With the Samsung Galaxy Nexus/Nexus Prime/Droid Prime not even out the door, let alone seeing an official announcement or acknowledge about the device, and with the Samsung Galaxy S2 arriving in the US not too long ago, there has already been talk about a Samsung Galaxy S III, and it looks like it’s already in the works if the leaked photo above is to be believed.

With the tremendous success Samsung has had with the Galaxy S2, it’s only natural that they would capitalize on that with a successor, the Galaxy S III (assuming that’s what it’s going to be called). Thanks to Phandroid’s tipster, and assuming that the details aren’t fabricated, we now know a little bit more about to expect from Samsung’s next flagship phone.

In what appears to be a hastily snagged photo of an internal slideshow presentation, there is mention of a Samsung Galaxy S III. There is an an accompanying photo but that could be a placeholder for all we know, but based on the specs listed, the alleged Samsung Galaxy S III will be shipped with an 1.8GHz dual-core processor using Samsung’s Exynos 4212 chipset, 2GB of RAM, a 12MP camera and will feature a 4.6” Super AMOLED Plus HD display.

What do you guys think? Is this just a really clever fake/photoshopped image or are we looking at a possible Samsung Galaxy S III’s specs? I guess for now we’ll just have to take this with a grain of salt and wait for more details to surface.

Could Europe’s iPhone sport a micro USB interface?

Could Europe’s iPhone sport a micro USB interface? | Ubergizmo window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ appId : '139683546053659', status : true, // check login status cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session xfbml : true // parse XFBML }); }; (function() { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; e.async = true; document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e); }()); Network:Ubergizmo English, French, SpanishUberphones Subscribe to RSS Ubergizmo ReviewsMobileGamingAndroidAppleComputersGadgetsConceptsPhoto/VideoEvents |  Jobs Home > Apple > Could Europe’s iPhone sport a micro USB interface? Could Europe’s iPhone sport a micro USB interface? Tyler Lee 09/29/2011 06:43 PDT

Most, if not all phones in Europe use a micro USB interface (pictured above circled in red) to charge and sync, but Apple has stubbornly held on to their 30-pin dock connector design. Back in 2009 the European Commission managed to reach a voluntary agreement with 10 mobile phone manufacturers to adopt a standard micro USB interface, and Apple was one of the parties who signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which basically stated that they would comply.

While the iPhone 4S/5 has yet to be revealed, it is possible that it could sport the micro USB interface, at least as far as the European models are concerned, but Steven Sandle at TUAW doesn’t seem to think so. It seems that while Apple did sign a MoU, it is not legally binding, which means that Apple could go back on their word at any time (which could make them look bad in the process). However for more obvious reasons, Apple will most likely not be adopting the micro USB interface is because of the sheer amount of accessories and docking systems available right now for the iPhone.

Instead what Apple may do, according to Steven Sandle, is that they could stick to their current 30-pin connector while providing an adapter that will allow connection via micro USB. Not only will this let Apple comply with the European Commission but at the same time allow accessory makers to keep pushing out accessories with the dock connector. For those living in Europe and who love the micro USB standard, this could be good news indeed!

Take note that this is purely speculation and meant for discussion purposes – would our European readers appreciate an iPhone that complied with the micro USB standard?

Microsoft’s low-end Windows Phone 7 chassis could be for Tango

Microsoft’s low-end Windows Phone 7 chassis could be for Tango | Ubergizmo window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ appId : '139683546053659', status : true, // check login status cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session xfbml : true // parse XFBML }); }; (function() { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; e.async = true; document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e); }()); Network:Ubergizmo English, French, SpanishUberphones Subscribe to RSS Ubergizmo ReviewsMobileGamingAndroidAppleComputersGadgetsConceptsPhoto/VideoEvents |  Jobs Home > CellPhones > Microsoft’s low-end Windows Phone 7 chassis could be for Tango Microsoft’s low-end Windows Phone 7 chassis could be for Tango Edwin Kee 09/30/2011 01:36 PDT

If you’re going to win the smartphone race, concentrating on the high end market alone is not going to help you emerge victorious among your rivals, although it might let you pick up some accolades along the way if you’re consistent at the high end side of things. Well, Microsoft certainly knows this, and while their Windows Phone 7 handsets have been pretty impressive to date, there are new specifications being leaked about a lower-end chassis that will comprise of the Windows Phone line-up – and a rumored minor update for Windows Phone known as Tango could very well be tweaked to cater to low-end devices.

Hence, a new chassis which was recently spotted could very well be the base for such handsets, where the majority of the specifications on this chassis will play nice with all versions of Windows Phone such as multitouch support of at least 4 points, A-GPS, Accelerometer, Compass and Proximity sensors, a minimum 3-megapixel camera, and microUSB and 3.5mm headphone connectors.

Forget about a minimum 8GB of internal memory as this chassis supports a minimum of just 2GB, and while there is no additional information on the minimum CPU specifications, chances are you might even see a slower processor.

Business to Business Sales Acid Test: How Could You Improve Sales Performance?

What could you do to improve sales performance in these very demanding times? An important first step in your b2b sales strategy is to identify the primary skills and attitude issues that are having a negative impact on your company's sales performance. The majority of these will be associated with what I often refer to as "comfort zone selling". This article is primarily aimed at companies selling business to business solutions, services or consultancy.

Do You Have An Effective Business to Business Sales Strategy?

Many b2b salespeople go through the same tired old sales process time and again, without every really understanding the psychology or dynamics behind the complex buying decisions that involve value add or business critical solutions or services. Sometimes they get lucky and very often they don't. Yet there is another breed of b2b salespeople who would seem to experience more sustained "luck" in this area. The reality of course is that they make their own luck through a more intelligent and strategic approach to complex sales scenarios.

This sales acid test looks at the top 20 business to business sales growth killers that tend to defy a company's efforts to improve sales performance and it applies as much to large corporates as it does to small or medium enterprise (SME). Engaging an experienced sales coach can bring a valuable external view with fresh ideas to catalyse your sales strategy.

Business to Business Sales Acid Test - A Health Warning

This b2b sales acid test sets out to highlight only those business growth killers that are directly sales related. A separate article will focus on other "people related" business growth killers. These two areas are obviously closely related with many interdependencies and it may be beneficial to consider them collectively for your sales strategy to succeed. Some of the sales issues described here will have a direct impact on other business areas and vice versa.

There is a health warning with this b2b sales acid test in that any changes it may inspire you to make are best carried out as a sales evolution, rather than a sales revolution. In other words, beware of trying to address too much too soon or you may end up with a confused and revolting sales team (pun intended). It is advised that you consider engaging an external b2b sales coach with relevant experience to assist you in determining what to tackle (importance), when to tackle it (urgency), and how to tackle it (best approach).

Salespeople Are at the Heart of Both the Problem and the Solution

The market tends to place expectations on the role and function of a salesperson and how they should and shouldn't behave and weaker or less experienced salespeople largely tend to conform to this unfortunate stereotype. Therein lies the core challenge as conformance will ensure mediocrity at the very best. No key influencer or decision maker wants to spend time in the company of the stereotype salesperson as they recognise that there is little value in engaging with such people. Many will however choose to spend time with that rare b2b salesperson that really brings value as a trusted advisor.

There are strategies and approaches that may work for retail sales, business to consumer (b2c) sales and others that may work for business to business (b2b) commodity sales. However these are all guaranteed to fail miserably when selling b2b value-add or business critical solutions, services or consultancy. When a key influencer or decision maker knows their career may depend on the supplier selection they make, there is no room for a salesperson whose primary interest is in trying to flog them something. Such complex scenarios require a far more credible and considered b2b sales strategy, winning credibility and the confidence of senior players in order to create a decent chance of success.

Some b2b salespeople will be more receptive to change and have the potential to modify their attitudes and behaviours, learn new skills or adopt new approaches. These people are more likely to be worth investing in as you seek to raise the bar on sales performance. However, there will always be others that will either lack the potential or be unwilling to move out of their comfort zones. It would help to improve sales performance if the latter were to be encouraged to pursue their sales careers elsewhere, being replaced by those more willing and able.

And Now to the Sales Acid Test Itself

What follows is a summary of the top 20 "sales related" growth killers that I have come across in recent years. Any one of these will impact a company's overall sales potential and many companies suffer a combination that tends to exacerbate the negative impact, causing the sales growth of some to slow down, stand still or even recede. It's all too easy to hope such things will simply go away and many managers may want to avoid any potential confrontation that might arise if they tried to address such issues. That's where the support of an experienced external b2b sales coach comes in.

Top 20 Business to Business Sales Growth Killers (in no specific order)

Concerning Prospective or Existing Customers: Note: "client" is used below to represent prospects or customers.


Poor returns from presentations, demos, trials, proposals or bids.
Regular sales forecast slippage or forecast order value reduction.
Suffering late stage disappointments with key forecast opportunities.
Some clients become unresponsive after proposals are submitted.
Being used for free consultancy by people with no intention of buying.
Investing time bidding on client projects that fail to gain funding.
Difficulty getting in front of key influencers or decision makers.
Difficulty in gaining client commitment to progress to next steps.
Clients holding us at arm's length preventing any real relationship.
Clients not keeping us well-informed of changes that might impact us.
Clients not being straight with us by withholding information or lying.
Clients see us more as a product supplier than a strategic partner.
Clients expecting our key value-add at little or no additional cost.
Our pricing or terms are too often compromised in sales negotiations.
Salespeople too frequently requesting client discounts or concessions.
Reluctance of existing clients to meet us on a regular enough basis.
Sales reluctance to involve management in key client relationships.
Inconsistent or weak sales strategy failing to gain enough traction.
Some salespeople failing to meet expectations or hit sales targets.
Inconsistent overall sales performance leading to feast or famine.

Relating the B2B Sales Acid Test to Your Company

Your sales entity may suffer a combination of these issues that will serve to weaken any strategy you might implement to improve sales performance. No company is or ever will be perfect and in reality most of these sales issues will apply in some degree or other to every business. Therefore it's important to focus on those proving most detrimental to your company's sales strategy rather than shooting for overall sales perfection.

You may benefit significantly from taking a pragmatic look to understand how many of these sales issues apply to your business and don't despair if its more than one. At least you will have started the process of sales evolution by identifying these as key change focus areas. If we first identify and then look to address the most important and urgent and aim to do this over a period of months rather than weeks or days, we will have a far greater chance of success. Engaging an experienced external sales coach may be critical if you are serious about evolving your b2b sales strategy for growth.

Sales Development Training and How to Learn Sales Skills That Could Change Your Life

Sales development training to increase your sales skills is a great investment. But if you just learn sales skills, and don't know how to put them into action, you won't get the lifestyle changes you want. To make it work, and get results, sales training needs a plan that's achievable, practical, and that has worked for others like you.

Do you see other sales people achieving more than you? While you're struggling to make your monthly payments they're buying new homes, expensive holidays, and great looking cars. Do these successful colleagues get attention and recognition from other people, people you would like to notice you? You have thought about learning sales skills to try and increase your sales results and your income. You may have downloaded some sales skill training, or been on sales training courses, but you're still stuck in a rut and struggling to earn the rich rewards that a sales career should offer.

Everyone in sales now has access to sales training and can learn sales skills that could change their lifestyle. The Internet is full of a wide range of professional sales training and free sales training courses. The effective sales skill training that does cost money gives you free examples and information on the training, so you can make an educated decision before buying, and the investment cost is very reasonable. For a few dollars you can download a sales training course and start taking actions today that could completely change your life.

Anyone with average intelligence, and the right attitude, can learn sales skills that can change their lifestyle. So how come there are so many sales people just plodding along, stuck in a rut, and running out of time to achieve their goals and live the lifestyle they want. What makes a difference to so many career sales people's lives is knowing how to put the sales training into actions. So when you decide that today's the day that your life changes, and you are going to get serious about sales development training and putting it into action, here's a sales development training plan to get you started on achieving your desires and dreams.

Find the sales training that's right for you

Click around the Internet and find the right sales skill training for you and your sales career. Consider if your customers buy because of their feelings and emotions, or do they make a buying decision based on logic. What's the value of your average sale? The sales process for a low value high volume product will be different to the sales techniques used for a low volume high value sale. Making money from repeat business sales will require different sales skills to a one off market. You want selling skills that are customer focused and avoid feelings of buyer's remorse to succeed in the repeat sales marketplace.

When you have a clear picture of your sale, the sale process, and how you close the sale, start clicking around the Internet. Look for sales development training that offers ways to increase sales by learning sales skills that match your style of selling. It's no good buying sales training on killer sales closes if your sales are based on repeat business from customers that feel valued. Retail sales skills are different to B2B sales techniques. Successful direct sales people use selling techniques that suit their market and their product. Look at free sales training courses and get all the information you can to decide which is right for you. Then invest in sales skill training.

Now start to use the sales skills to change your life

Once you've found the right sales development training, you have to use it to gain from it. It's no good just looking at it. You have to turn the sales training on the screen into actions. Take the sales skill training and transfer it into actions you are going to take. Write them in your diary and make them time bound. Have one sales action for each day, because you know you can complete that. Each action will build upon the one from the previous day.

For example, you start sales skill training to build a new sales introduction. The sales training says your first line should be an introduction of you, and your business. It must be short and to the point with no long winded speech about you or the product. This is your first action for day one. Write the new first line of for your sales introduction. Then day two could be to add a reason for seeing the buyer to your sales introduction. At the end of the first week you have a brand new sales introduction and you're ready to start work on the other sales stages. And you are not becoming bored with the sales training, or finding you haven't got the time to compete it.

The difference between successful sales people and the rest is not the sales skill training they receive, and it's not even their level of sales ability. It's whether they take actions or just sit back and let sales commission slip away. In most markets if you don't sell to a prospective customer some other sales person will. If you don't take actions today to increase your sales with sales development training, you are giving money to some other sales person. Perhaps it's one of those you have seen succeeding, and buying new cars and a bigger house. Join them now by taking action today. Look for sales development training now by clicking around the Internet, and go get that diary. Or, stay as you are and tomorrow will be the same as today.
