Samsung Telecommunications America said Wednesday that it is integrating America Online's instant message service into its new cellular phone, allowing users to check the availability of online "buddies" and send and receive messages without uttering a word. America Online's AIM service will be integrated into Samsung's new SGH-r225M phone, which will be available to U.S. consumers later this month.

The SGH-r225M is the latest offering from Samsung featuring a range of personalization options such as allowing users to assign colors to incoming calls from selected numbers.

NonStop servers range in price from $1 million to several million dollars, depending on the configuration. Traditionally, NonStop server customers are bought by financial and telecommunications companies, HP said. HP acquired the NonStop server business through its Compaq acquisition. Compaq in turn had acquired the NonStop line when it bought Tandem Computers Inc. Tandem in turn was founded by people who had left HP.

"The NonStop business has come full circle," said Nist, adding that HP is committed to the NonStop server business. While competitors were coping with sales declines, the NonStop server business grew by 4 percent in terms of revenue over the last four quarters with over 20 percent of revenue coming from new customers, Nist said.

The NonStop software suite, which includes a Java Virtual Machine, a J2EE enterprise application server and a NonStop SQL database, was also enhanced. The database, for example, now offers publish and subscribe functionality, which allows users to monitor their data and automatically update the database, HP said.

Also on the software side, software integration vendors Tibco Software Inc. and SeeBeyond Technology Corp. are now partners in HP's Zero Latency Enterprise initiative for the NonStop servers and each will port products to work on the NonStop platform, HP said.
