Skype coming to iPhone
Posted on March 31st, 2009 2 commentsHow’s this for a game-changer: Skype, that free Internet phone service we all enjoy, is coming to the iPhone. You can already use Skype on Google-powered phones, Nokia phones and Windows Mobile phones, but on Tuesday, you’ll be able to download a Skype app to your iPhone and make free VoIP calls to other Skype users. If you want to call a landline or cell, that works too: Skype provides cheap calls to ”traditional” phone numbers too.
Skype will only work with Wi-Fi, so it’s not like you’ll be able to make free calls from anywhere. Regardless, if you’re hanging out at home or in a café with an open wireless network, phone calls are free to other Skypers. Not perfect, but not bad at all. If I were in a business that relied on charging people to make cell phone calls, I’d be very, very nervous right about now.
Although I have gone on record as preferring the Jitterbug to the iPhone, but this news changes even my mind. I’m declaring it here: I am giving in to technological hipness and going to purchase an iPhone. So I’m on board and Attack of the Show host and iPhone user Kevin Pereira has been moved to declare “This will be a GAME CHANGER!” on his twitter. Perhaps you disagree? Do you think Skype will prove popular enough to be a widely useful way to make calls? Or does adding another layer of complexity to making a phone call doom iPhone Skype to the ghetto of tech weenies and “early adopters?”

CellphonesBox.com got a 3-million-dollar investment from Focus
Posted on March 31st, 2009 3 commentsAccording to sources, China’s first online wholesale site WWW.CellphonesBox.COM reached an investment contract with Canada Focus Private Equity Investment Company. Focus will offer a first-round fund injection of three million dollars, which can be ranked as another private equity investment in IT field. It is also considered a new high of the shortest capital attraction period. According to its domain registration information, we will easily find this site just celebrated its first month anniversary.
Focus is a Canadian private equity investment company managed as a family business. In its early years, it was mainly engaged in angel equity in the fields of infrastructure, aviation, etc. So Pandaoo.com is a new attempt for Focus on internet, who takes CellphonesBox.com the only investment target in China’s market.
According to sources concerned, the business pattern of CellphonesBox.com is to directly sell Chinese-made products around the globe through the internet, especially the US and Europe, where people are able to save as much as 50% of the prices of the local products. In the past, major B2C companies like Amazon.com were focusing on the US and European markets, whose influence on China were very limited, and people could hardly find any made-in-China goods online. But now CellphonesBox.com is making it possible that Chinese-made products are directly wholesaled into US market. Because of the price differences between directly-wholesaled Chinese products and Chinese products in American shops cellphones is able to maintain both competitiveness and a delightful profit margin of their products.
