If she did, she wouldn't propose a mechanisms that (1) is far more expensive than disc distribution (2) is technically unsuitable (as Fazal mentions) (3) has nothing to do with zero inventory (Blu-Ray discs could be burned on site the same way flash memory could be written) and (4) does not address consumer behaviours such as browsing, impulse purchasing, lending, collecting, etc. Finally, the idea that retail desires a zero-inventory model is fallacious... if they truly achieved a zero inventory model, there would be no reason to go to their store. You would just buy online and they'd cease to exist. Blu-Ray will be successful for the next decade because (1) it's cheaper than all the alternatives and (2) it utilizes the existing retail and distribution networks and (3) it does not require consumers to re-learn or change their behaviours. The chance that consumers will start going to shops en mass and filling memory cards up with HD movies in the next decade is about the same chance that geeks like Laurie will learn somthing about business - that is, zero.mediastrategyThu, 27 Mar 2008 14:01:24 -0000http://e71fanatics.disqus.com/e71_business_email_mail_for_exchange_updated_to_version_29/#comment-8733018I have an E71 (RM-357) with firmware 200.21.118, and running MFE 2.9 I am finding a huge battery drain when continuously connected. Over the weekend, with no connection to the Exchange server, battery life was normal. This morning, the battery went from full to 1 bar after on 3 hours of being connected to the Exchange server.... and the device is very hot. I've been having this behaviour for almost a week since installing the new MfE. Going to re-install 2.7mediastrategyMon, 27 Apr 2009 11:49:39 -0000
