Sunny held a press conference to announce the launch of their new prs500. This new product launch was hosted by Norio Ohga himself.
At the press conference, Norio Ohga gave an impassioned speech, promoting how excellent their product is, how easy it is to use, etc. And for this product, they also specially developed the bbeb e-book format. You only need to synchronize the software installed on your PC to import the e-book.
And their product has a 4-level grayscale six-inch e-ink screen, a resolution of 800*600, less than twenty buttons on the entire body, a weight of only 250 grams, and a storage space of 64m, which can support Their TF card expansion, power can turn 7500 pages continuously...
The price is $350, which is slightly lower than the previous generation, and the product has been fully upgraded.
At the end of the press conference, Norio Ohga thought that everyone should come to inquire about relevant product details, but he found that something seemed not right. Why did everyone leave
He asked a reporter from a media affiliated with Sunny and found out that aiwa had also held a press conference to launch e-books.
What? When did aiwa say it would make electronic paper books? Didn’t it mean that there are only Fengyu Electronics and Amazon
Norio Ohga sent one of his men to go to aiwa's press conference to find out what the other party's products were like. Why was it such a coincidence that it was released on the same day as their products
This is obviously intentional!
He himself immediately browsed the Internet to see if Amazon, Fengyu Electronics, etc. had also launched e-paper books, or whether this was the success of aiwa's own research.
When I looked at the news, I found out that Fengyu Electronics, Aiwa Electronics, Amazon, aiwa, etc. released e-paper books almost at the same time, and companies such as Philips and Thomson acted as consignment companies for these products to help them sell e-books in Europe. Regional sales.
Norio Ohga was very angry. They also chose to release new products today, just for Sini. However, he is not worried. Sunny has relevant development experience, and the product appearance design is excellent and the function is also very powerful.
Besides, this is the press conference held by Sunny first. Maybe the products of those companies haven't been produced yet, just to attract attention.
In short, Sunny will not lose this time!
Hajime Yagyu stood on the stage with a glowing face, showing off their new products to the media and fellow representatives below.
The body size is smaller than that of Sini, but the screen is the same size, and the resolution, gray scale, etc. are also exactly the same. However, they placed the numeric buttons on the side, and there are only five function keys below, and there are only ten buttons on the whole body, making it more concise.
But when it comes to operation and demonstration, it is even better than Sunny's. For example, the page turning speed is faster, the battery supports continuous page turning of 10,000 pages, and it supports almost all mainstream electronic document formats.
The body is thinner, and the length and width dimensions are smaller than those of Sini, making this book smaller.
Sini's products only come in two colors, white and black. Although these two colors look good, many guests still exclaimed when aiwa once again showed a variety of color housings.
The red one is beautiful, and the pink one is also good. And the silver one is also very shiny.
What else did they see? There was an island country’s flag pattern on the back of the fuselage. Does this mean that this product is only sold in island countries
This makes more people feel that it should be praised. We island country people use e-paper books with the island country’s flag printed on them.
They also heard a very important point. This electronic paper book actually supports a voice reading function. Although it sounds like this reading has no emotion and is very mechanical, it is also very advanced.
Hajime Yagyu immediately told them the good news that their aiwa online music store department had separated into another department, that is, online e-book downloads, with more e-book selections. The current number exceeds 100,000, and Still increasing rapidly.
The most important thing is that there are also books read by well-known voice actors, so you can truly listen to the books immersively. aiwa's sound quality technology ensures the most authentic reproduction of sound.
Listening to books, this product from aiwa can actually listen to books! Not that cold electronic sound!
But if I download this version, will the memory capacity be too small
Only then did they discover that aiwa's memory capacity is available in 128m and 256m versions, which is much larger than Sini's products. It also supports SD card expansion, which can solve this concern.
In terms of price, the 128m model is only $379, and the 256m model is only $399. This point is much higher than that of Suini.
The most important thing about this product is that it can support wireless networks. It can not only connect to wifi, but also has a built-in wireless network card. You can directly use electronic paper books to log into aiwa's e-book online store and download them with one click, which is very convenient. .
This eliminates the need for a PC and allows you to download books you are interested in, and you can download them anytime and anywhere, which is so convenient.
After this product appeared, everyone discovered that Sunny’s electronic paper books were simply garbage!
Originally, Sunny was preparing to welcome a buying frenzy from customers after the press conference. However, Sunny found that there seemed to be not many customers inquiring about and buying their products.
They have prepared 100,000 units in the island country alone, and another 400,000 units in the European and American markets. They originally thought they would be sold out by the end of this year.
But what's going on? Why don't many people pay attention? Is it because the press conference is not big enough, or is it because everyone hasn’t seen the news yet
Of course not, everyone has seen the news about the release of Sunny's new products, but when aiwa and other electronic paper books were also announced, comparisons between the two products immediately appeared on the Internet.
From the appearance point of view, aiwa and others win!
From a performance point of view, aiwa and others win!
In terms of content provision, aiwa and others are a clear winner!
Except for price, it seems that Sunny has no advantages. This time, the level has been raised, and it seems that Suini's products are extremely low!
Sunny has always been synonymous with advanced electronic consumer products, but now it has suddenly fallen to this.
The aiwa store not far from the Sini store was crowded with consumers. Many people are very interested in this electronic paper book.
aiwa company is right, with this, it is equivalent to having a mobile library. Whether it is used to read novels or professional books, it is much more convenient.
So Sini's store employees looked at the booming sales at aiwa, but they themselves were too busy to worry about it.
Norio Ohga closed the computer, and he discovered that this time, Sunny actually lost again!
Impossible, how could the powerful Suini fail again and again? Upgrade, the product must be upgraded immediately to regain the market!
