Chapter 696 Delivering Eggs

Digital decoders such as MP3 did not appear on the first day, they appeared as early as a few years ago, and mobile phones are not new, but it is the first time that these two things appear together!
If you say that putting an MP3 player in your mobile phone can only be regarded as a novelty, then buying it from a computer music website and importing it to your mobile phone will amaze everyone in the conference center, including Jobs. up.

This is a fully mature process of digitizing traditional record music. The focus is not on the MP3 on the mobile phone, but on the sale, purchase, payment, and final delivery of the entire set of digital music to the user. It is completely divorced from the traditional Record stores and record channel companies!
The problems that hindered the digitization of records before were all solved by Alcatel mobile phones, or in other words, the Symbian music store.

Jobs saw clearly that the so-called music phone of Alcatel was not focused on the player on the phone, but on the Symbian music store!

The Saipan music store must promote copyrighted and genuine music. Its appearance is equivalent to the establishment of a record retail store on the Internet platform. As long as the five major record groups want to play digital music, it is impossible to bypass Saipan. class music store.

Unless, several major record companies don’t want Alcatel’s mobile phones to have tens of millions of users, or even the entire mobile phone brand equipped with the Symbian system, otherwise, the difference is only that the Symbian music store is different from the record group and mobile phone manufacturers. The problem of the distribution of spoils among them is the question of who gets the big head and who gets the small head.

In an instant, Jobs figured out the twists and turns. Other mobile phone manufacturers, even without Jobs, thought so far, but after seeing the P2 mobile phone and downloading songs from the Internet, they all know that the era of mobile phone music is really true. is coming!

Of course, for the music groups headed by the five major record groups, what needs to be considered is whether to cooperate with the Saipan music store that plays genuine music, or in what way.

But for countless mobile phone users, there is no need to think so much at all. Just buy a P2 mobile phone, and then find music resources to download from the Internet. When you can’t download free music, you will consider going to the Saipan music store. This kind of place pays for downloading.

After seeing the "linkage" between the P2 mobile phone and the Symbian music store, many eyes unconsciously looked at Kalanick in the first row!

Kalanick could clearly feel that a pair of eyes with unclear meanings were all looking at him.

Music phones, or the arrival of the digital music era, means that free music sites like Scour are coming in spring, and Scour users will usher in an epic explosion!

Before being killed by the five major record groups, unless Scour cuts off its own arm and closes the P2P user sharing function, otherwise, it will become one of the hot spots of the Internet.

It's just that in the end, Scour went all the way to the dark, or luck, and it was Kalanick's luck to be able to make a transition after going public!

"In addition to the music function, the screen of the P2 uses the most advanced color screen technology in the world. This is the mobile phone with the highest resolution in the world!"

Elthian held up the P2 in his hand and boasted vigorously, "P2 mobile phones support e-book functions. Alcatel mobile phones are working with Amazon, eBay and other companies to develop the American e-book website. We hope that in the future, everyone can use mobile phones, Computer and other channels to watch digital e-books!"

The e-book function of the P2 mobile phone is still a weak point, just to make a fuss about it. The main problem is the copyright of books. Like the record industry, the book industry in America is more conservative.

Alcatel mobile phones only acquired a batch of outdated book copyrights, and those best-selling book copyrights cannot be touched by Alcatel mobile phones.

It's just that the function of e-books is expected to be very popular in places where book copyrights are chaotic. In America, it may be difficult to cause any disturbance in a short period of time.

"The P2 mobile phone also supports functions such as multimedia messages, color pictures, and postcards. As long as you sign up for the America Telecom package, you can download and send color pictures, MMS, etc. to your friends. In addition..."

Ertian showed a lot of fancy functions such as color pictures, multimedia messages, postcards, etc. Compared with ordinary black and white text messages and pictures, color pictures, pictures and text messages of various colors, and even a multimedia message has more Functions such as GIF animation, sound, vibration, etc., amazed the audience.

It looks good-looking, but correspondingly, it is naturally a little bit more expensive. American Telecom's pricing for functions such as color pictures and MMS is US$[-]. After all, only American Telecom can provide this function in the world. What's wrong with being more expensive? !

Ertian made a long voice, "P2 mobile phone, and America Telecom, jointly developed the ring back tone function.

Everyone is unique, and every mobile phone should have its own unique ringtone! "

Seeing the CRBT, many mobile phone manufacturers present were a little puzzled. They didn't know what this thing had to do with mobile phones. What's so special about a broken ringtone?

However, many young men and women present showed obvious interest after hearing the function of the CRBT.

Young people like to be independent, especially in America. Every young man is trying to find ways to become the most beautiful kid, wearing clothes backwards, not wearing pants, etc., basically showing this aspect.

And if a mobile phone ringtone can make them stand out, even if ordering mobile phone ringtones seems a bit of a scam, there will still be a large number of young people who will be happy.

As for those fans of singers, it is estimated that they will pay more. If they can spend a few dollars to make their idol's songs ring in their ears and the mobile phones of the people who call them, it is estimated that there will be many fans who are willing to pay for their idols.

Not to mention CRBT, it will only be popular in China, and it is basically common all over the world, and America also has a market. Even if it is not as exaggerated as in Asia, the annual CRBT revenue of hundreds of millions to billions of dollars, It's still no problem, even the surrounding posters and figures can be sold, not to mention the ringtone.

After showing most of the functions, Ertian showed the mobile game department of Sierra Mountain, several mobile games developed for P2, such as Texas Hold'em, Airplane Wars, Homeland, and Super Miner.

Compared with Blizzard and V Agency, the Xueleshan mobile game department is far less famous. It debuted last year with "Greedy Snake". The class system is developing mobile games.

Mobile games are now not about making money, but about attracting users and increasing popularity. Last year's Snake Snake greatly increased the popularity of Alcatel mobile phones.

Many users even bought mobile phones because they were greedy for snakes, so Alcatel mobile phones did not expect to make a few bucks by relying on these games. Carter mobile phone, can have a few more selling points!

The entire press conference lasted nearly an hour. When the announcement was over, the Alcatel mobile phone allowed the audience to experience P2 firsthand, which is also one of the benefits for the audience.

This year's audiences all signed up on Alcatel's mobile phone official website, and then received invitations to participate. Last year's P1 conference, in order to attract users to the scene, Alcatel mobile phones did a lot of tricks.

Last year, as long as the users who went to the conference to watch the press conference, Alcatel mobile phones, they all gave a discount coupon of tens of dollars. The scene of the press conference was too deserted.

This year, there is no need to engage in the "egg delivery" routine. Alcatel mobile phones and Symbian systems have gained a lot of fans, or they have attracted the attention of a group of electronic enthusiasts.

In Ertian, after announcing that the P2 mobile phone will officially go on sale globally this Friday, the entire press conference officially ended.

The personnel of the public relations department of Alcatel mobile phone were dispatched immediately to send transportation expenses to the media and reporters who came to the scene, and reimbursed these reporters' hotel and air ticket expenses, as well as various shopping cards and consumption coupons. The routine still needs to be given.

The major newspapers and media have not yet started to report the news of the P2 mobile phone, but Yahoo, MSN and other portal websites, as well as major electronic forums, blogs that have just appeared this year, etc., have begun to appear comments and reports on the P2 mobile phone.

On the Internet, there are mixed opinions about the P2 mobile phone. On the largest electronic forum in America, just after the press conference, the debate on the P2 mobile phone appeared directly on Qianlou Post. Niu is also a gathering place for enthusiasts, and the debate on P2 mobile phones can be described as quite intense.

There are posts that think that the P2 mobile phone has a virtual chart and a lot of fancy functions, but compared to the design of the P1 that changed the mobile phone industry pattern, the P2 is at best a small fuss.

But there are also supporters who believe that P2 is already unique in terms of functions and is still leading the trend of mobile phones.

"Before the Alcatel P1 mobile phone appeared, the mobile phone industry was the same. It is impossible to expect that the P2 mobile phone will overthrow everything established by the P1 mobile phone. The P2 is already sufficiently advanced on the basis of the P1. , it is absolutely qualified in P2 design!"

A big cow in an electronic forum, an engineer who once worked for Motorola, thinks that P2 is qualified.

"What do you think?"

On the TV screen, after the press conference was over and the audience lined up in a long line, waiting to experience the P2 mobile phone screen, Nokia President Ollila turned off the TV and asked a group of Nokia executives.
