5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
According to the report, being a key player in TV 2.0 and using technologies such as the Xbox Live marketplace to download High-Def movie and TV content, Microsoft can look forward to revenue of US$92.25 million this year stepping up to US$726 Million by 2011. In Australia Microsoft can expect to wait a while before cashing in on this market. A Microsoft source, when questioned by iTWire regarding the unavailability of Xbox 360 goodies, such as HD-DVD add on drive, TV and Movie content from Xbox live and the availability of a large capacity Xbox 360 Hard Drive, was cagey. Mostly it is a waiting game in the Australian (small by comparison market). We can expect the HD-DVD drive Q1 this year at $249 including a copy of Peter Jacksons’ King Kong and a multimedia remote control. On the High-Def content Xbox Live and Hard Drive front, it was more of a “it will happen – when the time is right” front. {moscomment} |
