Categories: Apple, Corporate | add this page to Mister Wong

Dell has been the king of computer industry, selling millions beige boxes (dull PCs), but as people changed its taste Dell started to suffer massive business decline, nobody wants to buy dull boxes anymore, instead of they were looking for commodities equipments that make their life more pleasant, something that Apple has been providing since introduction of the egg-shaped iMac and continue with the out-of-this-world design of the iPhone. Now Dell has put its act together and launched a new line of Display with an ultra innovative design and features that match Apple offer, following its desire to abandon in some part the Beige PC design, Dell yesterday announced the Dell Studio Hybrid Pc and Inspiron, a new redesign PC that is without doubt a refresh into its product line. Today's news is that Dell is testing a new MP3 player to be launched this September. Is Dell a threat to Apple's Business? It will depends on how Dell execute its plan, but I don't think they can do any harm to Apple core business, Dell has sold iPods, then launched the Dell DJ MP3 player trying to grab some users from the ipod, but hasn't been a threat to Appe ...

Can Blackberry or Palm gives Apple a run?

Categories: Apple, Application, Applications, Business, Content, Corporate, Email, Finance, GPS | add this page to Mister Wong

Well... I don't think so, while RIM is reported to be gaining some marketshares away from the iPhone, it is still too soon to declare a winner, this is the second major upgrade for the iPhone while the Blackberry has suffered a dozen or more. It is important to notice that the iPhone that can give RIM some headaches, because is packed with the same or even more business features, those that have helped Blackberry become the king. Apple has set its sight on the Enterprise and has promised features what will help Apple master this new and complicated market and put some pressure to RIM at the same time. There is excitement among developers and major corporations are starting to realize that the iPhone is more than another smartphone, it is a platform, some have commited to bring the most compelling suit of applications to meet any business need. IBM, Sun, NetSuite, Salesforce, even Microsoft has been babbling about the possibility of an Office version for the iphone. Styletap is promising Palm emulation on the iphone, increasing automatically the numbers of business applications available for the device. So, if we were to declare a winner, there is not better time than ...

Apple doesn’t need to take on HP or Dell to be a enterprise front runner

Categories: Apple, Corporate | add this page to Mister Wong

In the not so distant past the personal computer came to our homes from the enterprise users that happy with what they have as a business tool were adapting it to a more and more personal use. Every new computer or any other technology was intended first to the enterprises and then those systems found its way to home. For Apple is the same, but in an inverse way, the mac, imac, macbook, ipod and iphone are finding its way to Business America because those employees or businesspeople have enjoyed a better personal experience and want to translated to their respective businesses. If Apple wants to enter the business market would only has to take care of its personal market, it will drive and direct what the enterprises will adapt to, in the end, those enterprisess are managed by avid pc or mac users that will bring anything that better their performance and there is nothing more productive and efficient-wise that work with your own tools, those that you master everyday. I think that for Apple the Business Market won't ever represent more than their Personal Market in marketshare or sales every quarter and of course any investment aimed to get its ...

You will NEVER see an iMac ZF5475br

Categories: Apple, Application, Corporate, Mac OS X, Macbook | add this page to Mister Wong

What I really like about Apple is the simplicity, every mac model represent an economic or professional group with two different colors and nothing else, simple. This categorization is something implemented with the second coming of Steve Jobs to Apple, because I remember when the Performa Line had those strange numbers attatched at the end (Macintosh Performa 5210CD), but thanks God, this aberration is not more. In the other hand, you could still find that almost every pc maker still uses numbers to differentiate one machine from another, sometime the differentiation is vague, more megahertz, more video ram, a dvd burner, making the experience painful to the buyers that have to check every single machine to know the different between them. Take for example I tried to buy one Sony Vaio Laptop, I got macs at home and at the office so a pc would be some kind of experiment, I went to Sony Style Online Store searching for laptops, there are 6 different laptop categories and an umpc, I chose the Sony Vaio TZ Series, this serie has the next models: VGN-TZ2000 VGN-TZ2500 VGN-TZ298N/XC VGN-TZ295N/XC VGN-TZ285N/RC VGN-TZ270N/B VGN-TZ250N/B VGN-TZ250N/P VGN-TZ250N/N All of them with different prices and specs, don't forget that this is just a model from the ...

Let Mac OS X Server runs on PCs

Apple has been a consumers company from day one and all its design and innovation work has served to position Apple in the front of the pc industry, Apple sales have skyrocketed every single quarter, but silently the enterprise sale has been not so excellent, Apple has managed to make son inroad into Business America and now that Windows Vista has been a fiasco, a large number of IT managers have started to look to Mac OS X and Mac as a solid alternative to Microsoft failed upgrade. But for Apple really make a huge progress into Businesses the easier, smarter and riskier thing to do is to set free Mac OS X Server and let it runs on every single machine on the planet. Apple won't lose anything, this is a win-win situation and OS X Server won't ever cannibalized the Consumer version and will provide fresh cash and market share immediately. Imagine Dell, HP, IBM, Sun, Acer and all the other PC companies providing Mac OS X Server as a real alternative to Windows and Linux. Mac OS X Server has a cheaper price against Windows Servers and is easier to use and more solid and virus proof ...

iPod-iPhone Marketing could drive more revenue to Apple

Categories: Ads, Apple, Audio, Battery, Content, Corporate, Design, Games, Mobile Appz, Mobile Phone, Multimedia, Phone, accesories, music | add this page to Mister Wong

The ipod and the iphone have proven to be the most sucessful duo, the ipod has taken the portable music industry by storm and now the iPhone is doing the same thing for the mobile industry, but Apple is not cashing or taking advantages totally in the marketing arena. Here is the point: The marketing behind the ipod was and is still excellent, trendsetting, joyful and has done its job, put the ipod everywhere in an entertainming manner, everybody enjoys those well done ads, the music, the images, the strategy worked for the ipod. With the iphone, Apple has turned to the other side, showing what to do with your newly iphone. While this is a direct to your brain marketing, it is totally different from the ipod one. Good, the ipod and the iphone have received thousand of free TV exposure, people showing their favorite mp3 or smartphone to everybody and this represents a bigger than expected and unpaid marketing campaign. But hey, Where is the Yanqui's based iPod or iPhone? Or the David Ortiz fully loaded iPod? And there is where Apple is still sleeping, there is a bigger and more fanatic audience out there that is willing to have a Baseball ...

Apple wants over-the-air music downloads for 3G iPhone

Categories: Apple, Applications, Audio, Content, Corporate, Finance, internet, iphone, ipod | add this page to Mister Wong

Apple is in talks some of the major music labels over a deal that would allow next-generation iPhone owners to purchase music tracks directly from the handset over cellular wireless networks, according to the New York Times. Owners of the company's first-generation iPhone can already accomplish this via a mobile version of the iTunes Store that resides on the handset, but they must be connected to the Internet via a high-speed WiFi connection to do so. The arrival of faster 3G cellular network access alongside the next iPhone, widely expected for an announcement during the second week of June at Apple's developers conference, would make it more "technically feasible" for Apple to offer the over-the-air route, the Times notes. However, the paper reports that the music labels are holding their hand out, demanding that in return they be paid more than the 70 cent wholesale price of songs sold over traditional Internet lines.

Deadly Match! Blackberry Bold vs Apple iPhone… it is a corporate world

Categories: Apple, Applications, Audio, Content, Corporate, Design, accesories | add this page to Mister Wong

When the iPhone was launched it was not intended to be a corporate smartphone from day one and this keeps RIM happier, while the iPhone took marketshare from everybody it can't touch the Blackberry, because they both were in different leagues, now that the future for the iPhone is set and it includes direct marketing to corporations, the same RIM market. RIM has been moving desperately creating and launching devices that put a stop to the Apple intentions. It's going to be a blood battle and Apple is doing everything right to take a big chunk of corporate market from RIM (the corporate king is without a doubt the Blackberry), but Apple has been doing its homeworks and you would see the penetration it will gets with the iphone. I was expecting a different, more cleaned and elegant Blackberry, RIM can't compete with the Bold with the iPhone in form factor, it gets knock out. They need to create a different device, forget about corporate, innovate around your corporate clients' needs and give them a more compelling experience. That is the reason the iPhone is what it is, because ...

Appleinsider: Apple snags 14 percent of US-based PC retail sales in February

Categories: Apple, Applications, Corporate, Finance, Itunes, internet, iphone, ipod | add this page to Mister Wong

Growth in Apple's personal computer business continued to outpace the industry average last month, with Macs accounting for a 14 percent unit share and 25 percent dollar share of all US-based PC retail sales, according to market research firm NPD. The results -- first revealed in an investor note from Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves on Monday -- represent 60 percent unit growth and 67 percent revenue growth over the same period one year ago. At the same time, overall US PC retail shipments grew just 9 percent on a 5 percent increase in revenues. Apple saw particular strength in notebook systems, which rose 64 percent in units and 67 percent in revenues, suggesting strong sell-through of the company's new MacBook Air, noted Hargreaves. "Macbook Air sales appear to be additive to total sales, rather than replacing Macbook Pro sales," he said. "We believe a new set of corporate customers make up a meaningful portion of MacBook Air buyers." Overall, the US retail segment combined for a 20 percent increase in notebook shipments on an 11 percent rise in revenues. The Mac maker also saw robust demand for its desktop systems, which grew 55 percent on a 68 percent increase in ...
