This is a no spin zone. Only supporters for the success of iBIZ corp need to enter this site. Now, maybe we all can go back to the way it use to be. When everyone communicated in the true meaning of working as a team in trying to figure out where we are headed. Hoping for the best for all of us and lets all try to keep each other informed with the best possible information possible. Every little bit helps.

I'm ready to take it ALL in! I like the word "supporter" you use, b/c I think there is a big difference between a supporter, and a pumper. I "support" iBIZ just like I "support" Logi Tech (for example) when I bought one of their cool wireless keyboards and mouse. If I saw that product when their stock was at a nickel, I would have bought a bunch of that **** too!!! LOL Anyway, enough of that though....

I read on another message board that Ken is back from Isreal yesterday...and I am hoping that he may put some of the information he gained on his trip into a PR, and get the stock back up to the .04-05 support it used to have.

Yes your right about that. If Ken does post a PR on his trip and it is up beat then we will probably see this thing move back up to those levels. Then if he follows with some sells #s say around the 15th we might be in business. Hoping for the best. I feel the time for charts and T/A are over for now. We need good hard PR's that bring in the production #s and sells #s. My Opinion. But, just think if he came out with a statement saying that they were going to have to open up their asian plant. What a day that would be. Then later we get the Cell phone and then the Blue Dock. We do have a nice stream of products in the pipeline. Ken just needs to get them out into the market. Have a nice day and lets enjoy this thread and have nice conversations that will help us all meet our goals whatever they may be. Think Positive.

Op: You are right sell all and wait for the news. I see you know better than that. Then it is just a little to late. I and you think the same. Be in before the PR if at all possible. If you wait you could take a nice lose before being able to get back in. Hang in all and Ken I hope will bring home the bacon.

Yeah man, however I need to step back b/c I am letting posts anger me, which is eaxactly what we don't need.

Here's a link to a Comp USA ad from this weekend. They are advertising iBIZ products! My DD goal is to find as many penny stock companies as I can that are selling products at Comp USA, Circuit City, etc. I'll let the board know what I find!

I am back, and have failed in my task to find a "penny stock" that sells at Comp USA. As a matter of fact iBIZ is the only "penny stock" company I have found that has it's products sold at major retailers like Walmart, Staples, and Fry's, and reportedly Circuit City on 15Mar04.

No pumping, just hard facts.

Neo, I thought the EXACT same thing. I was worried about the functionality of this product, until I saw the reporter type in that video. The VKB really looks cool, and usable IMO.

Rarely if ever, would I give anyone direct investment advice. I post on issues of news fact and perspective on certain ones I invest in. IBIZ is one of a dozen main holdings for me, which contain mainly big board stocks. But here goes nothing...lol...

Everything leading to this point is based on their emergence and execution of their business plan since December 30, 2003 to the present.
You really have two choices at this point.

First if you believe there is no opportunity based on all that you have seen from the company, media, retailers and e-retailers, then your option is to sit this one out on the sidelines.

The second is if you believe that there is opportunity based on all you have seen from the company, media, retailers and e-retailers, contracts and what the next 30-60 days holds, then obviously buy or hold. MM's have had their way with many stocks and since 9:35am on 2-12-04 (5 minutes after the opening bell on the morning of the Circuit City PR) MM's have not let this go. If you are believing this opportunity will be realized, then the MM's who have tried to shake shares and naked short their way to these levels is the biggest favor for you.

If retailers are announced one after another, and the product reception sends a shockwave, then this is your time to make your buying decision.

If you believe none of the above occur, then you need to consider investing your money in another stock or form of investment.

As for people who post revealing their share amount, I simply think that is wrong. It sends the wrong message, cannot be verified and works as signals to MM's to try to shake shares. That is something I would advise never to do on this or any stock.

I believe the next 30 to 60 days will be the start something very big. You or others may feel different. If and when it does happen, the MM's will have no choice but to step away and actually join in and fuel the rally if they want to share in the gains in share price that may likely come. Be well. Bo

Seriously, thanks for the assist anyway, I never did get it to work though, I get much the same errors as others have said. At least my porn chat rooms are operational, they probably have more interesting discussions than stocks anyway! JK LOL

Caps are fine with me. Not yet. I still think it will drop down to .029 to .03. Then I will be back in. But no matter I will be back in for sure by 10 Mar. As you know I like to play the fine line. I like the excitement of it all. Its like the chase. Then once you catch it the excitement is short lived. The thrill of victory or the agony (sp) of defeat that me. I play now in penny land and also in the major markets and play the same way. I like to make money of course but the thrill I get is the most important thing to me. The rush is fantastic at times or a real downer.
I love stocks that can either go all the way to the mountain or crash and burn. The total excitement is what I am here for. A sure thing takes the excitement away. But here there is no sure thing. But I think most of you all already new that. Everyone have a great greeeeen day and hope Ken will deliver the goods. It is all now own his sholders to get the product to market. The product will sell itself. Hoping the best for all and to all a good night until 0930AM.

Check this out from another message board:

I just got off the phone with Ken and we talked a bit about i tech. I
know that Whampoa wasn't very happy that we were retailing for $100.
Whampoa was originaly manufacturing for Panasonic but Panasonic
shelved the project I believe. Then picked up by i tech it looks like.

Internet orders from IBZT should ship just before, during or right
after CeBIT show. The first 500 will have a survey shipped with it so
IBZT can get some feedback from customers on how the like the
keyboard.

Ken and Mark brought a handfull of keyboards back from Israel with
them to send out to the media. I believe thier is going to be
continued media coverage leading up too CeBIT in fact I believe we
will see our keyboard on Regis and Kelly around the 9th I believe.
That was rescheduled from last month


They are also looking at a lot of exciting new PDA related technology
to add to thier lineup. They saw some very exciting stuff on thier
trip to Israel.

well enough rambling

again welcome BB

Jerry

disclaimer: who knows if this is real, but hopefully so!! LOL

The Isreal site will not be up to full production for 60 Days. I figure that means 100K a month as in past PR. This PR as I read on www.msn.com sounds like the normal stuff except another delay. OP I think everyone knows that the sells will be high but they would like for Ken to say who will be selling them and howmany they have ordered. I wished he would. We know CC is but who else. WalMart, Radio Shack etc etc. As on anything the waiting is the hard part. But, I feel it will be worth it. I think that we will now for sure fall back to .029 to .03. This PR even though looked good for the future the stock will react to the here and now. My opinion only. It dipped on the news to .032 as I type this. Just hang in there and we will be rewarded. It did answer the question on Endeavor thou. They had a little name change. And he said he was looking at new ideas. Good luck to all in penny land and make no mistake about it I still think Ken will bring us home.

"This PR even though looked good for the future the stock will react to the here and now"

You hit it on the head there! Also, the waiting is definately the hard part. I am thinking of taking a loss in CTKH and putting the remainder in iBIZ if it dips to below .03 I'm not worried at all, b/c when the sales and shipping news does hit, I will be a happy camper. I took this PR as more of a "just to let you know" to investors, vice PR to make the stock go up, ya know? GLTA
 


Posted by opiate94 on :
 
I just have to say that Ken must be sitting back smiling his ass off. In all of the DD I have done on this company I have NEVER read where they ever had so many people worried about one of their products getting to market. In everything that Ken and iBIZ have been through in the past years, I would think that this must be a shining moment for him and his little company. I for one feel damn lucky to be a part of it. I truly feel that I might be lucky enough to be one of the people who got in at the bottom of a company that is going to be big. I remember a friend saying to me "I wish I got into Cisco in the beginning". I hope one day I can say "Glad I got into iBIZ in the beginning!"
 
Posted by Bart on :
 
OP: I could not agree more. Very well said. Now all we have to do is set back and relax.
Right. I can not believe I just said set back and relax. I must be nuts. I am going to see a doctor there is no way I can relax. From here on out news is everything to us. And just think the cell phone and bluedock and who knows what else is to come.

Anybody ever wondered why bashers(aka "working for market makers") don't bash when :

1. The price has dropped significantly from the time they start bashing.

2. The stock in question has no potential.
(only stocks with great potential attract bashers)

Just a thought.

Well tom just might weed out the people who are not sure they want this stock. I see us below .03 because of the trend of the overall market. Investors getting nervious about the shipping of the VKB. But the main thing is that this is not the only thing seeing red. If it were I might get concerned but there are a ton of them out there. We are in a down trend in the overall markets. Just take a look and you will see. Very few can get a move forward. Just look at over the past week USCI, UVCL, QBID, EGHT, AFRR and the list goes on and on. Good news gets hit with no big upward moves. So I am going to hang in there and wait until the main push up comes. The other products that CC wanted should be no problem. They only ordered a few VKB's so they might have enough for the CC to get theirs. We will know on the 15th. But, as I said a while back we are going back below .03 for the reasons I stated in past post and this one. I feel it has nothing to do with Ibzt it the the MM's with the 1 Apr deadline (I hope) and the overall market. My opinion only. Good luck to us all.
 
Posted by opiate94 on :
 
I think maybe that phone conversation with Ken that I posted above just might have some merit to it afterall, b/c it talks about the VKB might be shown on Regis and Kelly show around March 9th. If you look at this link you will see that Leo from TechTV, the same show that has already previewed the VKB, is scheduled to be on the Regis and Kelly show March 9th!

Ah,long day at the job. Ok O.......I am not upset. Disapointed is the key word. We have had several delays and I don`t see any end to it at the near term. The switching factory thing is a bit worrysome also. This is a big deal..you just don`t move a production facility that easy. That is my work. It can really take along time to do. Another problem.the mention the early units in plain white boxes. Agian..they just don`t have the ducks in a row right now..DAM

Sync: I think the move in production Ken was talking about was the move from this small lab here to Isreal where they have a bigger prodution facility. I do not think he ment that they just moved it again. My opinion. They need a big facility to produce a large quanity. The lab here is just for very small quanties to experiment with. I still see us in the 2's but I am not worried at all. Our day will come. Everyone have a nice day.
 
Posted by opiate94 on :
 
Well Bart...what's your take on that close we had today? I was really bracing myself for the .02's today, so needless to say I enjoyed watching the close.
But seriously, does the sudden spike up towards the end of the day mean anything significant for us? Just curious.

We hit .029 at one time today. At the end we came up some but I would not put much into it. During the day we were back and forth. I did like it today though. I got back in at .0303. Wanted at .030 but could not get it. I still see us going between .029 to .035 until we get some big news. Hoping sooner rather than later. I still think one morning we will open our comp and she will be heading straight up. Good luck to all of us.

Your right. Just trying to get my position in IBZT better and better. This is my 5th in and out and it has worked so far each time. I feel though it will not drop below .029 so there will be no need me to try and dollar cost any more. Just hang on now for the ride when the big news hits. Hopefully soon. May we all have some great news soon. 10 Mar is getting close now.

HAHAHAHA Yeah Bart, I too enjoy your unique quote every now and then. Maybe if you busted it out only once a week, or on special occasions, then nobody can accuse you of pumping! LOL Good day for us all, IMO. I don't mind the Green at all!

IMO the the rumor that VKB will be shown on Regis has more truth than rumor to it, b/c I read another PR that there is a new product also being shown on that day(Camwear). This leads me to believe that the show will be centered around new, and unique tech products. The VKB is definately in that category.

Actually I reposted it on RB. I used the link and it worked great. The interview was very informative. It wasn't a "make the stock shoot up" PR, but more of a "here's where we are, where we're heading, and where we want to be". Ya know?

yeah, there were no numbers of course, and thats what we need but the price has gone up since the pr

Bart,
So what is supposed to happen on 10 Mar...I take it that is March 10th, 2004
 
Posted by opiate94 on :
 
IMO it will go up.

I believe the low volume means there are a lot of people holding, and waiting on news of the VKB shipping, sales, etc. This is not a guarantee, but there is a CHANCE that some of this news could come as early as next week. I say this b/c, according to the 3/02 PR, there will be initial production units shipped, but no specific date, but before the end of March, b/c that's when the mass production units will be available. And with the CC order due to be deilivered by 3/15, this tells me that there is definately a CHANCE for shipping news next week.
Also, I think the PR of yesterday, kind of brought the stock back into view a bit more, which potentially created even more buyers (hence the upward trend of the last two days) who will hold for news also.
Based on those two factors, and the fact that it is the Friday before a potentially big week for this company, I predict we gap up to around .037 in the morning, bounce between .032 and .037 all day, finally closing at 036.
Furthermore, next week I bet we trade sideways all week in anticipation of VKB's shipping. If there is no news of this by late Thurs of next week, then I bet we start heading down again.
But if there is news.....all I know for sure is that the people on this thread will be dancing, and I don't need any DD to know that!! hahaha LOL

GLTA, and I'll talk to ya at the bell!

Well, this is nice. Not a basher or pumper in sight. RB is getting to be a Zoo.

Haji: March 11 is the updated availability date on Mobile Planet site for VKB shipments, it got moved up from March 15.

Today on RB someone posted GNETs Phone # and the amazing thing was watching the "normal" trading pattern completely change after that.

Anyway, it's good to see everyone: BO, Haji, Opi.

Welcome Mike,

Great board for dd, perspective and discussion. It's best to not mention allstocks on other boards, so to maintain the ongoing integrity here. The popularity of allstocks comes from the good investing insight that is posted here.

Welcome, and yes, the GNET Effect has been interesting to follow the past 2 days. Be well, Bo

Thanks BO,

Lord, that's all we'd need is the likes of ECNC or RonRon over here! OW!

BTW: Just reading some of the posts here, I have to congratulate everyone on the level of DD. Pretty amazing folks, keep up the great work. Of course I'll be posting anything "Verifiable" that I find.

Until then, warmest regards,
Mike

Leo LaPorte supposed to be on Regis & Kelli this Tuesday, MArch 9th....

Leo's a tech guy that loves new geeky & high-tech gadgets.

He's on Tech TV and Radio. If he has the VKB on their show Tuesday - maybe we'll get back to a nickel or so - then the CeBit, and then hopefully actual shipping.........

Last time Leo was supposed to be on R & K, it was postponed. Let's hope for the best all the way around!

Steve...

Good post, but it's important to point out that it's not confirmed that IBIZ's virtual keyboard will be demonstrated by Leo. If it doesn't, it does not change the dynamics of the next 30 days. If it does appear, then no doubt it will be a strong plus.
Nonetheless, it's been confirmed today that Mobile Planet has the IBIZ vkb for sale in their most recent product catalog which has been sent out. Be well, Bo

I felt that with the rumor around about Regis possibly having the VKB on his show on the 9th and that the VKB should be coming out to CC on the 15th that news should hit before the 10th about it. Thats why I said I had to be back in before the tenth of 2004. Its just a long shot but hey I do not think it will go below .029 and I got back in at .0303 so I feel good about it. Penny land is where the big money is at. I own all kinds of big stock but boy can you make money here. Big boys are nice and steady. No fun. Here wild swings up and down make for very thrilling days. Just setting around now and waiting on news. Just wanted to answer your question. Everyone have a great weekend.

Soon enough we will not rely on Regis & Kelly for exposure. This will be selling from major retailers & word of mouth will be all the advertisement IBZT needs.

Hey guys I think it would be a good idea if we wrote the people who could be possibly bringing the keyboard on regis. Being that there is no conformation that it will happen we can ask for that and at the very least when a hole bunch of emails come in asking about it maybe he will put it on even if he wasnt going to. I cant take credit for the idea I acually got it from purl gurl. It is a good idea so we need to do some searching and find that email address.

webmaster@leoville.com

copy and paste

there is the email address ..every who is interested in ibiz getting attention on tv and having more peope interested in this stock do you duty and write this guy a mail asking about the key board and wether or not it will be on the show..... dont sound like a kookie invester.


 


Posted by opiate94 on :
 
Neo, I personally don't think that is a good idea. Leo Laporte, and Regis know what they're doing. I say let's just wait and see what the show on Mar 9th brings. If this guy shows up and shows the VKB..GREAT...if not..it doesn't matter, we'll move on. However, I seriosuly doubt we are alone in the computer world when we say that the VKB is the coolest looking gadget to come around in a long time, so I believe we should just let it sell itself. The way I figure it, IF the VKB does show up on this show, then we will know for sure that it was shown b/c reviewer's are excited about it, not just b/c investor's interested in making a bunch of money swamped him with emails to show it.
I don't think emails will do any good but to piss him off when he finds his inbox flooded. I may be wrong, but I think Purl Gurl was being a little facetious and sarcastic when she said "email and manipulate him into showing it."

Of course this all just my opinion. Have a good Saturday all!!

p.s. "facetious" is one of only 3 words in the english language to contain all the vowels in order! LOL

nah I dont think its important why he shows on the show just that he shows it... purl gurl has a diffrent opinion but I dont think she is out to screw every one. there will always be diffrent opinions... who knows maybe after Ibiz you and I might have diffrent opinions on the next stock to come out and one of us will probably be labled a basher and the other a pumper. well besides all that I think any way to get more coverage on tv and to get more people aware in of this company means more buy orders wich means we make more money, and thats what I'm here for.

All true, and good points. To me, PG's post was typed with a lot of sarcasm b/c she thinks emailing him would be manipulation, and I agree with her in that way. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but you seemed to agree with her that emailing was a GOOD thing, but I don't think she was serious.

she may not have been but I still think its a good idea manipulation or not....this guy wants to put products on the show that people want to see...I am people so I put my vote in for the keyboard, hes happy I m happy ...like I said before its not really important how it gets more coverage, just that it gets it.
 
Posted by Bart on :
 
OP: I totally agree with you. Just let Leo do what he does. If we start pushing he just might feel we are trying to manipulate him for our own personnel gains. Then he might not do the VKB at all. If he has plans on doing it at all anyway.
 
Posted by Neo on :
 
thats why I said dont sound like a weird invester...just inquire about the show and the products being shown and mention that you heard of an interesting one thats out there some kind of laser keyboard.

My suggestion to write LaPorte is sincere
and free of an aeiou nature.

You boys are in this for the money. Having
LaPorte feature this keyboard on television
would be a boost, albeit a very mild boost.

This type of exposure would lead to a lot
of pumping on the boards, a rise in price,
affording a chance to profit or cut losses.

Letters should be well worded, free of any
grammatical errors and especially free of
spelling errors. Letters should include
subtle appeals to his bloated ego.

Spelling errors will be found by reading
your letter backwards. Works everytime.

No harm to your stock will be caused. There
is a small chance your stock will benefit.

hey im curious and it has not been discussed for a while what are some peoples target price on this one. I have heard would be stock guru's say .3 by spring but I am just wondering what the common idea is.
 
Posted by opiate94 on :
 
My predictions are:

IF 1 mil VKB's are sold, and the 1st quarter reports $40 mil in revenues by June, then the stock will be at .50

or

IF the VKB flops and the CEO flies to Haiti to run for President in June, then the stock will be at .0001.

LOL

If you want serious predictions, I can't do that, b/c there's too many IF's

However, I do like seeing people post their predictions, allowing me to dream!

Posted by opiate94 on :
 
While we are on the subject, another thing I am anxious to see, and unable to speculate b/c of, is Apr 1st.

From what I have gathered, IBZT spiked up to .08, and was then "shorted" way back down. I am wondering if the new naked shorting law will allow the stock to spike up, and then hold it's position.

IF this is the case, and IF iBIZ puts out great PR's concerning VKB shipping amounts, retail buys, good customer reviews, positive revenues in quarterly reports, shipping and revenues of VKB for cell phone, and shipping and revenues for the Bluedock, then that would be good right? Because the pps could spike up on each of these PR's, and hold.

Posted by Neo on :
 
well the way I see it is this shorting thing will ether be big or it wont lol

It may not even be anything but I of course hope that it causes them to loose there strangle hold on our monster.

If the shorting thing is enforced it seems to me the market will become extremly volital... ibzt along with other stocks will either be running way up as fast as can be or plumiting just as quick. there will be much less restricting it in either way. and as you said we have alot of pr comeing out soon so it seems to me that with all the positive attention in this potentialy new trading enviroment could cause this thing to rocket beyond our wildest dreams.........(or not)

nothing is for sure here. and with such a potentialy large change even less things are sure.

all I know is my gut tells me this one will make me money. just my opinion!

Bentcash put out some interesting projections of PPS on RB.

Based his projection on sales of 50K units per month & did some very conservative calcs.

He came out with a PPS of .30 - .33.

Of course if IBZT runs the way I believe it will. My sell price will give me honorary Great, Great, Great, Grandfather rights!
Yea, I'm a bit long on this one!

Talked to the sales department at Mobile Planet today. The girl said that she wasn't allowed to give me specific numbers on VKB orders, but was able to say that they are a popular item, and that 3/4 of Mobile Planet's initial order has been sold already. She also said the new arrival date for the intitial order is 02Apr.
I know that 3/4 could mean 8 of 12, but the point is, we have more hard facts that this baby is selling.

......I am refering to the Regis site........It states AVAILABLE SUMMER-VKB ......I would you think that that would be up to date stuff on that site.

well I would look to other sources for valuable estimates of the release other then the regis web site.

I have never heard of it either. I guess that's why that one PR said "VKB Featured in Business Week", and not "VKB Featured in Machine Design"! hahaha Might not have had the same effect I think!! LMAO Either way, it's still ONE more magazine, right?

Opiate, I agree. All exposure is welcome. The more the better because it just drives home the point that this is one sexy product. No need to tell you those are the ones that run fast & high.

I know $5 looks like a dream but I will still have many many shares when we hit that level. Further more I'm still going to be holding when we see $10. We will see that before 2008.

Bank on this! Once a stock comes from pennys, passes the $2 mark & sticks, $10 is only a matter of time. So I had to ask myself, can we do $2+ & hold it. Look at SIRI's financials & it becomes obvious. Financials sometimes are not quite as important as sex appeal. We've got that & some!

For me this is not a pipe dream. Sometime in 2005 when Blue Dock is a reality that people are buying & using with a wireless VKB, we're cash flow positive & close to showing a profit, Ken will announce the next hot lick from IBZT! At that point we will leave base station $2 with a cloud of dust & a Whole lot of noise & right around that time smart money will pile on & that my friend is when you will hear them say "Yea buddy, you know me I smell money. I caught IBZT right before it hit $5!"

"These are the good old days!"

sounds good whiz....I hope it does that in like an hour when im at work or else i wont have what it takes to stay in that high....i belive a dollar is not far off at all and i have my mind set on that goal first.
 
Posted by Flyfishing007 on :
 
Whiz: I know exactly what you're saying & no, it's not a pipe dream. I just pray that it stays at or below .05 PPS long enough for me to throw my next paycheck in there.

Now if the MMs will just be Pricks, keep slamming it, I can make goal before Ken does the big PR.

Who would have ever guessed I would retire off a Penny Stock! LOL

When you sell a stock for a large gain, does anyone know what you have to pay in taxes... 10% 20% 30% ect.
And do you have to claim it right away or can you just wait till end of year.
I am in IBZT and believe strongly in the company so I am just doing some day dreaming about the future.
Thanks,

I don't remember reading the Bluedock would be at Cebit, only the VKB. I'm pleased to see a PR either way. I was thinking that tomorrow there HAS to be a raise in volume, right? And I would also think that due to the PR, the volume will be people buying. If anyone was selling they would have done it a long time ago, correct? Just pondering. I am not expecting a huge jump by ANY means, but I sure would like to see a GREEN close on a Friday, especially after the entire market is taking a hit.

My vacation started at 1700, so I'm gonna get boozed up and ponder some more! LOL

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think tonight's news is going to move us up much - MAYBE a little spike at open. I've been Long since December - and held when I wanted to trade it, and watched it dwindle back down to where we are now (I was SURE, as I'm sure a lot of you were, when we were at .075 and even down to .06 - that's we'd NEVER see .04 again! Oh well - guess this is what the wise man who said "Never Say Never" meant! I've heard all the stories of the guys who traded it 5 or 6 times successfully like Bart and others and now have a Gazillion free shares. One guy I know CLAIMS he's pocketed over $60,000 and STILL have over a million free shares. Coulda, WOulda, Shoulda!

I honestly believe is the ONLY thing that will make us go up is the PR that says the Keyboards are IN PHOENIX, not even coming from Israel - and being shipped to CUstomers and retailers. THEN, when people start receiving them, and CC has them on the shelves - and we get a Parade of PRs with Retailer Orders, we'll fly through the sky, and not until.

Love, I agree that it might not move much, but I bet these little PR's start getting us higher supports than we have been seeing lately. There is just so much PR to look forward too: Cebit, shiiping, product reviews, etc. Hell I bet it won't be long before this thing starts moving on "other" news besides PR's, ie. Cebit reviews from other companies, and things like that.

As with the other longs here, little losses/gains are of no matter to me, I am here for a long time, and I just like posting and BS'ing about things until we are all either much more rich, or looking like idiot's! LOL Now PAVP..that's a stock where the gain's/losses had me stressing!! #$#%%$@#@

Bigd0251:

Go ahead if you like. But I don't even think the ORIGINAL delivery date to CC was til the 15th - and I'm sure that's delayed because they haven't produced 3000 keyboards yet, and I'm guessing the Online Customers of Ibiz' site will get them first - since there's more profit there.

Opiate: I hear ya. My son and I are still holding that crappy PAVP that we paid 14.2 and 14.5 for the other day. Down 40% - In 3 hours.....I never lost so much so fast. Thanks (Only kidding - LOL)

I'm sooo sick of hearing scam, scam, scam about Ibiz. It gets to you after a while. I almost bought in Oct/Nov, but then read they would not be out for Christmas. I've been reading back now to the beginning of last summer, and Ken Schilling has been promising delivery of the VKBs since LAST JULY, and hasn't delivered yet, which is why a lot of bashers are crying foul. Lord knows he's given them some good ammunition. Sometimes , when I start thinking crazy and negative thoughts, I keep reminding myself: Ibiz ALREADY HAS MANY PRODUCTS in Major Stores now for a couple of years. I think maybe he's been a little over-zealous in his promises, as in "Over Promising and Under Delivering". I DON'T think he's perpetrating a fraud here, using CNBC, MSNBC, Tech TV, CeoCast - and sooo many media outlets to help him. God forbid that was the case - I think he KNOWS he'd go to jail for something of this magnitude.

I also believe that he's trying to do EVERYTHING he can to get this ship up and running smoothly. You have to remember - he's pulled a Lazarus here already. After 24 YEARS this company was down and out, unconcsious and had already been given the Last Rites. The 5 or 6 people working there having been living on almost nothing. People bitch that Ken and MArk have sold some stock - So WHAT? They have to eat and pay bills just like the rest of us.

Yes - it would have been GREAT if the Keyboards were out last week, we're getting INCREDIBLE rave reviews, and we were all rich - awaiting Blue Dock and the cellphone vkb to get even MORE rich. But it hasn't happened - YET. So we have to be patient - and see how this plays out. I know it's hard because it's been on all our minds since December. The BEST thing we can do when the going gets rough is stay the hell off negative message boards. They can mess with your mind and subliminally convince you to do things you'll later regret!

Best of Luck to All of us,
Steve

Ken will come through. He wants this company to make it much more than we do. He's invested years in this thing & it's his business. When he realizes his greatest success many here will have already sold.

When it comes right down to it Ken is our greatest asset. I believe he's driven to get the VKB on the retail shelves followed by a wireless version & then Blue Dock!

Soon enough people, soon enough!

Still hoping - to get even + with PAVP! LOL

This is a rip-off stock with some idiot posting, attempting to atone for the sins of Mr. Schilling (or was that the Enron guy ?);
whatever, don't listen to this garbage. I've done a lot of DD on this company and this individual and concluded they're sharks and possibly crooks. Do your own DD, see what you find if you dig deep enough.
This is all BS, this deal about "only need enter this site"; it's a shill, pure and simple !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Posted by ANEWBIE on :
 
Bounce, the reason they posted this link is because there was allot of battling and personal issues going on in the other rooms...basically if you look at the other areas is was getting personal. Every issue that IBZT has ever had is on these sites over and over and basically I think if you read the other pages you will realize why someone started this one. If you don't like this link then Bounce on out of here.

Better than I expected. I like that the news of the Bluedock got the pps going, b/c some people have claimed that the VKB is ALL this company has, and if/when the attention dies down, so to will iBIZ, but these other products seem to be prove that theory wrong.

Overall, I'm happy with the week. Have a good weekend all!

Repost of Bo14172:

For new investors to IBIZ...
In looking at any stock, only invest based on your own risk level. There are big board stocks that are not Dow components that are larger than some of the Dow's, and stay out of the news. You never see them on CNBC, CNNFn, Bloomberg or through investment newsprint, but their 10 year charts, dividend payout, market share and assurred growth are more than impressive. A handful of these have grown 6 to 10 times over the past 10 years and have grown even through the 2000-2003 period. These type of stocks would be for people who's risk level is very low, and seek saftey beyond what even the Dow's provide.

The opposite spectrum is the type of investor who looks at penny stock opportunities. The factors I mentioned above for the elite large cap stocks are not those you can normally find in penny stocks. First off, yes it's true, penny stocks do rise from these low levels to trade at more than a dollar and well beyond. Those stocks usually have sex-appeal. That is a term used to describe stocks with attractive products and forward thinking. IBIZ's virtual keyboard caught everyone's attention immediately, and the vkb has only just begun to gain appeal. It is my belief that when introduced, the buzz and media attention about this will drive sales worldwide. I like the fact they are making every effort to assure a market for them (which they have done), and asessed demand and lined up retailers. As we saw 2 weeks ago, both Ken and Mark went to the production facility with a clearer picture of the demand and retailers that will be involved, and created assurance of the quality of the product and the ability to mass produce it.

From now until the next 30 days will be the most exciting that the comany has had since it's inception. Subsequent to that will be the rewards of their work as new opportunities present themselves and new products take shape. They have the cell/smart phone vkb which will be coming this summer. This should be a winner as well. Last but certainly not leat, is Bluedock. If pda's and smartphones and handheld pc's are able to link to this, IBIZ will play an intregate role in the "shrinking technology" of computers, phones and pda's.

Concerns that have been mentioned on here shouldn't concern you. Those that bash post news that is years old and has no relevance to then events subsequent to December 30, 2003. Concerns about shipping were addressed fully 2 weeks ago, and the pr should help you there. Debt has been retired which is a major step in their capital structure. The O/S is not a concern to me though as the price of this stock moved quickly to .06 and quickly to .08. Look at SIRI and Texas Instruments (TXN) outstading shares (1.07 and 1.7 respectively). Increase for demand in this stock and any company buybacks will erase any concerns. I've said it before, but O/S is only one factor in determining share price. Of course if you have a company say like Qbid with close to 10 Bil O/S, then that is a concern for anyone expecting any gain without a fundemental change in the companies structure, and is truly a gamble on something no one has seen or experienced.
IBIZ was featured at CES in Las Vegas 2 months ago. They were nominated by TechTV as on of the best product of the show. There I bet were many thousands of products to chose from. At CeBIT, they will have the spotlight again and this time the global market will be watching.

The timing of shipment after April 1st couldn't be better. That elimination of naked short selling goes into effect on April 1. Shipment news, retailer contracts, global markets, product reactions and reorders will all play toward a very strong move in the price of this stock.
There are other very encouraging reasons to be long in IBIZ for the short and long term. Invest based on your own dd and risk levels always. Be well and have a good weekend. Bo

Posted on CEOCAST Newsletter 3/14/04:

iBIZ Technology Corporation (OTCBB: IBZT), a developer of innovative PDA technologies, announced that its subsidiary Synosphere, LLC will showcase Blue Dock™, the world's first docking station to allow a PDA to function as a primary computing platform in a desktop environment, without the need for an additional workstation or laptop, at the CeBit Show in Germany this week. Earlier this year, the exposure that IBZT received for its products at the Consumer Electronics Show was a major catalyst for the stock, and if the company makes a splash at this event the stock could rally sharply again. It ended the week at $0.036.

**I WAS REMINDED BY A FRIEND!**

Ken Schilling has spent the better part of 24 years building this thing! It will not happen overnight!

I know! Many would have us believe there's a chance VKB may not work & might not even make it to the shelves of retailers. Are you going for that? I'm not! That's the only reason these shares were so cheap.

Soon enough people will realize Ken Schilling isn't begging to go to jail after all the recent promotion. No! He's actually going to deliver VKB even while he's in Germany creating a splash, then a wireless VKB this Summer, then Blue Dock before Christmas & who knows what's next. Anyone who has not been so dumb as to let go of their shares the last couple of weeks will be pretty happy in the months to come.

In my very very humble oppinion this will not be a penny stock forever. Two years at the outside we're over a buck!

Whiz, I concur with all you said. The icing on the iBIZ cake would be the company buying back more shares, but even without that, I am very comfortable with my position here. Matter of fact I just got a lil more today!

I'm off to Vegas for the wife's birthday(St. Patrick's Day!!) Hopefully roulette is good to me, and I can make up for the a$$ raping I took last week in my feeble attempt at swing trading! LOL GLTA this week.

Anyone who has not been so dumb as to let go of their shares the last couple of weeks will be pretty happy in the months to come.

In my very very humble oppinion this will not be a penny stock forever. Two years at the outside we're over a buck!

BTW someone posted that IBIZ will be showing at an Auto show in NY next month, which is true, I'm just not sure if it is OUR iBIZ. Might want to check it out. http://www.autoshowny.com/html/body_level_four.html

it might be our ibiz.... they might be showing of there car chargers and stuff like that....im not sure but its possible

Reading a popular science magazine and seen an advertising section for new products, seems like a good idea for IBIZ to get some public exposure in a large magazine at very little expense.

I have to smile on this one...

IBIZ Car Wax will indeed be appearing at the NY Auto Show. I prefer Meguire's Gold Class or Westley's myself.

We're heading to Germany. The one heading to NY isn't our IBIZ guys. lol

Be well. Here's to good days ahead, Bo

HAHAHAHA Thanks for checking Bo, I was wondering what VKB's had to do with cars!

On another note, iBIZ just posted the Q1. I for one am anxiously awaiting your summarization!

WHOOOOA!! Do you think this is a good indicator of where this company is heading in the future?

Direct quote from Q1 report ending January 31, 2004:

"Revenues increased by approximately 115% to $161,949 in the three months ended January 31, 2004 from $75,310 in the three months ended January 31, 2003. The increase was in product sales resulting from the addition of new customers, the increase in volume sales to an existing national retailer and introduction and sales of our new products."

ok, ok, just one more quote from the Q1 and I'm done :

"Based on the
initial reception of our new product, the "Virtual Keyboard" (set to be delivered to retailers in April 2004) and the continued success of our Pocket Radio product, we are confident that our cash flows will be positive in 2004. We currently have a backlog of orders totaling $650,000."
 


Posted by Bart on :
 
Only a few things bother me here. One is this backlog thing is still going on. Now instead of 1 Apr for the VKB it is just Apr. I feel the reason cash flow is up is due to their acquring Synosphere and the Circuit City deal was not played up today as going thru with all the items being shipped. All no I am a big bull on IBZT but until I see real hard #####s on sales I will just set tight and hope for the best. Oh there is one super positive. Nothing about Canesta lately. It will reappear though went IBZT starts to move into the .05 and .06s again.

so what do you people think will happen to the price in lite of this filing...and other events..what does tomaro hold for us.
will the fileing be talken good or bad????
 
Posted by opiate94 on :
 
I think the filing will be taken as overall good, b/c there were more positives than negatives, and it really showed that iBIZ is a growing company, and has potential, which is basically what we all look for when we invest in a pennystock business, right?

I would say we close UP slightly, and due to market conditions recently, closing UP slightly is a great accomplishment IMO.

Question: wouldn't the report of $650,000 in backorders be ONLY for the quarter ending 31Jan04? If so, then that would mean the CC order is not reported on there, and the VKB's in that order totaled $297,000 right? Together that's $947,000 in backorders. That means that internet sales would only need to total 535 units ordered to bring the backorder total to over $1,000,000 as of today. That is a sweet number, and is not fact, but based on these numbers it very well could be. Anyone think I'm nuts here?

Please let there be no more problems with the production!!

Good call. Could you NOT odrder the VKB prior to 1/31? Also, wasnt the ciruit city purchase AFTER 1/31, meaning it WOULD NOT be included in the $650k?
 
Posted by opiate94 on :
 
iBIZ officially started taking orders of the VKB on 08Jan03, but the CC order was announced on 12Feb04. So..that's why I asked that question.

That's what I thought. So it's true then they could easily have over $1,000,000 in backorders as of today. Man I can't wait until THAT PR comes out. Imagine this:

"Over $1,000,000 in Virtual Keyboards on Backorder!"

There's a slight chance that the pps would rise if that was ever released, huh?

Opiate; It's hard to tell what effect these earnings will have on this stock near term! This market is pretty fickle & sometimes downright silly. But I see a long term future for this company that probably would seem too optimistic to many investors! Just same I think we see a move up tomorrow. The Technicals are on our side as we're still very much over sold!

Anyway one thing I know for sure,,,

The 10k represents the soul fundemental that will determine the future of the company and it's stock price.

From the thousands of posts on this and many boards, this 10k confirms what they have reported to us, and tells the truth of what this company has done to:

1) Emerge a relatively debt free company.
2) Leverage the belief in their busniess
plan and products via issuance of stock
in strategic ways.

First, what they have reported to us and the investment world about elimination of debt is TRUE according to the financial statements. The fees for stock conversion are their main expense in their income statement. The next quarter should reflect a similar or lesser amount for this conversion fee. But, as is also shown in the 10k...they are debt free.

Second, concerning the stock issuance. They obviously believe in taking the fullest advantage of shrinking cellular & computing technology. They feel that the VKB for pda's, handheld PC's, cell phones and smart phones will open up a global market worth 10's of millions of dollars. The bluedock will be able to link pda's and handheld pc's (and smartphones maybe) to peripherals, taking fullest advantage of shrinking technology. The result will be even more of an increase to gross sales.

We can clearly see they used the issuance of stock to bring them to this very time, which is at a breakpoint. Yes, I was encouraged that net sales increased 131% over the previous year, and that cost of sales were very much in check. The market should respond to that. However...after April 1st, they are poised to turn this balance sheet and statement of changes in financial position on it's head.

The market can add numbers very quickly and will respond in a positive manner just as quick when sales agreements are released.

Other companies trying to advance a product or idea have a hard time getting exposure and traction, thus their attempts at share leveraging to enter a market were at a high risk. Here, the O/S did not rise to epic levels (such as qbid and others), but most important to the market will be the retail agreements for vkb's, sales of existing product line, and new opportunites and markets that may open up...thus reflecting in a balance sheet with gross sales in the 7 and 8 digits in the quarters after the vkb release. Remember, I have mentioned other companies in previous posts who have major net losses, but their stocks have moved very strong because of high sales and solid potential. IBIZ is no exception, but they have a good chance to turn quick profits on their operations as opposed to other companies where sales aren't that strong, or costs to sell are higher. I would also look for a share buyback as revenue accrues, as they have bought back shares in the past years.

In sum, the dd is out there. The real potential has been known since late Decemeber. These numbers reflect what they have informed us and they report what products will drive their future.
The market waits the beginning of the new IBIZ Technology. And it won't be much longer for the whole world to see. Bo

**EVEN I WAS SURPRISED!**

I swear I wasn't even considering the earnings report period. Hell all I was thinking about was shipping & Germany just like everyone else. Earnings? No one mentioned it hardly.

No wonder Ken didn't sound worried in that interview he did. Remember he said they needed about a million to carry them through this year. He already knew they're as good as cash flow positive & it looks like he's going to scare up some 70 million dollars in revenue "if they under perform!"

Surprise me!

When they said 115% climb in revenue!

$650,000 in back orders!

Ken hasn't even taken the show to Germany yet & VKBs will be flying off the shelves this entire Summer!

I'm not sure exactly when but there's a run comming. We may stall at .11 & might even come all the way back to .08 before "scared money" (bashers, I mean you did know they were buying, right?) bails & takes meager profits! Yep, then swing traders start buying big. Somewhere around .15 momentum traders will have started piling on & then everyone will see the alarms going off on their screens & all hell will break loose for about three days! That's right, at least three days! Sometimes more. You've seen it many times before with the SIRIs, WELs, BCONs, NEOMs & so on. You people can name many I left out. Nice thing about this company is "WHEN" we go, our fundementals will be tight.

I know this sounds crazy but an R/S might not happen here. We are exactly the type of company that really benifits from it in so much as we're an up & comming, slipper wearing Cinderella! I'm not saying it won't happen but just don't be shocked if it never becomes an issue.

Yep! They surprised me! I wonder, was the street surprised? Does that cause a spike? Right about now I'm fondly visualising Dragon's charts where it's clear that this thing is VASTLY OVERSOLD! Woops sorry about those caps!

Yea we may not take off tomorrow but in the not too distant future I would have to say we're primed for a monster run!

Looks to me like after 24 years of devotion, Ken's about to realize all his dreams. Couldn't happen to a better guy!

Oh well, one thing I do know,,,,,

"These are the good old days!"

Hey purl I am not bo but I was thinking with that percentage have anything to do with that none of the orders have been filled yet and that in there filing it stated that they do not count it as revenue untill the product has been delivered. Thus it seems they have not recieved a dime for all those back orders "YET". and they are surrviving of there other products in this period of mass production.

Just my thought good be wrong lemme know what you think!

iBIZ TECHNOLOGY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004 AND 2003
(UNAUDITED)

2004 2003
---- ----
REVENUES:
Product sales $ 152,216 $ 65,879
Maintenance Agreements 9,733 9,431
------------ -----------
Total revenues 161,949 75,310

COST OF REVENUES 121,745 91,735
------------ -----------

GROSS INCOME (LOSS) 40,204 (16,425)


Purl, I'm not sure what your referring to, or honest, I would try my best to answer you. You mention the cost of revenue percentage. From the figures from the 10(k)(see above), the numbers reflect a dramatic improvement even without their key products involved in the mix yet. To compare:

1/04 1/03

Cost of Rev/Sales 79% 139%

Cost of Rev/
Total Revenue 75% 121%

Gross Income $140,204 ($16,425)


The cost of the convertable debt shown later in the income statement is what reflects their leveraged position (ie. their cost) to grow this company's future dramatically. I mentioned this in my previous post.

Again, I would honestly try to respond to any valid topic anyone wants to mention. I just wasn't sure what you were referring to. I hope this posts clarifies the cost of revenue issue you raised. Be well, Bo

 


Posted by Bo14172 on :
 
Not sure why the copy and paste 10k numbers in my previous post didn't line up the columns in the previous post. For that matter, not sure why the chart I made looked like scrambled eggs either..lol

To summarize,

Cost of Revenue/Sales (1/2003) 139%
Cost of Reveue/Sales (1/2004) 79%

Cost of Revenue/Total Revenue (1/2003) 121%
Cost of Revenue/Total Revenue (1/2004) 75%

Gross Income (1/2003) ($16,425)
Gross Income (1/2004) $140,204

As stated in my post of last night on the previous page of this topic, these numbers are positive, and don't yet reflect the introduction of the vkb and their upcoming products. The increase of sales in their existing product line however do obviously reflect consumer and market awareness in the month of January 2004. Bo

Hummm, I wonder where we'll be posting about IBZT in a month or so? Sure won't be Micro Penny Stocks!

BTW: Bo, You mentioned the turnaround that was visable back in DEC 03. That is exactly what I saw @ .0021 PPS. That's why I put my Nickle in here & have been buying ever since.

GLTA IBZT LONGS

Warmest Regards,

Bo, I cannot find that 110 percent figure
I cited. Clearly I lost track between reading
their 10Q and posting here.

There is some confusion for me. Previous
filings cite a 107 percent cost for sales,
but this new 10Q cites a greater figure
for previous filings, I think it is 122
percent or so, when it use to be 107 percent.

I am trying to understand those numbers and
figure out why current numbers do not match
well with numbers for early to middle 2003
year reports. No restatement filed, just
odd differences in cited numbers.

There is a five-million or so write off
being cited. I have not yet found the
source of this write off.

I pop in and read periodically to see
what is going on, but am not all that
well versed on Ibiz, nothing in detail.

Well so much for the report for today. I still think everyone is waiting on actual shipping dates and sales #s. Now saying that this little bull is trying to buy more at .035 as I can see it coming. Everyting is starting to build to a boiling point. If someone would just say that the CC order has been totally filled I would feel a heck of a lot better and the plant in asia was being opened to support the mass volume of orders. Good luck to us all.

Tech fair showcases future of work, play
Gathering offers hints of industry comeback
Tuesday, March 16, 2004 Posted: 11:42 AM EST (1642 GMT)

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Gathering for the world's biggest high-tech fair, computer and telecommunications executives can sniff something new in the air: significant economic growth.

Participants at the CeBIT information technology fair kicking off Tuesday in Hanover have been through three lean years, cutting the number of exhibitors as companies held back on spending for new phone and computer equipment after technology stock bubble burst.

But while the number of companies expected at the sprawling fairgrounds is down again this year, those that do make it can finally look ahead to a year of palpable growth, experts say.

"It would be nonsense to assume it's back to double digit growth," said Charles Homs, a senior analyst with research firm Forrester in Amsterdam. "It's not a high growth market any more."

Instead, firms selling the range of tech gear -- servers, routers, laptops, mobile phones -- will likely face an environment with "long-term, sustainable growth, the same as it is for any other industry," Homs said.

Forrester predicts overall spending on information and communication technology to rise 2.6 percent this year in four major European economies -- Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands -- and 2.9 percent in 2005. That compares with .80 percent last year and .77 percent in 2002 across hardware, software, services and telecommunications.

CeBIT organizers expect 6,411 exhibitors, down 191 from last year and well below 8,100 in 2001. Some of this year's decrease, however, appears to come from the sluggish German economy because the number of foreign firms signing actually up rose by 116 to 2,992.

This year's hot topics include the coming start of UMTS, or third-generation, mobile phone services, available already on a limited scale in several European countries and expected to accelerate toward the end of this year after several years of delay.

Attention will also focus on RFID, for radio frequency identification, with major retailers in the United States and Europe experimenting with using RFID chips to track pallets and cases in their supply chains.

Some of the early expectations about the technology are easing amid consumer concerns the chips could be used to track them without their knowledge, and predictions that the chips will remain too expensive to be on individual store items.

The chips can broadcast digital product information to receivers in store or warehouse shelves, for instance, enabling companies to instantly know what inventory they have.

Much of the consumer products slated to be shown this year are expected simply to be slimmer, faster and more powerful versions of technologies and products that appeared in the past two years: Digital phones equipped with cameras, for instance; more products equipped to use wireless LAN or Wi-Fi technology to link with other devices by short-range radio signal; and equipment linking personal computers with home entertainment devices such as televisions and DVD players and recorders.

Company presentations for the media start Tuesday at CeBIT, before German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder formally opens the March 18-24 show Thursday.

You won't be able to buy at those prices either unless they go down further. MM's are the only ones that get there orders at that level. You will have to go up a digit above them to fill your order. It;s unfortinate that this happens but it is the way they play the game.

Thanks, I was just curious because I don't have that problem buying IBZT shares with Scottrade.

High .0363 Low .034...My bid since open .035. I'm only buying $5K worth...This is frustrating!

I tried and tried to get in at .035 and never could. I finally give up and went to .0355 and that was like pulling teeth but finally got it done. I only want 200K more shares. But the volume is so low I guess it did not want to fool with it. Who knows. But now I have more at .0355. Good luck to all of the penny investors.
 
Posted by TimN88 on :
 
There really isnt a big difference between .035 and .0355. Its only like 1.5% lower, so for an order of 500,000 shares, you only would save $250 (17,550 instead of 17,750), so you shouldnt really worry about it.
 
Posted by Darknstrmys on :
 
Earlier BLUEWATER was saying something about a Rouge Effect, if the bid/ask hit the same number. Any thoughts?
 
Posted by Bob Frey on :
 
Bid and ask the same is usualy a sellers order moved down to the bid with 2 dif Market Makers.

One or the other will leave the tie when the order is filled.

Have also seen the bid go above the ask in a fast market ( Breaking news or? ). Just means someone wants to buy at his bid or better.

Bob,

Thank you for the explination. I had never heard of the Rogue Effect myself but have seen many of the examples that you stated.

TIM: I know. I was PO'd at Ameritrade for not filling me at .035 earlier in the day. The rest of the week tradetrek shows it moving a little to the upside the rest of this week. For what it is worth. May all have a enjoyable day tom in penny land.

I tried to tell you this AM at 6:14 but truthfully I don't think anyone here was supprised after those sweet eanings we got. That just pretty much cleared the roadblocks.

By the way, all of you know this was just the begining of a run, right! I believe we will exceed todays volume this week!

CEBIT - Sony's president opens Cebit trade show
Computing, telecommunications and entertainment are converging, Ando says


By James Niccolai, IDG News Service March 17, 2004



HANOVER, GERMANY - Sony's president opened the Cebit trade show on Wednesday evening with a speech that highlighted the show's emphasis on wireless data services and the convergence of computing, telecommunications and the Internet.

Kunitake Ando, Sony's president and chief operating officer, became the first executive from an electronics and entertainment company to open the giant trade show, which is being held in Hanover, Germany, and to make his point he was introduced on stage by two of Sony's latest talking robots.

"IT, communications and entertainment are all coming together," Ando said. "A world of connected devices is emerging with new applications and content that will delight consumers."

Sony, Nokia and Koninklijke Philips Electronics on Thursday morning will announce their joint development of a new wireless technology to further the steady advance of wireless computing, he said. He offered no details but devoted much of his speech to the rapid growth of wireless multimedia services.

"Our vision is to create a world where, regardless of the codec (coder-decoder) or operating system, users will be able to connect with anyone and enjoy content in a protected manner," he said.

Eight out of every 10 cell phones sold in Japan today are equipped with a digital camera, and customers use their phones to download songs, music videos and movie trailers, he said. Such devices, combined with the emerging 3G (third-generation) mobile data networks, provide a richer wireless experience that is like "the difference between listening to radio and watching color television," he said.

This year's Cebit marks the real start of the broadband era, in which the experience of end users will be transformed through the delivery of digital services tailored to their personal tastes, he said.

Ando was followed by German Chancellor Gerhard Schrφder, who discussed the importance of economic and social policies to advance the prosperity of Germany and the stability of the European Union.

Germans will be able to use digital signatures for all legal and business activities by the end of 2005, he said. And by the end of the decade, half of its citizens will have a broadband Internet connection and all television content will be digitized, he said.

Proper training and education are essential if all Germans are to become part of the "information society," he said. In mobile services, Germany has caught up with Sweden and Britain and is ahead of the U.S., he said.

Willi Berchtold, president of the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, or "Bitkom," opened the ceremony by heralding the arrival of an upturn in the economy after years of decline.

"This year's Cebit will carry the following message: The lean years are behind us and ahead are years of growth," he said.

Bitkom forecasts 4 percent growth in worldwide IT spending for 2004, with 3 percent growth in Europe and 2.5 percent for Germany, he said.

Kunitake Ando, Sony's president and chief operating officer, became the first executive from an electronics and entertainment company to open the giant trade show, which is being held in Hanover, Germany, and to make his point he was introduced on stage by two of Sony's latest talking robots.

"IT, communications and entertainment are all coming together," Ando said. "A world of connected devices is emerging with new applications and content that will delight consumers."

Sony, Nokia and Koninklijke Philips Electronics on Thursday morning will announce their joint development of a new wireless technology to further the steady advance of wireless computing, he said. He offered no details but devoted much of his speech to the rapid growth of wireless multimedia services.

"Our vision is to create a world where, regardless of the codec (coder-decoder) or operating system, users will be able to connect with anyone and enjoy content in a protected manner," he said.

Eight out of every 10 cell phones sold in Japan today are equipped with a digital camera, and customers use their phones to download songs, music videos and movie trailers, he said. Such devices, combined with the emerging 3G (third-generation) mobile data networks, provide a richer wireless experience that is like "the difference between listening to radio and watching color television," he said.

This year's Cebit marks the real start of the broadband era, in which the experience of end users will be transformed through the delivery of digital services tailored to their personal tastes, he said.

Ando was followed by German Chancellor Gerhard Schrφder, who discussed the importance of economic and social policies to advance the prosperity of Germany and the stability of the European Union.

Germans will be able to use digital signatures for all legal and business activities by the end of 2005, he said. And by the end of the decade, half of its citizens will have a broadband Internet connection and all television content will be digitized, he said.

Proper training and education are essential if all Germans are to become part of the "information society," he said. In mobile services, Germany has caught up with Sweden and Britain and is ahead of the U.S., he said.

Willi Berchtold, president of the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, or "Bitkom," opened the ceremony by heralding the arrival of an upturn in the economy after years of decline.

"This year's Cebit will carry the following message: The lean years are behind us and ahead are years of growth," he said.

Bitkom forecasts 4 percent growth in worldwide IT spending for 2004, with 3 percent growth in Europe and 2.5 percent for Germany, he said.
