Nokia Reports Profits and Increased Smartphone Share in Q4

Nokia’s 4th Quarter results are out and they are pretty much happy. Well who wouldn’t be considering that their net income jumped by 65% which is above their forecasted earnings. Additionally, Nokia bared that they grew their smartphone market share to 40% from just 35% last quarter.

From the looks of it, Nokia is seeing brighter days ahead. But don’t tell that to the giant mobile phone manufacturer. They are still looking at conservative figures at least for the first quarter of 2010 with a 12% to 14% target. Yeah right!

Acer Aspire 4530 BIOS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those who want Windows 7 OEM activated on Acer Aspire 4530 laptops go here
You will find the SLIC 2.1 BIOS Files there just flash using the flashing utilities provided by Acer and activate.

There are 3 Version 1.3333, 1.3334 and 1.3334 with some updated modules from 1.3336
(Because there is a booting issue with 1.3336 BIOS)
The ones with New VGA BIOS is modified with a updated VGA BIOS Module taken from a Emachine Laptop also equipped with Nvidia 9100M G Graphics. So take your Pick.
My personal recommendation is Z05_3334 with new VGA BIOS Module.
