I attended the iPhone party organized by mobileradio.hk. Like I said on my previous post, I am not an iPhone user but I like to hang out with iPhone users.

They start off with some stats which they gathered. Need to give Kudos to mobileradio.hk team. Doing survey is not an easy task.

This is about how much will an iPhone user spend on Apps Store.

What type of stuff they usually buy at apps store.

The next talk was about how to set up foreign apps store account. I did not know apps store is countries centric. Now, I know.

This talk about an apps that exchange biz card that mobileradio.hk recommend.

Next, comes the break, before the break, they talk about google latitude but I did not take any pix because there was extensive media coverage on what google latitude is all about.

Everyone clamoring to take the picture of the cake.

This the second anniversary of mobileradio.hk. Happy Birthday… Not an easy task to maintain an internet radio at these trying times.

Want to make you iPhone look like this? Made by the DaSillyThink.

I like this one, too..

Took a shot at the atrium of Innocentre.

From the outside, Innocentre at Kowloon Tong.

I just read this article which according to the people at Gartner, Android OS will leapfrog Iphone by 2012.

Report: Android will leapfrog the iPhone by 2012

Watch out, iPhone—Android’s nipping at your heels.
Researchers at Gartner (via AppleInsider) are predicting that the global market share for Google’s Android mobile OS could overtake the iPhone’s in a little over two years, with Android poised to leapfrog Apple into the No. 2 spot.

That would leave the iPhone in the No. 3 position—right where it is now, behind BlackBerry and Nokia’s Symbian OS, according to Gartner. The industry researchers believe that by 2012, Research in Motion (the company behind the BlackBerry) will have lost 7 percent of its market share, causing it to slip into fifth place (behind even Windows Mobile). Android, meanwhile, will get a 12.9-percent boost to become the No. 2 smartphone platform in the world, with Symbian still safe in the No. 1 spot (with a dominating, although dwindling, 39 percent of the global market).

Those are just analyst predictions, of course, and two years is an eternity in the wireless world; after all, two years ago today, we were still getting used to the first iPhone.

I don’t know man…the people at Gartner must have know something that we don’t know or maybe there was pressure to churn out some reports to the public to bitch about.

I am not a Iphone or Android user. I am Window Mobile user. To say Android leapfrog Window Mobile would be a more sensible thing to say.

For me, I don’t see Android will leapfrog anyone for now.

Here is Why?

First, two kind of Iphone users. The apple geek (fiercely loyal to apple product) and the trend setter (it’s an IN thing to have an Iphone). These two group of users will carry Iphone a long way.

Second, China has not rolled the Iphone series, yet. Who knows, when it launch, everyone might clamor for Iphone. Places like malaysia, it’s a one month waiting list to subscribe Iphone and these people want to wait for it. I don’t see this happen to Android.

Third, I don’t see any ‘WOW’ factor about Android (maybe I said this to early). Further, I am not getting the developers vibes on wanting to develop apps for Android. Nowadays, everyone want to put their apps on Iphone store.

Would I be even wondering toward the Android world, probably not, I need my Metatrader(forex trading software) to work on Window Mobile. It’s more important than any other stuff.

At this moment, I equates Android to Qtopia. I know….

Anyway…Dream on Android…

I am thinking aloud.

We were bumming a Kwai Chung Plaza and my wife took me to one of the store that rent boxes to sell your wares.

These boxes are for rent. They charge a monthly rental between $450 hkd to $1200 hkd per box depending on the location. If you want it in the store front, the box price is higher.

If you don’t mind positioning you product way inside the store, the rental is much cheaper.

They told me the concept is not new. It’s very popular in Japan and they are adapting in Hong Kong. Well, I guess it does make sense in Hong Kong because the cost of rental is very high here.

If you have some self-design stuff, rather than put it in Yahoo auction, this might be another good avenue to do it.

I took a shot at their banner. You can check their site out at www.mybox.com.hk or another site(competitor) www.megaboxhk.com. There were 2 or 3 stores that doing the same concept. It so happen I came to this one and ask them about the prices.

Mid-autumn in Hong Kong. Last year, I choose to go to Tai Hang Dragon Dance but this year I choose to take some pictures at the piazza of Hong Kong Cultural Center. They were having some lantern exhibition over there.
