The new iPhone is a 3G UMTS HSDPA capable device does not have a lock-unlock mechanism. The UMTS standard, is a universal standard. By definition UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Terrestrial System. Therefore, the lock-unlock mechanism is not required anymore. The GSM-GPRS-EDGE iPhone, which was Appl’s...

Advantest has acquired the remnants of SZ from Credence, giving them power and analog testers and some incremental customers.  The technology won't be integrated into Advantest's SOC platforms - if that's why Advantest bought it, they're fooling themselves.  Credence continues the divestment...

Profitless prosperity is the meager reward for the IC industry, as tool costs escalate while chip prices fall.  It is increasingly a consumer's market for electronics and equipment providers and employees of IC companies continue to pay the price.  The solar cell industry is an ever- promising...

The current optoelectronics market for GaN dwarfs applications in the high-power electronics category, which will remain the case unless comparable GaN-on-silicon technology is enabled.  Currently, SiC and GaN are designated for high-end defense-related electronic applications, and it will...

1. New Markets will be created, enabled by the 450mm revolution. 2. Opportunity is there for new equipment strategic alliances with major chip players. 3. Smarter, simpler electronics projects need very intelligent, very large 450mm wafer-based chips.

As other countries continue to thrive on the solar boom, the United States is falling behind in solar cell capacity and adoption of panels and plants.  China surpassed Japan and Germany in 2007 as the top world producer of solar cells, and may eventually develop a monopoly over time. ...

The article rightfully points out to the increase in demand for steel products and metals in general and that countries as India, China and the Middle are one big construction site with high demand for raw metals thus increasing  prices of the benchmark products such as hot-rolled carbon steel...

With the purchase of P.A. Semi, Apple adds P.A. Semi's low-power multi-core processor design expertise to its portfolio, and it gains immediate access to Power processors that otherwise would have to be licensed or purchased from AMCC, Freescale, or IBM. This acquisition allows...

As AMD and other semiconductor companies continue to spin their wheels, lay off engineers, consolidate product lines further, and watch their executives walk out the door, leading to a major decline in revenue, hopefully they will try to replicate the Intel model for doing business in...
