“BYD-iron battery project settled Baolong Industrial Zone, Shenzhen, that in the future layout of the new energy automotive industry has been to seize the opportunities. BYD to build the headquarters of the economic building, I accompany you in Longgang site!” February 5 , Longgang District secretary of the Chiang Kai-shek led his unit to the BYD jade statue door service, the company’s chairman, said Wang Chuanfu. It is reported that Longgang District Longgang the full support of BYD in the construction of a high standard area of 50 million square meters, annual production value of nearly 100 billion-iron battery project base and help the economy BYD headquarters building located in Longgang built to further enhance the its core brand values.

At present, BYD has been in the Baolong Industrial Zone, more than 60 million square meters of factory park is preparing for the construction of a new park planned area of 50 million square meters, the base to start after the completion of its new energy vehicles in the core of power technology part of the iron battery.

“Product In addition to the supply of BYD’s own electric car, there will be the Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and SAIC global auto giants such as new energy automotive supply, output is expected to reach billions of dollars.” Relevant person in charge, according to BYD , iron battery is BYD new energy automotive industry in the core technology in a new part of the upstream energy industry, electric vehicles and energy storage power station will be the basis. After the completion of the project will be the BYD Baolong Industrial Zone, across the country’s largest iron battery production base, but also will become the world’s largest automotive battery with a new energy production base.

“The new industrial zone construction standards will be comparable to build a new city.” According to reports, in Longgang District, the growing scarcity of industrial land, the BYD new park’s construction will follow the principle of intensification, in accordance with high standards of a modern industrial park to construction, Baolong Industrial Zone and will be the landmark, thus enhancing the image of the entire industrial area.

At present, BYD Baolong Industrial Zone in the existing plants produce lithium batteries, employs nearly 10 million people, the park is like a small industrial town scale. After the completion of the new park, Baolong Industrial Zone, the park will be the BYD, Huawei, Foxconn in Shenzhen, after yet another very large industry clusters.

Last year, the impact of the financial crisis, Longgang economic development remains a relatively rapid rate of growth achieved, Huawei, BYD, etc. leading role of large enterprises contributed. BYD, according to data published its automotive operations in 100% of high growth for five consecutive years, based on the sales of the first half of 2009, a sharp rise again, soared 176% year on year, an increase of nearly 120% higher than the industry.

Iron battery

Study at home and abroad-iron battery has a high iron and lithium iron are two kinds of BYD-iron battery for the former, in addition to BYD is currently no other manufacturer outside the large-scale mass production and practical use. High-iron battery is the energy density, small size, light weight, long life, non-polluting new chemical batteries, with a high-energy high-capacity, rich in raw materials, green non-polluting and so distinct advantages.

A few years ago, BYD on the organization of R & D team of 500 people began the iron battery research and development research. After tens of thousands of trials and testing, successfully developed a dedicated iron battery electric car, named “ET-POWER”. It is BYD’s latest research results in the battery.

Apple has once again brought a new crisis in consumer electronics.

Jobs bring new again, Apple fans waiting, each time, Steve Jobs holding the hands of the product have been given Steve Jobs’s innovative spirit, giving people unlimited reverie, but this time not the same.

iPad appearance is a Tablet PC, just belongs to notebook category. However, it is extremely light weight, use the iPhone (mobile Internet) operating system, from the perspective of these characteristics, iPad seem to be in smart phones, e-books between the reader and the Internet present.

“From the features, product design, software and content terms, iPad fulfill all the promises,” iSuppli’s senior vice president of DaleFord said, “It is only 499 U.S. dollars initial price of the product even beyond expectations. However, due to iPad across multiple product areas, and its actual usage patterns have not yet been verified, it may be several quarters in the ship, we will know whether the product will revolutionize the industry, the impact of science and technology. ”

This suspicion is not without reason, the screen can be rotated, you can pen-based tablet PCs are nothing new, Dell, Lenovo, Acer Yang had already introduced such a computer, but not yet caused any reaction.

Today, only because it is Apple’s name?

Yes, if the iPod, iPhone, past record of any reference to meaning, consumers may still find their lives very difficult to leave the iPad.

However, such rules of the game is being broken.

Prior to the iPhone, people are concentrated in demand for mobile phone calls, send text messages, take pictures, listen to music, these “hard” indicators. Starting from the iPhone, people began to realize: the phone is now able to have so many day games and various related applications.

In theory, iPhone can be achieved visit www pages, but the traditional wired Internet access can not be applied mechanically moved to the phone, but also, 3,5-inch screen, still limit the integrity of the web page rendering, clever Jobs cleverly set up on the AppStore , “iPhone10 million applications can do almost anything.” iPhone in the advertisement boasts Road, these applications designed specifically for the iPhone, even though three years ago, iPhone is not a multiplicity of species, without changing the performance, but also to an increasing number of consumers willing to draw a good circle in Apple games , recreational pay. It now appears that the iPhone greatly reduced arcade sophisticated trend.

But along with wireless Internet matures, Jobs set up the closed rules are being challenged, bear the brunt of the challenger from Google, “i-Phone no real keyboard … … can not run multiple applications at the same time … … can not shoot 500 megapixel photos … … … … does not allow opening up and development is not interchangeable battery, “Google said in the advertisement, and at the end states,” iPhone can not do any thing, Android have done it. ”

In relation to Apple’s closed, Google is free and open to attract large crowds, Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said: “An-droid manufacturers using the number of really imminent explosive growth.”

Shenzhen mimic those highly talented cottage manufacturers crazy, and if the wireless Internet to everyone with open arms, why should we crowded in the AppStore a small world? No matter what Apple has developed products, these cottage manufacturers can keep pace with rapidly within 3 months.

The iPad is breaking its own restrictions on the small screen, 10-inch screen is the mainstream of the Internet in this configuration, it can always log on www to find anything you wanted, where there are 100,000 more than just applications.

Apple wanted to use iPad to inspire a new user behavior and the new usage patterns in order to try and create a new market, but we can see is likely to iPad and professional markets, where many existing products to compete, such as e-books , Tablet PC, and PMP/MP3 player.

Despite the future, because of the ubiquitous network, people need to jump between screens of different sizes, but the iPad would like a computer, cell phone, as a people’s “necessary”?

The iPad simple lines behind the technology of today’s Steve Jobs control, aesthetic vision, and marketing can be able to shine again?

Credit Suisse analyst Jonathan Chaplin (Jonathan Chaplin) Thursday, said Apple may not give up this year, with AT & T’s exclusive cooperation agreement.

Apple and AT & T’s iPhone exclusive cooperation agreement is expected to expire in June this year, the industry generally believe that Apple will be the end of an exclusive partnership and cooperation with Verizon.

However, Chaplin said Thursday, Apple continues to work with AT & T this year, the possibility of cooperation as high as 75%. This means that at least 2010 years, Apple has not been possible hand Verizon.

Chaplin said: “There is no definitive evidence that Apple and AT & T’s exclusive co-operation agreement will expire this year, this possibility is 50%. In addition, AT & T requested the possibility of renewal of 25%.”

Chaplin believed that if it continues to cooperate with the AT & T exclusive, in 2010 in the North American smart phone market, Apple’s share of 26% from 2009 down to 23%.

Chaplin is expected, Verizon is expected to get iPhone in mid-2011 mid-term contract.

Recently, the new leader Battery Co., Ltd. overcome technical difficulties, the invention of the world to fill gaps in the production of mercury free button batteries, the environmental protection in China and the world has made tremendous contributions.

As a farm producer, the battery industry in China in 1995, held the world production of over half of the battery. However, because of the battery prior to contain excessive levels of mercury, which we usually refer to the mercury, causing environmental pollution and poisoning, which makes security issues battery life stood out.

And because the VGP-BPS8 battery of a high frequency of use and universality, making the threat of mercury-containing batteries become more evident. It is reported that a micro-mercury alkaline button cells can be contaminated by water is 60 million liters of water is equivalent to the amount of a person’s life. Although in 1995 the United States and Europe have issued a ban on the sale of mercury-containing batteries with relevant and clearly defined, alkaline zinc-manganese batteries can not be added to the mercury content Mercury is more than 0.0005% of the total number of cells, but because the world has no technology can produce mercury free button batteries, button cells can not allow the mercury content is more than 2% of the total mass of the battery.

In other countries, more than a decade in Japan and the United States, Europe and other well known manufacturers of mercury-free batteries, mercury free button cell surprised by a large number of studies. However, there are technical problems are not resolved, there is no one company can successfully produce mercury-free alkaline button cell, resulting in the global market has been the use of mercury-containing button cell alkaline. Coin 1 billion each year by the production and use, so that China and the rest of the world, people still face the risk of mercury exposure.

The problem with the new Battery Co., Ltd Lida invention can be resolved. After years of research and development testing, the new head of R & D team in 2000, mastered the technical formula, success will be mercury-free alkaline button cells. October 3, 2002, the new head of Mercury “without alkaline button cells” patents for utility models successfully authorized. To avoid problems patent on foreign markets, the company synchronization back to the United States, Germany, Great Britain and other EU countries have asked for a patent number. However, the mercury of China road-free button batteries are quite bumpy. Over the years, as competitors have raised repeatedly reiterated the request is invalid, and no mercury button cell VGP-BPS10A batteries 10-year period of patent protection is about to expire, the ultimate fate of the concern of the patent.

China Battery Industry Association, said the mercury key industry free cell battery, the world is a “historical” of technological progress. With this technology for the first time addressed the problem of mercury in button cells, avoiding the appearance of the tragedy of mercury poisoning, therefore protecting the global environment has made a significant contribution. U. S. Natural Resources Environment Association also issued a letter to the Industrial Association of China battery, praised the newly developed non-Lida homage to protect the global environment cause the battery to make a major contribution .

Apple last week held large-scale staff meeting, CEO Steve Jobs said that Google should be the eradication of iPhone. According to Daring Fireball blog site, said Steve Jobs, then exactly is this “Google team to destroy us”, especially Google’s Android team.

Jobs may be in public, made the statement, because the content of the speech will certainly be compromised. Steve Jobs’s speech shows that Apple should be warned that Google and other companies, Apple intends to protect their iPhone, iPod, and iPad ecosystems, to prevent all of the intruders.

Maybe Steve Jobs two days before the release iPad taken note of the Google Chrome team of designers and engineers made an introduction of the Tablet PC using Chrome the operating system working principle of the image model. This device is a hypothetical “gPad”. If Google want to compete with Apple, Chrome and the Android operating system, the team will be the team to a direction. However, the fact is that every person in the computer industry are moving in this direction - the management of equipment, mobility and cloud computing.

Apple officials said that this is just one possible design is Chrome the operating system by supporting the Chromium open source software project development efforts put forward. Google spokesman said via e-mail, Google Chrome the operating system still under development. We are constantly experiment a variety of user interfaces in order to determine what design will produce the best user experience. As we have stated, the user interface is still under development and will continue to develop, because we have to determine which design best suited to our users.

Chrome hardware, operating system, will be available in the fourth quarter of 2010, the target time constant. Google released an image model of video display device that Chrome the operating system there are also some multi-touch interactive features, users can zoom in and out web pages using both hands. This is a very important function, because Android device has been the lack of this feature.

The world’s largest memory chip maker Samsung Electronics said on Monday, 30 nm DDR3 DRAM memory chips have been suitable for consumers to use, ready to be applied to products.

Samsung said, 2GB DDR3 memory chips, power consumption than using 50-nanometer manufacturing technology manufacturer of memory chips to reduce power consumption by 30% the cost of production efficiency more than doubled. Samsung used in notebook computers, desktop computers and servers, 2GB DDR3 memory chips to use only 1.5 V or 1.35 V power supply.

Business online memory chip market, according to the DRAMeXchange Technology, said, as DDR3 memory chips to reduce power consumption and provide the speed, DDR3 memory may be in the quarter, the product to replace its previous DDR2 memory. PC makers are actively promoting in notebook computers and servers use memory chips.

Using 30-nanometer manufacturing technology will enable Samsung to compete ahead of DRAM memory manufacturers. Samsung Electronics said its 30 nm DDR3 chips will be mass-produced in the second half of this year, and plans before the end of 2010, this new technology to most of the memory chip production.

Intel and Micron joint venture, IM Flash Technologies is a leading company in the Samsung, one of the few. The company is using 25-nanometer technology to produce flash memory chips. The company does not produce DRAM memory chips.

Samsung said that in the production of DDR3 memory chip, 30-nanometer technology than the older 40-nanometer technology, the production efficiency by 60%. Chip manufacturers generally will not provide immediate cost savings to the consumer, because they first need to introduce the technology needed to recover the large-scale investment.

He is a designer Lu Yi brings light emitting cells (lighting battery), using LED technology, it will be left completely torch in historical perspective: the structure is very simple in the traditional installation of a battery LED cathode through a link containing lines and switches connected to the anode, in general can still be used as a normal battery, but when necessary can be pressed into the ‘light switch, light.
 
Very practical design, Lu Yi, said the introduction of the LED light source with high efficiency in terms of a new battery or even able to provide 120 hours of lighting. Therefore, taking into account the design has not changed the basic structure of the battery and LED low-cost, light this battery issue still has commercial potential, at least, this can bring more people practice - each family, and not necessarily have flashlights, but it must be the battery.

With a base price of $499, the recently announced iPad isn’t exactly cheap. Most netbooks, smartphones, and other mobile computing devices available today can be picked up for significantly less. But for an Apple product, $499 ain’t bad. COO TIM Cook had previously indicated that he didn’t think the company could produce anything worthwhile in the netbook space (and he’s not a fan of traditional netbooks) for less than that price. So most pundits kind of expected the Apple A1008，A1012 Tablet to run $800 or more. As it turns out, the most expensive version of the iPad will run $829, and that’s for a model with 3G connectivity and 64GB of storage.

Anyway, long story short, that’s bad news for some of the companies that were hoping to put out their own tablets and market them as cheaper alternatives to the Apple Tablet. DigiTimes reports that Asus, MSI, and other would-be tablet makers were hoping to sell their products for 20% to 30% less than Apple’s. But that would have been a lot easier if the iPad cost $1000.

That doesn’t mean we won’t see some of the promised iPad competitors hit the streets later this year. But the profit margins are likely to be slimmer and we could see companies cutting some corners to keep costs down.

Of course, there have also been plenty of chip-makers promising that $200 tablets could hit the streets at some point. But I haven’t seen a manufacturer actually follow through on that promise yet, and my guess is that we’ll have to rely on telecom subsidies to bring tablet prices down to that point.

In the days leading up to Apple’s special event, the company released its most recent quarterly results, which it was proud to boast as being the all-time highest in revenue and profit.

Apple PA3191U-4BRS posted revenue of $15.68 billion and a net quarterly profit of $3.38 billion, or $3.67 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $11.88 billion and net quarterly profit of $2.26 billion, or $2.50 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 40.9 percent, up from 37.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 58 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

Apple sold 3.36 million Macintosh computers during the quarter, representing a 33 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter; sold 8.7 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 100 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter; and sold 21 million iPods during the quarter, representing an eight percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter.

“If you annualize our quarterly revenue, it’s surprising that Apple is now a $50+ billion company,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “The new products PA3284U-1BRS we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we’re really excited about.”

Stay tuned for coverage of Apple’s reveal of a new product at tomorrow’s event.

We only got a glimpse of Apple’s new iBooks app when CEO Steve Jobs demoed it at the January 27, 2010 Apple event in San Francisco. What we saw was a stylish, crisp-looking, colorful e-book reader and storefront that will run on Apple’s laptop battery forthcoming iPad. Since the iPad will share the content (and layout) of the App Store, iBooks should presumably be available for the iPhone and iPod Touch as well.

Steve Jobs hinted in Wednesday’s keynote that iBooks should be available later in the day, so we’ve got high hopes we’ll be able to give our hands-on take soon. In the meantime, here’s what we think so far.

As with other e-book readers (like Stanza,) iBooks will respond to the device’s accelerometer and switch between landscape and portrait modes. Its controls will disappear when unused, and a swipe (or tap on the left or right side of the screen) will cause the pages to turn. iBooks’ page turning looks smoother and more engaging than Stanza’s, with page corners digitally curling toward you as you advance, but this is hardly different behavior than what you’d find in other digital readers. IBooks will also include a progress bar to show how far you are along in a book, and you’ll be able to change the reader’s font size PA3191U-3BRS.

Stylistically, we already prefer iBooks to the bland Kindle app for iPhone, which shoots you to a Web page on Safari to browse for books.

We’re unsure yet about other specific features, such as bookmarking and annotating, and perhaps Web lookups for further context (but we’re speculating or just plain hoping here). However, we do know that iBooks will use the ePub standard. With books and textbooks from all five major book publishers slated to stock iBooks’ digital shelves (Penguin, Harper Collins, Simon and Schuster, MacMillan, and Hachette), it looks like the content should stack up against competing apps and electronic bookstores PA3191U-4BRS.
