AAPL: Problems with new casing colors have pushed...

6:05 PM Problems with new casing colors have pushed back the iPhone 5S (AAPL -2.2%) launch to calendar Q3 from June, writes Peter Misek in his gloomy note. Misek also expects a cheaper. plastic-bodied iPhone (Apple's design philosophy makes this questionable), and believes Sharp's light/low-power IGZO displays will be used in the 5th-fen iPad (more believable). He now predicts an iTV won't arrive this year due to challenges in making "a display that looks like 4K/Ultra HD but without the super-premium cost" - BI observes Misek's iTV forecasts haven't been too accurate.

6:15 PM Google (GOOG) has bought DNNResearch, a startup leveraging neural networks to improve voice/image search. The purchase appears to be an "acqui-hire" - DNNresearch doesn't have any products, but it does have Prof. Geoffrey Hinton, a renowned neural network expert. Google had long had an interest in using neural networks to analyze content not easily handled by traditional search algorithms. Read comments

Nonetheless, the company also controls roughly 69% of the smartphone OS market, thanks to Samsung (SSNLF.PK), which uses Google's Android mobile OS. Additionally, Google has also ventured in the smart devices business with its Nexus tablets and the acquisition of Motorola last year. But Android could ultimate prove to be a weak link for the company's margins. read more »
