3G iPhone或其他苹果新设备将在美国发布?

根据ImportGenius.com的分析人士,被广泛期待的苹果3G iPhone可能即将上市.

     

Since mid-March, Apple Inc. and its logistics partners have imported 188 ocean containers of a product type never before declared on its shipping manifests. [...] On March 19 Quanta delivered 20 ocean containers of merchandise, described on the Bills of Lading as "electric computers," to Apple, Inc. Neither Apple, Quanta, nor any other company has ever used this product description for any shipments to the U.S. [...] Over the last few months shipments of "desktop computers" and other devices did not fall off, indicating that these "electric computers" represent a new product for the company rather than a simple renaming for their Customs declarations.

(翻译:从三月中旬开始,苹果公司的物流搭档从海路运输了188个集装箱,这批进口的物品从未出现在货运清单之上...在3月19日,台湾广达通过海运,发货了20个集装箱的货物给苹果,而帐单上标注的是"电器电脑".包括苹果,广达在内的所有公司,都从未用过这样的名称来描述发往美国的货物...而过去几个月"台式电脑"和其他设备的发货没有减少,也就意味着"电器电脑"代表的是一款苹果的新产品,而不是对于现有产品的重新命名.)

    该网站怀疑"电器电脑"这一称谓,指的就是新款iPhone.可能还真是吧,很多传闻都认为新产品将在WWDC上发布.

    有趣的是,其中一个电器电脑货物上写有物品504个,重量7140kg.也就意味着每个产品重量为14kg或30磅,尽管具体集装箱里运送的是什么还不得而知.如果3G iPhone真得在3月就被制造出来并且已经到货,也会让人非常吃惊.

    根据CrunchBase,ImportGenius是一个基于web的应用,允许商家查询国际商贸记录.

   

The company’s database contains every shipment entering the United States, allowing busineses to access contact information for each of their competitor’s overseas suppliers, or each of their overseas suppliers U.S. customers. Access to the database is sold as a monthly subscription.

(翻译:该公司的数据库包含进入美国的每一批货物,允许商家访问他们海外竞争对手的联系信息,或其海外供货商的信息.对于该数据库的访问需要按月订购.)
