The US, Japan, UK, etc. media are reporting about Aiwa, Sony, and the Recording Industry Association of America suing each other.
After Sony found out they are being sued by the Recording Industry Association of America and that the list of websites is given to them by Aiwa's lawyer, they sued Aiwa again, claiming that Aiwa is trying to frame them.
So, the three companies sued each other, and each of them prepared a team of lawyers to fight the lawsuit in New York. The media are reporting about these three companies every day.
Every time, they would inevitably mention the MP3 player. MP3 players are becoming more and more popular.
When the lawsuit is still ongoing, Aiwa received news that Samsung is going to introduce the second generation of MP3 players. Sony, Panasonic, Diamond, and many other companies are also going to introduce their MP3 players. All these companies want to ride on this wave.
Heitaro Nakajima, Feng Yu, and Masao Kameda discussed and decided to bring forward the third generation of MP3 players. They want to let those companies know how much better their technologies are compared to Aiwa!
This product launch will be held in New York, and the lawsuit will be fought there.
… …
"Thank you, media and representatives, for attending Aiwa's product launch. Although some companies did not receive invitations, we still welcome you."
Heitaro Nakajima stood proudly on the stage. Look, our product launch is so successful. Many companies did not have invitations, but they still came to attend. They want to be the first to see our new product and learn from us!
"Everyone, please take a look. This is Aiwa's new product, named A3 MP3 player. This is our third generation MP3 player."
Heitaro Nakajima stood in front of a large screen and pointed at the product on the screen.
"Everyone can look at my hand. Here, this is the little guy. 10.3 centimeters long, 2.8 centimeters wide, and 3.2 centimeters thick. Using two alkaline No.7 batteries, it can continuously play for up to 10 hours."
Wow … …
The audience gasped in admiration. When they saw the pictures on the big screen, they could not see anything special about the MP3 player. But when they see Heitaro Nakajima's MP3 player on the big screen, they realized that this MP3 player is really small.
"This product is small, and it is the essence of portable music players. Also, there are many colors for the shell. We will use Aiwa's Fantasy series. Paired with our company's latest Magic Fantasy 8th Generation headphones, it will give you the best audio-visual enjoyment. "
"The storage capacity of this product is 512 megabytes. The storage capacity of each generation of our company's products is doubled. The first generation is 128 MB, the second generation is 256 MB, and the third generation is 512 MB. Also, we are using the most advanced flash memory technology to make the product more durable. "
"Everyone, look here. There's a small opening. It's connected to the data transmission line. The small end was connected to the MP3 player, and the large end was connected to the USB port, which was used to connect to the computer. We can download the MP3 audio to the computer and then transfer it to the MP3 player. We can also directly store it in the MP3 player. "
"Because our product has a capacity of 512 megabytes, this product has another function, which is that it can be used as a mobile information storage. You can store the company's documents here and then transfer them to another computer, such as your boss's computer, so that your boss doesn't have to keep you running around. "
The reporters and representatives from the various companies all laughed kindly.
"Everyone can look at this side. There's an LCD screen. Not only can it show the battery level, time, and song title. You think that's all? No. This screen can also display the lyrics at the same time. Everyone can look at this screen and sing along. You don't need to hold a piece of paper full of lyrics. "
Wow ~ ~ ~
The audience was even more shocked. Displaying the song title was nothing surprising. The previous portable music players, like CD players, could do this.
However, the lyrics displayed were complete and synchronized, which was very rare.
Many consumer electronics companies' representatives were praising AIWA in their hearts. No wonder AIWA dares to call itself the industry leader.
"Everyone, look at this button. Press this button, and it will switch to the next song. Press this button, and it will switch to the previous song. This button is for pause and start, and this button is for power off. These two buttons are for adjusting the volume. If you have Aiwa's mini speakers at home, you can connect it to the speakers and turn it into a stereo system that plays your favorite songs! "
Clap, clap, clap, clap ~ ~ ~
Everyone below the stage applauded from the bottom of their hearts. Most of them had looks of admiration on their faces, but there were also some who had looks of disappointment on their faces. There were even some who had looks of depression written all over their faces.
Damn! This AIWA's technologies are so much more advanced than us. We had just developed a 256 MB MP3 player, and they had released a 512 MB MP3 player. Diamond's representative was disappointed. Can they catch up with AIWA? AIWA is one of the world's leading portable music players, and they only produce music-related consumer electronics.
Samsung Group's Wen Liushi also had a disappointed look on his face. Samsung Group had invested a lot into this subsidiary of his to let them have more funds to develop their technologies. But now, despite spending a lot of money, their products are still far behind Aiwa. At least in terms of size, their products are much bigger than Aiwa's products, and they are not portable.
Sigh. If only Samsung Group had not restructured, and South Korea did not face the financial crisis, they would have invested more in their products. They might not be better than AIWA's products now, but they should be about the same.
But Wen Liushi was impressed by AIWA's product designers. How did they come up with these features? Also, how did they implement these features?
Sony's representative and Panasonic's representative looked at each other and felt bitter in their mouths. When AIWA introduced their first MP3 player, they had started to develop it. They thought with their technologies, they will catch up with AIWA soon. After all, AIWA's MP3 player is different from Walkman and CD players. It is more of an electronic product and not a home appliance.
But reality gave them a slap in their faces. AIWA's electronic product development had overtaken them.
"Mr. Yanagi, how much is the retail price of this MP3 player called A3?"
"It includes an MP3 player, a pair of our Magic 8 generation headphones, two Tai Hua alkaline batteries, a data cable, and an unlimited monthly subscription to AIWA's music website. The retail price is 199 USD!"
Sony's representative and the other companies' representatives felt even more bitter. So many things and such a good product, but the retail price is only 199 USD. Compared to AIWA, their products are not competitive at all. Are they destined to fail?
