Design and Display

Compared to iPhone 3G, 900 DTC body more bongsor. On the bottom of the screen, navigation (including the middle button) stand out. A number of buttons and ports on the side of the body were different. The most obvious is the lack of volume buttons. DTC 900 is also fully rely on the touch screen (touchscreen) as input.

Home main screen on the iPhone 3G could touch-screen slider to another home. Composition icon in the screen can be moved and changed. However, not so with the DTC 900; home screen as well as its permanent icon.

DTC also has a motion sensor; settings in the Settings> Phone setup> Motion sensors. This motion sensor such as used to play games on Dice, or shake the phone to change songs in Music.

The maximum image size 640x480. To enter the settings menu, just tap the icon display boxes stacked on the left of the screen. But most of the settings can also be set from the icon on display in the screen. EV and zoom, for example, can be set from the icon on the left of the screen.

Similarly, for photographing; live "push" the camera icon in the bottom of the screen. Do not squeeze the middle navigation, because it actually will make us get out of the application. Left-right navigation is also used to adjust the EV, while the top-down navigation will set the zoom.

DTC does not set the video recorder resolution options. Video is playing in the video player could still be photographed; "push" just a camera icon in the bottom of the screen.

Apple on track to sell 2.7 million Macs in Q4

Based on U.S. retail sales data released Monday afternoon by the NPD Group, Apple (AAPL) is on track to sell 2.7 to 2.8 million Macs and 9.5 to 10.5 million iPods in its fourth fiscal quarter, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.

Mac unit sales came in up 2% year over year in July, which according to Munster implies 3% to 7% growth for the quarter that ends in September — roughly in line with the Street's expectation of 5%.

"With just one month of data," writes Munster, "it is way too early to make a call on the quarter given ~50% of Mac sales in the quarter typically happen in the month of Sept."

He adds that international sales are growing faster than domestic for both Macs and iPods, which is why he expects reported sales to be slightly higher than NPD's numbers would suggest. He also notes that July 2008 was a particularly good month for the Mac, with unit sales up 43% over July '07, so achieving 2% growth over that is no mean feat. The next two months should be easier in terms of showing year-over-year growth.

Things aren't looking quite so rosy for the iPod.
iPod unit sales were down 17% year over year in July, according to NPD, which is worse than Muster expected.
But once again, Munster notes that international sales are growing faster than domestic. He also expects a "reacceleration" in September thanks to Apple's back-to-school promotion, which offers a free iPod with the purchase of any (discounted) Mac. Bottom line: Munster expects Apple to end the quarter with iPod unit sales down 5% to 14% year-to-year, roughly in line with the Street's expectations (-10%).

One final data point: the average selling price for Macs in July was down 4% from the previous month, according to NPD. That's a lot better than the rest of the industry, which has seen ASPs plummet thanks to the growing popularity of netbooks selling in the $399 to $499 range. Muster's model calls for ASPs to drop 6% quarter over quarter.

No.1 in Japan is apple's iphone

The iPhone, which has had a tough time competing in the Japanese market, finally broke through in July with the launch of the iPhone 3GS.

According to a report in Electronista, market data from Gfk Japan shows the 32 GB iPhone in the No. 1 spot for July, ahead of Japanese-made phones from Sharp, Panasonic (PC), NEC, Casio and Sony Ericsson (a Japanese/Swedish joint venture).
The 16 GB model came in at No. 9, ahead of the Sharp SH001.

A earlier report from the market research company BCN showing the two iPhone models occupying the No. 1 and No. 2 spots for the week of June 22 to 28 was discounted because that was the week Apple (AAPL) launched the 3GS in Japan.
That the 32 GB iPhone ended the month of July in first place is harder to dismiss as a transient, opening day phenomenon.
