3G iPhone (2nd Generation)

Lots of news and rumors are telling 2nd Generation iPhone is imminent.
A few interesting features
1. GPS chip
2. Shiny black plastic back panel for improving the phone's antenna.
3. Immersion's haptic feedback
According to China-based Commercial Times, Foxconn is ramping up to ship 3 million 3G iPhone during the month of June.

This news is not good for competitors.
Sorry, Samsung (Instinct), Nokia (Tube), BlackBerry. You need more speed to catch up iPhone

Starting again

I has been away from my blog for a while. I was busy and lasy. I took over the responsibility of leading a small part (about 15 people). It was not easy task. These days, I feed a little bit old. I would like to go back to my fever days.

Here goes today's hot topic.
- Sanyo may selloff to Panasonic
. Around the globe, the mobile phone players are having difficulities. Lots of emerging companies (specially from Taiwan, China) are comming. The competing is getting fiercer. They always have to try a new one. If they fail to catch up the latest technology, design and trends, they just fade. Motorola is an example. Sanyo looks like no exception.

3G iPhone rumor
- It is a little bit old news. Rumor mills are running for 3G iPhone. I will see if I can get 3G iPhone in this summer.

MID (Mobile Internet Device)
- This is a new trend. Look at the HTC Shift. Actually I had been in this kind of market a few year ago. At that time it was not mobile. It was a Web Screen Phone. We thought Web Pad as a next generation. But the timing was bad. We failed to get the attention of large audience. Now this trend is coming back.
