Finally got some good trading blocks in VLNC today. A couple 10k + went through and they looked like buys (as the price went up around the time of the trade). Someone on Yahoo message threads started a rumor that Sony was speculated to buy out VLNC for $32/share. THe integrity of that thread is very suspect, but is always good to mine for some good scoop now and then. Also, there was a note that AT&T is announcing a very long lasting battery on their PCS cellphones and speculation trying to figure out who the supplier is. THoughts? So, whether the conf. call is 2/9 or 2/17, the bottom line is that it's only 2 weeks away. Good news is that the stock action has had a positive bias as of late. Of course, in todays trading, if you have a stock that didn't go up, then you're in the wrong stock! (I have one, Sports Authority! Long term turnaround story.) FMK, good to see your back and contributing more. In hindsight, I could have sold my shares back in Dec, taken the tax loss, and gotten in much lower now. Oh well, live and learn. Regards to all, Paul

Steve, I remember writing something that may help to answer your question. Please refer to post #135 <<https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=1048006>> <<how does VLNC fit into this picture with NEC?>> The NEC/Moli battery pack is designed to fit in place of existing battery packs of slightly different technology (NiMh) for existing models of computers. Until VLNC announces an 8x10" design that fits the cover of a laptop or notebook, dimensions are limited to their standard 4x4" cells that can be stacked 3 or 4 high to fit in a CD Rom cavity and therefore would physically fit into any portable with a cd rom opening. The computer, however, would have to be electrically and electronically designed to connect to and charge the battery pack. It follows that NEC, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Acer, IBM, Dell etc etc could design models to accomodate Valence's battery pack to slide into their CD Rom slots. I remember mention on this thread of a Hewlett Packard model about 4 months ago that was being designed with this capability. Battery applications require many sizes, shapes, voltages and charge/discharge characteristics etc. A trip to the computer store should prove that portable computers are no exception. I believe Valence has wisely directed its efforts toward high volume of only 1 or 2 physical sizes. There has been a consensus that they will be able to sell all that they can produce for a long time. I hope this was helpful, Regards, FMK
