150 Million Cell Phones In Junk Drawers And Closets

Cell Phones Always Top the Wish List of Grads and Dads

Anyone buying a cell phone as a gift this year should make selling the old one to CellForCash.com a part of their buying decision.

Ocala, FL (PRWEB) June 16, 2007 -- With Father's Day and graduations around the corner, a new cell phone can make the perfect gift. Gift givers upgrading their Dad or the graduate in the family have a rewarding option for disposing of their old cell phones - sell them online at CellForCash.com.

According to industry statistics more than 150 million cell phones will be upgraded this year - that means 150 million will be retired. Most of those retired cell phones will be stockpiled in the junk drawers and closets of America.

"For most people, selling their old cell phone is an afterthought," said James Mosieur CEO of
RMS Communications, the company that operates CellForCash.com. "When people upgrade, selling their old cell phone should be part of their buying decision." Prices range from just a few dollars to as much as $300. "With over 600 models listed there's a good chance that the cell phone you're retiring will bring you a couple of bucks" Mosieur added.

The process is easy and can be started before the actual upgrade. Here's how it works. The user finds their old cell phone in the list of phones CellForCash.com accepts; they enter their shipping and payment information; CellForCash.com then sends them a postage paid box to return their old cell phone; after the cell phone is tested a check is sent. The whole process takes 30 to 45 days.

Mosieur recommends that gift buyers start the process at CellForCash.com, determining what the soon to be retired cell phone will be worth and starting a transaction. This will help in determining the budget for the new purchase and get a postage paid box on the way.

"Since the box will take a few days to arrive, users can start their transaction just before they buy their upgrade," said Mosieur.

The market changes so quickly and new cell phone models are introduced nearly every week so there is a chance that your old cell phone has no value. In those instances CellForCash.com will recycle it for free or make it available to victims of abuse and senior citizens through their national partnership with the
911 Cell Phone Bank.

About CellForCash.com
CellForCash.com pays cash for used cell phones, and makes the process simple by displaying the phones it will buy and the prices it will pay for them right on the web site. It also provides sellers with already-addressed, postage-paid mailing boxes. The site lists over 600 models from 21 manufacturers including Motorola, Nokia LG and Samsung.

Business Information Search Engine Looks For B2B Advertisers

ZoomInfo Opens Business Information Search Engine to B2B Advertisers

ZoomInfo.com Cited by Nielson/NetRatings as the Fastest Growing Network.

Waltham, Mass. (PRWEB) June 25, 2007 -- According to Nielson/NetRatings, with 275% annual growth, ZoomInfo is the fastest growing network in the country, closely followed by YouTube at 271%. Now, through an agreement with Ask.com to serve syndicated ads across its business information search engine, ZoomInfo enables business-to-business marketers to have direct access to over 4.5 million unique monthly visitors. Marketers will now be able to target a highly coveted business audience, based on searches for product categories, companies, industries and more.

Enquiro, a search engine marketing firm that provides search marketing and usability consulting specifically tailored for B2B marketers, recently conducted an in-depth study of online usage by B2B buyers. Enquiro's research found that 63% of B2B buyers start with a search engine and 85% use a search engine at some point during their buying process. However, according to Enquiro, more than one third of those B2B buyers could not find everything they were looking for via traditional search.

In April, ZoomInfo unveiled its new ZoomInfo.com site to address the specific needs of business information searchers. ZoomInfo.com users are business people looking for comprehensive information on industries, companies, people, products and services. ZoomInfo delivers highly relevant results that are optimized for its business-oriented audience. Whereas traditional search engines treat a search for "enterprise router" as a set of keywords and return a mixed-bag of results, ZoomInfo's semantic search technology understands that "enterprise router" is a unique business concept - in this case a product - and returns a list of companies that compete in the enterprise router business.

With its partnership with Ask.com, ZoomInfo.com is opening a powerful B2B marketing platform to online advertisers. ZoomInfo's business users, coupled with the search engine's highly relevant results, create a high impact opportunity for B2B advertisers. ZoomInfo.com users average about 15.5 million business-oriented searches each month. Through the new relationship with Ask.com, B2B advertisers will be able to place targeted advertising next to these highly focused business searches.

"Until now, B2B search engine marketing has been drowned out by consumer keyword ads on traditional search engines," said Bryan Burdick, COO of ZoomInfo. "Enquiro's research proves that B2B buyers are committed to the process of looking online for vendors, but it's a painful process because traditional search engines don't cater to their needs. ZoomInfo understands this, and has delivered a search engine designed with the business user in mind. And now, we're addressing the distinct needs of B2B marketers who need to deliver their messages to a highly targeted, valuable, audience. In the coming months, we expect to announce more opportunities designed to help these marketers further reach that audience."

About ZoomInfo
ZoomInfo is a business information search engine used to quickly find information about industries, companies, people, products and services. ZoomInfo is used by sales and marketing professionals to identify business opportunities, by recruiters to locate talent, and by anyone conducting in-depth research about products, services and businesses. ZoomInfo's semantic search engine continually crawls the Business Web - the millions of company Websites, news feeds and other online sources - to identify company and people information which is then organized into fresh, comprehensive and objective profiles. ZoomInfo currently has profiles on nearly 36 million people and over 3.8 million companies, and its search engine adds more than 20,000 new profiles every day.

According to Nielson/NetRatings, ZoomInfo is the fastest growing network in the country, with 275% annual growth. More than 4 million people search www.ZoomInfo.com every month. In addition, over 1,700 customers, including Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Oracle, PepsiCo and 20% of the Fortune 500, use ZoomInfo's patented search tools. ZoomInfo is privately held and based in Waltham, Massachusetts.

End of Life Predicted By Laser Module

Laser Module Predicts End of Life

As a laser diode approaches the end of its operational life, its imminent failure is signalled by an increase in the current being drawn from its drive circuitry. Typically, when the current draw reaches a value of 120% of its original operating value, the laser diode is considered to have reached its "Near End of Life" condition.

Hatfield Broad Oak, UK (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- Photonic Products, the UK opto-electronics device manufacturer and laser diode specialist, is showcasing new 635nm Photon laser modules with "Near End of Life Detection" facility at LASER 2007.

As a laser diode approaches the end of its operational life, its imminent failure is signalled by an increase in the current being drawn from its drive circuitry. Typically, when the current draw reaches a value of 120% of its original operating value, the laser diode is considered to have reached its "Near End of Life" condition.

PM-NEOLD laser diode modules have an integral "Near End of Life Detection" facility which is set to respond when this condition has been reached. The generated signal can be utilised by the user to trigger an audible alarm or an LED warning light. The circuit is set to be fail safe, i.e. if there is a wire breakage, the alarm signal will be triggered.

The highly reliable and efficient laser modules have optical output powers from 0.9mW to 18mW at a lasing wavelength of 635nm, power stability greater than 5 percent, operating voltage of 3-6V DC and operating temperature from -10 degrees to +50 degrees Centigrade. The lens may be adjusted to produce either a collimated beam or a focused spot, or replaced by other optical systems such as line generators.

The PM-NEOLD range of laser modules has been designed as a complete laser diode solution for OEM use in diverse applications such as industrial alignment and positioning, medical fluorescence and bar code readers.

Outsourcing Providers Surpass $200 Billion

Top 25 Outsourcing Providers Surpass $200 Billion

MMI identifies the largest providers for outsourced electronics manufacturing.

Burlington, VT (PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- Manufacturing Market Insider, a newsletter specializing in the EMS (electronics manufacturing services) industry, has compiled its annual list of the 25 largest providers for outsourced electronics manufacturing. Consisting of both EMS providers and ODMs (original design manufacturers), the Top 25 outsourcing providers generated total revenue of $205.3 billion last year. What's more, Top 25 revenue increased from 2005 by 21.6%.

"Outsourcing of electronics manufacturing and related activities has rather quietly become a huge business on which many OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) now depend. A 21.6% growth rate for the Top 25 shows how robust this outsourcing business is overall. Top 25 results also reveal the growing influence of Taiwan-based companies in the
outsourcing space," said John Tuck, editor and publisher of Manufacturing Market Insider (http://www.mfgmkt.com).

Taiwanese companies controlled a clear majority of Top 25 revenue in 2006. The 15 Taiwan-based companies in the Top 25 accounted for sales of $123.4 billion, or 64.8% of group revenue. According to MMI, Taiwan's predominant share results primarily from the rapid growth of the ODM business in Taiwan and the meteoric rise of one Taiwan-based company, Hon Hai Precision Industry.

Top 25 outsourcing providers were ranked based on 2006 sales expressed in US dollars. In order, the top ten were Hon Hai, Flextronics, Asustek Computer, Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics, Solectron, Jabil Circuit, Sanmina-SCI, Celestica and Inventec. Five out of the ten companies are Taiwan-based.

The Top 25 group consisted of 13 companies classified by MMI as EMS providers and 12 companies identified as ODMs. Combined revenue growth of the ODMs was nearly five percentage points higher than that of the EMS providers. Still, EMS providers represented a majority of Top 25 revenue.

More information on the Top 25 outsourcing providers can be found in the May 2007 edition of MMI.

Founded in 1991, Manufacturing Market Insider is a newsletter providing dedicated monthly coverage of the EMS industry.
