NI Technology Research Updates Outlooks for Apple, Research in Motion, Nokia, EMC, VMware, Juniper Networks, and Motorola

PRINCETON, N.J., -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Research in Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM), Nokia (NYSE: NOK), EMC (NYSE: EMC), VMware (NYSE: VMW), Juniper Networks (Nasdaq: JNPR) and Motorola (NYSE: MOT).

Editor Paul McWilliams has helped his subscribers generate huge returns on undervalued tech stocks in 2009. Out of the 80 stocks highlighted in his Undervalued Tech Stocks reports, 21 have produced returns in excess of 70% year to date. All of these were ranked as either good "strategic" or "speculative" buys. The average return for all stocks ranked as either "speculative" or "strategic" buys was 40.7%, better than twice the return of stocks he thought readers should avoid.

McWilliams now turns his attention to his quarterly State of Tech reports. In this exclusive series of reports, McWilliams offers data, charts, and analysis that illustrate important tech paradigms and highlight important trends that will move stocks during the upcoming quarter.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his most recent State of Tech report:

-- The smartphone sector has been a bright spot during the last six months and many of the stocks in the sector have posted significant gains. What has held the price of Nokia down? Is there a value proposition here that Wall Street is missing?

-- What factors have set Apple and RIM apart from the competition in the smartphone market? What lessons did Apple learn from battling with Microsoft over the years that it has leveraged to build differentiation in the smartphone market?

-- Without a doubt, the value proposition of EMC is complicated by its 84% stake in VMware. By breaking down both how VMware is represented in EMC's stock price and on EMC's income statements, McWilliams helps both EMC and VMware investors see the true value proposition of both stocks individually and combined under the EMC ticker. What is his outlook for these companies for the second half and how does he think the value proposition stacks up?

-- The price of Juniper is up 43% since McWilliams called it a good "strategic" buy in March? What is McWilliams' fair value target for the stock? Is he recommending that investors continue to build positions in Juniper at the current price?

-- Now that Motorola shares have reached the $6.50 short-term price target that McWilliams set in March, is there room for further gains from the stock or is it time to take profits?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 175% since its inception versus 2% for the S&P 500.
