The deal will allow the two companies to cut the cost of 3G development. But while both firms will certainly benefit, the advantages will be short lived as other manufacturers follow suit. Consolidation in this industry seems inevitable and companies trying to 'go it alone' will find the market an increasingly difficult place to survive.

It's been a good week for BHP, which also managed to resolve a long-running pollution dispute and gain approval for another oil joint venture. Last year's merger has left the Anglo-Australian company in a strong position to invest in new markets and distance itself from old mistakes. If it carries on as it has, BHP is set for a strong future.

The statement follows Sony Ericsson's announcement earlier in the week that it would focus on higher-margin devices. In short, the company wants to take Nokia's crown in producing premium products that still command huge market share.

The Q looks and feels like a home entertainment system, while also allowing the owner to play GameCube games. As a result, it should prove popular among the 18-25 year olds who have driven sales of Sony's PlayStation. The device is the result of a 1999 agreement between Matsushita and Nintendo - and may not be their last GameCube-related product.

Sharp is in a good position to produce the device: its PDAs which lack mobile capabilities have sold extremely well.

Kirin is following its Japanese rival Asahi into the rest of Asia. Expanding abroad will provide Kirin with growth opportunities outside a difficult domestic market.

The mass affluent service, launched in a blaze of publicity and hype a year ago, appears to be on its last legs. It has consistently failed to gain sufficient customers to meet its ambitious targets. Worse still, with Merrill Lynch looking for ways to quit the venture, it also risks losing one of the strong brand names that it relies on to attract customers.

The automakers will also increase their cross-shareholdings, in a move designed to protect both companies from a hostile takeover. The merits of such defensive strategies in general are debatable, but this particular deal just seems bizarre. None of the companies large enough to buy Renault and Nissan are currently in anything like a position to do so.
