For mobile phones is that a delay half of a lifetime, given the current breakneck speed of innovation.
The figures also Nokia's Achilles heel: sold to mobile phones, Nokia is still a giant. Last quarter it sold 583% more phones than Apple. But its edges are very thin, and it is no wonder that Apple is now a major phone maker on revenue and profits.

Apple (AAPL) and other consumer electronics manufacturers will generate by 2015, in growing demand to fill the gap between smartphones and laptops, devices 49 billion in computer tablet sales predicted analytical strategy.
Tablets are easily accessible to as many markets as companies such as Samsung Electronics (005930: KS), Motorola mobility Holdings (MMI), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), and Dell (DELL) rush to "copycat" Apple iPad, according to research firm based in Boston. "The strategic trend here is for computing personal and mobile move from keyboards to touch screens, says Neil Mawston, analyst of analytical strategy." Competition is increasing, supply is increasing, this price should fall over time. ?
Rivals to Apple release their own devices Tablet-style to replicate the success of the iPad, which generated $ 9.6 billion in sales year since its inception in April 2010. In North America, Asia-Pacific and Western Europe represent great opportunities for suppliers of the Tablet, said analytical strategy. The Tablet may exceed all the other consumer electronic devices by the sale, except for the personal computers and televisions, she says.

"At least for the next two years, you can assume that apple will be the leader," he said. "This will be a fast growing market and it will be many announcements in the next few years one or two, but very few of them will actually survive in the long term.".
While the Tablet price will be begin to decline in about two years, Lamba says, Apple "aggressive" pricing leaves little room for rivals significantly reduce prices.

Microsoft has fought legal battles with officials in Europe and the United States over competition in the personal computer market. But now Microsoft is accusing Google of being anti-competitive. A complaint to the European Commission accuses Google of unfairly controlling the Internet search market in Europe.
Google is already talking to the commission about the issue and says it is happy to explain to anyone how its business works.
Google also faces other issues. Gmail users in China began reporting problems with Google's e-mail service in late February. The problems came as news of the revolutions in the Arab world filled the Internet and there were online calls for protests in China.
Google said the government was interfering with its e-mail service.
(SOUND)
Last week, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu called the accusations unacceptable. But Google spokeswoman Jessica Powell said the company stood by its earlier comments.
JESSICA POWELL: "This is a government blockage, carefully designed to look like the problem is with Gmail."
Google is the world leader in Internet search. But in China, the biggest search engine is Baidu. And this week, China's largest Internet media company, Sina, dropped Google's search engine from its website. Sina says it is using its own technology.
An estimated four hundred fifty million Chinese are online -- about half of all Internet users in Asia.
Last year, Google said a cyberattack from China had attempted to get information from the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. Google also expressed concerns about censorship. So Google relocated its Chinese search engine from the mainland to Hong Kong.
The company is also facing new problems at home. A federal judge in New York has ruled against its plan to put millions of books online.
Google wants to create a digital library of all the world's books. It reached a one hundred twenty-five million dollar deal in two thousand eight with groups representing writers and publishers. Google agreed to create a system to pay copyright holders when their works are used online.
But Judge Denny Chin rejected the proposed settlement. He said it gives Google monopoly control of the book search market. But he left open the possibility for a new plan.
On a similar issue, Baidu says it has removed almost three million documents from its library. Writers have complained that Baidu did not have permission for their works to appear on its document-sharing site.
And that's the VOA Special English Economics Report, written by Mario Ritter and available online at voaspecialenglish.com. I’m Steve Ember.
Thanks Google as I have used its search engine for almost ten years. I hope Google will go well.
01-04-2011Jean
I use Google as my search engine. Its entry website is simple and easy to use. And it changes the images on its main page very often. They are cute and significant - an image today to celebrate Robert Bunsen's 200th birthday for example.
01-04-2011russell(U.S.)
Google doesn't block competition. They're just better than the competition. Microsoft is behind, for the first time in a long time; they just don't like it. Microsoft should know about blocking competition; however, they were never better than the competition. Are they saying google blocks (amused) bing? ha. They just steal google's results anyways. hahahha.
01-04-2011Winsor
Thank you, This is all about money and government regulations.
Sometimes Baidu is so bad, I still like google more.
01-04-2011C(Vietnam)
Google is the most effective search engine in my country. But it is not that i agree with the monopoly control in any forms. the monopoly has been happening in my country from petroleum, to electricity... and the farmer class are suffer most. Because it doesn't make the fairly competion in the ecomomy, and to lead the slackness in work. it would have been bad if it happened in administrative cite.
I don't know that Google's prospect of creating book market is likely to have exclusive possesion. there are Amazon and Apple. Is Googole user in Europe so many ?
I don't know the fact of the collision occurred between the Chinese goverment and Google, so I cann't make a comment about this. But on the issue of digital libary, I absolutely stand by the writers' side. Goole and Baidu have no rights to publish the books without authorization.
I use Google, Gmail, and Facebook every day, and I don't remember having any problems. I'm very satisfied with them. Also, I support Google's plan to create a digital library of all the world's books, because it would save time and money I spend going to bookstores, besides reducing the use of paper and energy resources required to produce it.

01-04-2011Rafael(Colombia)
thanks VOA! i learn more english everyday! the pronunciation is perfect!
It seems that there are a number of problems for Google ahead. Because there are only a few search engines in one country, without taking a measure, the company may dominate the market. Google is always a trailblazer such as putting books online. That's why the company faces those problems, I think.
Chinese government also block VOA just like google wonderful services. But you know, the most wonderful ability of Chinese is to get used to the government and find the new way to do what we want.We use VPN to check the site which blocked by government.
i use google, and i like google, because it has its advantages in some ways. however, we can't understand the real truth of google, or microsoft, or its relation with government as outsiders. i think we should keep an objective way to see this.

google is useful for me. It helps me look information very fast, acurately and bargainly.
02-04-2011Kontan Tarigan(Korea)
Most of chinese who I known in Korea prefer Baidu than google.

In our eyes Google benifits us a lot, but in fact it is also harmful to others, when the harms happen on us, we may think Google should change its style.

I don't love search engines other than Google, I use it as my homepage everytime sitting down in front of PC. Facebook and "left side" web sites have been strictly censured. "Vietnam is the enemy of the Internet", RWB said.
