报道：高通愿意对中国反垄断调查做出让步

据路透社报道，高通称它愿意修改在中国的专利定价，希望结束中国国家发改委进行的反垄断调查。发改委在其网站发表的一份声明中称，发改委官员星期二（8月21日）会见了包括总裁Derek Aberle在内的高通代表团。这家美国芯片公司在一份通过电子邮件发表的声明中还表示：“为了全面解决问题，高通和中国国家发改委官员讨论了若干主题。我们将继续同中国国家发改委合作，现在还不能做进一步评论。” 据报道，不久前，中国有关部门和韩国同行讨论了中国立案调查高通反垄断行为一事。去年11月，发改委针对高通专利授权和价格问题开始进行反垄断调查。今年2月，发改委表示高通涉嫌滥用无线芯片市场支配地位。…

中兴通讯加入智能手表厂商行列

据《金融时报》报道，中兴通信明年将加入智能手表厂商行列，这意味着这个细分市场有可能会出现价格较低的产品。雄心勃勃的中国厂商目前正在向可穿戴计算项目投资，包括智能眼镜和智能手表。报道援引中兴通讯手机业务负责人何士友的话称，智能手表最早将在明年一季度发布。如果用报道的数量来衡量，智能手表市场越来越热，但是，到目前为止，很少有迹象显示这个市场契合消费者的需求。据报道，三星称已卖出80万块Galaxy Gear智能手表，不过，对这个数字统计的是卖到消费者手中的设备，还是进入渠道的产品，人们尚存争论。源自韩国的报道称，三星仅仅卖出了50万块智能手机，说明消费者需求冷淡。三星正是针对这些报道发布了上面的数字。专门生产智能手表的创业企业Pebble表示已有19万块产品投入使用，索尼称它的前两代产品大约有50万块被消费者买走，但一直没有透露今年早些时候发布的第三代产品SmartWatch 2的销售情况。中兴通讯进军可穿戴市场的动机是希望巩固自己在智能手机市场的份额，摆脱市场份额不相上下的几家智能手机厂商，包括国内厂商华为和联想，还有LG电子，这些厂商通常属于全球第三、第四或第五大智能手机厂商。…
