In our original story – 'Nokia positions NFC as the QR code's nemesis' here, GoMo News hadn't fully appreciated the full strengths of the company's attitude towards NFC. The Finnish mobile phone giant really does view NFC as a complete replacement for QR/2D barcodes. It's definitely a case of anything a QR code can do, NFC can do better. Except that currently the cost of a single NFC tag is massively more than a single QR code. Say 300 per cent at a rough guess? Nonetheless, the smartphone maker is determined to get a fully functional NFC eco-system up and running (certainly in the UK) via a service called the nfc hub.As we rightly surmised, in order for NFC to work with printed stationary – such as a menu, there has to be an NFC chip embedded into it.

What the nfc hub does, therefore, is provide a range of materials onto which the user's information can be printed. The list includes A3/A4 posters; stickers; business cards; and tags.

Using an NFC enabled business card, for example, is simplicity itself.

All you have to do is touch the card against an NFC ready handset and the information it contains will be downloaded to the mobile phone.

Just as with QR codes, if the data link is dynamic, then the information sent to your handset will always be current. Even if your job title or telephone number has changed, for instance.

The catch is that adding a QR code to a business card costs absolutely nothing. In the case of a single NFC business card it is £7. So that's 700 per cent more expensive.

The posters and stickers start from £20 but you can get a tag only for £3. In certain circumstances the pricing can be justified but for many marketing campaigns the cost could easily be prohibitive.

The best aspect to the nfc hub is that the products aren't confined to Nokia handsets only.

The site admits it is 'powered by Nokia' but the NFC enabled stationary will work with handsets supplied by Samsung; BlackBerry/RIM; LG; Motorola; and Sagem.

The nfc hub is a start because the products require virtually no technical knowledge to be used by marketers. An NFC campaign still has to be planned intelligently, though.

It's no good putting up NFC stickers in your pub – a practice which GoMo News could christen 'war-tagging', if the tags don't point to a mobile-friendly web site.

Interesting disclosures today.

It seems to me that with options the concert party hold around 44% of the shares.

They need another 6% - the small investors who came in at 4-5 appear to have taken the profit already. Very slack trading yesterday.

Those institutions who came in at 7p will want to make a profit and do not appear to be part of the concert party. (Somebody illuminate me - does a financier to the buy out have to declare?) Say Fidelity have agreed to provide the funds for the buy out for a share of the equity would they have to declare their interest?

Black Rock have got out and it is interesting that the former director of finance appears to have either been shafted or not wanted to be part of the operation.

We will know the offer price in the next few days. I reckon 7-8 but could be as high as 9. Anything more is out of the question but I would be very pleased if it was more.

I for one am not going to accept any offer - not that it will make an iota of difference with my holding.

Am confused of suffolk - 1/ ESTONIA you did mean add a point to the 50p ie .5p? and 2/ as harrytrad3 has ? Mel_d1------ now lost in space !!rovi

[harrytrad3] 31/8/2011 15:56

MelD elaborate on what you mean when you say ` when it returns to market......`

[estonia] 31/8/2011 12:43

should read 'point'

[estonia] 31/8/2011 12:42

yes nice hol thanks harrytrad

[estonia] 31/8/2011 12:42

harrytrad of course at this stage 50 p is not looking realistic..........

.........at this popint in time

[666james] 30/8/2011 20:28

I do apologise Estonia I thought I had read one of your posting saying wot a good guy he was. I must have been mistaken.I think we need some competition to make this one go. We have some days to go yet so fingers and toes crossed.

[harrytrad3] 30/8/2011 18:22

Estonia,(I hope you enjoyed your holiday),

Reality check though, the chap in Q is looking to take the company, and its prospects with him. Clear implications for us holders, including you!

How are you going to get your 50p a share now?

[estonia] 30/8/2011 15:54

well 666james cant remember saying he was a '' whizz'' but after saying that think you would rather have this CEO on your side rather than against you..............he does seem to make things work and certainly grow a Company........

[cheify] 29/8/2011 22:36

hope your right Estonia,cant see it myself,i think 7.5 to 8p tops

[666james] 29/8/2011 17:59

Thanks for responding Estonia. Any comments on the "whizz" man ?

[estonia] 29/8/2011 16:05

good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.............well the wasp nest is being shaken somewhat I see..............now this could have a healthy outcome........but I understand the concerns of the small shareholder........the present price is a give away...........and it would be great if a more substantial bidder came into the ring............10 p is still cheap as chips............the p[otentail of the Company is still enormous.....and I belive we will see some interesting movement this week..

[mel_d1] 28/8/2011 23:50

Tomorrow being a bang holiday it most likely doesn't count as one the 10. that being the case, the end of 10 days will be not Friday, but next Monday.

[666james] 28/8/2011 11:51

Well, I really thought Estonia would have been on by now. Ah well! His input will not make one bit of difference to the outcome here.Just hope we can hit double figures.Good luck to all share holders

[darias] 27/8/2011 11:32

I agree with Camacord.

6-7p is the price it seems that Black Rock have been selling. They should know which way the wind blows.

The fly in the oitment for Remi is Ivor Richards. He is not likely to sell for 7p but can be offered a partnership.

Fidelity are not likely to accept 7p either but can they also be offered a finance deal.

[666james] 26/8/2011 21:33

10p would suit me as well...but might have to take a bit less, I hope not

[harrytrad3] 26/8/2011 17:55

Estonia also said he would not sell until 50p was reached.

Where will next Friday take us.

If the offer comes in at 10p I am off all things being equal

[666james] 25/8/2011 12:23

I think Estonia is returning from hols this weekend and I will be interested to see what he says with regards to the bid. But he did say at one point that Remi was a "whizz" but at what ? Removing value from private shareholders ?. We will see.

[harrytrad3] 25/8/2011 11:24

Mel D! which brings you back to my guess: 6.5p

I dont like this. IEN is flying. Documerix reversed into it (cash and all) and now its chap Remi seems intent on driving away with it and the rest of PSQ through the front door.

[mel_d1] 25/8/2011 10:49

Canaccord, the agent for MBO today and yesterday has been propping the price to 6p. For example, today the agent bought 19900 shares at 5.75 and sold them they were running away from 6p on the upside (Canaccord sold 54000 at 6.22). So Canaccord is actively controlling the price at 6p which means they may offer 7p on the day (next Friday their 10 days window of MBO is up. whether they can extend it or not I don't know). 6 or 7p looks like the offer price.

[mel_d1] 25/8/2011 10:33

To be fair on Laxmi8867 who declared his 175K holding, I declare I have 140K and I am not loosing money at current price because most of my accumulation was at 4.x and 5.x. However, a good 11 years ago I bought 5K at about a £1.15!

Now I have made that on Barc.l kaz.l, arm.l. and lloy.l. Move away from penny shares. it is mugs game!

PSQ, I now hold on to, as I am convinced I get 6p or more for PSQ. Therefore I am not selling at 5.8p.
