ezultatele studiului (facut pe un esantion de cumparatori din Statele Unite in prima zi de la lansarea iPhone 4) ne arata ca 77% dintre cumparatorii iPhone 4 sunt clienti de iPhone care si-au upgradat practic terminalul curent. Procentul este in crestere de la 38% la lansarea iPhone 3G si 56% la lansarea iPhone 3GS. Mai mult decat atat, 65% dintre cei ce si-au achizitionat un iPhone 4 sunt detinatorii unui Mac si doar 35% detin un PC.

Vodafone şi AT&T posibili cumpatori ai diviziei de telefoane mobile a Huawei

Vodafone şi AT&T sunt două dintre companiile anuntate ca posibili cumparatori ai 50% din acţiunile diviziei de telefoane mobile a Huawei Technologies, care au fost puse în vânzare săptămâna trecuta. Alte companii care s-au anuntat interesate sunt firmele de private equity Blackstone, TPG si Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.

Aceasta companie chinezeasca privata se ocupa cu producerea de telefoane mobile, laptopuri, carduri pentru laptopuri si routere, printre alte echipamente comunicationale. Huawei a anuntat recent ca un procent de 50% din segmentul sau de telefonie mobila a fost pus la dispozitie celor mai darnici licitanti.

Not If, But When

Apple told Citigroup analysts that it plans to enter Asia and more European countries by the end of the year. Apple and AT&T, the exclusive U.S. carrier, have separately indicated that a 3G iPhone will be released this year.

"You'll have it next year," AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson told an audience in November when asked about a 3G iPhone. That comment suggested AT&T would be expanding a 3G network this year, and the company recently made good on that promise, announcing plans to roll out 3G in 350 U.S. markets, including all of the largest 100 cities.

Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Creative Strategies, said that while 3G is definitely in Apple’s future, “the timing of this is still in question.” Whenever it happens, the development will “help Apple get even more attention for the iPhone in the U.S. and abroad in markets where it is legal.”
