ASUS P535 Triband PDA GPS Phone


ASUSTeK Computer Inc. today announced the P535 tri-band PDA phone, which incorporates full wireless functionality, GPS and high quality auto-focus camera in a compact formfactor, offering a comprehensive spread of business and lifestyle applications in an exceedingly handy platform.
Staying Connected
The P535 helps the business executive stay connected while on the move, offering push email, Internet access, off-site synchronization of calendar and contact information over wireless (802.11b+g) or mobile phone GPRS networks. Coupled with the ability to view and edit Office documents, the P535 is the indispensable power tool of the mobile, dynamic workspace.
Integrated GPS
Originally developed for military use, Global Positioning System now has a wide range of civilian applications, for both work and play. Navigating appointment venues in a foreign land, tracking distance and speeds on road trips, treks or while jogging – the P535 offers the wonders of GPS in a compact, handy formfactor.
Integrated Auto-focus Camera
The P535’s integrated auto-focus 2.0 megapixel camera is not only capable of high quality pictures, it’s also a business card scanner, picking up contact details off photographed business cards in a snap – especially convenient when attending business conventions.
Easy Encryption
ASUs has packed the P535 with proprietary user-friendly software and features. Among the most useful, is the Secret Folder, through which the user can encrypt and protect sensitive personal or business information from prying eyes.
Leading Platform
Underlying the P535’s many features, is the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, the leading mobile platform with plenty of support and software available, full suite of multimedia playback functionality, and most importantly, the reliance on flash memory: data stored in the P535 remains stored, even if the P535 has lost all power.

Pocket pc has iPhone make over!

Fined $220,000 for music file sharing!

A single mother who took a stand against America’s biggest record companies over music piracy was fined $220,000 (£108,000) yesterday.
Jammie Thomas, a Native American from Minnesota, is one of 26,000 people whom the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has sued over the past four years for alleged use of music “file-sharing” software.
The 30-year-old made legal history after refusing to pay an out-of-court settlement, as all others challenged over their behaviour before her had done, but her failure to carry the case is likely further to embolden the music industry in its attempts to protect copyright.
federal jury sitting in Duluth, Minnesota, ordered Ms Thomas, who has two children aged 11 and 13, to pay the six record companies that sued her $9,250 for each of 24 songs they focused on in the case.
The sum is equivalent to about five times her annual salary.
The fine will almost certainly go uncollected and is expected to drive Ms Thomas into bankruptcy.
The record companies alleged that she had shared 1,702 songs in all.
These songs included tracks by the Swedish “death metal” band Opeth, although tracks by Janet Jackson, Green Day, Guns ’N’ Roses, Journey, Destiny’s Child and others are believed to have been at issue in the case.
The companies accused her of offering the songs online through a Kazaa file-sharing account.
During the three-day trial, she denied having a Kazaa account but the 12-strong jury agreed unanimously that she had shared the files using the name “tereastarr".
Their witnesses, including officials from an Internet provider and a security firm, testified that the Internet address used by “tereastarr" belonged to Ms Thomas.

Last year Kazaa settled its own music piracy lawsuit with record companies for $100 million. In the UK the music industry has taken legal action against more than 100 individuals, although none of those cases has yet been contested in court.
Ms Thomas lives in the small northern town of Brainerd, Minnesota, and works for the Department of Natural Resources of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, a Native American tribe.
According to the tribe’s website, its members “struggled with poverty and despair” until the opening of two casinos in the 1990s.
The case had threatened to become another PR disaster for record companies. After they were initially accused of refusing to offer a legitimate alternative to file-sharing, the companies are now being attacked for the way they price their music.

iPhone vs. iPod Touch

A few months ago, to much fanfare and (possibly well deserved) hype, Apple released the iPhone.

People oohed and ahhed.

And a small number (1, 2, 3) OK…lots of people bought them.

Then Apple did something really interesting. Within a few months of the iPhone release, they dropped the price of the iPhone, by 33% (from $599 -> $399), and almost simultaneously released the iPod Touch.

The price drop really annoyed existing iPhone owners, and the new iPod Touch once again made people ooh and ahh.

The iPod Touch, is essentially an iPhone, without the phone, camera and a number of other features. The Touch is only 15 grams (1/2 ounce) lighter and 3 mm thinner than an iPhone. They have the same sized screen and function almost identically.

Why is this at all interesting?

First, people paid a premium price for the iPhone even though it was clearly quite expensive, AND it had a poor cell phone carrier plan. With the price drop, a customer revolt ensued, but Apple seems to have handled it well with a $100 Apple credit for any of the original iPhone purchasers.

Second, that the difference in price between an 8GB iPhone and an 8GB iPod Touch is only $100. $399 for the phone. $299 for the Touch. Makes you wonder. Is the phone portion such a commodity or are Apple’s margins really good on the Touch?

Third, and most important IMHO, Apple now has two different products that fundamentally share the same technology. And while this can be viewed as line extension (iPod, iPod nano, iPod shuffle etc.), in many ways this is really a big step forward for the iPod. It now becomes a mobile, wireless device, and not simply a portable music/video player. And the rumours are that the multi-touch pointing technology is next headed for the laptop.

So from a Product Management perspective, what can be learned?

  1. Always keep innovating.The iPhone may be as great as all the hype, maybe not, but it truly is different in many ways when compared to other high end mobile phones. But note that in all the hype about the iPhone, was there any mention that this was Apple’s second kick at the telecom can? Anyone remember the ROKR? OK, it was a Motorola phone, but Apple was certainly involved in it’s development. Can anyone say boooring?
  2. Communicate those innovations in intelligent and articulate ways to your market/customers in advance of the launch. By giving people 3 months notice of the launch of the iPhone, Apple ensured that word would spread and demand would grow. Many software companies wait until the ship date to communicate to the market and customers. This is a guaranteed way to delay revenue.
  3. Leverage your technology investments and deliver multiple solutions to different market segments.It’s always great to create a completely new product with new technology and new functionality. But, what’s even better is to get multiple returns on a single technology investment by being able to repackage, reposition, and resell different slices of the same technology to address problems for different users and use cases. If you are in the BUSINESS of technology, and not simply the technology business, this is something you really need to focus on.

Sony drops price of PS3 in UK

Sony will announce tomorrow that has bowed to consumer pressure by not only reducing the price of its 60GB console, but also creating a 40GB version priced at £299 to go up against the Xbox 360 Elite.

Confirmed by multiple sources in the games industry in the UK, Pocket-lint has learnt that Sony Europe will officially drop the price of the games console in the UK by £56 to £369 in an attempt to boost sales ahead of the Christmas rush.

"We are currently under strict NDA, however that NDA runs out in the next 48 hours", a retail source told Pocket-lint.

As part of the deal the newly introduced value pack, which included an extra controller and games, will be phased out, Pocket-lint has been informed by multiple sources within the industry.

"Although we aren't sure when in October it's happening we are aware that the price will drop to £369, with shops probably selling for £349, and a 40GB model launching as well to compete against the Xbox 360", a major games publisher told Pocket-lint.

In attempt to offer an even more compelling alternative to the newly launched Xbox Elite, Sony has also said it will be launching a 40GB "Core" version.

As previously rumoured, the new PS3 console will still feature the Blu-ray drive as standard, come with 40GB hard drive, Wi-Fi connectivity and a SIXAXIS controller, but it will lose two of its four USB slots and the memory card reader.

It will also lose the backwards compatibility chip, although this isn't likely to affect UK customers, as in Europe backwards compatibility is done via software.

The rumours of the new unit, which were broken by Pocket-lint last month, means that if you include the cost of buying the Wi-Fi adapter and HD DVD drive to the Xbox Elite, the move means the new PS3 will be £160 cheaper, although you will get a bigger hard drive with the Xbox.

The price will also make it one of the cheapest Blu-ray players available in the UK.

"Sony is clearly hoping to make a comeback against the Nintendo Wii, which is currently outselling the PS3 four to one".

PS3 Graphics Chips Going To Toshiba?

Reuters reports that Sony is in talks with the Toshiba Corporation regarding a possible sale of Sony hardware facilities in the Oita region of Japan. These facilities are responsible for the production of graphics chips that are used in the PlayStation 3.

This follows Tuesday's news of a partnership between Sony and Infineon Technologies (a German semiconductor manufacturer), to design dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. Under the partnership, Sony will team up with Qimonda (who're part of Infineon) to produce the chips for products such as cameras and mobile phones.

There were rumours last month that Sony is planning to sell semiconductor assets to Toshiba, which included some of their facilities that produce the Cell microprocessor at the heart of the PS3. According to these rumours, any possible sale came with the caveat that Sony would still have a ready supply of Cell chips for the PS3, which presumably would be the case with any sale of the graphics chips facilities as well.

This recent activity reflects restructuring that is being undertaken by the electronics giant, in order to re-focus their hardware production after their chip operations became unprofitable last year.

HTC - ASIA’S NO. 2 TOP PERFORMER


HTC Corp, the world’s leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile®-based smart devices, today highlighted its rise to the number two spot on Business Week’s 2007 Asia BW50 list.

That was a dramatic jump from year 2005!

O2 Germany unveils the O2 Xda star Windows Mobile Phone



Following yesterday's announcement of the HTC Touch Dual, today - during the German HTC press release - O2 Germany announced the Windows Mobile 6 Professional based Xda star which is O2 Germany's version of the HTC Touch Dual. Like the Touch Dual, the Xda star is the 3G slider version of O2's HTC Touch version, the Xda nova and following the Xda nova design, the Xda star features its own slightly different design which is based on the Xda nova "reference design". However, the Xda star will be available in one version only - with the 20-key QWERTZ keypad:

Other features, like the triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and singleband UMTS/HSDPA up to 3.6 Mbps, the Qualcomm MSM7200 chip at 400 MHz, the 2.6" QVGA flat touch screen and the 2 megapixel camera plus front facing camera for video calling stays unchanged. Like the HTC Touch Dual, the Xda star also supports Bluetooth 2.0+EDR but misses WiFi (as well as GPS).

The O2 Xda star will be available exclusively from O2 Germany from early November. With a 24 months contract it will retail for 29,99 Euro.

Apple and T-Mobile Announce Exclusive Partnership for iPhone in Germany

Apple® and T-Mobile today announced that T-Mobile, the leading network operator in Germany, will be the exclusive German carrier of Apple’s revolutionary iPhone™ when it makes its debut in Germany on November 9. iPhone combines three devices into one—a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod®, and the best mobile Internet device ever—all based on Apple’s revolutionary multi-touch interface and pioneering software that allows users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers. Apple sold its one millionth iPhone just 74 days after it went on sale in the U.S. on June 29.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with T-Mobile to bring the iPhone to Germany,” said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. “Customer response to iPhone in the US has been incredible, and we can't wait to introduce T-Mobile customers to the most revolutionary mobile device on the planet.”

“We are convinced that we can get our customers excited about experiencing the mobile internet with the iPhone,” said Hamid Akhavan, CEO, T-Mobile International. “I am proud that Apple and T-Mobile have become partners. The best mobile device currently on the market will soon be operating on the best network in the country.”

In addition to all the revolutionary features that made iPhone so popular in the US, iPhone users in Germany will have access to Apple's latest music offerings on iPhone including the recently launched iTunes® Wi-Fi Music Store. The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store offers customers the ability to browse, search, preview, purchase and download songs and albums from iTunes over the built-in Wi-Fi on their iPhone. No computer is required and when the customer connects their iPhone back with the PC or Mac, their music automatically syncs back into their iTunes library.

The T-Mobile network will also support iPhone’s unique Visual Voicemail feature, which enables users to immediately randomly access those messages that interest them most.

By the end of 2007, T-Mobile will be the only network operator in Germany to offer EDGE throughout its entire GSM network. EDGE accelerates the mobile data transfer rate to over 220 Kilobits per second, which makes it almost four times as fast as ISDN in fixed-line networks. With EDGE, the German market leader offers its customers 100 percent broadband – anywhere and at any time. With 20,000 HotSpots worldwide, T-Mobile is the biggest Wi-Fi provider in the world. Of those HotSpots, 8,600 are in Germany, where HotSpot users can achieve download speeds of up to 11 megabits per second.

Pricing & Availability
iPhone is scheduled to go on sale on November 9 and will be sold in Germany through Telekom Shops of Deutsche Telekom and the T-Mobile web shop. iPhone requires a new 2-year T-Mobile tariff and will be available in an 8GB model for €399 including V.A.T. and will work with either a PC or Mac.

iPhone activation will require an Internet connection; an iTunes Store account or a major credit card; the latest version of iTunes available at www.itunes.de and a PC or Mac with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems: Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later; Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later; or Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition.

T-Mobile International is one of the world’s leading companies in mobile communications. As one of Deutsche Telekom’s three strategic business units, T-Mobile concentrates on the most dynamic markets in Europe and the United States. Almost 112 million mobile customers were served by companies of the Deutsche Telekom group by June 30, 2007. The common technology platform is based on GSM, the world’s most successful digital wireless standard. This also makes T-Mobile the only mobile communications provider with a seamless transatlantic service.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market this year with its revolutionary iPhone.
