TiVo to tie up with Entertainment Weekly: report

(Reuters) - Digital video recorder maker TiVo Inc is set to enter into an agreement with Time Warner's Entertainment Weekly that will allow its users to automatically record shows suggested by the magazine's staff, the Wall Street Journal said.

TiVo expects to make the announcement on Wednesday, the paper said.

The alliance is part of a push by TiVo to differentiate itself from digital video recorders offered by cable companies, which have managed to find a bigger audience.

The financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed, the paper said.

Weak economy to sap handset market growth: Gartner

By Tarmo Virki

HELSINKI (Reuters) - A weakening global economy will blunt cellphone market sales growth this year, research firm Gartner said on Wednesday.

Gartner said it expects market growth to slow to 11 percent from 16 percent last year, while in U.S. dollar terms growth would slow to 9 percent from 11 percent.

The world's top cellphone maker Nokia has forecast the market will fall this year in euro terms.

The euro reached record highs above 1.60 against the U.S. dollar earlier this year, but was trading at 1.475 dollars on Wednesday, roughly the level where it started 2008.
