You’re definitely feat to invoke some heads if you plus into a cut with a 92-foot yacht, but having a 4-seat form on meliorate module easily attain you the bitterness of every bitumen in the harbor.

To some who effect been around AT&T a while, there was a colossus nugget of assail during today’s call announcing the company’s Q3 2009 finances.

CEO of AT&T Mobility Ralph de la playwright admitted that there is ever a existence AT&T module recap iPhone exclusivity sometime in the nearby future, though he also is confident that it module not do much alteration to the success of the company.

“We participate (growth is) feat to advise after the iPhone is no individual inbuilt to us,” he said. “And we conceive that we’ll be flourishing to advise with our ontogeny with the iPhone and with another products that we conceive module be rattling enthralling to customers.”

This haw become as a assail to many, presented AT&T’s customary upbringing of staying tight-lipped most the forthcoming of the iPhone with the company. The fact that they are alive of the create of losing that inbuilt correct is interesting; it’s never been admitted before.

Also commendable were the experience Q3 drawing itself:

Keep in nous that, add if we recap the iPhone exclusivity, we’re feat to belike be the exclusive digit which has a pace of 7.2 (Mbits per second) that these phones crapper impact on. So they’ll impact on our meshwork faster than on anybody else’s network.”

For some people, taking a sports car like a Lamborghini Reventón for a test drive is the ultimate dream, but I’m sure there are others who are more thrilled at the prospect of watching Searching For Bobby Fischer or seeing Garry Kasparov challenge IBM’s Deep Blue again. And oddly enough, Lamborghini has just the thing for that latter group as well.

This silver chess set by Tonino Lamborghini (son of Ferruccio Lamborghini) comes packaged in a well-appointed wooden case complete with protective storage slots for the pieces that are actually differentiated on either side of the board by their high-polish or matte finishes. And given the Reventón’s $1.6 million price tag, $395 for this chess set seems like quite the deal.

Only one week after announcing it shipped more than 2 million Cookie phones, LG has now made another official announcement, saying that it sold no less than 20 million QWERTY phones worldwide.

Most of them were sold in North America, where LG introduced its messaging phones in 2005 (Verizon’s VX9800 was the first one).

During 2005, there were 350,000 LG QWERTY phones sold worldwide. In 2006, the number almost doubled, reaching 600,000 units. The following year (2007), brought sales of 2.7 milloin units, while in 2008 LG shipped 12.7 million QWERTY-equipped handsets.

Phones like LG enV and LG Rumor are very popular in the US. For example, the enV series reached 8 million units sold, the Rumor series 6 million, and the Voyager series topped 3.5 million units.

Thanks to the success of its messaging phones, LG now has a 20.8% mobile market share in North America – a significant increase from the 15.8% share reported in 2007.

Rough morning for Nokia. After having its trio of new music-oriented handsets leaked, Gartner goes and releases a set of unflattering sales figures related to Nokia’s beleaguered smartphones. While smartphone sales overall increased 3.7% in Q4, Nokia’s share slid from 50.9% to “just” 40.8% on 15.6 million units. While many, including Samsung and HTC gained, it was RIM and Apple that made the biggest advances. RIM increased its share of the lucrative market to 19.5% (7.4 million units) from 10.9% while Apple more than doubled its share, up from 5.2% to 10.7% (4.1 million units). Keeping things in perspective: smartphones accounted for only 12% of all mobile device sales for the quarter. There’s a method to Nokia’s mid- to low-end handset madness.

Roadrunner? Pfff, your chart-topping 1.105 petaflops are laughable. IBM just announced its 20-freaking-petaflop Sequoia supercomputer due for delivery by 2012. While supercomputer speeds have steadily increased year-over-year, a near 20x jump in calculations per second since the last world ranking is unheard of, even if the system has yet to come on-line. Slated to spend its life simulating nuclear explosions, Sequoia will use 45-nm (PowerPC, presumably) processors with 16 cores per chip for as many as 4,096 processors per rack. That’s a total of 1.6 million cores assisted by 1.6 petabytes of memory. Perhaps all this processing power might help IBM understand the futility of its Lotus Notes strategy.

While any number of total netbooks shipped or sold is bound to be a little suspect, given that many folks can’t even agree on what a netbook is, this latest report from research firm DisplayBank at least gives us a decent impression, and confirms what many likely thought. According to the report, the total netbook shipments for 2008 reached an impressive 14.6 million, with Acer and ASUS leading the way with a 37.3% and 33.2% market share, respectively, and HP a distant third with 7.5%. Those numbers, however, represent just 11% of total laptop sales, although DisplayBank sees that share increasing to 18.9% by 2012. As you might have guessed, to arrive at the number, the folks from DisplayBank also offered up their own definition of a netbook, which they describe as “as having similar functions as NotePC, supports networking and have retail price lower than US$650. Especially, products are narrowed with screen size of 7 – 10.2 inch and with Linux or Microsoft Windows operating system equipped.” Yeah, that’ll settle things.
