I have been following this since March 2021 and it has never before looked this good. Especially considering the share price for what you get by buying today. 
Business fundamentals are improving quarter by quarter.

An article about Honor’s upcoming AI Connect:
https://www.androidpolice.com/cross-os-file-sharing-from-unexpected-source/
Some picks:
I’ve used Magic Ring, and it works well. The new AI Connect that enables all-ecosystem file-sharing seems to be trending down that same path. I saw the feature demoed at MWC, and while it requires a separate app to handle the transfer, the file was transferred without a hitch and did so quickly. Not only is Android to iOS possible, but Honor said it will soon expand this cross-OS file-sharing feature to macOS and Windows.
The existing Quick Share option sometimes works between Windows and Android. When it does, it almost feels like magic to quickly share files on my PC to my phone with only a couple of taps, no waiting for downloads and uploads, and no messing with cables. Just a smooth transfer. For many, adding macOS to the mix will be a game-changer in many ways.
AI Connect won’t solve the problem of sending files when you and your friends aren’t around each other, which is still a messaging problem. Honor’s solution to file sharing isn’t the only one trying to solve this cross-OS problem, but it will bring some features and consistency that those options can’t. This is primarily due to Honor’s longtime development of hardware and software and the collaborations with Google and Qualcomm. The next time you want to share a file with your iPhone friend, it will soon be easier and better quality.
Hopefully this has something to do with Elabs but let’s see. I think many OEMs would pursue for installing an app one time to allow for some blocking of some brands i.e. Samsung from the ecosystem. This could be one reason for this. Second could be maintaining privacy between the devices.
This is interesting from last fall:

Some picks:
Staying within a single ecosystem (such as Apple, Samsung, Android, or Windows) has perks, like seamless file transfers. Still, you may need to send files to different operating systems. For this, we rely on texting apps like WhatsApp or cloud services like Google Drive. Recently, I discovered the LocalSend app, which works across all major operating systems, including Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS. It’s the perfect alternative to Quick Share and AirDrop that I’ve been searching for.

It’s the perfect alternative to Quick Share and AirDrop that I’ve been searching for.
The only limitation is that LocalSend requires both devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network, as it uses local network connections rather than Bluetooth. This setup might be less convenient when you’re on the go, but it’s perfect for transferring files at home or in the office. If needed, you can use a mobile hotspot to create a local network and then use LocalSend.
So this was basically a free competitor which requires the devices to be in within same WiFi network etc. So this has nothing “new” whereas Elabs Seamless can do it without any existing connections etc.

Some picks here, not the whole article:
Sharing files between different operating systems, such as Android and iOS, is becoming easier with solutions such as Honor’s AI Connect. This technology allows data to be transferred quickly and securely, without the need for an internet connection. In addition, innovation in applications and platforms makes information exchange more efficient and accessible. Data security is guaranteed by encryption, allowing users to share their information without worry.
Honor’s AI Connect is an easy-to-use tool that connects Android and iOS devices. It lets you quickly share files like images, videos, and documents. This technology uses a Wi-Fi connection to transfer data, making it much faster than sending via text or email.
When you launch AI Connect , the app creates a network between your devices. This means you don’t need an internet connection. Simply select the file you want to share. Then choose the receiving device and you’re done. Your file will be sent in seconds.
While AirDrop uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to create a connection between Apple devices, AI Connect does the same thing but is designed to work with different operating systems. This means you can share files between an iPhone and an Android without any hassle.
Both tools are fast and secure, but they have their differences. AI Connect stands out for being inclusive, allowing more people to connect. With it, there is no need to worry about whether your friend has an Android or an iPhone. Just use the app, and file sharing happens in just a few taps.
The future of cross-OS sharing looks bright. As technology advances, the barriers between iOS and Android are becoming less and less common. This means that it will be easier to share files between users on different platforms.
Innovations in sharing apps are driving this change. Solutions like Honor’s AI Connect show how this is possible. They allow anyone to quickly send and receive files, regardless of the device they use.
Another trend is the growing adoption of open standards. These technologies allow developers to create applications with better sharing capabilities. The goal is to ensure that everyone can connect, without complications or limitations.
Security is also improving. More and more sharing tools are using strong encryption. This ensures that data remains protected during transfer. Both Android and iOS users can feel safe sharing their information.
Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence is making sharing more efficient. This will make it possible to transfer multiple files at the same time in a more organized way. The future seems to bring speed, security and simplicity for all users.
Do I need an internet connection to use AI Connect?
No, transferring files via AI Connect does not require an internet connection as it uses direct Wi-Fi between devices.
So the Honor AI Connect can create a wifi directly between the two devices. This is more advanced than the free competitor software in the second article above that requires same wifi to be in use (?).
The big question is if this is actually Elabs’ Seamless sensor in use OR wheter this is just Honor’s own software? Is it even possible to have a direct wifi between two devices (iOS and Android) unless Elabs technology is in play?
It’s plausible scenario that Elabs has something to do with this as they are already providing the proximity sensor and there was that PoC agreement from 2023. We’ll see.

Thanks for sharing 
This is hopefully Elabs software.
Lenovo har vel fabrikker i USA? Rammes de av tollen? Og mobiltelefonene selges vel mest i Afrika, Asia?
Det at kronen blir sterkere er bummer da, men til gjengjeld så var den på samme nivå ifjor og har egentlig stortsett vært på disse nivåene og ikke 11 pluss.

Dette innlegget ble rapportert og er midlertidig skjult.
Heldigvis så har Elabs virksomhet i flere land. Dette er for å holde kostnadene nede.
Lenovo har en liten fabrikk der, men det virker som det muligens kun er en fabrikk for sammensetning av PC’er. Litt usikker, uansett må vell delene til PC’ene produseres i et annet land vil jeg tro så da er det delene som får tollen.
For smartphone segmentet har de kundene Elabs lanserer flest mobiler en samlet markedsandel på under 10%. For laptop segmentet har lenovo 17% markedsandel i USA, mot 24,5 % på verdensbasis. Det hjelper selvfølgelig ikke med toll i USA for salgene til Lenovo, men det vil nok være større problemer for f.eks apple som har rundt 60% av smartphone markedet og heller ikke produserer i USA.
Det hjelper lite for Elabs om de har virksomhet i flere land saga, det er hvilket land varen produseres som bestemmer tollen, ikke hvor Elabs har ansatt folj. Alle de store produsentene av forbrukselektronikk har fått toll på godt over 20% så det kommer sikkert til å smelle hardt for de -fleste toatalt salg til USA.

Kan jo være at OEM ser mer og mer verdien av SW i forhold til HW.
Gir betydelig mer fornybar i forhold til logistikk og produksjons utfordringer, kostnader, toll og uforutsette hendelser…

Uansett en fordel å være i Software nå kontra hardware. Men kundene til Elabs har hatt god tid til å omstille seg det som nå skjer, så om deres omsetning synker som følge av dette,så kan det skyldes på dårlig planlegging ifra dem. Dette er uansett positivt for Elabs markedsandeler, de vil få mer vokse-press bak seg nå, dvs det vil bli lettere for Elabs å inngå nye kontrakter. Tiden vil uansett bedømme dette, vi får se om noen måneder og sammenligne inngåtte kontrakter da kontra for noe tid tilbake.

Hvem er Sigbjørn Hovda? Så langt jeg kan se jobber han som oversetter.
Laila seemed to like my comment. Just the way she did last fall when I was predicting we would see Elabs/seamless on Intel Unison…which turned out to be correct.
Of course she cannot guarantee this years result, but she likely “mentally approves” and signals by doing this.
Very good to have a CEO that can give those small silent signals

Okei?
Veldig bra. Men det blir uansett en tung dag i dag. En fin kjøpsdag.

Er det ikke nærliggende å anta at ELABS sine smartphone OEM’s vil kunne være relative vinnere på volum i markedet vs. Apple? Gitt det vi “vet” i dag om handelskrigen. Apple shippet ca. ~225 mill enheter i 2024, det gir en global markedsandel på ~18%. Trenden de seneste årene har vært at kinesiske OEM’s har tatt markedsandeler fra Apple og Samsung, denne trenden kan muligens forsterkes fremover.

Er det ikke også nærliggende å anta at ELABS vil kunne ha en fordel som leverandør av SW sammenlignet med rene HW-aktører, nettopp fordi programvare ikke rammes av tollbarrierer på samme måte som fysisk hardware? Spesielt gitt at handelskrigen i økende grad preger HW-leverandørene gjennom toll og avgifter, kan ELABS dermed stille sterkere enn konkurrenter som er mer eksponert mot fysiske varer. Dette kan jo nettopp forsterke dynamikken du beskriver, der kinesiske OEM’s med ELABS-programvare tar ytterligere markedsandeler fra Apple og Samsung.
Spennende tider i alt kaoset!

Det skulle man definitivt tro. Meg bekjent så er det ingen mekanismer i dag for å sette toll eller andre avgifter på software. Der kan det selvsagt komme endringer spesielt fra EU, mht. hvordan de vil avigiftslegge amerikanske softwareselskaper. Hvis man f.eks. ser på NOD så blir de svært sårbare til sammenligning. TSMC produserer vel chippene, og “foredlingen” skjer i Kina.
