Aikun welcomes Nintendo Switch

Posted by – October 22, 2016

Aikun has patented the Morphus X300 design, and is happy to see Nintendo join them in the same direction for the future of gaming. Aikun encourages Nintendo to reach out and to officially release all the back-catalog of Nintendo games from Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES officially into the Google Play, into an officially Nintendo-supported 3D-display enabled, controller optimized Nintendo games emulator for Android. For example, Nintendo could offer a $5/month or $10/month fee for unlimited gaming on Android/Switch, that could be perfect, and it could be very lucrative for Nintendo, to make all their games compatible with the 3 Billion Android devices that are shipped every year. We definitely expect that Nintendo Switch is also Android based and offers an LTE Sim card slot version, also possibly leading the way for a Nintendo Phone, Nintendo HDMI Stick TV Dongle and more. Android Smart TVs could have the Nintendo Switch Android app pre-loaded (with a 3-months free trial). Nintendo should also program and release all their Nintendo Switch games to be compatible with all modern Android devices, not to only run on Nintendo’s own hardware. Game developers only need to program their games once for Android, and that should make the games also available on all other Android devices shipped in the world. At the same time also Nintendo can release high quality well designed side game controller Bluetooth accessories to be used using with any sized smartphone and with any tablet, to add high quality game controls on each side of any Android or iOS device. Right now, Aikun encourages all gaming fans to consider buying the Aikun Morphus X300 which is immediately available on https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017CWO2CK and on http://aikun.co/index.php?ac=article&at=list&tid=114 (with Amazon.com ($249), Amazon.de (249€), Amazon.fr (249€) and Amazon.jp (28999¥) links and stock to be available by November)

Posted by – October 15, 2016

Shuoying is currently the OEM market leader of dual-lens 360 camera, with in-camera merge at 1080p at an affordable price. Mass manufactured since over 4 months (earlier than most competitors in the market), in partnership with the ARM SoC provider Sunplus iCatch, Shuoying’s design has become a favorite among some of the OEM brands who distribute this type of 360-degree dual-lens Wi-Fi streaming and on-MicroSD recording 1080p camera. Shuoying claims to have sold more than 200 thousand pieces of it already and hopes to be able to ship around 500 thousand of them by the end of the year. Shuoying (watch my video tour at their factory) has a history being towards the top as most popular sports camera having shipped over 7 million units since 2012, and also shipping over 500 thousand IP cameras per year. Now Shuoying is also manufacturing self-balancing scooters, powered skateboards and other devices like that.

SoftBank Pepper Humanoid Robot Business

Posted by – July 19, 2016

Before SoftBank announced their intention to acquire ARM, here’s the latest SoftBank Pepper Personal Robot with Artificial Intelligence deployed all over Japan, with voice conversations, it can Reads Emotions from people’s face. More than 11 thousand Pepper Robots have been deployed in Japan, at the entrance of SoftBank Telecom stores, and in many other stores and malls all over. Previously I interviewed Aldebaran Robotics Founder Bruno Maisonnier before he sold his company to SoftBank

My Opinion on ARM’s acquisition

Posted by – July 18, 2016
Category: Opinions

This had to happen after Brexit.

Masayoshi Son seems to be a good person, he says he wants maintain ARM’s independence while he’d like to improve ARM, but I worry if SoftBank has enough cash and future prospects to be able to sustain accelerated growth. Masayoshi Son is Japan’s richest man, but is that enough? How many Billions of dollars can SoftBank spend on accelerating ARM’s growth? Must ARM rely on the Japanese economy and on Alibaba’s stock price going forward?

While I have always been one of the biggest Google fanboys, yet I have also been very disappointed when Google doesn’t invest its cash where I think it’s needed. Hardware. I wish Google’s Alphabet would make a counter-offer, it could be at $45 Billion or so. Alphabet can afford it with their $75 Billion in cash on hand. Then ARM can be the A in Google’s Alphabet. I believe Alphabet would have enough cash and prospects for growth to fund ARM’s required accelerated growth.

The future of Technology has ARM at its core. Everything in the world needs to use ARM. It’s very important how the company is managed and how it is owned. I do wish to see technological developments surrounding ARM for it to get the proper backing in terms of cash. If SoftBank can have that type of cash and the desire to make it happen, that can be good. But I believe Alphabet has that kind of cash, I just wonder if they have the desire.

Alphabet should offer $45 Billion for ARM with all the same conditions as SoftBank. Larry Page, Sergey Brin, get to it.

One thing’s for sure. Europeans will loose control over the last remaining hope for global technological leadership. Thank you Brexit.

Category: Exclusive videos, ARM

Official video released at https://www.acceleratingtech.com/ a site to explain the SoftBank acquisition of ARM, they claim:
– SoftBank’s £17 offer price gives ARM shareholders a 43% premium on Friday’s closing share price and a 41.1% premium on the all-time high share price
– Assurance to double ARM’s UK headcount in the next five years and increase headcount outside the UK
– Leaves ARM’s successful partnership business model, culture and brand unchanged
– Great endorsement of UK tech
