the 27 cents expected by analysts. Revenue fell 9 percent to $816.1 million
from $897.5 million. Analysts were expecting revenue of $852 million.

revenues while expenses on research and sales development rose.

results, explained that a slowing economy had hurt demand for its storage and
mobile products.

drives and wireless connectivity products grew by double-digit percentages from
the previous quarter, he said.
