iMessage = +2 miliarde/zi

Apple a anuntat volumul de iMessages schimbat zilnic intre posesorii de iPhone/iPad: mai mult de 2 miliarde. Mi se pare foarte mare, nu-mi dau seama cate s-ar fi transformat in sms-uri normale, platite, dar oricum am da-o, pare o gaura de cateva zeci de milioane euro/usd, bani care nu mai intra in buzunarelor operatorilor de telecom.

+ 700 milioane

Piata de smartphone-uri pe 2012:

De aici.

Apropo de Samsung, rezultate spectaculoase pe Q4, 52.4 USD miliarde venituri si 8.3 miliarde USD profit. Desigur, pretul actiunilor a scazut si la ei.

Meh

Rezultatele Apple pe ultimele 3 luni din 2012:

– Vanzari record de iPhone
– Vanzari record de iPad
– Venituri record
– Profit record

Reactia bursei? Scadere de 10% a pretului actiunilor ceea ce tradus mai simplu ar insemna reducerea capitalizarii Apple cu valoarea Nokia pe bursa x2 + valoarea RIMM/Blackberry pe bursa x2.

1. FT reduce din print si angajeaza pentru online:

In a memo e-mailed to staff, Barber said the FT needs to spend less money (and time) producing the paper so it can invest in improving its online presence. „We need to ensure that we are serving a digital platform first, and a newspaper second,” he wrote.

2. Pentru ca #asaincepe si ei stiu asta, Google negociaza din greu cu publisherii francezi:

According to the report, French publishers turned down the €50 million (USD $66.6 million) offer and demanded a figure of €70 to €100 million instead. They also objected to the way Google proposed to disburse the money. The company reportedly offered to spend a third of the €50 million in the form of direct ad purchases while using the rest for commercial advertising partnerships between Google and the publishers. The publishers reportedly complained that too much of the proposed money was contingent on sales figures.
