PRINCETON, N.J., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has published the State of Tech report with updated outlooks for Apple , Dell , Gateway , and Hewlett-Packard .

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn463

In his State of Tech report, Editor Paul McWilliams wrote: "As I've written frequently, when it comes to developing technology that people enjoy using, no one does it better than Apple. This is largely due to the fact that Apple leverages easy and intuitive human interfaces to what would otherwise be complex technology. While the press was calling the iPod nothing more than a hard disk with a go button, those who understood how people prefer to interact with technology were quick to say, 'exactly'..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- Why does McWilliams believe that Apple TV is potentially a more important product than the iPhone? Should investors consider buying shares of Apple at current prices? Is McWilliams concerned about Apple's stock option investigation? -- Does McWilliams believe that Michael Dell will be able to successfully resurrect the value of his namesake brand? -- What strategy does McWilliams recommend for investors interested in Hewlett-Packard? -- Does Gateway have any realistic upside potential from current prices?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 302% since its inception versus 91% for the Nasdaq.

SunCom Wireless Announces Preliminary First Quarter 2007 ResultsImproved EBITDA Supported by Higher ARPU, Cost Improvements and Subscriber Count

BERWYN, Pa., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SWSH.OB) today released preliminary first quarter 2007 subscriber results and an expected range of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2007 is expected to be in a range of $42.0 to $44.0 million compared with $7.4 million in the first quarter 2006. We estimate that cash flow from operations will be a positive $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared with a usage of $21.6 million a year ago.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA over the prior year period reflects a greater than $4 increase in average revenue per user (ARPU), improvements in the company's cost structure and a 113,000 increase in subscribers.

Service revenues for the quarter were approximately $186.4 million compared with $155.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increased service revenue was driven by higher ARPU of $55.70 and the increased subscriber count. The higher ARPU reflects the addition of subscribers at higher access points, and higher feature and miscellaneous revenues. Roaming revenues were approximately $22.0 million compared with $21.5 million a year ago.

"The increase in ARPU during the first quarter 2007 is strong evidence that the consumer continues to see tremendous value in SunCom's offerings and reflects the fourth consecutive quarter of improving ARPU." said Michael E. Kalogris, Chairman and CEO of SunCom.

Improvements in the company's cost structure were driven by the decommissioning of its TDMA network, efficiencies in its GSM network, a reduction of incollect expenses and the benefits of fixed-cost leverage.

SunCom added a net 33,646 subscribers on gross additions of 107,851 to end the quarter with 1,120,838 subscribers. Bill Robinson, Executive Vice President of Operations said, "The slight decline in gross and net add performance in the first quarter reflects a conscious strategy to pursue higher ARPU subscribers." In the first quarter 2006, the company added 41,292 net subscribers on gross additions of 116,315.

Continental U.S. operations accounted for 20,136 net additions with the Puerto Rico operations accounting for 13,510 net additions in the first quarter of 2007. Gross additions were 68,106 in the continental U.S. and 39,745 in Puerto Rico compared with 78,960 and 37,355, respectively, a year ago.

The results reported in this release are preliminary and subject to further review and refinement by management and SunCom's independent auditors. The company expects to update first quarter earnings to include more detailed results in early May 2007.

Our method of computation may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Both the non-GAAP and GAAP figures for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are preliminary and subject to change. The Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, reconciles the high and low of the range provided for our preliminary Adjusted EBITDA with cash flow provided by operations.

Three Range for Months Three Months Ended Ended March 31, March 31, Adjusted EBITDA (in millions) 2007 2007 2006 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 9.0 $ 9.0 ($21.6) Change in operating assets and liabilities 3.9 5.9 1.9 Deferred income taxes (2.7) (2.7) (3.3) Interest expense 38.4 38.4 37.7 Accretion of interest (1.2) (1.2) (1.1) Interest and other income (2.4) (2.4) (4.1) Bad debt expense (6.5) (6.5) (5.9) Income tax expense 3.5 3.5 3.8 Adjusted EBITDA $ 42.0 $ 44.0 $7.4

The table above reconciles Adjusted EBITDA with what management believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure of liquidity, cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA can also be calculated as net loss plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and asset disposal and amortization and non-cash compensation. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of liquidity, providing additional information on our cash earnings from on-going operations, our ability to service our long-term debt and other fixed obligations and our ability to fund continued growth with internally generated funds. Adjusted EBITDA is also considered by many financial analysts to be a meaningful indication of an entity's ability to meet its future financial obligations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Three Months Ended March 31, Average revenue per user (ARPU) 2007 2006 (Dollars in thousands, except ARPU) Service revenue $ 186,435 $ 155,467 Subscriber retention credits 358 256 Revenues not generated by wireless subscribers (2,309) (3,175) Adjusted service revenue $ 184,484 $ 152,548 Average subscribers 1,104,015 986,468 ARPU $ 55.70 $ 51.55

We believe ARPU, which calculates the average service revenue billed to an individual subscriber, is a useful measure to evaluate our past billable service revenue and assist in forecasting our future billable service revenue. ARPU is exclusive of service revenue credits made to retain existing subscribers and revenue not generated by wireless subscribers. Service revenue credits are discretionary reductions of the amount billed to a subscriber. We have no contractual obligation to issue these credits; therefore, ARPU reflects the amount subscribers have contractually agreed to pay us based on their specific usage pattern. Revenue not generated by wireless subscribers, which primarily consists of Universal Service Fund program revenue, is excluded from our calculation of ARPU, as this revenue does not reflect amounts billed to subscribers. ARPU is calculated by dividing service revenue, exclusive of service revenue credits made to existing subscribers and revenue not generated by wireless subscribers, by our average subscriber base for the respective period. For quarterly periods, average subscribers is calculated by adding subscribers at the beginning of the quarter to subscribers at the end of the quarter and dividing by two.

LEXINGTON, Ky., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PC World, a leading technology publication, recently ranked the Lexmark C500n and the Lexmark C530dn in the top five of its Top 10 Color Laser Printers list. The printers were chosen based on print quality, speed and price.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020819/LEXMARKLOGO )

"Lexmark's line of color laser printers offers high quality, reliable performance for businesses ranging from the small office to the large enterprise, giving them affordable access to color printing capabilities," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "We are pleased to receive this recognition from PC World."

Priced at just $349* with fast speeds of up to 31 pages per minute (ppm) in monochrome and 8 ppm in color, the Lexmark C500n can easily serve as the primary printing device for customers who require color but also print large volumes of black and white documents. The Lexmark C500n also comes standard with networking so the printer can easily be shared by several users in a small workgroup, reducing the cost of maintenance and supplies.

"The Lexmark C500n prints fast, high-quality text at a competitive price," PC World said. "Text print quality was superb in our tests."

The Lexmark C530dn prints up to 22 ppm in color and up to 24 ppm in monochrome and comes standard with two-sided printing to reduce paper waste and drive down costs.

Raytheon Receives $13 Million in Army Contracts for Patriot Missile Facility Support

TEWKSBURY, Mass., April 13, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company received two contract modifications totaling $13 million from the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command to continue to provide technical and material support of the Patriot Missile Field Surveillance program in the United States and at overseas locations.

The contract modifications, which include options for up to $12 million, call for Raytheon to provide technical personnel and material to support the processing of Patriot missile rounds and the operation of the Patriot missile facilities, missile assembly/disassembly facilities and the Patriot missile transmitter facility. The modifications exercise $13 million in options for 2007 against the basic 2005-2006 contract award that now totals $43 million.

"It is very important to our country and our allies that our Patriot air and missile defense system facilities are in an optimal state of readiness to ensure that when our Patriot systems are needed, they provide premier air and missile defense capabilities," said Pete Franklin, vice president for Integrated Air and Missile Defense, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. "This effort reflects the continued commitment by the Army and Raytheon to ensure our Patriot missiles continue to provide our warfighters with a cost- effective, premier, no doubt air defense capability."

This effort will be performed at Raytheon's Integrated Air Defense Center, Andover, Mass., IDS Headquarters, Tewksbury, Mass., and Raytheon Technical Services Company, Burlington, Mass., as well as in Texarkana, Texas, and overseas locations.

The facilities process Patriot Advanced Configuration-2 and Guidance Enhanced Missile-T (GEM-T) missiles for stockpile reliability testing, recertification and repair in support of the Patriot Field Surveillance program. The program is an international cooperative effort, in which foreign partners fund and benefit from common support. International partners include Germany, the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Japan, Israel, Kuwait, Taiwan, Greece, and Spain.

Raytheon IDS is the prime contractor for the Patriot system and the system integrator for the Configuration-3 system that includes the GEM-T missile. As the system integrator, Raytheon IDS ensures that all Patriot system components provide the warfighter a reliable and lethal capability to defeat the threats in current and future combat environments.

The Patriot Air and Missile Defense System is the world's most advanced ground-based air defense system and is a cornerstone of the U.S. Army's integrated air defense system. Patriot is a long-range, high-altitude, all- weather system designed to defeat advanced threats, including aircraft, tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Combat proven during Operation Desert Storm, Patriot can simultaneously engage multiple targets under the most severe electronic countermeasure conditions.

The Patriot system remains the pre-eminent theater air and missile defense system and the nation's only deployed, land-based, short-to-medium range ballistic missile defense capability, further exemplified by President Bush's statement to "deploy our Patriot air defense systems to reassure our friends and allies." To maintain combat effectiveness, the Patriot system's growth roadmap leads the U.S. Army's Air & Missile Defense transformation, for which Patriot becomes part of an integrated network of sensors, fire control, command and intelligence under a composite battalion to provide a layered system of protection and prosecution.

Integrated Defense Systems is Raytheon's leader in Joint Battlespace Integration providing affordable, integrated solutions to a broad international and domestic customer base, including the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, the U.S. Armed Forces and the Department of Homeland Security.

Raytheon Company, with 2006 sales of $20.3 billion, is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning more than 80 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services. With headquarters in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon employs 73,000 people worldwide.

- UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOLLOWS BELOW - ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION December 31, 2006 Introduction

On March 27, 2007, ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD. (ChipMOS Bermuda), ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (ChipMOS Taiwan) and Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (SPIL) completed a share purchase and subscription transaction (Transaction) pursuant to which ChipMOS Bermuda and ChipMOS Taiwan purchased all of SPIL's equity interest in ChipMOS Taiwan at US$0.75 per share for an aggregate amount of approximately NT$6,229 million (US$191 million), and SPIL subscribed for 12,174,998 newly issued common share of ChipMOS Bermuda through a private placement at US$6.28 per share for an aggregate amount of approximately NT$2,492 million (US$76 million). Immediately following the Transaction, ChipMOS Bermuda owned approximately 99.14% of the outstanding shares of ChipMOS Taiwan.

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations has been prepared giving pro forma effects on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 as if the share purchase were completed on January 1, 2006. The actual transaction occurred on March 27, 2007.

The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet has been prepared giving pro forma effects on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 as if the share purchase were completed on December 31, 2006.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon the consolidated financial statements of ChipMOS Bermuda as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 after giving effect to pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The consolidated financial statements of ChipMOS Bermuda will be included in the future filing of Form 20-F.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to represent, and are not necessarily indicative of, what the results of operations of ChipMOS Bermuda and its subsidiaries would actually have been if the events described below had in fact occurred at the beginning of 2006 or December 31, 2006, or any other date, or to project the net profit of ChipMOS Bermuda and its subsidiaries for any future period. The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the unaudited pro forma financial information and that pro forma adjustments give effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma financial information.

Broadcom Charges Qualcomm with Unfair Competition, Fraud and Breach of Contract

IRVINE, Calif., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcom Corporation , a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that it has commenced new litigation against Qualcomm Incorporated asserting that Qualcomm's conduct before prominent industry standards organizations violates California law.

In a 37-page complaint filed late Thursday in California Superior Court in Orange County, Broadcom asserts that Qualcomm's misconduct before standards setting bodies includes improperly concealing its patents, reneging on licensing obligations, and exerting dominance through hidden affiliations. The complaint alleges that Qualcomm has engaged in a pattern of misconduct across multiple technologies and multiple standards bodies, including those responsible for setting cellular, video, and mobile broadband standards. Broadcom maintains that this misconduct constitutes fraud, breach of contract, and violation of California's unfair competition statute.

San Diego, Calif.-based Qualcomm claims that other industry participants require licenses to its patent portfolio because its patents allegedly cover various telecommunications and other industry standards.

In its complaint, Broadcom cites numerous instances of improper conduct by Qualcomm relating to industry standards bodies, including two recent and public ones: On March 22, the U.S. District Court in San Diego adopted a unanimous jury finding that Qualcomm violated its duty to disclose patents to the international organization that developed the H.264 video compression standard. That court is scheduled to hold a hearing on the proper remedy for Qualcomm's violation on May 2. Separately, in June 2006 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) suspended its 802.20 standards working group, which had been developing a "4G" wireless communication standard, after an investigation revealed that Qualcomm covertly dominated that group by hiring working group members who did not disclose their affiliations with Qualcomm.

"We now know that Qualcomm has been playing games with industry standards processes for years, leaving both consumers and competitors like Broadcom to pay a heavy price," said David A. Dull, Broadcom's Senior Vice President and General Counsel. "Our goal is to put a stop to this improper behavior and force Qualcomm to play by the same rules that apply to its competitors as well as its own customers."

The relief Broadcom seeks from Qualcomm in the lawsuit includes disgorgement of profits, restitution, compensatory and punitive damages, and a permanent injunction barring Qualcomm from seeking to enforce certain cellular, video, and mobile broadband patents against Broadcom or Broadcom's customers.

Additional Actions

While Qualcomm has either lost or dismissed all of its patent infringement claims against Broadcom, Broadcom continues to pursue various claims against Qualcomm. Last fall, a United States International Trade Commission (ITC) judge ruled that Qualcomm's cellular baseband chips infringe five claims of a Broadcom patent. The full Commission affirmed that ruling in December and is expected to issue a decision May 8 on the appropriate remedy for Qualcomm's infringement. Beginning May 1, the U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, Calif. is scheduled to try Broadcom's claims that Qualcomm infringes three additional Broadcom patents relating to cellular technology.

Separately, in other actions, Broadcom has joined five other leading mobile wireless technology companies in filing complaints with the European Commission alleging that Qualcomm has engaged in anticompetitive conduct in the licensing of its patents and the sale of its chipsets for mobile wireless devices and systems. The six companies assert that Qualcomm is violating EU competition law and failing to meet the commitments it made to international standards bodies to license its technology on fair, reasonable and non- discriminatory terms. Broadcom and other wireless technology companies have filed similar complaints before the Korean Fair Trade Commission.

At Plateau, we live and work in the communities that we serve, so we wanted to make sure that everyone could take advantage of this technology and have the ability to be located in times of need."

One of the major benefits of TruePosition's network-based location solution is that the calculations take place within the wireless network, which means that subscribers do not need to replace or modify their current cell phones in any way. As a result, all wireless subscribers can be located when they dial 911 on their cell phones. Consequently, this system also lays the foundation for Plateau Wireless to launch location based services -- like local search and family minder services -- to all of their customers.

"This project was unique and challenging due to the aggressive timelines that we set for ourselves," noted Todd Elliott, Vice President of North American Sales for TruePosition. "TruePosition and Plateau Wireless rose to the challenge, however. Plateau Wireless is a forward-thinking company, and we are pleased to be working with them to add location capabilities to their wireless network."

Digital Home Sets Getting Closer to Common Chinese Consumers

BEIJING, April 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CCID Consulting, China's leading research, consulting and IT outsourcing service provider, and the first Chinese consulting firm listed in Hong Kong, forecasts that digital home sets will get closer to Chinese consumers in 2007.

The year 2006 was an extremely important year for the development of digital homes in China. A series of major events in the fields of policy environment, development of standards and technological evolution are producing a profound impact on the future development of digital homes in China. The digital home is now gradually entering consumers' lives. Shanghai Telecom was the first to pilot digital home services among 5,000 ADSL users. CCID Consulting's research report shows:

Digital home users rapidly expand in numbers, while products grow fast

CCID Consulting's statistics show that by 2006, digital home users in China had reached 13.726 million. These included cable digital TV users, IPTV users and intelligent home users. Compared with 2005, the overall number of users grew by 244.8%.

For Fig. 1, "Number of Digital Home Users and its Growth in China, 2004- 2006", please refer to http://www.ccidconsulting.com/upload/11426.gif .*

In 2006, the overall conversion to digital TV gathered pace. The structure of cable network operators underwent a period of transformation as former city-centered cable TV network companies started to integrate towards provincial networks in an effort to improve the regional competitiveness of their cable TV networks. With the introduction of several digital TV standards in 2006, the whole industry was placed under a clearer development direction and entered a period of fast growth. Industry cooperation and service innovations have provided a powerful driving force for the development of IPTV. Although intelligent homes are still in a starting stage, the overall market will gradually enter a stage of industry integration, while products will develop along the practical, convenient and modular lines, eventually made suitable for common consumers.

Entry thresholds in some links are low, while there are still development bottlenecks

The digital home industry chain mainly consists of chip, OS and other core component firms, whole system firms, content providers, network operators and end users. Among these 4 major areas, core component suppliers and operators have obvious industry monopoly and the entry threshold is rather high. Relatively speaking, whole terminal system firms and contents providers are distributed in a wide range of industries, and the entry threshold is rather low. Particularly in the whole terminal firm link, leading color TV and PC makers have relatively mature technologies. It will not be too difficult for them to grasp future customer demand, connect with the upstream and downstream links and introduce some products to attract attention from consumers.

For Fig. 2, "Simplified Diagram of the Digital Home Industry Chain", please refer to http://www.ccidconsulting.com/upload/11427.gif .*

Currently, there are 3 major development bottlenecks for digital homes in China: non-unified standards, high cost and low customer cognition. The biggest problem in the promotion of digital homes is lack of unified industry standards. All standard alliances and their member firms have their own strategic intentions and starting points. To a certain extent, too many industry standards hamper the further development of the industry. Currently, the overall price of digital home products is still very high. In a price- sensitive consumer electronics market, high prices are not good for products to achieve a high penetration rate. Many consumers are not very receptive or enthusiastic about digital homes. The different concepts introduced by vendors in their promotion have made consumers have an ambiguous understanding.

The digital home industry will gradually mature, while competition will intensify

CCID Consulting believes that as consumers are more receptive to digital homes and product prices gradually drop, the digital home BOX will become the backbone of digital homes. Based on the current digital home development in China, CCID Consulting makes the following forecast for the growth of digital home user numbers in the next 5 years:

Table: Forecast for Digital Home User Numbers in China, 2007-2011 Year 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Number of Users (10,000) 4081.6 6775.1 8909.6 10630.9 11891.4 Growth Rate 197.36% 65.99% 31.51% 19.32% 11.86% Source: CCID Consulting, Jan. 07

For Fig. 3, "Forecast for Number of Digital Home Users and Growth in China, 2007-2011", please refer to http://www.ccidconsulting.com/upload/11428.gif .*

Digital homes will have the following development trends in the future: 1. PC and TV to be integrated into one body

Future digital homes will see a digital home BOX which integrates PC and TV terminals into one unit. BOX products also possess computing and processing capacities and large-screen display equipment. The BOX will be able to carry out multimedia information processing, network (TV and IP) access and intelligent home control. Its display technology will also meet the demand for home digital entertainment. Moreover, as the market is more receptive to the digital home BOX, and as product prices gradually drop, the digital home BOX will become the main part of the core of digital homes.

2. HD, wireless and energy-saving technologies to become the main trend

The development of digital home products will produce a major impact on technological succession. From the current situation, HD, wireless and energy-saving will be the main 3 product technology trends in the next few years.

3. Competitions between the 2 major standards will gradually intensify

With the acceleration of 3C integration, the boundaries between the 3 major modules of digital home will gradually be blurred. The boundaries between office-oriented IGRS and family-focused ITopHome are also bound to be broken. In order to become the digital home standard at home and abroad, competitions between the two camps will gradually intensify. Networking, standardization, intelligence, collaboration and remote control will be important features of digital homes in the future.
