Software and Hardware?
It sounds to me like they are merging their mobile business'. They already make great handsets for the Japanese market.

Weird name though; sounds like a second-rate comic book super-villain.

 It sounds like a antiperspirant deodorant.
Aren't Panasonic and NEC part of Matsushita Corp?

LMAO, even more appropriate...you can even imagine an 'Esteemo' ad, complete with sultry, whispering female voice saying, "Esteemoooooh... for men."
Panasonic is part of the Matsushita group, but (correct me if I'm wrong) I think NEC isn't under the same corporate umbrella.

Thats rignt Panasonic and Toshiba are one and the same.
Still, its unusual for those to to merge I think. I thought they both had decent market share in the far-east.

And Technics? I presume you meant Matsushita, not Matsushima.
