SMARTEST & DUMBEST COMPETITIVE MARKETING TACTICS
Page 28p
Smartest – Apple iPhone Hype Cycle
●Months of rumors and speculation.
● Jan 2007 – Steve Jobs announces the iPhone.
●The hype built up even more between Jan and Jun 2007.
●Thousands of people waited anxiously for iPhone premiere.
●Endless line on day of launch – Jun 27 2007.
Page 29p
Smartest – iPhone Network Externality
● iPhone has a huge positive externality effect.
●Apple advertises that only iPhone has 100,000+ apps.
●More buy iPhone because of apps.
●More developers develop apps only for iPhone.
●And more people buy iPhone.
●Apple marketing has expanded Smartphone market.
Page 30p
Smartest – Droid Does what iPhone doesn’t
●Droid positioned itself directly against iPhone.
●Advertised all its features that iPhone doesn’t support.
Motorola Droid
Page 31p
Dumbest – Rage? 802.1x Authentication?
●Too technical for users.●Doesn’t explain benefits.●No call for action.●Not necessarily clear why
only Palm can have these features.
Page 32p
Smartest – Apple Store Invites Trial
●Apple in-store trial is a unique experience for customers.
●Customer experience results in repeat customers.
●Customers drop by just to hang out.
●Genius bar for hands-on technical support.
●High customer satisfaction results in very high brand loyalty.
Apple retail store. Come to shop and return to learn.
Got a technical question? Step up to the Genius Bar.
Page 33p
Dumbest – Retail Store Invites Confusion
●General retail stores do a poor product display.
●All phones are given equal importance.
●Nobody answers “why this phone”?
Page 34p
Dumbest – Palm Rests on an Old Apple core
●An indirect shot at iPhone, but doesn’t call out why Palm Pre is more attractive.
●Target audience is not clear.
●No call for action.
Page 35p
Dumbest – Nice colors, but why?
● Just attractive backgrounds, but doesn’t explain phone features.
●Why this phone?●Who is the target audience?
Page 36p
Dumbest – Subtle Approach
●Droid promotions appeared on Google search results.
●Bad placement as it doesn’t even say that Droid is a phone.
●No targeted message.
Page 37p
Smart – Free Publicity
●Blackberry built free publicity out of President Obama’s passion for Blackberry.
●The messaging is clean and powerful.
Page 38p
Not-so-smart – Why Palm?
●Doesn’t explain why you could organize your life only with Palm.
●Doesn’t call out Palm’s features.
●No targeted message.
Page 39p
Not-so-smart – Is it a phone advertisement?
●Cingular, Windows Mobile and Phone have same visual importance.
●Phone features are not highlighted anywhere.
●The spokesperson doesn’t even use phone in the picture.
Page 40p
Not-so-smart – Can you even see it?
Nobody can notice the tiny Palm Pre logo at above 200mph speed.

WHAT WORKED & WHAT DIDN’T
Page 43p
What has worked for Nexus so far?
●Google BRAND.●Partnership with T-Mobile.
Those who prefer T-mobile carrier now have a better phone choice.

Page 44p

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths
●Google recognition and dominance in internet searches● iPhone / Android Gaining Mobile Internet Usage Share - Symbian (Nokia) +
RIM + Windows Mobile Losing Share●Processor speed (1 GHz)●Available on multiple mobile carrier networks●7 Hr Battery life●Camera resolution (5 MP)●Expandable Memory●Open-Source Smartphone Platform-of- Choice
● Most robust open-source alternative to iPhone platform with incentivized partners ● Free software for device manufacturers / carriers

Weaknesses
●New entrant into mobile phone industry●Sub-Optimal User Experience
● Device manufacturers complain about Google’s lack of technical support when it comes to developing new Android Smartphones
●Pricing– iPhone available for $99
●Market share●Fewer applications●Fewer accessories●No physical keyboard
Page 64p
Opportunities
●Long term, Google Android’s open / free operating system (combined with clever device manufacturers), standardization of more powerful mobile web browsers, emerging markets competition and carrier limitations may pose challenges to Apple’s market share upside.
●RIM may maintain enterprise lead owing to installed base, but long-term outlook is challenged.● RIM BlackBerry may maintain enterprise lead for foreseeable future, but long-term
outlook is challenged – consumer offerings likely to prove increasingly uncompetitive owing to software / application disadvantages.
●Open mobile web potentially more attractive to developers / consumers – Google / Opera leading transformation of mobile browsers into development platforms. Apple ‘walled garden’ approach somewhat constrained by Apple’s approval process + carrier capacity.
●Highest Handset Vendor Operating Margins at High End of Market – 20%+ for Smartphones vs. 8% for Low-End Vendors● Highest for iPhone over Motorola, Sony Erickson, Nokie, LG, Samsung and RIMM
Page 65p
Opportunities (continued)
●Growing Android app marketplace ●Exclusive carrier deals could limit Apple’s market share upside – AT&T● Insufficient battery capacity could continue to prevent effective
multitasking● In Technology, Products with Most / Best Apps Usually Win – In Mobile,
Apple is Clear Leader and Newcomer Android Has Quickly Surpassed the Old Guard

Threats
●Network Effects● Apple
●Near term, Apple is driving the platform change to mobile computing and leading in user experience. Its mobile ecosystem (iPhone + iTouch + iTunes + accessories + services) market share / impact should surprise on upside for at least the next 1-2 years.
●Revenue opportunities for developers
●Decreasing cost of manufacturing●Other Smartphone manufacturers will experience decreased bill-of-materials
●Lower BOM (Bill-Of-Material) Costs + Prices Stimulate Smartphone Demand – iPhone 3G Price to $99 from $199 = 89% Demand Increase

Morgan Stanley iPhone Interest Survey, 11/2008 (Top 3 barriers)
●#1 Purchase Barrier = Monthly Plan Cost ($95) – 55% of interested respondents cited service costs as reason for not purchasing
●#2 Purchase Barrier = Device Price ($199 / $299) – High iPhone price kept 53% of interested respondents from purchasing; price reduction to $100 increases unit demand 89% among respondents● Apple has eliminated this barrier
●#3 Purchase Barrier = Carrier Exclusivity (AT&T) – 41% of interested respondents would not purchase iPhone due to carrier exclusivity – citing coverage / pricing issues with AT&T + switching costs from existing carriers● Nexus One currently available on multiple networks

Marketing Research Plan
Issues to be Researched Costs Timing
Target – Google relationship. Google mini store is the creative element of our marketing success plan. If the relationship works, then Google mini store can be rolled out in other popular retail stores. The conversion rate and user experience needs to be researched further.
Development of survey, in store data collection and analysis at 50 Target stores will cost approx. $500k.
Needs to be done 4 times first year to study the improvements and increased level of customer satisfaction. The frequency can be slowed down later.
Smart phone switcher expectations. Thought we have collected data on a brand new smart phone user, we need to dive deep to understand user needs. It will help us define our segment better.
