D barcode. Your Reader (whatever it might be) will NOT be able to read the barcode because it's just too small. Basically, this new iPhone 3Gs will allow small pictures because of the macro closeups. Also, it is 3 MP so that will help on the resolution. There are actually some smartphones that have higher than 3 MP for their camera...I think those phones should definitely take advantage of this.
Fuego,
I think upc.neom.com is used by NeoMedia's Sales STAFF or BD STAFF.
This is a very good way to showcase your product or services to new potential clients. Also, a good way to do some R&D.
NeoMedia can and will do R&D in the future.
However, I'm sure they are not doing as much R&D from previous because...lack of STAFF and also main focus on the current '048 patent situation.
Company be UP for Sale is probably the key here.
We shall find out in due time. All IMO of course.
The new Apple iPhone 3Gs has a new 3 MP which is 50% better than the original 3G at 2 MP. It also has auto-focus and 3.9 inch macro capability focus for close objects which the original 3G did NOT have.
I have the current 3G and I am getting the new 3Gs once it comes out on June 19. I even had the old 2G iPhone. The iPhone is a revolutionary product. However, there is much competition out there BUT still it's definitely the leader of the pack.
I am sure Apple will have a preloaded Barcode Scanner program since they will push out what the current market is raging about. However, I am NOT sure what program they will have. IF it is NeoReader, that would be HUGE for NEOM since that will streamline their marketing. That is going to be a tough one to pull off though. I guess we shall see. None the less, NeoReader will still be DownLoadable from the AppStore so we'll still be there.
Making your Vendors/Partners make money while you make money...that's the business way.
PT,
Sorry, you are right! Gavitec AG...NICE!!! =P

Probabaly NEVER because Google is a "HATER".
I have sent them numerous messages on this.
I am sure we all have BUT still we have not seen it changed back to NEOM. Also, there is NO Chart for NEOME.
This is upsetting to me as well.
However, we always have our trusty Yahoo.
Seems to me that Google's marketshare is dwindling.
Yahoo, Bing, etc.
Also, they are in definite trouble towards the Mobile Search world unlessssssssss...YES, wait for it...acquire or start something that will keep them KING of SEARCH once again.
srowen...
From what I believe, Nokia is not directly partnered up with NeoMedia BUT rather than with IQ Mobile. IQ Mobile is directly partnered up with NeoMedia. See below...
"NeoMedia Technologies, the global leader in mobile barcode scanning solutions, was selected by IQ mobile, the leading mobile marketing company in Central Europe, to provide 2D barcoding services for their advertising campaigns. The first campaign launched using this technology was an interactive advertising campaign to promote Nokia’s new Navigation phones in Austria, which recently conclude..."
HOWEVER, Nokia was thrilled of NeoMedia's execution on this project and they seem to want to further it down the road. Also, Nokia has noticed that their 2D Barcode reader seems to be inferior to NeoReader so that's why they were pushing the public to NeoReader for the StarTrek campaign.
This is my opinion from what I have collected so far.
Wasn't it Playboy?
http://www.playboy.com/arts-entertainment/features/know-the-code/
OR did Penthouse do it too?
Do you know of any other revenue prior to Q1 for this particular patent?
Then PT, I guess maybe the extra drop of $1.1 Million and now $715K by YA global might be extended funds for NEOM to increase extraordinary Revenue #'s. OR maybe they have already for Q2 and are just waiting to report them so then the public will know...that's one way to get a bidding war starter.
All I can think of is...YA wanting to let this puppy go. It has slowly grown up to be a DAWG and they want to give it to the next MasterSOFT...whoops. =P
You are RIGHT though. There needs to be numbers shown for any Buyer to actually come in and scoop up this company.
I really hope more news come.
I couldn't agree with you more Dr. Myke.
This WAITING is killing me...
PT,
Please read below when NEOM actually got awarded the '048 patent again. It was on 2/17/09. So NEOM basically had 1+ month to collect licensing fees for Q1. However, this doesn't seem to be something that is that transactional of a process. Well, at least not right now...maybe later. Therefore, they need more time to ramp up on the Licensing fees. Come on, it even took them till April 22, 2009 to even announce the official Licensing Program. I don't know about you BUT I know that April is actually in their Q2. Therefore, their Q2 SHOULD have way more Licensing Revenue than $10K - IMO.
http://streetstylz.blogspot.com/2009/02/barkume-wins-patent-reexam-for-neomedia.html
"On February 17, 2009, the PTO publicly announced its complete agreement with our position regarding the inventions in the '048 patent by issuing a "Notice of Intent to Issue Ex-Parte Reexamination Certificate". This terminates the reexamination completely in favor of Neomedia, since it provides that all pending claims are patentable and will publish shortly in a Reexamination Certificate. This decision cannot be appealed by EFF or any other third party."
http://neom.com/press-detail.php?id=39
April 22, 2009 for Official Licensing Program
Maybe NOT...
BUT...
What about a Patent that is a Technology break through...
Something that is going to move the Advertising Market to a new level...along w/ that, other areas of our Economy throughout the next decade?
He is a really good at dissecting things and putting them together but I didn't think Engineers were strong on debating.
What he writes...is actually very accurate to certain normal situations. As I said in the past...you don't know the future. Hence all of us being speculative. I guess you are as well but if you think your are right on this, then you would have been right about the '048 not being GRANTED by the USPTO and IT not being strengthened AND for NEOM not to succeed past your judgement AND for you to be ACTUALLY interested in sticking around iHub in regards to NeoMedia Technologies.
Seems like srowen is stuck in here just like all of us. =P
srowen...this is NOT an exercise Financial question in one of your MBA exams?
This is the REAL world and NEOM has a very special abnormal situation here. You can't pull a DEFAULT on this.
As for your input on the typical scenarios, u are dead ON.
PT...you better have meant $300 Million here and not $300K.
Right?
Yeah, and you just double your initial investment...stating that from the IPO staying at $20/share. IF it goes UP...woooohoooooooooooooo. And I am sure it will...seeing how much of a frantic this new found technology is for the FUTURE.
NP, that is exactly what I am saying or typing. =P
Because, it's hard to build UP a company when you are ONLY getting $715K in funding. Revenue flowing in - YES...BUT not at an alarming rate.
This seems to be flowing towards a SALE IMPO.
EXACTLY BE
Well, they might not need $10 - $20 Million IF they are going to bought out...
I ,personally, believe that this $715K funding is just for temporary. I mean IF YA really wants to keep the strong arm grip on NEOM and have them over them while they continue their business, then yeah, $10 - $20 Million should be seen. However, that is NOT the case right here AND to top it OFF, we have seen FOR SALE clues in many areas.
This company is UP for SALE and we are waiting waiting and waiting for the BIG SALE. I just HOPE that the sale will be in the Shareholders favor. IF you think about - we are ALSO another reason why NeoMedia Technologies are still alive and kicking..."INDIRECT"ly of course...haha
Do I hear BUYOUT?
MERGER?
SOLD to the highest BIDDER!
I am wishing here! =P
Time will tell...
Good POST 1jk1
srowen is very confident that only 1 or 2 people at Google knows NeoMedia. Obviously...that is 100% incorrect. If that's the case, then Google is a very small company. Google is enormous and within their acquisition (possibly) and litigation departments, I am sure they know who NeoMedia Technologies (qode) is. They might know all the details BUT I'm sure they have come across them since they have generated products (Barcode Scanning, ZXing, etc.) that is within their space. HELLO, this is the FUTURE!!! Of course Google is ON the ball.
srowen, you are too confident on this because YOU like all of US have no idea what is to come in the future...IF you did, either it's Inside Trading, LUCKY as HELL assumption, or you are from the FUTURE. Definitely NOT from the future or else, you would have joined Google during pre-IPO like my friend who CASHED out BIG. =P So please refrain from being so CONFIDENT on what you say since I have seen you say this numerous times. Also, your distaste for NeoMedia's bright future was not part of your initial hatred of it's '048 patent because of it's "obviousness". Maybe it's obvious that people are MAD because they "obviously" did NOT think of it first. Patent was approved by the USPTO so go UP against them...NOT US! I can see why you can tie the anger together since the whole reason why you are mad is because of people having the wrong notion of your project vs. NeoMedia's IP. In the END, I appreciate your project - ZXing...it's EXCELLENT coding and I wish you the best with it (if there is anymore to it on your personal end). Also, I'm sure you are going to do GREAT after your schooling in the UK.
SO...lets just wait and see what's happens with NEOM. If they do get acquired or become partnered up with some large corporation...ONLY time will tell. I just hope it's SOMETHING and NOT NOTHING!
Well, 1 thing I know is that from what I have recently read on some boards...someone has spoken to Mike Zima and he seems very upbeat. Supposively there is some news coming out soon...can't wait.
I HOPE SO...
Clickin'
Clickin'
Worked fine with me too...I'm using my iPhone 3G
NeoReader ROCKS!!!
Probably will not be dilution by YA IF funded by them again since they cut down from total funding of $4.4 to $1.1 Mil recently. Also, YA probably has been waiting for this moment to occur like FOREVER.
I still think that there will be an acquisition where YA will be paid handsomely for their devotion in NEOM for these past 4-5 years. Hence the 2D barcode implanted in their office window...it's like a trophy to look back at the one of your GREATEST accomplishments! =P
Lets cross our fingers now!
2 Add on this...
This stock will SOAR once everything is in place...REVENUE, FUNDING if Needed, ACQUISITION, Mobile Barcode Ecosystem functional, etc.
This can be 2 weeks to 3 years.
I think earlier than later, IMO.
The main fact is that, this is the gravy train...choooooo chooooooooo. The future is near and NEOM is definitely IN IT! They just have to stay IN and get everything rolling.
I'm at my office...filled with fluorescent lighting...pretty bright!
Light probably has to do w/ the pic coming out right.
However, I think it's also taking a good clarity pic.
I have been taking a lot of these pics w/ NeoReader so I kind of got the hang of it. Keep on taking the pics...I'm sure you'll get it.
I got this on the first try w/ my iPhone NeoReader...says this:
Code Found:
MECARD:N:Ali Karimi;ORG:On tThe MONEY sports!;TEL:6462348017;URL:http://www.OnTheMONEYsports.com;NOTE:We're on right on the MONEY when it comes to SPORTS!;;
Then Gateway
Then NeoReader pops up...
Sorry, but we couldn't find any content for the barcode that you scanned or entered.
The barcode probably belongs to a private network and the linked content isn't available.
Could be that the promo LINK is bad too.
No, what's fishy is that you, srowen, are here fighting back with your "opinion" every given time. I understand why this is because you want to correct people who you assume that are wrong.
Well...
I don't know everything.
U don't know everything.
We all don't know everything.
Hence, what we mainly say are our opinions.
I know most excel more in specific topics...
You, obviously, in computer programming.
Therefore, most people will read what you type in regards to that subject.
However, what you state is still an OPINION because it's what you think and not always 100% fact. Especially when it comes to the Finance and LAW areas...you have previously stated that yourself.
Why are you trying to correct people off this board when you should be correcting the entire PUBLIC?
Furthermore, don't you think we all should let the Lawyers deal w/ who's infringing who (or what's right) since they excel in the LAW and that's the main reason they are in Court on this particular topic...am I correct?
Just wondering! =P
I 100% agree with you in4it...
I mean this is happening constantly...
Someone points out an Opinion about indirect being the way to go and maybe even w/ some facts...
Then someone else comes in and spins it...talks about redirecting the direct to make it just like indirect.
This is the constant rebuttal I am hearing.
Let the LAWYERS deal with this because I am sure neither one of you all are Lawyers OR let alone Patent Lawyers in the current infringement case. If you are, you are Soooooooooo going to hear it from the JUDGE!
Like I said in the PAST...
Direct and Indirect are both great OPTIONS.
However, Direct I personally feel is inefficient by itself and is also secondary to the Indirect approach.
Well, the main statement is...who has both Direct and Indirect...where both choices don't cost more to play? =P
Fuego, I believe the G1 has Scanlife...see below link
http://www.g1marketnews.com/scanlife-barcode-reader-for-the-g1-google-phone
However, I am sure NeoReader will work as well.
NeoReader?
So far Nokia did it...
Why not Google?
Back on the horse and gettin' very giddy over here.
NEOM has to PR soon...it's RIPE.
Before, they just blasted PR's away like a machine gun...throw a dog 1 bone pleeeeeeeeeze
You are right Street...
I seriously see no reason for NeoMedia to go BK.
They are currently the SUN in my eyes.
NO SUN, NO LIFE!!! (chuckle chuckle)
Yesterday and Today were just some Shareholders who got scared and didn't have anymore patience w/ NEOM. However, they will feel the RAFT of it all once the GOOD NEWS do hit and the stocks soars. Time tick tocks just like how MM's strategically make big bucks!
I still believe in either a Buy Out or Merger of some sort...all IMO of course. We shall see soon I hope. The 1 thing we all agree on is that NEOM has got MAD potential! I just hope they make it work ASAP.
And who has both Indirect and Direct?
Yup, that's RIGHT! hehe
SoSo Correct HD...
NEOME.OB symbol off Yahoo Financials was from 2006...
OLD NEWS!!!
NEOME symbol off Google is new NEWS...started yesterday (5/27/09).
WHY? No one has any idea why.
We all know why they add the "E" to a stock symbol.
However...biggest question here is...
WHY THE HECK WOULD GOOGLE LET THIS BE FOR LONG IF IT WAS ACTUALLY AN ERROR ON THEIR END? It's been more than 24 hrs and counting...geez luuuweez!!!
Google is definitely on their OWN on this one...how RUDE to wipe out the chart on NEOM...it was in my portfolio.
