<description><![CDATA[Apple is staying on message about the imminence of the post-PC era proclaimed by CEO Steve Jobs.In a midweek meeting with Goldman Sachs analyst Bill Shope at Apple headquarters, Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook said he &quot;remained remarkably optimistic about the demand for theiPad and the long-term market opportunity fortablets.&quot;Could tablets outpace PCs in a few years(Credit:Apple)As a result, Apple's COO sees &quot;no reason why the tablet market shouldn't eclipse the PC market over the next several years,&quot; according to a copy of Shope's note on the meeting sent to CNET.Shope himself believes that iPad shipments will surpass expectations this year and next and that demand for PCs will suffer as the tablet market continues to take off.Related links&amp;149' The 'post-PC era' might be closer than we think&amp;149' Yes, tablets are hurting PC sales...kind of&amp;149' Five big questions heading into Apple's WWDCWith Apple seeing improved supply and rising demand for its tablet, the analyst is forecasting iPad sales of 8.1 million for Apple's third fiscal quarter, ending in June, a jump of 72 percent from the same quarter last year. That estimate compares with only 4.69 million iPads that Apple sold during its second quarter when some analysts had been eyeing sales of anywhere from 5 million to 9 million.But Apple faced challenges trying to ramp up enough supply of the iPad 2 to keep up with demand. J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz also believes that second-quarter sales of the iPad were lower than expected due to timing issues, pointing to a statement from Apple that it was facing the &quot;mother of all backlogs.&quot;The iPad 2 debuted in early March and went on sale later that month.Apple management told Shope that they've continued to work to meet iPad demand and that they were making as many devices as they could.&quot; Also in the meeting were Apple's retail head Ron Johnson and Apple chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer, who added to the air of optimism by touting the long-term prospects of the iOS ecosystem in general and theiPhone in particular. Though some Apple investors have been concerned over the possibility that the company won't refresh the iPhone until later in the year, demand for the iPhone 4 continues to be high both in the U.S. and abroad. Apple now has 200 carriers for the iPhone, up from 186 at the end of the March quarter, noted Shope, and is seeing heavy demand for the phone from its vast network of Apple stores. In a further retail push, the company plans to open another 50 stores annually this year and beyond and revamp its existing stores. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Engadget)Earlier this week I broke down some of the elements it takes to create an outstanding cell phone screen. Coincidentally, this week is also SID 2011, a conference in LA devoted entirely to display technology. Toshiba's LCD panel pictured above is one gem on exhibit. It boasts a 720x1,280-pixel HD resolution on its 4-inch screen, which gives it a pixel ratio of 367 pixels per inch (ppi). TheiPhone 4's Retina Display is the current king, boasting 367ppi on a significantly smaller 3.5-inch screen with a 960x640-pixel resolution, but if this Toshiba-made effort makes it to market before an updated iPhone, Apple will have lost its major marketing claim to fame.In addition, Toshiba's display panel features a high contrast ratio and an impressive color gamut (72 percent NTSC ratio), both elements that go into reproducing color and sharpness on the screen. We're still a ways from knowing which manufacturer will partner with Toshiba to introduce the smartphone screen, but it should arrive on a handset later this year, according to Engadget. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sony Ericsson saw its profits cut in half during the first quarter, but the company managed to stay in the black despite a drop in shipments and a blow to its supply chain from the Japanese earthquake.Android smartphones such as the Xperia X10 have helped buoy Sony Ericsson.(Credit:Josh Miller/CNET)For the quarter ended March 31, the mobile phone maker reported net income of 11 million euros ($15.7 million), down from 21 million euros in the year-ago quarter. Despite the drop, results beat the average of analysts' estimates, which had called for a loss of 27.1 million euros, according to Bloomberg. Sales fell 19 percent to 1.145 billion euros from 1.405 billion a year ago.Sony Ericsson has been refocusing its product portfolio on higher-end Android smartphones, a strategy that seems to be bearing some fruit. Overall, the company estimates that its share of the smartphone market during the quarter was 5 percent in terms of units and 3 percent in terms of value.&quot;Sony Ericsson's profitability continues as we accelerate our shift towards an Android-based smartphone portfolio, with smartphones comprising over 60% of our total sales during the quarter,&quot; CEO Bert Nordberg said in a statement. &quot;Towards the end of the quarter we introduced the highly anticipated Xperia Arc and Xperia Play, which have been well received by both operators and consumers around the world.&quot;But the new Experia smartphones didn't have a great impact on shipments since they were released later in the quarter. And along with the rise in smartphones has been a decline in the number of feature phones, leading to an overall drop in shipments. For the quarter, the company shipped 8.1 million phones, 23 percent fewer than the 10.5 million shipped a year ago. Those numbers disappointed analysts, who had been forecasting shipments of 9.6 million units, Bloomberg said.The mobile phone maker has also been feeling the effects of last month's earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The devastation has led to disruptions in Sony Ericsson's supply chain, another factor that has stalled phone shipments. A week after the earthquake, the company was already expecting issues with its supply chain as the area affected in Japan is home to a large number of component suppliers. The disruptions are also likely to continue to constrain supplies.&quot;The second quarter and possibly third will be difficult because of Japan,&quot; said Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi, according to Reuters.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
