Apple Eyes China as Next iPhone Target

Doing biz in china is a question of how much you are willing to give up to get what you want.
Apple has given everyting but the sale of the phone, and how much per phone is an unknown.
I am guessing Apple has cut profits even more than we think to gain market before other get too much traction....

Apple Seems Desperate to Enter Chinese Handset Market

Dropping the Rev share model , is simply Apple trying to make money in china.
Apple is fully aware that any sale is better than no sale and just like dell , msft, Goog, aapl is willing to cut margins to make sales in a market where being a player matters.

What this does show is that AAPL is not a special case like many fanboy non investor types would think , they are just another company trying to make a buck and willing to do what is needed.

Desperate? perhaps just concerned about market share and brand protection; If apple did not make a deal the phones or copies would be sold anyway, just not by apple.

Dell Launching a Smartphone: Bad Idea from the Get-Go?

"With a failing PC business"

where a story starts like this you really have to figure the whole thing is a POS.

Dell does not have a "failing PC business" . launching any new products that might have higher margins is the best thing they can do....

Will it work? well the world is a lot bigger than people here in the USA seem to think , there are billions of people who dont give a rats if the phone is made by apple or dell.

more people on earth have never heard of Apple, dell, HP then have.
