my only con...Without having looked at any reports,<br /><br />my only concern is that they ride on the Apple trend of techno products.<br /><br />While it might be doing a roaring business now, my thoughts of it as a business are these:<br /><br />(1) Barrier to Entry is not high. Even if they have secured exclusive distributorship, there are still parallel imports, people selling their phones immediately after getting it at a discount from telcos, or simply by buying direct from Apple. <br /><br />(2) Heavily dependent on Apple. Once Apple stops delivering new innovative products, their sales will drop significantly. They will have to change strategy by then. How, I'm not sure at all, as there are also many sellers of other series of phones.<br /><br />(3) Dependent on spending power. While to some, iphones (or handphones) might be a necessity, in reality, if the economy goes real bad, no one will really want to spend too much on such tech stuff that depreciates at an alarming rate.<br /><br />(4) The market will eventually saturate. Epicentre will experience phenomenal growth in the early stages of smartphones. However, as the penetration rate of smartphones get higher, it will be tougher and tougher to do business.<br /><br /><br /><br />On it's probable China venture, it would be tough to compete with already established local retailers. I'm not very optimistic about the venture for a resale company.<br /><br /><br />That basically sums up my quick thoughts of it as a business. Again, I have to mention I have not read its reports nor anyone else's, so certain portions of what I said might be inaccurate :)JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633191740991225888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011577338115764180.post-50954163647007996132011-03-07T19:35:41.482+08:002011-03-07T19:35:41.482+08:00Hi JW,

So far, revenue and profits are increasingly real fast for Epicentre due to the popularity of iPad last year. <br /><br />I am sure iPad 2 will help to push its profits even higher next year. ^^Dividend Tech Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905667545384063302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011577338115764180.post-79399990238522696472011-03-07T16:47:57.219+08:002011-03-07T16:47:57.219+08:00Hmmm, I will go find some time to take a quick loo...Hmmm, I will go find some time to take a quick look at Epicentre...
