Neglects BlackBerry sales in Japan

Sometimes you need to make certain sacrifices to later reap greater benefits. The smartphone market is a very competitive and companies that do not want to be left behind must take steps to stay ahead. While BlackBerry is not among the top vendors in the world, his ideas are more than clear, which is why they have recently adopted a new business strategy: according to the Nikkei news agency, the corporation is unable to justify the system conversion BlackBerry OS 10 to Japanese language simply because there is a number of users large enough to be worth doing. What does this mean? BlackBerry smartphones that 10 is not sold in Japan from now on, so the Country of the Rising Sun and can dismiss the Z10 and Q10.

If we look at it from the point of view of business, this is a strategy that makes sense. A BlackBerry is doing very well with sales in the UK and Canada, but Japan has always been a market in which these devices were not very popular, reaching market shares of 5% at its peak a few years ago.

Given this, I think it is also likely that the company stop selling BlackBerry smartphones 10 in other countries if you think necessary.

Coin Amazon presents its new currency

Amazon is the biggest online store in the world and undoubtedly has a big slice of the e-commerce market, so it makes sense that they have decided to launch its own currency, which is known simply as Coin. It is a virtual currency that consumers can use to buy apps and games on the line from one of the company's tablet, the Kindle Fire.

The Coin launch will occur in May and it seems to only be available for the United States. Amazon plans to launch an equivalent Coins $ 10 million to promote its new virtual currency. This does not mean that consumers will be forced to use it. Those who want to keep paying using traditional methods can do.

Storage capacity is not yet released, but it seems that the games will be sold on Blu-ray 50GB. Also is also expected to go on sale a new and improved with future Kinect Xbox.

Anyway, I still need to mention the bad part of all this. According to the report, the console will need an Internet connection to work, so we could go and discarding used video games. The new games will have an activation code, thanks to which a copy of a video game can only be used by the initial users. If this proves to be true, you can no longer play games previously used on another console.
