Christmas was good for electronics and the start of a prosperous semiconductor New Year. Semiconductor inventories are low and demand is increasing around the world. Remember, there are 1,338,612,968 people in China that will need mobile internet devices and the stimulus money is gushing over there. There are a total of 6,795,200,000 people in the world that will need mobile internet devices and today there are only about 1,000,000,000 smartphones in use.  Considering that you will purchase a new smartphone every 2-3 years, if you believe 2010 will be a good year for semiconductors, 2011 will be even better.
