Chapter 235: Plagiarizing Nokia phones
Soon, Henry signed an investment agreement with Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palmputing, and successfully became the owner of Palmputing!
Of course, Robert's wish also came true, and Henry took a photo with him and sent an autographed blessing!
In fact, Henry often takes photos with some celebrities from his past life, and he has a bit of a celebrity collecting fetish. ¢£, whenever I look at the many photos hanging on the wall, I still feel very emotional!
Palmputing did not publicize the investment.
Quietly enter the village, don't shoot a gun!
Apple is making Appleon, and it will be released in 1993, and what Palmputing needs to do is to be the first to release it and seize the momentum in the market!
There is a way to strike first, and those who come later are subject to others!
The reason why the first product of nbputing failed was not only due to its own problems, but also related to Apple's Appleon preemptive release! At that time, Appleon's release caused a lot of shock, and the response to this kind of product will not be so enthusiastic later!
Although Appleon failed, Apple finally got back a little capital, so it didn't lose too badly!
Nbputing was the first to launch the handheld computer, so it's unknown how much more Apple can sell! Appleon has a high cost and failed positioning. The listing price is $1,000, while the Palm PDA is only $300!
Which product the consumer prefers. Go without saying!
Under Henry's request, the palm handheld computer that palmputing company wants to do is as simple as possible, as light and convenient as possible, and even only four applications are established within the system: schedule management, phone book, to-do management, and notepad!
In addition, handheld computers generally have handwriting recognition function!
Jeff Hawkins is an amazing designer. In order to simplify the heavy burden of the handwriting recognition system, he invented the graffiti input method, which uses a new special simple pen method to input English, numbers, symbols, etc., so that everyone can input information efficiently and conveniently, and thus reduces the computing burden of the recognition system a lot. And graffiti brushwork is actually easy and fun to learn, and many users are still fond of this product because of this novelty!!
Through these two improvements, Palmputing's new products sold well, with one million units sold in 18 months. For the first time, it surpassed the best-selling record of color TV and video recorder in the history of electrical appliances!
NBPutting has established itself as a leader in PDA PDAs!
If Palmputing is the first to release such a product, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Apple!
Henry invests in Palmputing. First, it can speed up the pace of Apple's death, so that you can buy Apple as soon as possible, and second, you can compete with the Symbian system!
Kill two birds with one stone!
&nb has helped Apple design Appleon chips, so it's very experienced! The processor chips of Palmputing's handheld computers can be designed by Arm, which saves PalmPuting a lot of time!
I have to say. That's fate!
Apple met Henry, and it was indeed declining!
The first product from Palmputing. Henry named it "Palmpilot". Pilot itself means auxiliary, and here it is extended to a universal notepad, so that consumers can clearly know the role of the product when they look at the name of the product!
Jeff Hawkins' entire team has now moved to San Jose, California, while recruiting more talent. In terms of hardware, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will give the greatest help and cooperation, and the two sides will strengthen cooperation!
At this time, Bruce Down Levet Ventures called and asked if Palmputing wanted to invest, they were going to invest $500,000 and want to take 30% of the shares, obviously, this was impossible, Jeff Hawkins directly refused!
Thousands of companies are being founded in San Jose every day, hundreds are going bankrupt, and Palmputing is so unknown that no one will pay attention to it, and no one will think that this small company is going to work against Apple!!
Subsequently, Henry informed Tian Shuai and asked him to talk to Jeff Hawkins and add the iReader station txt novel reading function to it! In fact, PalmPilot is a universal notepad, reading txt files is its basic function, this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, which can enhance the competitiveness of the product itself! Therefore, there should be no problem with the cooperation between the two sides!
The PalmOS system, which is currently just under development, may only be applied to PDA in the first few years. After all, Symbian has been developing mobile phone systems for eleven years, and it is unrealistic for Palmos to try to compete with it from the beginning. Maybe after a few years of improvement and refinement, coupled with Henry's guidance, maybe you can compete with one of them, or even win the battle!
Henry is helping them design the shape of the mobile phone in the mobile phone department of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and Henry directly designed the Nokia 2110 mobile phone, a classic mobile phone produced by Nokia in 1994, which is Nokia's first mobile phone with sales of more than 20 million units, which instantly swept the world and made the world know the name of Nokia!!
Henry finished drawing the design and finished the shape design, and then said to the crowd: "This is the shape design of our first mobile phone!"
Everyone is accustomed to seeing Motorola's "Big Brother" mobile phone, and they like this small and exquisite mobile phone very much, and they keep praising this design is great!
Henry smiled: "In addition to the exterior design, I also brought a piece of music this time!"
"Chairman, do you know music and have composed a tune?!" Harrison said in amazement.
Henry made the impression of a genius, and a genius is a person with infinite creativity! When he heard Henry's words, his first reaction was that the music was composed by Henry. But in reality, he guessed wrong!
Henry shook his head and said, "Hehe, it's not! This piece is a hundred years old, from the grandevalse piece, a classical guitar track composed by Francisco-Tárrega in 1902!! I brought the iPod, the music is stored in it, you bring a stereo, I'll play it to you!"
Immediately, an employee brought in the stereo and wired it to the iPod. After that, a wonderful sound rang out!
The crowd listened and couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Chairman, is this song going to be the ringtone for our phones?" asked Harrison with a quick response!
"That's right," Henry nodded, "I think this song is very good, rhythmic and charming! I hope that in the future, when others listen to the ringtone, they will be able to associate it with our mobile phones!!"
In fact, this song is Nokia's most classic ringtone, which was released in 1994 together with the Nokia 2110 mobile phone! Nokia's classic ringtone later even became the logo of the Nokia brand, and can be recognized almost anywhere in the world!
And Henry also hopes that the same will be true for the mobile phones made by his company!
The so-called drama has to do a full set, and plagiarism is the same, you can't lose everything, you have to copy the whole set!
