We Can Play Madden NFL on iPhone by EA Mobile

maddeniphone

Though I am not a big fan of football video games, the Madden franchise is one of the best selling game franchises anywhere.EA Mobile  has stated that the game is now officially accessible on iPhone,which I believe to make people really mad.

Fortunately I have seen screen shots of this madden game, and the controls seem to be quite complecated. Players can pick from instant action or play a full season with players form all of the licensed NFL teams

There are 2000 players and gamers in all games.You can take their team from opening day to the Super Bowl. The controls use the multitouch features of the iPhone with a virtual joy stick and touch to pass.

Worldwide lead mobile phone manufacturer becomes laptop manufacturer? – Nokia enters into laptop market

Nokia_will_enter_into_laptop_market

“We are fully aware what has the margin level been in the PC world. We have gone into this with our eyes wide open,”said Kai Oistamo, the head of Nokia’s key phone unit.

 

The world’s lead mobile phone manufacturer Nokia announced that it would begin to manufacture laptops,entering a more and more fiercely competitive, but fast-growing market.

 

For its first netbook, the Nokia Booklet 3G, will use Microsoft’s Windows software and Intel’s Atom processor, offering over 12 hours of battery life, and weighing 1.25 kilograms. Netbooks are low-cost laptops optimized for surfing the Internet and performing other basic applications. Pioneered by Asustek in 2007, other brands such as HP and Dell have also pushed out their own lines since then.

 

Nokia said it would reveal detailes, market availability and pricing of the device later.

 

Research firm IDC expects netbook shipments this year to raise more than 127 percent from 2008 to over 26 million units, outperforming the overall PC market which is expected to remain flat and a phone market which is shrinking some 10 percent.

 

Nokia has seen its profit margins drop over the last quarters as handset demand has slumped, and analysts have worried that entering the PC industry, where margins are traditionally razor-thin, could be a bad influence on Nokia’s profits in the future.

 

“Nokia will be hoping that its brand and knowledge of cellular channels will play to its strengths as it addresses this crowded, cut-throat segment,” said Ben Wood, director of research at CCS Insight. “At present we see Nokia’s foray into the netbook market as a niche exercise in the context of its broader business.”

 

A news related to Nokia that the new netbooks would use the upcoming Windows 7 operating system. Microsoft says a stripped-down version of Windows 7 will be introduced to netbooks the same time as its general release on Oct 22.

LG Plans to Build New LCD Factory For LCD Market’s recovering

lg_lcd_factory

Last week, DisplaySearch,a worldwide leader in LCD  market percent to 30 million in the second quarter this year,and the number of LCD TVs sold in China will probably jump 76 percent to 23.6 million this year.

 

It seems to be a signal that the current LCD display market is recovering from financial crisis. The world’s largest LCD manufacturer, Samsung Electronics, and Japan’s largest LCD TV manufacturer, Sharp Corp, also have showed interest in building manufactories in China.

 

A couple days ago, LG Display, the South Korean electronics giant and the world’s second-largest LCD factory,stated that their plan of building an new advanced completed liquid-crystal display(LCD) factory in Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province,China,to meet the China’s fast-growing flat-screen television demand.Actually, LG Display did not reveal details about the new manufacture.

 

However,this business is still awaiting approval by the South Korean government and the board of Seoul-based LG Display.But LG also stated that they have got the approval from Guangzhou City Government last Friday for building the largest one in China,which is estimated to cost about $4 billion by Maeil Business Newspaper.

 

In my view,the reason for LG or other LCD manufacturer’s expansion can be concluded in two.One is the recovering of the financial crisis that encourage domestic electronics goods manufacturer to rethink their traditional way of importing expensive LCD displays from abroad providers.The other is the positive effects on the LCD market from the government’s recent effort to provide subsidies to television buyers in rural areas.

Exclusive Deals between AT&T and iPhone were OPPOSED in FCC’s meeting

iphone_3g_2009

Several days ago, The FCC held its first meeting with all hands on deck since new presdent Obama assumed the reins of government and during the key issues on the agenda there is discussion about an inquiry on the wireless industry. The FCC is launching an inquiry into the practice of exclusive deals between handset makers and carriers.

 

One of the highest profile exclusives in the industry is AT&T and the iPhone. The deals are being opposed vehemently by rural carriers who say they can’t compete with the big carriers. The  FCC commissioners also had a vote to issue a separate inquiry to find out how the FCC be able to  inspire competition.

 

In my own view,maybe FCC stop exclusive deals decidedly if be really in the hope of inspiring competition.Many people say that the quality of AT&T network in their areas falis to reach their satisfaction at all.They still take the unsatisfied service only because of keeping their iPhone using.Some people talk turkey that they would abandon the AT&T if they could get the iPhone on Verizon.I suggest that FCC should have some changes proceeding from actual conditions.

In fact, smart phone sales are growing at an impressive rate,making up 28% of all mobile phone sales. Overall handset sales volume in the U.S. grew 14% year over year for Q2 and sales revenue was up 18%. The average selling price for mobile phones was $87.

 

Neverthless, feather phones still holds the majority of the mobile phone market share,for they tend to be less complex and cheaper to buy,with easy operation.Feature phone constitutes 72% of all new handset sales. As impressive as that number is, it represents a decline of 5% compared to previous quarters. The most popular feature phone were the LG enV2 and the Samsung Rant.

 

Undoubtfully,more and more mobile phone enthusiasts tend to focus more on smart phone than feature phone.After all, intelligent,advanced, multifunctional and complex phones are unstoppable waves.

microsoft_office_bring_to_Nokia_mobile

The two companies will begin collaborating immediately on the design, development and marketing of productivity solutions for the mobile professional, bringing Microsoft Office Mobile and Microsoft business communications, collaboration and device management software to Nokia’s Symbian devices,under the terms of agreement.

Next year, Nokia intends to start shipping Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile on its a broad range of smartphones, followed by other Office applications and related software and services in the future.

Actuall,in my own view,the agreement buliding on exsiting work means that the two companies are managing to be able to serve the needs of the growing mobile worker population,also reinforce future business mobility strategy.Besides,the rumor spread widely in recent days that Nokia will replace Symbian Device System in upmarket smartphones with Maemo,or other System,even Win,I daringly guess.All in all,aiming at consumers’ different demand with various mobile phones and operating device system is a perfect stratege in future.

iPhone gobbles up 32% of smartphone profit

Apple certainly hit a home run with the iPhone. Even those of us who don’t worship at the altar of Jobs have found the iPhone to be a fantastic device worthy of most of the praise it’s given. The sales of the smartphone show that it has hit a chord with consumers.

An analyst from Bernstein research named Toni Sacconaghi has said that Apple has managed to gobble 32% of all the profits to be had in the smartphone market. The astounding part of that is that Apple only holds 8% of the smartphone market.

That should give an idea of how lucrative the subsidies are that Apple is receiving from its exclusive partners. Maybe Apple needs those partners as much as they need its exclusive deal. Apple reported that it sold 5.2 million iPhones in its last quarterly earnings.

fake Chinese Phones 

With the flood of Chinese knock off phones making their way around the world its no surprise some countries are trying to combat the problem. While getting rid of the problem entirely is probably not feasible there are measures countries are taking. The Taiwanese National Communications Commission for instance has recently announced that any resident of Taiwan caught importing more than five fake phones will be fined over $9,000USD. There are also fines for persons caught with 2 or more Chinese knock off cell phones. This is a policy all countries should be adopting.
