By 2010, early January 28, apple company CEO Steve jobs has just announced the launch of speculation has long flat electrical brain iPad into support WiFi and support WiFi + two versions, 16GB 3G 64GB and three 32GB, size, and support the 16GB capacity iPad WiFi version of the lowest price for selling $499 ($rmb1500yuan).

In fact, a “flat” is not original, apple and iPad also not listed in the first paragraph success, but iPad tablet PC market has sparked huge splash. Why, in iPad listing tablet PC has deserted? Apple computer iPad let plate instant become hot, can let tablet PC achieve universal?

Bill Gates, the definition of error “flat computer.”

In early November 2002, Microsoft will release the Tablet PC in the United States, the product launch X86 processor and Windows XP operating system, Tablet PC Edition. Microsoft is defined for the Tablet PC is a Tablet PC: no, no keyboard, clamshell small enough to add ladies handbags, but function complete PC. The notebook computer, it is all but has its function, also support the handwritten input or speech input, mobility and portability is one-upmanship.

Apple iPad redefined “tablet PC.”

Apple, carrying out iPad 1G Hertz, using the apple A4 processors, and the iPhone 9.7 inch screen touch more support multi – touch, thickness, only for 127 cm for 10 hours standby time, the battery can be replaced, also support wifi and wifi + two versions of 3G.

Why iPad can have wandered off “the Tablet PC” once again become focus? I think this is the Apple but brand glamour, objectively iPad has to evade the Microsoft “Tablet PC” three problems facing life: ability to, price, wireless network. 10 hours of life ability, the lowest price of RMB 3200, around the world, all these make 3G network than the Tablet PC iPad more attractive.

I think the most important is, apple iPad didn’t intend to let go, but will instead notebook computer iPad positioning in laptop computers and intelligent mobile space between the market, it also means iPad no rival. Meanwhile, jobs are iPad seeking more content, including App support on the various applications “, and the New York times newspaper publishers, such books about “digital library cooperation, let iPad become a carry-on ebook.

When people began to fade more than eight years before the Bill Gates of tablet PC grandiloquence, apple iPad and lift people’s appetite for tablet PC, but also for the tablet PC definition. Not one Tablet PC, laptop computer but on the phone and intelligent, no keyboard fingers, the product can touch, play games, watching movies, edit the document, see the ebook.

The popular not only tablet PC by apple

The development of computers and popular plate can only rely on apples, after all iPad hardware and software belongs only to apple, a iPad still belongs to the same iPhone and small commodities, and the nokia, MOTOROLA, samsung mobile phone market is the main business. But iPad birth, pointed out the development direction of the tablet PC, provide the experience for reference.

I iPad in listed at the same time, we see the freescale, qualcomm are trying to enter NVIDIA and portable mobile Internet equipment, freescale and qualcomm have introduced based on ARM architecture is not smart phones portable terminal processor, But also a Tegra NVIDIA based on the ARM of the solution of the processor.

In software, Google Android of free and open and software stores, are becoming the low consumption microprocessor terminal operation system, freescale and qualcomm will these products, but also called intelligence is foxconn lenovo, corresponding to the intelligence of this product.

The author believes that in iPad banner, under the leadership of the low power structure in the ARM processor and the Android etc of the operating system under the collocation of openness, HP, dell, acer, lenovo, HuaShuo etc OEM cooperation, the popularization of tablet PC, we will soon see mature!

“The new products (orders) subject” is a foreign-owned brokerage and sell the fourth season last year in succession since upward foxconn financial projections, related products from SONY televisions, HP desktop computers, to apple computer has flat, but the recent spread of the circle in the capital, it is the apple fourth-generation iPhone.

XieZongWen pointed out from the first generation to third generation function only in the iPhone, fourth-generation iPhone in appearance and system upgrades are done quite a lot of adjustment, therefore, by will be “upgrade requirements”, estimate the fourth-generation iPhone 1 year will be shipped at 30 million.

“The theme is almost iPhone foxconn, JinWenHeng, share prices in the iPhone apples on June 29, 2007 launched the first eight months, but jumped 52 foxconn, sole supplier as iPhone before April 2007 to apple shares is backward of 22%, but at the end of April BuZhang begin namely, launched in the iPhone before two months are superior performance of stock apples. JinWenHeng that apple 2009 July 1st rose 48% stock performance than foxconn, at present, the optimal 4% to the market to flat computer, for example, will this year foxconn merger revenues in 2007, with about 2%, if give out in 2007 with apple foxconn’s stock market can be copied, foxconn in apple computer flat out a few months before stock performance will be period.

Below is the top foreign media by 2010, most likely to launch five apples.

1 tablet PC, apple

Industry bounded agree that apple will be launched in 2010, while tablet PC in February is most likely the product launch. The financial times reported: “apples are developing new touch-screen tablet PC, this product is 10 inches, can screen like iPod Touch as Internet connection. The product is probably not possess mobile phone functions, but it can connect the apple online store.”

Users that apple computers can launch flat as a massively iPod Touch, can become the recreation center and email client, and can be used for web browsing.

2, the fourth iPhone

Here is the fourth generation iPhone 4G, rather than on the iPhone network operation. Exciting is, there are reports that apple is testing generation iPhone mobile phones.

Today, the iPhone in November iBart application developer notice, apple is testing a new code for the iPhone 3.1. The current and any one of the iPhone code are not all the same, the latest edition of the iPhone 3GS codenamed iPhone 3G version 2.1, the code is the iPhone iPhone, most of LaoBan iPhone 1.2 codenamed iPhone 1.1.

Apple has announced the iPhone fourth-generation by time and function, but the insiders expect the release date in February, lest the release tablet PC with apple time. In the past six months and apple choice in July release iPhone.

3 and improvement of Mac Pro computer

User knows, Intel i5 i7 and four processors will be used for apple computer, but also iMac series, Intel’s new should know Gulftown six processors will be used to improve apple computer Mac Pro version.

Intel’s Gulftown processor Core code i9. From many rumours of Gulftown processor, says the improvement on the Mac Pro computers in the first quarter of 2010. Allegedly, the improvement of the operating speed Mac Pro computer based on four processors than the computer performance is increased by 50%.

4, with video iPod Touch the filming function

2009, with the camera not apple iPod Touch, it makes many apples fans felt disappointed.

However, the 2010 apple is likely to launch this product. Before internal sources said apple will be launched in the first quarter of 2010 with camera functions iPod Touch.

5 and iTunes music streaming media service

At the end of 2009, apple to $80 million buy-out streaming media music service provider Lala. Before this, Sweden Spotify music services provided services to win many fans music flow, purchase LaLa is apple challenges, to enter the field of streaming media music is an important measure.
Therefore, the technical personnel in LaLa, apple iTunes music store is likely to launch in 2010, streaming media music subscription services. But the service can provide iPhone 3G networks through user will depend on operators.

Rescuecom CEO Davy mill mann, said David (Milman) in the 2007-2008 list all competitors, the apple in the first half of this year the Mac HuaShuo is ranked in the first quarter, even beyond HuaShuo behind lenovo, and only the third. But in the third quarter, the reliability of the apple 374 points respectively, then return to top score is HuaShuo and two companies, the reliability of the product for 320 points scored and 166 points. Toshiba and HP is ranked fourth and fifth.

Rescuecom will each brand technical support telephones in proportion to the manufacturers in the United States after the comparison, the market share of the reliability statistics scores. The difference between the value, the higher. For example, although the market research firm IDC data show that the apple in the U.S. market only 9 percent of the market share, but Mac in Rescuecom technical support telephones in share only 2.4%. Rescuecom thinks, reliability, the higher score means more reliable hardware manufacturers to provide technical support as well.

Actually, the apple in the third quarter of a second season scoring reliability score lower 394 5%. But HuaShuo slip is more apparent, this company in the first half of the Rescuecom list has been leading in the third quarter, but the reliability of the score from the first quarter are incredibly high sharply declining to 166 points. Amir says, HuaShuo scoring slump is not an accident, he said: “HuaShuo many Internet this are now available for a long time, apparently produces more service needs.”

Toshiba and HP also scored the second season began to drop, but by less than HuaShuo. In the third quarter, scoring for 165 Toshiba reliability, HP, drop annulus annulus 24% decline 6%, reliability, scoring for 134.

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.
