k10000

Debemos reconocer que a menudo los terminales que más nos entran por los ojos en cuanto a diseño y especificaciones no presumen de una cuantiosa batería en su interior y, queramos o no, a la larga es un aspecto que lastra nuestra experiencia. Por tanto, si esto ocurre debemos recurrir a las ya tan habituales baterías portátiles externas, las mismas que podemos cargar tanto por cable como de forma inalámbrica si nuestro terminal así lo permite.

Curiosamente existe un producto en el mercado que presume de contener una batería tan amplia como cualquier powerbank, siendo a la vez un terminal que para un usuario medio es más que suficiente para cualquier tarea. Hablamos del ya mencionado K10000 de la firma china OUKITEL, el mismo que si en algún momento le tenías puesta la mirada por un motivo u otro estás de suerte, ya que se encuentra de oferta en estos momentos.

Estas ofertas serán progresivas, ya que la compañía irá reduciendo el precio del terminal poco a poco hasta que quede en unos míseros 99 dólares, un coste realmente tentador tratándose de un dispositivo que es un completo terminal al uso y permite también la función de cargar tantos dispositivos como su batería de 10.000 mAh lo permita.

How Is First Solar’s Revenue And EBITDA Composition Expected To Change Over The Next 5 Years?

Posted on by

We expect First Solar’s systems business to play a slightly larger role in its revenue mix going forward, owing to an expanding pipeline overseas as well as the recent extension of the U.S. Solar Investment Tax Credit beyond 2016, which should bolster demand for utility scale solar projects. The international modules division will also grow, driven by demand from emerging markets.

How Much Revenue Can Facebook’s WhatsApp Generate In The Next Five Years?

Posted on by

Facebook recently announced that its messaging platform WhatsApp will no longer charge subscription fees and will be a completely free service for its users. The company now plans to introduce tools which will allow users to communicate with businesses via WhatsApp, thus making it the “go-to” app for several services. We believe this is in line with Facebook’s strategy to monetize a platform once it crosses the billion-user mark and use organic interactions between businesses and users as the first step toward monetization.

Is The Direct Sales Model Critical For Tesla Motors?

Posted on by

Tesla Motors is fighting a legal battle in Indiana against a legislation which prohibits direct sales to consumers. The company has faced similar hurdles to implement its direct sales models in several states in the U.S., as auto dealers are opposed to this model. While traditional automakers depend on their dealerships to stock inventory, provide after sales service and promote their financing schemes, Tesla’s focus on high-end, trail-blazing electric vehicles makes a direct sales model more desirable in cultivating sales and customer relationships. Since electric vehicles do not need as much regular service and the company does not offer financing schemes, a dealership model would put pressure on its margins. This is because it would need to ensure that franchises earn higher revenues from car sales. Electric and hybrid vehicles are projected to dominate the car market in future and a study by Google in 2013 suggests that they would account for nearly 90% of cars sold in 2030. Several traditional automakers including General Motors, Ford, Honda and Toyota Motors are increasing their focus on electric vehicles to capture this trend, thus questioning the unfair advantage to Tesla due to its unique selling model. Tesla currently operates in a niche space of luxury electric vehicles where new car sales are the primary source of profitability. Thus the direct selling model is key for the company to generate higher margins.
