The largest e-commerce website already operates indirectly in Brazil but the formal entry is more difficult with direct competition from the likes of MercadoLibre Amazon.com, the largest book sellers in the world, were inspired by the great Amazon river and the surrounding forest in Brazil. And Jeff Bezos took the company to dazzling heights were […]
“Amazon is looking at Brazil as a future growth market,” said S&P Capital IQ analyst Michael Souers. “But the way of doing business in Brazil is different than here. There are complications, delays.” MercadoLibre, whose literal meaning is FreeMarket, has the benefit of being the first entrant in the market. It covers almost 550 million […]
The future of TV, movies, and home entertainment feels like it’s changing by the day, thanks to the impact of the digital revolution. Netflix is the top dog thanks to its $8 subscription streaming service, but your viewing choices are severely limited. For a la carte, pay-as-you-go services, Apple’s iTunes has been the default choice […]
I searched for the films of David Cronenberg and David Lynch (always a test I like to run because their catalogs are hard to come by), and found 9 Cronenberg movies on Amazon Video, and 10 on iTunes. (all were the same except for “Existenz,” which was iTunes-only). I found 5 films directed by David […]
So far as we know, TV and movie studios set the prices on their content, so most Apple and Amazon pricing should be identical. But Amazon seems to offer lower prices on many titles, presumably eating the difference as an inducement to get more business. Amazon also only offers movies in HD, so there’s a […]
iOS Apple’s iTunes only works on Apple devices, or on PCs running iTunes. That’s no surprise. You’d need an Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, or Mac to watch what you’ve purchased. On iOS devices, you’ll need to download your purchase or rental before watching — streaming is not an option. Meanwhile, on Amazon’s new […]
Apple still reigns over the tablet market even in the presence of big conglomerates like Samsung and Amazon. The second calendar quarter earnings report from IDC ranks Apple at the top with Samsung and Amazon following in second and third position, respectively. The Taiwanese companies Asus and Acer are at 4th and 5th position. According […]
To the surprise of the technology lovers, Microsoft has just confirmed that Windows 8 will be available on October 26, like the Surface RT, ARM processor version of its hybrid half tablet laptop. However, the users will have to wait for a while before they see what manufacturers fall into that first wave and, above all, […]
It has been almost a month since the official release of Google’s own first tablet, Nexus 7. The 7-inch device, as obvious from the name, is a slick and simple slate that has the latest hardware and software with a dirt-low price tag. That maybe one of the reasons why its 16 GB version is […]
Another reason, and perhaps the major reason is the device’s features. It has a Tegra 3 quad-core processor with 2 GB of RAM and a 16-core GPU, that even jumps farther than the new iPad. It is also a thinner device, especially thinner than Amazon’s Kindle Fire and Barnes and Noble’s Nook Tablet that fall […]
As it was expected, the new Google device has set the precedence of new standards for 7-inch tablets. Before the launch of Google Nexus 7, the 7 inchers were taken for casual work, web browsing or keen reading at the most. But the Google device has now pushed other OEMs to take this market segment […]
Barnes and Noble did some basic check on the sales and overcame some of the fierce competition factors. For a start, it had Bluetooth and expandable memory option. Yet , the company could not keep up with competition on the price front. It was still 50 bucks expensive than the Fire. To aggravate the competition […]
