iPhone Killer: Samsung Comes out with 3 Touch Screen Mobile Phones

It seems that all the companies want to kill iPhone. Yesterday, I hope two entries about it. Today, I found that Samsung has come out with three touches screen mobile phones sets to compete with Apple’s iPhone: Delve, Behold, and Eternity. Eric Zeman has written about it here: Samsung Launches A Slew Of iPhone Wannabes.

I am not surprised to see that Samsung has been trying very hard to put up a tough competition to iPhone. But I feel that they should spend their energy on something else. The best thing they can do is to focus on The Asian market. The issue and the economy is growing and I think that there is still a lot of room for growth in Asia. So, they should spend their energy more on the home content rather than Europe and America.

Sony Xperia X1: The iPhone Killer?

It seems that whenever a new multimedia and inexpensive mobile phone handset come to the market, from people like to feel that it may kill the iPhone. So, I was not surprised to see the title: Will be the iPhone killer? I am quoting from the report:

A sleek steel body, a blackberry-like QWERTY keyboard, 3-inch VGA screen, multiple-panels, and loads of other features, that’s Sony Xperia X1, the new mobile phone from Sony Ericsson, its answer to the likes of iPhone and Nokia N96. But priced at Rs45,500 or roughly half a lakh, will this product find takers? Anil Sethi, President, Sony Ericsson India argues that it’ll, because of the value proposition it offers. He says, “If we look at the general market in India, it is reasonably priced. It’s a high price segment model. But after all, we are targeting the needs of the higher segment.”

I really don’t think that it can’t compete with iPhone. Afghans, you have to remember that it is Indian market and the rules of the game is a bit different. Sony has a strong physical presence in Indian market while appeal of Israel’s still could not understand the potential of this market. So, what is your verdict on this?
