Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) beat
third-quarter forecasts and expects its
fourth-quarter results to surpass analysts'

falloff in global technology spending. For the
quarter that ended July 31, the printer and
computer maker earned 86 cents per share
excluding special items — up 21% vs. the
year-ago period and 3.5% above the average
estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Sales rose 10% to $28 billion, beating views by
2%.

Cell
phone sales continue to fall
U.S.
consumers bought 28 mil cell phones in Q2, down
13% from the year-ago period, according to a
report by researcher NPD Group. IT was the 3rd
straight quarter of lower sales and the lowest
number since NPD began tracking them in 2005.
The total value only fell 2% to $2.4 bil, as the
handsets sold tended to be more expensive and
have more features. Motorola's (MOT) phones were
most popular, but its share of the units sold
fell to 21% from 32%. • Apple (AAPL) updated
iPhone software to help fix connection problems
in Europe. T-Mobile said users can download the
software to their iPhones, but it wasn't clear
if the upgrade would fix all the glitches.
Meanwhile, Apple said batteries from a single
supplier are to blame for the meltdown of some
iPod Nano music players in Japan. Apple shares
fell 1.1% to 173.53.
