The personage says, apple buy is Lala engineers, including its energetic co-founder Bill Nguyen (Bill), and their Nguyen based on cloud calculative music service experience.” In 2006, JPG nguyen_bill accept Forbes magazine interview, ruan had heroism of dry cloud says: “I want to make music industry. I will try to music of” commodities “, provide more music industry. Everything, we are opposite.” Most wowed Lala water in 2006, when the direction is an exchange of CD. The clouds, hoping to enter the field will be calculated directly recorded with the album user to air. But this apparently not record company. In 2008, it turned to another mode: the price of $0.89 0.79 to music sales for ten cents, or gain infinite times the price of a song of power flow. Its products are considered doing well: for instance, scan disk, the user to set up an Internet music list automatically, directly above the clouds of music matching accordingly. But with the record company Lala talk of streaming media footage featuring Los Angeles lakers all-star is non-negotiable – when the acquisition occurs, these rights be terminated. TechCrunch was very worried about the rights and interests of the users have to pay. But back 10,000 steps, bankruptcy, have rights. From the capital, Ben Lala (investment (us), warner music won three 3510 million dollars for a financing, founded in 2007, the company is not bad. But in the early 2009, warner music will its $20 million investment from the $11 million account written off, and illustrates the investors to this project gradually lose confidence. It in 2009, most notably thing is music search with Google American cooperation projects, provide free classes, and in the form of gifts on Facebook users with each other by giving music. But this transaction will prove the convergence of at least two projects can support a venture company profit and market. About this time, the most direct trade people explain is, of course: apple is coming into the music video streaming media even. In addition, the apple for small companies, there has been little products like gold acquisition ability: 2000, an apple a Casady bought the company and its product Greene & SoundJam MP, this involves only three employees in less than a decade after the acquisition of earning $4 billion to become iTunes, In 2001, they recruit a music player carries the creative before Philip called Fadell Tony, the staff of the young people to make initial iPod, In July, 2006, the designers of Steel Skies, a representation of the CoverFlow iTunes music album covers the small products, 2 months will be integrated into the apple iTunes, acquisition and application of this technology, even all the documents to the OS in management.

China unicom mobile officially listed, give the price has been concerned for many users, the authority of black-market prices of relatively low iPhone was hesitating. As 16GB quotes online GangBan 5450 yuan, more than $6350 GangBan 32GB HangHuo names respectively, lower $430 iPhone, 640 yuan.

For this price difference, China unicom has been made. But exactly what causes the difference? China unicom, officials said the price of gray iPhone root causes, one is to escape the shall pay the value added tax of 17%, 2 is not absolutely horrendous vendors after-sales service costs, unlike any HangHuo manufacturer that according to the country “3 packets of regulations” must be spending 7 days return, exchange and 14 days a year where costs.

Additional, if the bust is someone used recycled second-hand refurbished machine, or a machine that fake fortress will lower the price of gray.

Why unicom version must give the price includes the value added tax of 17%, reasonable obviously by the iPhone: apple is provided, the full import, introduced to China to need to pay the value added tax of 17%, Reports say unicom edition production in China, but give the actual situation in China, even in the bonded area, also produce production, such products export tax, if not in the domestic sale shall pay taxes if.

The price higher than Hong Kong version and the United States

Currently, except the United States and Hong Kong main countries and regions in the world and China unicom mobile price give similar version, including Japan, Singapore, Australia, etc. As a global Internet phone, the best performance, mobile phones are basically the iPhone price.

But Hong Kong is special, because Hong Kong is the free trade area, is basically duty-free imports from Hong Kong, so many gray mobile black market fall into the mainland market.

China unicom a personage points out, if will remove LuoJi iPhone unicom price, basically equivalent VAT part of the Hong Kong market LuoJi iPhone price.

American AT&T’s global prices also give reference value, because the iPhone AT&T is native American enterprise apple, does not need pay import value-added tax. This question is very simple, if go to America, its stores bonded shop in the iPhone 16GB put LuoJi cost $940 6580 yuan RMB, total $.

Don’t say unicom LuoJi iPhone through money

If you carefully, compared with gray, if China unicom mobile phones in the removal of any version of the iPhone import tax 17% after its 16GB, the price level 3GS iPhone 32GB 5025 yuan, shall be 5982 yuan. Mobile Internet offer relative front gray to 400-700 yuan.

Visible, gray except authority from vendors to earn a tax evasion HeiXinQian.

China unicom and said, give users if selected, and sign the net in two years, will enjoy subsidies, the agreement of the actual purchase price will give greatly reduced, and can even receive free mobile phones.

The fact is, China unicom users more hope to choose package, and don’t give money through LuoJi. In this case and shall give to China unicom high demand.

Different products every electricity expenses contrast situation:

In addition to these products, the energy efficiency compared according to the website of these products are calculated annually in the consumption of electricity users on spending (according to the energy star standard of typical power mode). This year’s best notebook of electricity expenses only three pounds, but the best desktop will cause 6.89 pounds per year electricity.
