Haven't you dreamed about being Sam Witwicky and with your hot girlfriend like Megan Fox, fighting against Megatron? If so, you'd better have a car just like that first. GM Korea showed Chevolet Camaro to the public on the 18th and you can actually purchase one for yourself in March. Camaro was the best selling sports car in the states in 2010 and the official number of sales is 81,299. Also the New York International Auto Show picked it as "World Car Design of the Year". The price tag says KRW 47 million (USD 42,200) and the special Bumblebee package of Yellow Camaro will be KRW 48 million(USD 43,100). It is a little bit pricey compared to other imported cars with similar functions but if you are someone who always wants something special, Camaro has got the full package. Tranformers won't be just in your dreams.

At the end of this month, Google's reference phone of its new Android OS version known as Gingerbread, Nexus S is coming to SKT and KT customers. Nexus S is manufactured by Samsung Electronics and its the sequel of Google's pure Android smartphone - Nexus One. It uses a 'curved' 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, and has unique functions like m-VoIP (Google Voice) and NFC (short distance mobile payment system). It also has a front camera so you can make some video chats too! So, whether you are a subscriber of SKT or KT, you can get this bad boy..exciting, isn't it?

Research In Motion's BlackBerry Torch 9800, that's what I am talking about. Torch 9800 has a big screen and a sliding keypad instead of its traditional bar design. However, I have a hugh doubt about its success in Korea. BlackBerry requires a ridiculous contract plan in here, and when your device has a problem, they don't fix it here but they send it to Hong Kong and it takes like forever. I hope they could do something about that. Korea's smartphone market is one of the fastest-growing ones in the world and I know that they don't want to miss their chance. More Than Just a Chunky Metal Box - Sarotech's New External Drive Is Getting Good Market Reactions2/12/2011 Don't you ever feel that your external hard drive is amazingly useful but it is quite ugly and it doesn't really go with your laptop or desk? A local external drive manufacturer, Sarotech has the answer for that. Their 'Flora Christian' designed by a French artist Christian Voltz is showing a strong sales. Flora Christian used illustrations from Christian's illustrated album 'The Most Brilliant Book I've Ever Read' which was published in South Korea. The facial expressions of the dwarfs are humorous and on the right side, it says "The other three dwarfs will be drawn later", that's the cutest. You can choose between 500GB, 640GB and 750 GB. So, isn't it pretty enough to make you smile and feel satisfied? Samsung's smartphone 'Wave 2' has been released in the Korean domestic market from the 7th. Wave 2 carries Samsung's original mobile OS called Bada (it means "sea" in Korean). One of its features is that the size of its icons is much bigger than that of icons in Android devices or iPhone. Another feature is Social Hub, which was developed by Samsung. You can manage your SNS (Social Network Service) accounts like Facebook, Twitter, and your email accounts like Gmail, or Hotmail in this application..and texts, contacts, schedules too!!! Like Android devices, you can use widgets, so you can check the Facebook news feeds on the main screen. Wave 2 also contains Samsung Apps which is just like Android Market or App Store. It's a slim, streamlined metal body and the 5.0 mega pixel camera and flash has a diamond shape and it gives uniqueness. Its 3.7-inch Super Clear LCD screen looks ideal and you can use an external memory card up to 32GB. The price without contract is about KRW 700,000 (USD 633) and with 2-year contract, you can get it at about KRW 100,000 (USD 90). When the world's biggest social commerce company - Groupon decides something, it's huge. They will dispatch the board of directors from the main office, and the Korean domestic corporation will have about 200 employees. In 2011, the domestic social commerce market is expected to grow six times bigger than the previous year. As Groupon is launching in South Korea, full scale warfares in the social commerce market are inevitable. There were many rumors about Groupon in South Korea, but they were pretty much all wrong. Groupon was trying to acquire some local companies but they were not satisfactory. Groupon was surprised, however, that a change that took 2 years in the US, was progressed in Korea in only a couple of months. Social commerce has already become a red ocean here, so Groupon has also prepared more careful strategies and more cash. Korea is not a tiny market at all as China and Japan in Asia, and it can be the core when then expand to other Asian countries which are affected by the Korean Cultural Wave. Instead of M&A, Groupon plans to make its debut in Korea directly, and will use this experience for the future expansion to the other parts of Asia. Experts foresee that Groupon Korea will reach in the big 3 in a short time. They say that Groupon has a chance of success if Groupon uses a marketing strategy which values 'customer satisfaction'. Groupon America guarantees full refund when a customer wants it. FYI, the number of current Groupon members is about 50 million and its corporate value is USD 7.8 billion. This is your new blog post.

The global economic recovery is helping Koreans decide to spend their vacations overseas, and the popularity of the Korean Wave has been boosting up the demand of tourists from Japan, China, and Southeast Asia. Therefore, more international airlines are ready to launch their new flight routes to the Incheon International Airport. Especially, the routes connecting China-Korea-Japan are wildly popular, and low cost airlines have their eyes on those routes.
Japanese ANA is planning to found a low cost airline which will fly to cities within 4 hours. That includes not only local cities but cities in Korea and China. Another Airline from Japan, StarFlyer will launch charter flights from Kita-Kyushu to Busan and Osaka to Busan On March 25. In July 2011, the routes from Kita-Kyushu to Busan will become regular and there will be 2 flights a day. In addition, Sichuan Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Spring Airlines, Air India, and AeroLogic are preparing to put their flights in service on the Incheon route. Meanwhile, In November 2010, AirAsia started their flights from Incheon to Kuala Lumpur, and Etihad Airways has got a flight from Incheon to Abu Dhabi from December 2010. In 2011, Hawaiian Airlines has been flying from Incheon to Honolulu 4 times a week since January 14. |
