Xiaomi Box Could Run Android Games As Well | Ubergizmo
Earlier this evening, we talked about this particular device known as the Xiaomi Box, but it was just a fleeting mention, as the main “meat” of the article happened to be about the 8-core processor in a future XiaoMi smartphone. Well, here we are with additional details concerning the upcoming Xiaomi Box, which happens to be a small device that enables folks who own it run Android apps on your TV, meaning you are able to stream Internet radio, video, and other kind of compatible content. Who knows? It might eventually end up as a highly affordable game console for your living room (or wherever else you prefer your man-cave to be located at).
According to CNBeta, the folks over at Xiaomi claim that the Xiaomi Box will feature support for Android games in due time. At the moment, the Xiaomi Box will ship with a wireless remote control that allows you to navigate media. Should Xiaomi decide to throw in support for Android games into the mix, who knows, they might yet open up another revenue channel, that is by selling gamepad-style controllers. We are also not ruling out the possibility of a new hardware package that will boast of more beefed up specifications alongside a game controller, of course.

Chinese Smartphone Manufacturer, Xiaomi Overtakes BlackBerry in Valuation
link
Published on: 26th Aug 2013
Fast rising Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Xiaomi says that it has secured additional investment taking its valuation to around US$10 billion -- which is higher than ailing BlackBerry's market capitalisation.
Xiaomi's CEO, Lei Jun confirmed the fresh round of investment funding via a short note on his Weibo microblogging account.
In the short message he didn't expand on who the investors are of the size of their capital injection into the company.
The company was last known to have raised money from investors in June 2012, when it pulled in US$216 million, and valued the company at US$4 billion.
The fast growing company is now the fifth largest smartphone vendor in China, ahead of Apple, and aims to sell 15 million handsets this year.
The company only started selling smartphones in the middle of 2011, and has recently secured its first handset sales agreement with China Mobile.

Don't worry Indians, you should start producing rubber dildos on mass global scale.
Then you can shove them in your mouths and finally STFU.

I don't see anything in that article to suggest that Micromax is building components in India. It is still sourcing components from outside and assembling the final product in India. The only innovation they are doing is mixing and matching components based on Indian consumer trends.

HONG KONG--BYD Co. (002594.SZ, 1211.HK) expects a weak third-quarter performance after the Chinese battery and car maker on Sunday reported a sharp rise in first-half net on the back of rising car sales and narrowed losses from solar operations.
The Shenzhen-based company, Warren Buffett's highest-profile investment in China, said in a statement its net profit for the six months ended June 30 was 427 million yuan ($69.8 million), up from CNY16.27 million a year earlier. The increase was in line with the company's earlier forecasts for a net profit of CNY400 million to CNY500 million.
MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., a unit of Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRKA), owns a 10% stake in BYD.
It forecast net profit of CNY430 million to CNY477 million for the January-September period, reflecting a sharp jump from CNY20.9 million in the year-earlier period but also implying only a small profit contribution from the third quarter, which falls into the traditional weak season for the automobile market in China. Continued losses from its solar operations as well as intensifying competition in the smartphone manufacturing industry would also weigh on its profitability, the company said.
In the first-half, BYD's revenue rose 13% to CNY24.24 billion, of which revenue from car sales rose 19% to CNY12.77 Billion, contributing more than half of all revenue. The company sold 250,000 cars in the first six months--up from 25% a year earlier and accounted for half of its full-year sale target of 500,000 cars. It didn't disclose the number of alternative-fuel cars it sold in the first half.
The Chinese car maker plans to launch more new car models, including a new high-end sport utility vehicle and a plug- in hybrid car called Qin in the second half, it said.
Meanwhile, handset components and assembly operations contributed CNY9.02 billion in BYD's first-half revenue, up 6.6% from a year earlier and accounted for 37% of the total revenue, thanks to the launch of for smartphone products from its customers which include Nokia Corp. (NOK, NOK1V.HE), Taiwan'sHTC Corp. (2498.TW, HTCXF), Korea'sSamsung Electronics Co. (005930.SE, SSNHZ) and China's Huawei Technologies Co.
Same as last year, the company didn't recommend a first-half dividend.
