MARKET WATCHERS at Isupply reckon global mobile-phone shipments fell in the first quarter of this year by some 12.8 per cent.

The revelation may not have phone firms crying into their Cristal as this often happens after Christmas, apparently.

Isupply reckons about 253 million handsets were shipped in the period, down from 290.1 million in Q4 2006.

Of the top five phone makers, only Samsung managed to up sales, posting a 9.1 per cent increase in shipments to 34.8 million units - up from 31.9 million in Q4 2006. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
