This MAD DASH FOR CASH that starts December 18th... I've already given some sexy stock ideas but we need a technically safe option too- a stock washed out, given up for dead that no one is talking about... BUT STILL SEXY! ladies and gentlemen I give you WAVE... and more importantly I give you a division of WAVE...PV, a subsidiary of NextWave Wireless Inc.,
PV, supplies the multimedia software that enables such services as Verizon Wirelessâ VCAST music and video services, NTT DoCoMoâs 3G FOMA service and Orangeâs Orange World services. In 2008, PV will enter its 10th year of designing and delivering mobile media solutions.
âOver the past decade, weâve witnessed a lot of good technologies and services that ran their course very quickly. Increasingly, those that stick are the services that consider the end-user,â said PV CEO James C. Brailean, Ph.D. âItâs more than just streaming a song or a video clip. Multimedia services are becoming highly sophisticated and feature-rich. In 2007, ease of use became critical for a service to get any kind of traction with consumers.â
âDifferent regions emphasized different media functions this year,â said Brailean. âWith our North American customers, we launched some significant upgrades to music services, telling us that the mobile phone is gaining traction as a favored personal audio device. In Japan, we enabled DoCoMo customers to better enjoy Internet-based media with the introduction of phones fully capable of playing back virtually any Internet-based video. And our European customers asked us to create new ways for their end-users to store and manage different forms of digital content for easy access from their mobile phones.â
Some of the key developments for PV in 2007:
January â Fast Channel Changing: PV debuted its fast channel change technology, which enables users of DVB-H live TV services to change channels in under 200 milliseconds, compared to up to six seconds for standard DVB-H solutions.
February â New Digital Rights Management Options: PV was the first to demonstrate publicly the versatile digital rights management system from Microsoft called PlayReady. PlayReady, along with PVâs own digital rights management system called Secure Digital Container (SDC), enables multiple business models, including superdistribution of content and over-the-air content license acquisition.
March â MediaFusion⢠Unified Client-Server: PV introduced its MediaFusion white label client-server solution to create an integrated media on-device portal. MediaFusion will be deployed next year by multiple mobile operators. With MediaFusion, mobile media services have a more elegant and user-friendly way to search and access multimedia content while creating new merchandising opportunities.
April â PV Shows MediaFLOâs Openness: PV was the first to demonstrate publicly the mobile broadcast TV platform MediaFLO on a reference device with a third-party application processor, showing that it is indeed an open standard.
October â PVConnect⢠Links the Home Network with the Mobile Phone: PV demonstrated publicly its PVConnect media server software that enables the seamless sharing of content, such as music, photos and video, between a variety of compatible devices including mobile phones. PVConnect had a number of design wins this year, including media storage devices made by HP, Cisco-Linksys and LaCie.
November â PV is a Founding Member of the Open Handset Alliance: PV supplies the multimedia subsystem for the Android media device platform, an open-source initiative led by Google. PV is one of 34 industry heavy-hitters who founded the Open Handset Alliance.
November â PV Adds 14 New Handsets to its DoCoMo Deployments: With the release of 14 new phones, PV brought the total of PV-powered multimedia handsets deployed by its customer NTT DoCoMo to 54.
In 2008: PV was the first company to bring video to cell phone back in 1998 and plans to continue its streak of mobile multimedia innovations in 2008. Among the innovations to debut is the introduction of a new way to deliver mobile TV broadcasts to handsets, to be previewed at the Mobile World Congress show in February.
âSome industry watchers are saying 2007 was a quiet year for mobile media, but we saw it more as a transition year,â said Brailean. âMultimedia services have entered the consumer mainstream. Weâre looking forward to the launch of a number of new, flexible, and more importantly, easy-to-use mobile media services next year.â
It's a coin toss when reading about these companies but you search and search and you look for unknown gems with big customers and maybe if this company was just called " PV " it would be doing better. I'll be the first to tell you with tech who knows but this sure reads good to me...
It could fatten out for a while here at $5.50- $6.00 but don't let this get much past $7.50 before jumping on because upside looks tasty.
Stoned TARGET $ 9.00 - $ 12.00
A Nice Stocking Stuffer!
