Samsung to buy Sony’s stake in LCD JV

OKYO: Samsung Electronics Co, the world's biggest television maker, agreed to buy out the stake of Sony Corp in their joint venture to make liquid-crystal displays used in televisions amid sluggish demand.

Samsung, based in Suwon, South Korea, will pay 1.08 trillion won ($935 million) in cash for Sony's entire stake in S-LCD Corp, a venture formed in 2004 to make TV panels, the company said in a regulatory filing today. Sony will take a charge of about 66 billion yen ($846 million) in the quarter ending December 31 after exiting the venture, the Tokyo-based company said in a separate statement.

The deal comes as Sony, the world's No. 3 TV maker, is streamlining its main TV operation, which is estimated to lose 175 billion yen ($2.2 billion) in the year to March, an eighth consecutive year of losses. Last month, Sony predicted it will post a fourth straight annual loss after the company slashed its TV sales target and the yen reached a postwar high.

"It's a step forward for Sony," said Shiro Mikoshiba, an analyst at Nomura Holdings Inc in Tokyo. "Canceling out the venture enables Sony to become more flexible in procuring panels. Still, Sony continues to face falling prices and heavy fixed costs."

'Substantial savings' Samsung had 50 percent of the venture plus one share of their joint venture, while Sony had 50 per cent minus one share, according to the statement. The two companies have also entered into an agreement for supply and purchase of LCD panels, Samsung said in the statement.

Sony shares gained 1.6 per cent to 1,394 yen at the close of trading in Tokyo today while Samsung fell 0.2 percent to 1.07 million won. The deal was announced after the stock market closed for trading. The Nikkei reported the news earlier today.

The transaction and the subsequent agreement will enable Sony to secure a flexible and steady supply of LCD panels from Samsung, based on market prices, and without the responsibility and costs of operating a manufacturing facility, Japan's biggest consumer-electronics exporter said in its statement.

"Despite this one-time loss, Sony estimates that the transaction will result in substantial savings," starting January, Sony said in the statement.

The Japanese company lagged behind Samsung and Seoul-based LG Electronics Inc in the global TV market last year, with 12 per cent of sales, according to DisplaySearch. In the US, Samsung and Vizio, founded in 2002, had the biggest share for flat-panel televisions, based on research from IHS iSuppli.

Sony reversed an annual profit forecast to project an annual loss of 90 billion yen, its fourth consecutive annual loss.

Google: Android Activations Top 700,000 a Day

Google: Android Activations Top 700,000 a DayEvery day more than 700,000 people sign up for a new Android device, Google's Android chief, Andy Rubin, said late Tuesday via Twitter and Google+. That works out to nearly 5 million new Android users every week, which is about the equivalent of an iPhone 4S opening weekend every seven days. Rubin also clarified that Google's 700,000 activations per day includes new devices only and not resold ones. "We count each device only once," Rubin said in a follow-up post on Google+. "Activations means you go into a store, buy a device, [and] put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service."
Rubin's clarification may have been in response to past criticisms lobbed against Android by Apple's late cofounder Steve Jobs. "We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers," Jobs said, referring to Android in September 2010. Rubin on Tuesday did not specifically address the issue of counting upgrades, but did say that Google counts each device only once.
Earlier in December, Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, said there were about 550,000 Android phones being activated every day, according to CNET. But it appears Schmidt was specifically taking about phones, while Rubin only mentioned "devices" suggesting he may be counting phones as well as 3G-enabled tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab or the recently launched Droid Xyboard devices.
Rubin in June said there were 500,000 Android activations every day.
Google is the most popular smartphone platform in the United States, with nearly 42 percent market share, followed by Apple's iPhone at 27.1 percent, according to metrics firm comScore.

iPhone market share slips in Europe

NEW YORK: The long-awaited launch of the iPhone 4S has helped Apple win market share in the United States and Britain, although it is losing ground in the rest of Europe, data from research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech showed on Thursday.
"In Great Britain, the US and Australia, Apple's new iPhone continues to fly off the shelf in the run-up to Christmas. However, this trend is far from universal," said Dominic Sunnebo, global consumer insight director.
The smartphone market is currently dominated by Google , which has stormed the market with its free Android platform.
Apple's market share in the 12 weeks to end-November rose to 36 per cent in the United States from 25 per cent a year earlier and in Britain to 31 per cent from 21 per cent, Kantar said.
Its share slipped in France to 20 per cent from 29 per cent a year earlier, in Germany to 22 per cent from 27 per cent, with similar drops also seen in Italy and Spain.
"The French market is showing increasing signs of price sensitivity," Sunnebo said.
In part, the European sales of the expensive Apple model were hit by weakening economies across the continent.
Google had market shares of between 46 and 61 per cent in all markets. Cellphone makers like Samsung Electronics, Sony Ericsson, LG Ericsson and Motorola Mobility all use its Android platform in their phones.
"In Germany, Android achieved a dominant 61 per cent share of smartphone sales in the latest 12 weeks, with the Samsung Galaxy S II the top selling handset," Sunnebo said.
