Cupertino, U.S., April 17, 2009 – ExtendLogic, an leading IT outsourcing and consulting services provider known for its reliable, high-quality and cost-effective software development, localization and R&D outsourcing services in fields of mobile(iPhone, Android, Mobile backend), rich media and enterprise applications, has successfully held the event of Apple iPhone China Market Opportunities at Apple Headquarter by collaborating with IMUG (International Mac User Group) on 16th, April 2009.
Rumor has it the iPhone will launch in China in this May. Based on the close relationships with Chinese carriers and experience of localizing for the Chinese market, David Cao, the CEO of ExtendLogic addressed an overview of the major players in the carrier space, consumers’ behavior in China and how U.S. developers and companies catch the China Market opportunities.
“Both China Mobile and China Unicom are going to make a heavy investment to build up its base stations and extend the 3G coverage through the country. Consumers in China are hot on Text Messaging and free game downloading, so selling the applications through the operator deck is the primary way to make money in current phase.” David Cao said.
From his speech, we learnt that although operators are now moving to the content by building own music service or subsidiaries to operate as SP to squeeze profitability of SPs, 3G in China still facing lots of challenges such as no killer applications, operators are not ready yet and lack of 3G content and so forth. However, the market will be changed more or less if iPhone can be formally introduced into China Market. So for iPhone developers, they can make money in China market by selling the download, providing free app with built-in advertisement, sharing the profit by licensing, or selling your app to content providers by one time. Developers or firms can create apps by themselves to target the China market, or licensing out, and of course choosing a partner who is familiar with China and China consumers’ behaviors to develop or localize their apps is also a good choice.
“ExtendLogic is now providing the package to help U.S. developers or firm entry into China market. With China-based iPhone development team, extendlogic can help you on app development, localization, marketing your app in China and porting between other platforms to iPhone.” David Cao added.
After David’s presentation, Danica Brinton addressed more about localization for iPhone as Danica and her localization agency LocLabs, have been involved in the localization of iPhone and production of iPhone-related marketing media into 18 languages for the past 2 years.
In her presentation, Danica shared some of her surprising discoveries around global adoption and new market opportunities for mobile applications and games. She also showed new localization models and user-engagement strategies particularly suitable for these new territories and the iPhone platform.
“Both art and engineering are involved into localization. It is not just simply translating one language to another, but to make the app accommodate to consumers’ behaviors in different regions.” Danica said.
Over 60 people attended this event and most of them believe that China will be a very important market for iPhone application developers and firms in the near future.

With the approaching of iPhone in China at may 17, the china market itself had draw more attention. For ExtendLogic, partnership with local companies to enter China market is the right strategy, at same time, offering services for US iPhone publisher to enter china is something worth to try.

Android has big hope in competing with iPhone in China, where local carriers want more control. But I don’t think Anroid can catch up iPhone in US.

Of cause, those one million folks in China who have jailbreak iPhones will not download from the Apple app store. But where?
What I found out, lots of people are using an desktop tool to download illegal copies of English iPhone apps.
Here is an new idea: the competitor or App Store.

As the result, making money by selling games and small apps in China will face a challenge. ExtendLogic’s interest is to help app publishers to release their IPs free with embedded ads in it. The questions is, can it make enough money from the ads? Maybe not a big money for lots of developers, but better than nothing.

Amazon released Kindle for iPhone Tuesday night. I had been doubting about Amazon book
reader’s competitiveness again large screen mobile devices like iPhone for a while, especially for international marketing like Brazil, china. With the Kindle software at iPhone, I don’t see any where Amazon’s device can reach into a mass market.
Details about Kindle for iPhone check here.

As a multinational iPhone consulting service provider, with our China subsidiary KnowledgeSurf’s moble division, ExtendLogic had determined to catch the opportunites associated with in iPhone China.
My trip to China had been confirmed to next week. I believe meeting with China Unicom, as well as SPs in China will ensure we move quickly with the right direction.

Recently, ExtendLogic Marketing Team is inputting its efforts to continue the search engine marketing campaign for our IT outsourcing and consulting business; especially for iPhone development business because iPhone app development is a hotspot in U.S. and iPhone will be formally released in China market soon. Since I am in charge of marketing tasks, I’ve spent some time to analyze how to write an efficient landing page these days and I would like to share some of my thoughts with all of you.
Basically, the purpose of landing page is to convert the clicks into inquiries. All the messages on the landing page are made to convince customers that you are the right partner for them to extend their business and leave their contact information by filling in the ”contact us” form.
So, the content is the most important segment for landing page. I would like to take our iPhone landing page as an example to explain my thoughts.
I believe that the time for all business men who visit our website are very valuable and nobody want to spend too much time to read a long story. So we need to state everything in short. Simply list what we can do on iPhone, highlight what client can benefit from it (cost-effective as our delivery centers in China) without too many fancy words, show visitors what iPhone app we have done.
No need to use too many fantastic iPhone pictures, instead of that, we should use 1-2 screenshots of our previous iPhone project, which is considered as the best way to prove our iPhone capability.
Provide visitors the inquiry form on landing page so that they can get everything done one-stop. I think it is very important to protect users’ privacy, so let users know that their privacy information will never be disclosed to others and we will not be sending SPAM to them. But you can ask them whether they want to receive our newsletters about iPhone in the future.
Make the landing page be highly relevant to PPC keywords. For example, one keyword we used for iPhone PPC is “iPhone China”, then “iPhone” and “China” should be shown on our iPhone landing page and the content should be addressed about doing iPhone business in China OR with China team. That will let user has a feeling of they are at the right place for what they look for.
Express your appreciation for their visits and inquiries. Let them know when and who from your firm will get back to them.
The main point is that to make everything as simple as possible, but don’t forget to follow up!
Please refer to our iPhone landing page http://www.extendlogic.com/IndustrySolutions/iPhone and share your thoughts with me.
