| Pegasos to target different markets : Comment 14 of 51 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by cOrpse on 15-Aug-2002 14:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (Raquel and Bill):
"We did not invent these ideas. The market is sending a clear signal. Do what people already do, just do it better, more conveniently, and anywhere."
Its got nothing to do with function , feature or quality ... Bang for buck matters , the only people that care about what they're buying when purchasing a PDA , Computer , Cd player etc are the ones that know what they're doing inside out. Joe public looks for Label,Price and gimicks .. they don't give a rats arse if it supports advanced digital media , runs a super small footprint os or that its PPC.
"as the mobile telephone any different? Have you seen the DoCoMo phones lately? Did you know the largest ISP in Japan was a wireless ISP? 3G is happening there."
Japan's a different situation to rest of the world , they're very clued up on the real pro's and cons of electronic devices and not just the pro that this is shinny and half the price of the other.
In the UK and probaly US the mobile phone sales are mostly to teens , this means pay as you talk network services only so your lucky to get sms and voice let alone WAP or *advanced* features and it doesn't matter because the people spending the cash only care if its got snake and allows for cover changing.
And if you want to make money you have to learn its not about what you thinks cool because you have a knowledge of the subject .. You have to aim for those with money and in large groups ; that basically means not geeks or buiness men but the general public. |
