Shanghai bites an Apple today

10th July 2010 saw an amazing and another interesting milestone for Apple in Shanghai, China.
As per Wall Street Journal, over 150 Apple fans waited overnight to be the first one's to get into the beautiful new underground store inaugurated by Apple today.

Apple opened the doors of its second store in the entire country on Saturday, drawing crowds of all ages as early at 5 a.m. Some drove several hours or flew in from other provinces for a chance to line up outside the cylindrical glass building. Many hoped to catch a glimpse of the iPhone 4 or of Steve Jobs, but were disappointed.

Like the company's flagship store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the Pudong store is located below ground level and utilizes the glass tower as an iconic entryway with a glass stairway descending to the store below.

No Nexus 2 says Google CEO

As per recent discussions between Mr. Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO and The Daily Telegraph, the reports have been confirmed that there will be no Nexus Two coming out in the market anytime.
Nexus One was launched by Google, in association with HTC, to push off Google's open-platform Android computing OS in 2008.
"The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did," he said.
Android is now activated on 160,000 phones daily, that's almost 5m every month, demonstrating a significant take-up of the operating system and Android app Marketplace. Google has also just announced plans to expand into emerging markets in a bid for a further slice of the mobile market.
With due gentle blow, he turned down any accusations on Apple competing with Google or there being a tug of war between these two market leaders for the share of market, by simply putting forward the fact that they both are into making totally different devices. He dismissed questions about the competition between Google and Apple, calling the two companies' models ‘completely different,' while emphasising the openness of Google's Android platform and ability of individuals to build any business model on top of the free software, describing Apple's platform as ‘the inverse'.

iPhone 4 reception issue not really a Math Error

Mr. Jobs easily said, "it is a Math error" for all the accusations put on account of iPhone 4's reception issue when not held in a "right way".
Last week witnessed Apple witnessing 3 lawsuits being filed against iPhone 4's misleading marketing approach, hiding problems and issue with iPhone 4 at the time of launch.
Here's a video by Redmond Pie, which shows he had no problems using the phone:



I just want to ask one thing, is there anything called "Ethical Marketing" in this world full of cut-throat competition?

Droid X hits iPhone 4 with Antenna Jibe

In an ad in Wednesday's New York Times began to tout Droid X's countless wonders. Droid X is big and most importantly, will have Android 2.2 later this summer.


Apart from other numerable statements, they clearly seemed to be mocking and utilising iPhone 4's current market situation to its advantage, by stating, "And most importantly, it comes with a double antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make crystal clear calls."


As the ad says, in all its subtlety: "You have a voice. You deserve to be heard."  It will be truly fascinating to see, on its launch day of July 15, just how many people stand in line to get their hands on this undoubtedly fine new phone.
