New Batch of Hiphone Arrived!

During IT Show 2008, for first time we introduced IOrange Hiphone F1 to public in Singapore.

We have received some good suggestions about Screen brightness and Speaker Volume.

We have feedback all the information to Hiphone Manufacturer in Taiwan.And the factory engineer did work on this!

Due to time consumed to improve the phone performance, this batch of Hiphones have been delay to deliver to Singapore about 2 days. We seek your kind understanding and thanks for all the customers' patience.

Today finally we received new batch of Hiphone, after checking, we happily found the obvious improvements on screen brightness and Speaker Volume.

So PDA Vista would like to take opportunity to thank all the people's support and hope all the buyers (Pre-order in IT Show 2008) will enjoy using this phone to make their life easier and joyful.

As per our promise in the IT Show, we will deliver the Hiphone to the pre-order buyers from today onwards For FREE!!!

Once again Thanks for all your support!

サンテックで星最大のITショー開催－73万人、5,450万ドルの売り上げ

写真を拡大
4日間で73万人以上が訪れた今年のITショー。会場のサンテック国際会議展示場内、周辺ともに人波で混雑した
　世界各国の家電メーカーがIT・デジタル製品の展示販売を行うシンガポール最大のITイベント「ITショー 2008」が3月6日～9日、サンテック国際会議展示場（1 Raffles Boulevard）で開催され、過去最多の73万5,000人が来場。売り上げは、昨年を13.5％上回る過去最高の5,450万シンガポールドルを記録した。　イースタン・ディレクトリーズ社が主催する同展示即売会は毎年3月に開催されており、今回で16回目。同社は同様の展示即売会「COMEX」を毎年9月に開催している。　今年は昨年より1フロア多い4フロア計30万平方フィートを会場として使用。約800の出展企業が最新のIT技術を駆使したデジタルカメラ、プラズマテレビ、ブルーレイディスクプレーヤー、スマートフォンなどの展示販売のほか、100ドル以上を購入した来場者が参加できる最大2万ドルが当たる抽選会も行われた。　約1万平方フィートの3階コンコース（中央広場）全体を占めたソニーブース中央の特設ステージでは、モデルによる商品のデモンストレーション、シンガポールの和太鼓グループ「天鼓（TENKO）」のパフォーマンスなどが行われた。　ソニーシンガポールの広報責任者、ゴー・ミン・リーさんは「今年の反応はすごかった。特に最終日には多くのソニーブースで長蛇の列ができ、品切れになった製品も多かった」と話し、このような大規模のITショーの集客力に対応できるように今後も努めていきたいとも。　

PDA Vista社は、中国製のスマートフォン「HiPhone」の展示・予約販売を行った。同商品はアップル社の「iPhone」とほぼ同等の操作性・機能を備えながら399ドル（プロモーション価格。通常小売価格は499ドル）と低価格で、来場者の注目を集めた。　

会場には100人以上の警備員が配置され、エスカレーターの使用を停止した入場制限も行われたが混雑は緩和されず、疲れて床に座り込む人々の姿も見られた。タクシー乗り場には製品を購入した人たちの長蛇の列ができ、会場周辺も人の流れであふれた。　センカーンから来たミッシェル・エヌリゲスさんは、プラズマテレビ、デジタルカメラ3台、カメラのバッテリーパック、三脚、メモリースティック（8GB）などを約3,000ドルで購入。「これから長いタクシーの列に並ばないといけないけど、家に帰るまで待ちきれない」とうれしそうに話していた。

First cheap 'iClone' phone hits stores here

The first copycats of Apple's handheld gizmo, the iPhone, have hit the shelves here, sporting many of the key features found on the much-hyped Apple original - but at a fraction of the cost.

The American firm has hit a roadblock in its talks with telecom operators here over the business model for its prized gizmo, which demands that telcos give Apple a cut of their revenues.
Meanwhile, the HiPhone is hunkering down and feeding the market.
It is similar in size to the iPhone, but does not have Wi-Fi for wireless surfing.
Its metallic frame does not look as polished as Apple's either.
But its on-board software mimics some of Apple's much-touted ease of use: For example, a user can zoom in or out of a picture by merely sliding his thumb and index finger on the screen.
The screen lock is also like the iPhone's in that one only has to slide a finger to activate it.
These copycat features are a boon for those who cannot afford the real thing or are unwilling to pay a premium for it.
Manager Chua Swee Leng, 34, who uses a China-made parallel-imported phone, said not everyone is brand-conscious enough to insist on an Apple or Nokia gizmo.
She said: 'If you go to Sim Lim and see the vendors selling parallel-imported China phones, you'll see budget-conscious users.'
The handful of retailers who have been promoting the HiPhone at Sim Lim Square said sales have been brisk. They declined to divulge their sales figures.
Indeed, when it comes to hitting the shelves, it has even beat another much-talked-about clone, the Meizu M8, which is due here this year.
The M8 also looks like Apple's iPhone, except that it runs on Microsoft Windows instead of Apple's software.
A much-awaited prototype of the M8 was shown this week at the yearly Cebit technology fair in Germany.
Apple, which has already seen copies of its other winning product - the iPod music player - go on shelves here, will not be impressed. When contacted, an Apple spokesman declined comment.
But fans are surprised at how far some firms would go to clone the iPhone.
Said businessman and iPhone owner Tan Lek Han, 33: 'I don't think people will confuse it with the real thing, but when I saw it, I was still surprised at how similar it was to the iPhone. It was a shock how they copied it.'
Latest comments
Apple targets at different market. The market that consumers will pay just because it is Apple. HiPhone is a good copycat and those that want to be half cool can buy but may be shy to take it out. So hopefully this phone comes with bluetooth. The user can put hide the phone in the bag.

Agree with #3.Apple is stubborn and being purposely deaf to her customers complaints and the consumers' needs.Yes, Apple do create and produce excellent and leading edge IT and electronic products.But lacks business sense and not shrewd in her marketing plans.So other countries WILL capitalise on that and copy their design and re-package a more alluring product.Wake up.... Apple !.

Apple deserved it. If they retailed iPhone like other phones with no restrictions (to telcomm operation and software), they would not have to face this kind of problems.

Let's wait and see the next Chinese clone...Mac's iBook Air has now hit the stores in China!
