Rhapsody announces plans to acquire Napster

October 4th, 2011

Internet music subscription giant Rhapsody appears to be set to acquire the Notorious Napster. In case you don’t remember, Napster was one of the first companies to challenge the traditional music industry and how music was consumed over the Internet. Once a peer-to-peer music sharing network, Napster has evolved to be a full fledged music subscription service owned and operated by Best Buy. Details of the agreement are not finalized but it is reported that Rhapsody with acquire all of Napsters’ subscribers as well as some other assets. In exchange Best Buy will become a minority stakeholder in Rhapsody."rhapsody"

Completion of the deal will bring together two of the largest online music subscriptions services and put them under one umbrella virtually making them one of the biggest companies in the industry for music subscriptions. Consider this deal a must if they want to compete with the other giants in the industry such as iTunes for SIM Free iPhone 4, Android marketplace, Amazon, and others. It will allow them to offer more value to their existing clients and increase their chances of getting new ones. The clear cut winner has yet to be defined in the space and this is a step in the right direction if they want to keep pace with the others."napster"

Expect the deal to officially happen by the end of the year with November 30th, 2001 being their target date. We’ve seen these types of deals fall through in the past. With others hearing about the possible merger, they may try and get in on the action and buy Napster as well. This may end up being a classic bidding war situation where the winner will surely be Best Buy who owns Napster. This is actually standard when two industry giants attempt to do a merger of subscribers and services.

Slowed Production Means Doom for BlackBerry PlayBook

September 26th, 2011

"RIM BlackBerry Logo"The Blackberry Playbook was supposed to be one of the redeeming devices for Research In Motion. They were really counting on being able to enter the tablet market such as SIM Free Motorola Xoom Tablet, with the release of their device, but I’ve not seen any profits that they expected with it. They have a non-able to garner the market share that they were looking for when they decided to originally create the device. It has been mostly a failure for the company. Following the second-quarter earnings report, which stated that a total of 200,000 playbooks were sold that order, it is clear that the company is looking elsewhere to other strategies in order to come back to prominence."Blackberry-playbook"

This comes on the heels of the news that their stock and get to the lowest point that it’d been in the last five years. That just goes to show that the company has been in dire straits for quite some time, as evidenced by the layoffs that they have been forced to do over the course of the last few years. The BlackBerry PlayBook was expected to be a very highly powered tablet for the company, but has mostly managed to fade into obscurity so far. It will be interesting to see if the company is able to make any sort of comeback in this situation.

Research In Motion has seemingly employed a number of new strategies in hopes of being able to get back to their former self. At one point they were able to put together one of the better lineups of Blackberry devices that many users thought were cool and earned them a great reputation in the mobile industry such as SIM Free BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900, since that time, they’ve seen their market share fall in the number of the devices that they have released a seemingly flopped. It will be interesting to see what changes are made.

Apple Satisfies Customers According to New Survey, RIM and Nokia Do Not

September 13th, 2011

Customer satisfaction plays a huge role within the mobile industry. The company is unable to keep their customers happy; you can bet that they will be quickly losing those same customers at the end of their contract. A recent survey that was conducted by JD power and Associates has confirmed what many have already thought – that Apple is going to be leaving the top of the list in terms of customer satisfaction. On a scale of 850, 838 points as the amount that Apple received atop the list in terms of customer satisfaction. They were followed by HTC, with a customer satisfaction survey rating of 801. The industry average of all companies combined 778. The 750+ range was filled with Samsung, Motorola, RIM, which is a much lower score at 762 then you would’ve thought that they would’ve received, LG, Palm, and the lowest was Nokia with a score of 721."JD power and Associates "

The company is able to ship the smartest phones it is also able to garner the highest overall satisfaction rating among their users. This is big news for Apple, as JD power and Associates is a company that is known for providing top-of-the-line data regarding customer satisfaction.

"apple"It has become clear, as Nokia has fallen from having the largest market share in the mobile industry, and now has, according to the survey, the lowest overall level of customer satisfaction, that they have been unable to keep up with the changes within the mobile industry. The company for the longest time have the largest amount of users using their devices, but recently fell farther down the list it will certainly be interesting to see how these companies toward the bottom of the list, most notably Nokia and Research In Motion respond to the fact that their customers have not been satisfied or some of the other leaders in the industry.
