iPhone market share in the first quarter was only 1.5%

By Haven Frbiz

U.S. technology blog Silicon Alley Insider Denver洛梅尔Author (Dan Frommer) today, the author pointed out that although Apple's iPhone provides the company with a strong growth momentum, the leading mobile technology and the profits are very substantial, but its market share is still very limited . Following is the full text: mobile research firm ABI Research recently estimated that global mobile phone sales for the first quarter of 258 million, sales in March to 3,800,000. If there is no deviation in the forecast means that Apple's iPhone accounted for only 1.5 percent of market share.

This also means that Apple is still huge room for growth, but also shows that the majority of mobile phone users to choose other brands of mobile phones, not all users have the opportunity to purchase the iPhone. We believe that the mobile phone market with more and more similar to the desktop market. With the importance of upgrading the software, users of mobile loyalty platform also improve. BlackBerry users are more willing to use the BlackBerry, and iPhone users more like iPhone ... ...

There are many users think that Apple should improve the current situation in order to maintain the growth of iPhone, the user's recommendations include:

- IPhone software platform to keep ahead of the competition. This is Apple has already done that last month the company announced that it would launch this summer in the iPhone 3.0 software.

- Improve the iPhone. This may become a reality this summer. Apple is likely to be held in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference, or to display a variety of new iPhone. Although unlikely with the current iPhone has too many different, but will be faster and better.

- To maintain low prices iPhone: iPhone sales of 199 U.S. dollars is more than double the 399 U.S. dollars. If the price is 99 U.S. dollars will be reduced to what? We believe that this year may see a ultra-low price of iPhone.

- The expansion of distribution channels of iPhone: Apple said this year will enter the China market, will also be in the United States with more operators, but a short period of time is also very difficult to become a reality.

- Continue to expand its iPhone operating system platforms. iPod Touch is a great product, why not introduce a range between the iPhone and the iMac flat-panel equipment? - 21396

Cheap Cars Can Still Be Reliable

By Brian Moffat

It may sound strange but using cash to pay for a used car is the best method for saving money in the long run. Most car buyers will end up owing the bank lots of money after they sign on the dotted line. Instead, you can work on paying off your other loans and credit cards. Wouldn't it be nice to have one less bill to pay each month?

Sometimes the most difficult aspect of using cash to purchase a new or used car is saving up enough money so you don't need to get a loan. It's also important to do your homework when shopping for the best car deals because you don't want to spend your hard-earned money on a car that ends up needing a lot of repairs.

You'll want to find a trusted friend or mechanic to help you on your quest to find a cheap and reliable used car. If you go to look at used cars in person they can come along and let you know if the car is in need of any obvious repairs. However, if you can take the car you're interested in buying on a test drive it might be a good idea to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle. They can hook it up to diagnostic tools to let you know exactly how the engine is running. Buying a car is a large investment, second only to the purchase of a new home.

Thanks to recent technology there are many cars available to purchase that are more dependable than in years past. Just be careful when looking for cheap used cars in the classified ads because sometimes these vehicles can be less than reliable. However, you can find a lot of great deals this way because you're dealing directly with the seller which is a lot different than shopping for used cars at a dealership.

Some cars are known to be more dependable than others in terms of maintenance and repairs. You can research this information by reading magazines like Consumer Reports. This is good information to know before you even start looking at used cars for sale. That way you don't waste time looking at a bunch of cars that are sure to be lemons. You don't even need to have a subscription to the magazine. Simply visit your local library and they will have copies of back issues available for you to look at or checkout so you can study them at home.

Shopping for a used car can be a stressful experience but if you take your time and don't rush into things you're sure to find a great deal. There are so many cars out there it would be impossible not to find the perfect vehicle for you. - 21396

In early March this year, the nationwide every day mean crude iron alloy output approximates for 1.378 million tons, in late February than 1.51 million tons every day yield dropped by 132,000 tons. This is the year of crude iron alloy by-year assessment of mean every day output of the first down turn in iron alloy charges is the outcome of re-production. In 2008 as a outcome of output, as well as the high groundwork in the identical time span is anticipated in March 2009 year-on-year development rate of crude iron alloy output by 1,2 months of contradictory development to affirmative growth.
