OVTI will be studied by hundreds of investment clubs with the December issue of their magazine from NAIC. I used to subscribe to this; they look for consistent, high quality growth companies that are attractively priced. Their primary analytical too is called an SSG, for Stock Selection Guide.

October 4 SUNNYVALE, Calif. and CHIBA, Japan, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OVTI - News), a leading independent supplier of CMOS CameraChip(TM) image sensors for high-volume applications, today launched its sixth generation 1.3 megapixel CameraChip sensor. Featuring a 2-micron pixel and 1/5-inch optical format, the OV9660 enables a 25 percent thinner camera module, meeting the requirements of ultra slim handset design.
October 3 The new OV6680 is intended principally for use in secondary cameras in the fast growing 3G video phone market, and has already been designed into several 3G handsets.
October 2 (WFC) This shipment of the first sample is a result of incorporating the overwhelmingly positive feedback that the Company has received from multiple handset customers for whom OmniVision has demonstrated the product.
