Organization and Basis of Presentation	Oct. 02, 2010
Organization and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the distribution of information technology (“IT”) products and supply chain solutions worldwide. Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries operate in North America; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); Asia Pacific and Latin America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “Ingram Micro,” “we,” “us” and “our” in these notes to the consolidated financial statements refers to Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state our consolidated financial position as of October 2, 2010, our consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, and consolidated cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, these consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures and footnotes normally included with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended January 2, 2010. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 may not be indicative of the consolidated results of operations that can be expected for the full year. Book Overdrafts Book overdrafts of $444,771 and $411,944 as of October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively, represent checks issued that had not been presented for payment to the banks and are classified as accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheet. We typically fund these overdrafts through normal collections of funds or transfers from other bank balances. Under the terms of our facilities with the banks, the respective financial institutions are not legally obligated to honor the book overdraft balances as of October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, or any balance on any given date. Trade Accounts Receivable Factoring Programs In July 2010, we entered into an uncommitted factoring program in North America under which trade accounts receivable of one large customer may be sold, without recourse, to a financial institution. The total amount of receivables that may be factored under the program cannot exceed $150,000. In the same month, we also entered into an uncommitted factoring program in EMEA under which trade accounts receivable of another large customer may be sold, without recourse, to a financial institution. The total amount of receivables that may be factored under the program cannot exceed €40,000, or approximately $55,000 at October 2, 2010. Available capacity under these programs is dependent on the amount of trade accounts receivable already sold to and held by the financial institutions, the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. At October 2, 2010, we had a total of $121,807 of trade accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institutions under these programs. Factoring fees in the amount of $596 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under both facilities are included in “other” in the other expense (income) section of our consolidated statement of income.

Share Repurchases

Note 2 – Share Repurchases

In October 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a new three-year, $400,000 share repurchase program, following the completion in the second quarter of 2010 of our $300,000 share repurchase program authorized in November 2007 and our $100,000 share repurchase program authorized in May 2010. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, we purchased 3,038,000 shares of common stock for $52,285 from our $300,000 share repurchase program and 5,922,000 shares of common stock for $100,000 from our $100,000 share repurchase program. These repurchases were funded with available cash and borrowing capacity.

We account for repurchased shares of common stock as treasury stock. Treasury shares are recorded at cost and are included as a component of stockholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheet. We have also issued shares of common stock out of our cumulative balance of treasury shares. Such shares are issued to certain of our associates for the vesting of their equity awards under the Ingram Micro Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (see Note 4). Our stock repurchase and issuance activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 are summarized in the table below.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Note 3 – Earnings Per Share

We report a dual presentation of Basic Earnings per Share (“Basic EPS”) and Diluted Earnings per Share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock awards and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised, using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, where applicable.

The computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS is as follows:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	October 2,		October 3,		October 2,		October 3,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Net income	$	64,989	$	42,306	$	203,044	$	95,115


Weighted average shares (in 000s)		156,774		163,522		161,431		162,559


Basic EPS	$	0.41	$	0.26	$	1.26	$	0.59


Weighted average shares (in 000s), including the dilutive effect of stock-based awards (2,782 and 3,217 for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, and 3,192 and 2,161 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively)		159,556		166,739		164,623		164,720


Diluted EPS	$	0.41	$	0.25	$	1.23	$	0.58

There were approximately 7,525,000 and 6,502,000 stock-based awards for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, and 5,654,000 and 9,697,000 stock-based awards for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Class A Common Stock during the respective periods, thereby resulting in an antidilutive effect.

Stock-Based Compensation	Oct. 02, 2010
Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Note 4 – Stock-Based Compensation We have granted both time- and performance-vested restricted stock and/or restricted stock units, in addition to stock options, to key employees and members of our Board of Directors. In 2010, a portion of the performance-vested restricted stock units granted to management are based on the performance measurement of profit before tax, with the remainder based on earnings per share growth and return on invested capital versus preset targets. No stock options were granted during the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 or October 3, 2009, while restricted stock and restricted stock units granted were 16,000 and 24,000, respectively. Stock options granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 were 48,000 and 141,000, respectively, and restricted stock and restricted stock units granted were 1,817,000 and 3,425,000, respectively. As of October 2, 2010, approximately 4,990,000 shares were available for grant under the 2003 Plan, taking into account granted options, time vested restricted stock units/awards and performance vested restricted stock units assuming maximum achievement. Stock-based compensation expense for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 was $7,149 and $6,927, respectively, and the related income tax benefit was approximately $1,700 in both periods. Stock-based compensation expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 was $18,214 and $14,785, respectively, and the related income tax benefit was approximately $5,200 and $3,800, respectively. During the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, a total of 83,000 and 564,000 stock options, respectively, were exercised, and 12,000 and 23,000 restricted stock and restricted stock units vested, respectively. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, a total of 884,000 and 2,233,000 stock options, respectively, were exercised, and 744,000 and 514,000 restricted stock and restricted stock units vested, respectively. In addition, during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, the Board of Directors determined that the performance measures for certain performance-based grants were not met, resulting in the cancellation of approximately 492,000 and 394,000 shares, respectively.

(1)		Notional amounts represent the gross amount of foreign currency bought or sold at maturity for foreign exchange contracts and the underlying principal amount in interest rate swap contracts.

The amounts recognized in earnings on our derivative instruments, including ineffectiveness, were net losses of $51,803 and $26,481 for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, and a net gain (loss) of $1,619 and $(66,103), respectively, for the thirty-nine weeks October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, which were largely offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets or liabilities in the respective periods. The gains or losses on derivative instruments are classified in our consolidated statement of income on a consistent basis with the classification of the change in fair value of the underlying hedged assets or liabilities. Unrealized (gains) losses of $1,660 and $182, net of taxes, during the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, and $(2,334) and $3,830, net of taxes, during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheet for losses associated with our cash flow hedging transactions.

Cash Flow and Other Hedges

We have designated hedges consisting of an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on a portion of our senior unsecured term loan and foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain anticipated foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans and management fees. In addition, we also use foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges primarily to manage currency risk associated with foreign currency-denominated trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany loans.

Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended
Fair Value Measurements	Oct. 02, 2010
Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements Our assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1 — quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 — observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. At October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis included: cash equivalents, consisting primarily of money market accounts of $834,304 and $168,157, respectively, and marketable trading securities (included in other currents assets in our consolidated balance sheet) of $42,093 and $40,230, respectively, both determined based on Level 1 criteria, as defined above; and derivative assets of $4,967 and $1,678, respectively, and derivative liabilities of $30,658 and $28,712, respectively, determined based on Level 2 criteria. The change in the fair value of derivative instruments was a net unrealized gain (loss) of $(15,853) and $1,343 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, respectively, and a net unrealized loss of $18,076 and $21,585 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2009, respectively. The fair value of the cash equivalents approximated cost and the gain or loss on the marketable trading securities was recognized in the consolidated statement of income to reflect these investments at fair value. Our senior unsecured notes issued in August 2010 (see note 10) had a fair value of approximately $319,000 at October 2, 2010, determined based on Level 1 criteria.

Acquisitions and Intangible Assets [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Intangible Assets	Note 8 – Acquisitions and Intangible Assets During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of interAct BVBA and Albora Soluciones SL in our EMEA region and the assets and liabilities of Asiasoft Hong Kong Limited in our Asia Pacific region. These acquisitions further strengthen our capabilities in virtualization, security and middleware solutions and enterprise computing. These entities were acquired for an aggregate cash price of $8,329, which has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction dates, including identifiable intangible assets of $6,044, primarily related to vendor and customer relationships with estimated useful lives of 10 years and deferred tax liabilities of $1,840 related to the intangible assets, none of which are deductible for income tax purposes. In the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2009, we acquired the assets and liabilities of Value Added Distributors Limited and Vantex Technology Distribution Limited in our Asia Pacific region, which strengthened our capabilities in the high-end enterprise and automatic identification and data capture/point of sale (“AIDC/POS”) solutions markets, respectively. These entities were acquired for an aggregate cash price of $15,724 plus an estimated earn-out amount of $935, which have been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction dates, including identifiable intangible assets of $6,364, primarily related to vendor and customer relationships, and tradenames with estimated useful lives of 10 years and a resulting amount of goodwill of $2,490. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment of all of our goodwill as a result of the drastic decline in capital markets and the economy as a whole and the resulting impact on our valuation of our regional reporting units. Due to the continued weak demand for technology products and services in Asia Pacific and globally in 2009, our Asia Pacific reporting unit fair value remained below the carrying value of our assets. As such, we recorded a full impairment charge for the recorded goodwill from these two acquisitions in the second quarter of 2009. Also in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2009, we paid the sellers of AVAD $2,500 to settle the previously accrued earn-out of $1,000 at January 3, 2009 and the balance to obtain certain trademark rights, which have been included in our identifiable intangible assets with estimated useful lives of 10 years. All acquisitions for the periods presented above were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to us as a whole and therefore, pro-forma financial information has not been presented. The gross carrying amounts of finite-lived identifiable intangible assets of $178,528 and $172,363 at October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively, are amortized over their estimated lives ranging from 3 to 20 years. The net carrying amount was $85,006 and $92,054 at October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively. Amortization expense was $4,431 and $4,818 for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively, and $13,082 and $12,787 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively.

Reorganization and Expense-Reduction Program Costs

Note 9 – Reorganization and Expense-Reduction Program Costs

In the second half of 2008 and through 2009, we implemented actions in all of our regions to align our level of operating expenses with the declines in sales volume resulting from the economic downturn. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2009, we incurred net charges of $7,004 and $27,124 respectively, recorded in reorganization costs, and other costs associated with these actions totaling $1,395 and $2,852, respectively, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”). Aggregate net charges by region in the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 3, 2009 were $7,120 and $18,591, respectively, in North America, $622 and $8,226, respectively, in EMEA, $657 and $2,923, respectively, in Asia Pacific, and $0 and $236, respectively, in Latin America.

The remaining liabilities and payment activities associated with our 2009 actions are summarized in the table below for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010:


	Outstanding		Amounts Paid						Remaining
	Liability at		and Charged						Liability at

	$	12,618	$	(4,956	)	$	(584	)	$	7,078

Adjustments reflected in the table above include a reduction to reorganization liabilities of $347, consisting of $146 in North America for lower than expected costs associated with employee termination benefits and facility consolidations, $167 in EMEA for lower than expected costs associated with employee termination benefits and facility consolidations and $34 in Asia Pacific for lower than expected costs associated with employee termination benefits. Adjustments also include the net foreign currency impact of weakening foreign currencies, which decreased the U.S. dollar liability by $237. We expect the remaining liabilities for the employee termination benefits to be substantially utilized by the end of 2010, while the remaining liabilities associated with facility and other costs are expected to be substantially utilized by the end of 2014.

The remaining liabilities and payment activities associated with the actions taken during 2008 to rationalize certain roles and processes in North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific are summarized in the table below for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010:


	Outstanding		Amounts Paid						Remaining

Other costs		25		(25	)		—			—

	$	1,354	$	(833	)	$	(96	)	$	425

Adjustments reflected in the table above include a reduction to reorganization liabilities of $11 in EMEA related to lower than expected costs associated with employee termination benefits, and a net foreign currency impact that decreased the U.S. dollar liability by $85. We expect the remaining liabilities for the employee termination benefits to be substantially utilized by the end of 2010, while the remaining liabilities associated with facility costs are expected to be substantially utilized by the end of 2011.

Prior to 2006, we launched other outsourcing and optimization plans to improve operating efficiencies and to integrate past acquisitions. The remaining liabilities and payment activities associated with these actions are summarized in the table below for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010:

	$	535,866		$	302,424

In August 2010, we issued through a public offering $300,000 of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2017, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $297,152, net of discount and issuance costs of approximately $2,848. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2011. We may redeem the notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest on the principal amount being redeemed, or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes to be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, as well as accrued interest on the principal amount being redeemed.

In April 2010, we terminated our revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing program in North America, which provided for up to $600,000 in borrowing capacity secured by substantially all U.S.-based receivables, in conjunction with the execution in the same month of a new revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing program secured by a majority of our U.S.-based receivables. This new program initially provides for up to $500,000 in borrowing capacity, and may, subject to the financial institutions’ approval and availability of eligible receivables, be increased to $700,000 in accordance with the terms of the program. The interest rate of this new program is dependent on designated commercial paper rates (or, in certain circumstances, an alternate rate) plus a predetermined margin. The new program matures in April 2013. We had no borrowings at October 2, 2010 under this new North America financing program and we had no borrowings under the terminated facility at January 2, 2010.

In January 2010, we entered into a revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing program in EMEA that matures in January 2014 and provides for a borrowing capacity of up to €100,000, or approximately $137,000 at October 2, 2010. This program replaced our €107,000 revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing program, which we terminated in December 2009. The current program requires certain commitment fees, and borrowings under this program incur financing costs based on EURIBOR plus a predetermined margin. We had no borrowings at October 2, 2010 under this EMEA financing program.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 11 – Income Taxes At October 2, 2010, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $20,572 compared to $21,254 at January 2, 2010, representing a net decrease of $682 during the first nine months of 2010. Substantially all of the gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate in the period of recognition. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. In addition to the gross unrecognized tax benefits identified above, the interest and penalties recorded to date by us totaled $2,044 and $1,621 at October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively. We conduct business globally and, as a result, we and/or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions and in over thirty foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities in many of the jurisdictions in which we operate. In the U.S., we concluded our IRS federal income tax audit for tax years 2004 and 2005 during the third quarter of 2009, effectively closing all years to IRS audit up through 2005. The IRS initiated an examination of tax years 2007 to 2009 during the second quarter of 2010. In addition, a number of state, local and foreign exams are ongoing. While we do not anticipate our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly within the next twelve months, it is possible within that period that one or more of our ongoing tax examinations may be resolved, that new tax examinations may commence, and that other issues may be effectively settled.

Segment Information

Note 12 – Segment Information

We operate predominantly in a single industry segment as a distributor of IT products and supply chain solutions. Our operating segments are based on geographic location, and the measure of segment profit is income from operations. We do not allocate stock-based compensation recognized (see Note 4) to our operating units; therefore, we are reporting this as a separate amount.

Geographic areas in which we operate currently include North America (United States and Canada), EMEA (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), Asia Pacific (Australia, the People’s Republic of China including Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Thailand), and Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and our Latin American export operations in Miami).

Commitments and Contingencies	9 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Oct. 02, 2010
Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies Our Brazilian subsidiary has been assessed for commercial taxes on its purchases of imported software for the period January to September 2002. The principal amount of the tax assessed for this period was 12,700 Brazilian reais. Although we believe we have valid defenses to the payment of the assessed taxes, as well as any amounts due for the unassessed period from October 2002 to December 2005, after consultation with counsel and consideration of legislation enacted in February 2007, it is our opinion that it is probable that we may be required to pay all or some of these taxes. Accordingly, we recorded a net charge to cost of sales of $30,134 in 2007 to establish a liability for these taxes assessable through December 2005. The legislation enacted in February 2007 provides that such taxes are not assessable on software imports after January 1, 2006. In the fourth quarters of 2009 and 2008, we released a portion of this commercial tax reserve amounting to $9,758 and $8,224, respectively, (17,100 and 19,600 Brazilian reais at a December 2009 exchange rate of 1.741 and December 2008 exchange rate of 2.330 Brazilian reais to the U.S. dollar, respectively). These partial reserve releases were related to the unassessed periods from January through December 2004 and January through December 2003, respectively, for which it is our opinion, after consultation with counsel, that the statute of limitations for an assessment from Brazilian tax authorities has expired. The remaining amount of liability at October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010 was 28,200 Brazilian reais (approximately $16,800 and $16,200 at October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively, based on the exchange rate prevailing on those dates of 1.681 and 1.741 Brazilian reais, respectively, to the U.S. dollar). While the tax authorities may seek to impose interest and penalties in addition to the tax as discussed above, which potentially aggregate to approximately $27,400 as of October 2, 2010 based on the exchange rate prevailing on that date of 1.681 Brazilian reais to the U.S. dollar, we continue to believe that we have valid defenses to the assessment of interest and penalties and that payment is not probable. Therefore, we have not established an additional reserve for such amounts. We will continue to vigorously pursue administrative and judicial action to challenge the current, and any subsequent assessments. However, we can make no assurances that we will ultimately be successful in defending any such assessments, if made. In 2007, the Sao Paulo Municipal Tax Authorities assessed our Brazilian subsidiary a commercial service tax based upon our sale of software. The assessment for taxes and penalties covers the years 2002 through 2006 and totaled 55,100 Brazilian reais or approximately $32,800 based upon an October 2, 2010 exchange rate of 1.681 Brazilian reais to the U.S. dollar. Although not included in the original assessment, additional potential liability arising from this assessment for interest and adjustment for inflation totaled 78,700 Brazilian reais or approximately $46,800 at October 2, 2010. The authorities could make further tax assessments for the period after 2006, which may be material. It is our opinion, after consulting with counsel, that our subsidiary has valid defenses against the assessment of these taxes, penalties, interest, or any additional assessments related to this matter, and we therefore have not recorded a charge for the assessment as an unfavorable outcome is not probable. After seeking relief in administrative proceedings, we are now vigorously pursuing judicial action to challenge the current assessment and any subsequent assessments, which may require us to post collateral or provide a guarantee equal to or greater than the total amount of the assessment, penalties and interest, adjusted for inflation factors. In addition, we can make no assurances that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of this matter. There are other various claims, lawsuits and pending actions against us incidental to our operations. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, we can make no assurances that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these matters. As is customary in the IT distribution industry, we have arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory-financing facilities for our customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, we have agreements with the finance companies that would require us to repurchase certain inventory, which might be repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. For various reasons, including the lack of information regarding the amount of saleable inventory purchased from us still on hand with the customer at any point in time, repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by us under these arrangements have been insignificant to date.

New Accounting Standards	9 Months Ended
New Accounting Standards	Oct. 02, 2010
New Accounting Standards [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	Note 14 – New Accounting Standards In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard related to revenue recognition in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and certain arrangements that include software elements. This standard eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation by requiring entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on selling price hierarchy. The FASB also issued a new accounting standard in October 2009, which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. Under this standard, tangible products containing software and hardware that function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards will be effective for us beginning January 2, 2011 (the first day of fiscal 2011). Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In January 2010, the FASB issued a guidance which amends and clarifies existing guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance requires new disclosures for (1) transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 categories and the reasons for such transfers; and (2) the separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlement in the Level 3 reconciliation. It also clarifies guidance around disaggregation and disclosures of inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. We adopted this guidance effective the first quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the new disclosures in the Level 3 reconciliation. The Level 3 disclosure requirement is effective for us beginning January 2, 2011 (the first day of fiscal 2011), which is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations or related disclosures.
