    By Adetokunbo Abiola - June 19, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, MSFT, NOK

    Nokia (NYSE: NOK) recently introduced the Nokia Lumia 925. The company made a new interpretation of the award-winning flagship, the Nokia Lumia 920. And while we are short on the sales figures, I think it will be successful. There are three reasons why the Lumia 925 will enable Nokia to have sales growth – innovation, the rising smartphone market in emerging economies, and the Nokia brand.

    By Yasir Idrees - June 18, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, NOK | Editor's Choice

    Previously, the mobile phone industry was dominated by one single player and the industry was anything but competitive. Today, however, the smartphones industry is as competitive as it could be, with some of the major players trying to adapt and use the latest technology available. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), along with Samsung, is one of the dominant forces in the current smartphones industry and even though some believe that Apple's more »

    By Phillip Woolgar - June 18, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, NOK, S

    Sprint (NYSE: S) made a major move on June 11 when it not only announced its entrance into the smartphone sphere, but that it had cracked the developing world market. 

    The $99 Sprint ZTE Vital is a high mid-range Android smartphone that has spawned a new option for those not able to afford the more expensive iPhones, Androids, and Galaxies. The move comes out of nowhere and puts pressure on more »

    By Marie Palumbo - June 17, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, NOK, SBUX

    Life is good for Google (NASDAQ: GOOG).  Google’s stock soared in 2013, up 22% from the first of the year. But all this success has attracted the attention of both competitors and the tax man. With a $5 billion fine threatened in an antitrust acquisition and the European Union calling for millions in tax hikes, let’s see if Google’s days of glory are numbered.

    By Malcolm Manness - June 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, NOK

    iOS 7 High Stakes Game – 1: The Big Failure

    On Monday, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) unveiled iOS 7, the long awaited new version of their mobile operating system, which runs their iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch products. Not surprisingly, it was initiated with great bravado, and met with both praise and derision.

  • BlackBerry to Zero (Just Not Yet)

    By Brendan Marasco - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, GOOG, MSFT, NOK

    Risk and rollercoasters. These are what come to mind when I think of BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY).

    Entrepreneur turned venture capitalist Mark Suster recently described what he believes to be the rising driving force in the market. He said:

    "I believe the greatest Internet companies created over the past 15 years have been “deflationary” meaning they are driving down the prices of goods & services. They are also driving down the margins more »

    By Leo Sun - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: CAJ, FB, NOK, SSNLF

    People usually consider Facebook (NASDAQ: FB)  a revolutionary step in expanding and maintaining social connections, which transformed the niche hobby of sharing content over the Internet into a mainstream one.

    However, many people often overlook an industry that Facebook has permanently altered - digital photography.

    By Lennox Yieke - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, NOK

    By Madhu Dube - June 11, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CHL, NOK

    For many years, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been known for innovation in its products like the iPhone, which allowed it to charge premium prices for its merchandise.

    By Adetokunbo Abiola - June 10, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, GOOG, NOK

    Smartphones are the new norm. Once, any allusion to smartphones would bring from many a reaction in the form of a commendation to Blackberry (NASDAQ: BBRY). When the company lost its market share others took over, largely based on a combination of the cost-effectiveness and high functionality of their products.

  • Tempting Markets

    By Reuben Brewer - June 10, 2013 | Tickers: MTNOY.PK, NOK, VOD

    Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) emerging market stronghold is under attack from competitors. That's not surprising because it is a leader in very tempting markets. As new entrants join the handset fray, consider looking at wireless providers MTN Group (NASDAQOTH: MTNOY.PK) and Verizon Wireless partner Vodofone (NASDAQ: VOD).

    By Marie Palumbo - June 10, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, GOOG, MSFT, NOK

    Since the iPhone’s release in 2007, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) held the enviable position as “the cool kid on the block.” And even as Apple shares plunge, I continue to hear that a turnaround is soon “coming to a broker near you.” I concede that a turnaround may be in Apple’s future, but it isn’t imminent. Not by a long shot.
