How to Invest in the Smart Phone LeaderMay 30, 2008 By Georges Yared, Editor, GameChangers |
Have you ever tried taking a cell phone away from a teenager? Don’t attempt it unless you’re wearing a helmet and padding!
The entire world is addicted to cell phones now, and for good reason: These devices keep us always connected, anywhere, on the go.We call them “phones” because that’s a simpler word than “TV, Web-prowling, map-navigating, stereo, multiplayer game console, bar-scanning PC.” These devices are actually smart phones, and they can make you rich. In fact, I believe smart phones are an even bigger megatrend than the Internet! So how can we invest in this megatrend? Good question!
There are only three companies that are positioned to deliver the smart phone. These are the names: Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), Nokia (NOK) —not BlackBerry (RIMM), not Samsung, not Motorola.But which of these three companies is the best? The Google-specter is a myth. The Android operating system that Google hopes others will develop may indeed become a factor in one, maybe two years. But… well, you shouldn’t chance it right now.
The Real SmartPhone Is...
When it comes to Apple, not only is the iPhone gorgeous and has a cult following, but also, with the new operating system just announced, it is ready for business. But…well, let’s hold that thought for a moment, too, because, you see…
Nokia is ready to rock! The smart phone is here and it is Nokia’s N95.
The N95 is a computer that makes calls, but that’s not all. The N95 also does the work of a GPS navigator, it has a slide-out keypad, so it replaces your laptop, and it replaces your iPod—and the optics are so good it replaces your nice $700 digital camera.But beyond the masterful gadgetry of the N95 is an awe-inspiring concept: total connectivity.
Only Nokia has grasped the potential of this—and laid out the billions needed to sew up the technology. Only Nokia has moved beyond the device and made the phone a real service. A service that every human on the planet appears to WANT. In one conceptual move Nokia has changed the game. And that’s why Nokia is one of the top GameChangers. The stock has been unfairly beaten down since April, and now is the time to buy before it takes off in the second half of the year.
Buy Now for Second-Half Profits
Why am I so dead-sure Nokia will bounce back? After all, Google and Apple aren’t used to losing, and carriers like Vodafone may not want to play ball with Nokia. The answer is simple.
