Nokia’s Series 40 line of mobile phones has reached an important milestone.

The mobile company today announced that it sold the 1.5 billionth Nokia Series 40 phone in San Paulo, Brazil. The device, an Asha 303, was sold to 21-year-old Mayara Rodrigues, who wants to use the phone to keep “in touch with friends and family through social networks,” Nokia said. The Asha 303 boasts a touch screen and QWERTY keyboard and comes preinstalled with Angry Birds Lite.

That handset is a far cry from the first Series 40 phone Nokia launched in 1999. Dubbed the Nokia 7110, the device had a spring-loaded cover over a standard numeric keypad. “Send” and “End” buttons above the keypad were just below two input buttons to interact with the device’s software. Speaking of the software, it came with a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) browser and messaging features.

Nokia is expected to release its quarterly earnings tomorrow, and this announcement might be designed to offer a glimmer of hope to shareholders who watch, with envy, as Apple post huge financials. Just yesterday, Apple announced that it sold a record-breaking 37.04 million iPhones worldwide during the fourth quarter.

Gartner Says Apple Became the Top Semiconductor Customer in 2011

STAMFORD, Conn., January 24, 2012—

Leading electronic equipment manufacturers remained the center of the semiconductor world in 2011, accounting for $105.6 billion of semiconductors on a design total available market (TAM) basis — 35 percent of semiconductor vendors’ worldwide chip revenue, according to Gartner, Inc. This represented a year-over-year increase of $1.8 billion, or 1.8 percent from 2010.

Design TAM represents the total silicon content in all products designed by a certain electronic equipment manufacturer or in a certain region, while purchasing TAM represents the total silicon content purchased directly by a certain electronic equipment manufacturer or in a certain region. Design TAM is a useful index for semiconductor vendors when they are considering how to allocate their sales or field application engineer resources by customer or region. Purchasing TAM is a useful index for semiconductor vendors when they are considering how to establish an efficient distribution network by customer or region.

“The major growth drivers in 2011 were smartphones, media tablets and solid-state drives (SSDs),” said Masatsune Yamaji, principal research analyst at Gartner. “Those companies that gained share in the smartphone market, such as Apple, Samsung Electronics and HTC, increased their semiconductor demand, while those who lost market share in this segment, such as Nokia and LG Electronics, decreased their semiconductor demand. Media tablets were also a growth driver for the semiconductor market throughout 2011.”

What are Oracle Varieties and Studies. Putting them to use

Oracle forms are simply computer software that is used for creating display screen getting together with the oracle databases. The oracle forms use a common IDE that includes the thing navigator, program code editor, residence page and using PLPerSQL way too. It had been designed originally for jogging hosting server-aspect rolling around in its personality produced fatal periods. Nevertheless, it had been also shipped in to various systems, like the House windows platform, for working inside common client-hosting server setting.

The main resource type, that is symbolized as -.fmb is put together to Per centu201CexecutablePer centu201D -.fmx, which is further translated or work by forms in runtime element. This kind can be used for looking at and croping and editing the information of their databases-powered request. Various elements of the Graphical User Interface or GUI like selections, control keys, images and scrollbars can be added to these oracle forms and reports.
