Just yesterday after Apple has revealed its current profits in business, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO told the analysts in phone conversation that China is obviously a great market for Apple. Cook believes that Apple as a communication company has great future with the world’s most populated country.

During the briefing with some analysts, Cook made it open that Apple can boast of $5.7billion within some months as revenue from China alone almost the same revenue with the $7.5 billion the company has realized from Asia in general. Revenue from China now takes up to fifteen percent of Apple’s total sales. According to him, China has given the communication company the total revenue of $23.8 billion.

According to a reliable report given in August by HIS, a reputable analysis company, the Apple’s iPhone is found as the number seven in China among other affordable communication devices which are far ahead of the company’s iPhone. The report said that Android leads in the communication league with the total of eighty-one percent followed by Samsung which is 20.8 percent of China’s market. This denies iPhone the possibility of being the market leader in China.

Meanwhile, it is a truism that iPad is more popular in China. And China as a country has the credit of selling almost twenty-seven percent of Smartphone globally more than America which has only sixteen percent to her credit. However, Apple still believes that it will soon improve in the country.

It can still be remembered that Tim Cook went to China in March for an official business meeting with the Chinese government. With regard to that, just a week ago Apple made a public declaration of opening a fresh business store in Beijing. It is believed that the newly opened store is the Apple’s biggest store in the whole of Asia.

To show his optimism about the future of the company in China, Tim Cook sees light at the end of the tunnel with regard to the current progress of the company’s mass supply of its products unlike in October. Therefore, he sees the possibility that iPhone 5 will soon get into the hands Chinese customers.

At three hundred a pop, the new Motorola Driod Razr Maxx HD isn’t cheap, but as Motorola’s new flagship product, it makes a good first impression. The new larger screen, the great processing speed, 4g data, and great screen resolution is definitely a great improvement over the last version.

The screen is now 4.7 inches since the bottom row of buttons was removed. Instead there are virtual buttons along the bottom that serve the same purpose. A higher pixel count gives the new Razr a much sharper resolution. That paired with the new AMOLED screen technology for better brighter colors, casts a vivid contrast to the previous version. The new screen is great for movies and works well from multiple viewing angles.

The larger screen also allows for faster more accurate typing on the virtual keyboard. The new ability to switch over to a Swype keyboard even allows users to text with one hand by dragging their finger through letters to form words.

The only real downside is that it comes with the older android operating system. However, the makers have announced that they are going to make it upgradeable to the jelly bean OS. The apps are easy to access and use but the phone comes preloaded with Verizon programs that are not useful and just serve to clog up the works.

Perhaps the best thing about the new phone is the battery. It claims 32 hours of use, o12 hours of video streaming, pretty impressive for any mobile device. The battery is not user removable but with battery life like this, it will probably be a long time before it needs replacing.

All in all it’s a great new device, if pricy, but for a great screen and good speed it is worth extra cash.
