New Devices from Apple and Google

Apple and Google will see to it that the entire world of electronic media remains connected and flooded with new, exclusive and high-tech gadgets and devices from their workshop, virtually everyday. And why shouldn’t they?? When there is so much demand for such devices as Apple's latest Tablet, and Goggle’s nexus one??

These devices have made the life easy and comfortable for a top-class CEO as well as an under-graduate at the university. It’s almost tough to imagine the world without these gizmos. Google's latest Nexus One, Super Smart Phone does more than merely boast of the technical applications of its Operating System, Android or the invincibility of Google's search engine. It’s going to change the super phone scenario by enabling the consumers to buy one, independent of any telephone or network carrier.

Apple's Tablet will give Amazon's Kindle a real run for its money and market sales. The 'Kindle' which has been the in-thing is an electronic e-book reader which has ushered in an era of readers who prefer the electronic content to the printed one now. Tablet will soon replace Kindle, atleast this is what the grapevine says. Tablet will provide an easy, low cost and high-end medium to read e-books, digital newspapers, magazines, journals. Virtually anything, even while one is on the move. It is lightweight and very much portable.

All eyes would be set on it when Apple launches it in March 2010. Interestingly, it is also being said that Google's Nexus One will overtake iPhone and other smart phones in the market in terms of sales. Now that is nothing less than a digital war and ultimately it’s the consumer who stands to benefit the most from it all.

Business firms watch out for the top e-commerce marketing trends in the year 2010.

Roundarch that designs and implements the digital marketing strategies of Fortune 500 companies has predicted a set of five digital trends that will be responsible for the increase in the sales of a company's products. It is upto these business firms as to how effectively they shape and implement their marketing strategies according to the trends forecasted.

After the advent of e-commerce, the time has for the growth and success of m-commerce that is mobile commerce as more and more people over the world are making everyday transactions through the commercial application loaded on their mobile phones. So a company has to make provisions for mobile transactions with the necessary software in place and on the web that will enable a customer to buy its products.

Another digital device that has emerged last year is the electronic book reader which is a compact and portable device that avid readers like you and I use to read electronic text while on the move. Some of these devices have Wi Fi capabilities also where the direct content from the net can be downloaded. Companies can now design ads that can be displayed on these readers, as an inbuilt part of an e-book or electronic journal or any such resource. This will ensure enhanced visibility to the products by a company.

Cloud computing is another IT domain that can be used by a company to its fullest advantage in order to promote its products. Already it is being used in the automobiles and the electronics industry for providing certain high-end services. Last but not the least, a firm cannot deny the importance of behavioral targeting in its overall marketing strategy in the electronic media. A company has to please its customers and for that has to keep a track of all their browsing activities such as the sites they visit, searches they make, the kind of ads they respond to, etc. This way they will be able to provide them with better service and product knowledge.
