NOKIA REVISES THIRD QUARTER GUIDANCE UPWARD
Nokia upped its sales forecast for the third quarter due to higher device
sales and a smaller decline in handset prices than expected. Instead of
results in the €7.9 billion ($9.7 billion) to €8.2 billion
range, sales should reach between €8.4 billion and €8.5
billion, the company said in a statement.

PRODUCT GUIDE: SUN GALAXY 1
Sun has delivered a noticeably well-engineered hardware platform that
seems primarily aimed at HPTC and grid computing applications using
Solaris. A clever case combined with speedy CPUs and the latest in
management protocols means this server should do well in most racks. We
just wish the box hadn't been so pre-production.
