Apple investors should be very happy: After Steve Jobs returned, Apple recently announced sales results showed four of the quarter, the history of the company, not more than one quarter over mobile phones and computers, but also that it is a great neighborhood before fake but the U.S. economy over the last 50 years, in the worst case. Of course, there is another happy event is an important “Apple Tablet” will appear. Recent rumors of Silicon Valley: Apple this long stay in the arena of products is only hearsay, the last to be released early next year, same time, the mysterious killer is likely to find a solution, jobs may be rounded so revolutionary e-Reader Market although he once said: “People do not read any . Recently, when the United States has estimated, “e-season play were,” The new electronic readers first published there on Plastic Logic “Que” and Nook Barnes & Noble. Compared to the Amazon Kindle with “Que” are more inclined to commercial users, while Nook The most striking feature is that the user may lend books to friends not to exceed 14 days. In other words, friends of the user Nook, PC, iPhone (using the mobile internet), part of Motorola smartphone or BlackBerry can offer e-book to Barnes & Noble reading program. But these same products and Kindle will be the 6-inch screen, the content is mainly e-books. In May of this year, Amazon Kindle Deluxe Edition “Kindle DX, screen design with 2 published 5 times the original size is in the media as the” Amazon finally released his sword on traditional media. “Traditional media is that every major supplier of electronic reader does not want exclusive area. Apple, the same way. After the United States, a number of science and technology blog said: This year, in June Apple has “understood the New York Times and other media for digital printing, the contents of the press to discuss how a new device.” Ways of thinking, since these digital media on iTunes Apple print print, and then for sale to users to download, but the message does not mention the source of traditional book publishers approached Apple with the news. There is one exception, that the most profitable of the fat – the textbook market. After we found the technology blog Gizmodo that Apple is working with McGraw-Hill, and Oberlin press to discuss ways to move the manual on iTunes. The logic here is: hundreds of new textbooks in general Prices in U.S. dollars, was sold to repeat around the library there is no discount to the then editor, smart card based on “a single textbook” (At a DRM’d -) time-to book, not only for publishers, which are very attractive because they can earn more money, and local bookstores in the area have been reduced, but not eat into profits. This shows that the target in the vicinity of Apple and Amazon, Kindle does DX date that Amazon has several major institutions of educational publishing. But that is another important issue: Apple Tablet, what would actually be rounded market e-reader and what is essentially different with the Kindle. More recently, Silicon Valley, there are rumors that Apple is at its Cupertino headquarters district of a handful of executives in a magazine for small group meetings was involved, they asked to publish, speak their own future to some of the ideas participants find its expression, the importance of interaction. “To this end, a number of technicians forecast was Apple Tablet is the ultimate goal is the creation of “hybrid” of content. In other words, Apple tablet for iTunes users to download newspapers and magazines you will find displays an interactive text, audio and video. If this is not just speculation, then, since the introduction of Microsoft Mail is not yet time, Amazon Kindle is relatively static E-Ink technology is limited to the media is not possible, then the potato Dan Geer has again opened a miracle she is “redefining the pressure,” not only the displacement of simple text. This shows that Apple is the next generation of providers print distribution of mobile content Rod, even though it may be very difficult to talk about the allocation of income from all parties in this case. electronic screen, weatherproof

Chi Mei Optoelectronics has reconvened in five generations of the plant further to let the yuan is the speed controls electronic paper should no longer hesitate, and rapid growth on the continent in the field of e-market readers at a rate of 5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, 8 inches to 9. 7-inch wide. “The largest U.S. bookstore chain Barnes & Noble (Barnes & Noble, Inc.) officially mark their own e-book reader” angle “on Amazon to open an immediate price war, announcing price cuts Kindle.

Apple investors should be very happy: After Steve Jobs came back, Apple recently announced a four-quarter results showed the company’s history any more than a quarter have sold more mobile phones and computers, but also, this is a big fake front quarter, but also the U.S. economy is in the past 50 years under the worst-case.

Of course, there is another joyous event is an important “Apple Tablet” will soon emerge. Recent rumors of Silicon Valley: Apple this long-term stay in the arena is only hearsay products, the latest will be released early next year; same time, the mysterious killer has also been some prospect of a solution, Jobs is likely to be rounded out a revolutionary way e-Reader Market , even though he once said, “People do not read anything.”

Recently rated as the United States, “e-reading season,” the new electronic reader products have released, first there is Plastic Logic’s “Que”, and then Barnes & Noble’s Nook. Compared to the Amazon Kindle with, “Que” are more inclined to commercial users; while Nook most prominent feature is that the user can lend books to friends not to exceed 14 days. In other words, the user’s friends can use Nook, personal computers, iPhone (mobile Internet), part of the Motorola smart phone or BlackBerry to Barnes & Noble to provide e-book reading program.

However, these same products and Kindle, the screen is 6 inches, the contents are mainly e-books. In May of this year, Amazon released Kindle Deluxe Edition “Kindle DX”, screen design with 2.5 times the original large, the media called the “Amazon has finally pointing its sword towards traditional media.”

Traditional media, is that each major provider of electronic reading device wants to coveted territory. Apple, the same way. According to the U.S. a number of science and technology blog said: This year in June, Apple has included “The New York Times” and some other digital media printing company to discuss the contents of the “how to press into a new device.” For kinds of thinking that is how these digital media printing company printed on the Apple iTune, and then for users to download sales, but the message did not mention the source of traditional book publishers approached Apple with the news.

There is one exception, that is the most profitable of the fat – the textbook market. According to technology blog GIZMODO revealed that Apple is working with McGraw Hill, and Oberlin Press to discuss how the textbook moved on iTune.

The logic here is: hundreds of new textbooks in general prices in U.S. dollars, was sold to repeat around the bookstores, there is no rebate back to the publisher, therefore, based on smart card “one-time textbook” (A DRM’d one-time-use book) not only for publishers who are very tempting, because they can earn more money; and the local bookstores in this industry segment have been reduced, but also to avoid eating into profits. This shows that close to Apple’s Goals and Amazon, Kindle DX release date means that Amazon has several major educational publishing institutions.

But another key question is: Apple Tablet in what way would actually be rounded out e-reader market and what will essentially different with the Kindle.

More recently, Silicon Valley, there are rumors, Apple at its Cupertino headquarters district held a handful of magazines executives involved in a small group meetings, “they were asked to talk about their own future publishing some of the ideas, participants expressed that the interaction significance. ” To this end, a number of technical people Forecast: Apple Tablet may be the ultimate goal is to create “hybrid” content. In other words, Apple Tablet from iTune users to download newspapers and magazines, to see is showing an interactive text, audio and video.

If the above is not just speculation, then, given the launch of Microsoft’s Courier is still no period, Amazon’s Kindle is limited to relatively static e-ink technology, multimedia can not be achieved, then the apple again Dan Geer opened a miracle, it is “re-definition of printing” , not just simple text displacement. This shows that Apple is moving in the next generation of print content distribution provider pole move, although it may be very difficult to talk about how to allocate proceeds of all stakeholders in this issue.electronic projector screen, weatherproof

Liu Cheng stressed that the yuan is too bought Hydis the three panel plants, and effective sharing of electronic paper capacity, and will soon be full. Chi Mei Optoelectronics has again succeeded in five generations of factory support, the yuan is too let the pace of electronic paper orders no longer need to hesitate, and can take over the mainland’s rapid growth in e-reader market, ranging in size from 5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, 8 -inch to 9.7 inch range.
