The Samsung Galaxy Alpha to launch next month

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha to launch next month

If we were to tell you that a new Samsung device called the Alpha was to launch next month and it would be a high end flagship, you would probably be happy. You would be thinking that this is an entirely new handset that you had not previously heard of, and that would be good, but unfortunately you would be wrong.
Instead, the soon to be launched Galaxy Alpha is actually the Galaxy F, or as you may also know it the Galaxy S5 Prime. A flagship device that has gone through several names but is one in the same, but hey it is a real handset, that is almost certain now. At least we have some information regarding when this admittedly exciting device will be landing.
Korean outlet KTNews Samsung will release the Alpha next month to coincide with the launch of the iPhone 6, the company will use an aggressive marketing campaign to take the fight to Apple.
"According to industry insiders on July 13, the Galaxy Alpha, which Samsung will launch next month, is a premium smartphone made of a metal. It is forecast to counter the iPhone 6 scheduled to be released in September. It appears that Samsung will rebound from its recent poor performance with a new smartphone line-up, not the Galaxy S or Galaxy Note Series."
The device will have increased specs and will be a better performer than the Galaxy S5 and will more likely match the recently launched GS5 LTE-A. However, we said that this was an exciting device, a word not often used to describe Samsung smartphones. Along with its blockbuster specs, the Galaxy Alpha (F or Prime) will be the first Samsung smartphone to have a full metal body, finally giving consumers a high build quality along with the undoubted quality of the company?s output.
We are interested to see how Samsung will fit the Alpha alongside the Galaxy S5, the company?s undisputed flagship device and core product. Interestingly Samsung has recently partly blamed high marketing costs for falling profits, but the company is still willing to pour funds for marketing the Alpha around the world in a bid to keep up with Apple's iPhone 6, when that device launches as well this fall.

HP chairman resigns from board amid health concerns

 Hewlett-Packard's board of directors now stands at 11 people, including CEO Meg Whitman and venture capital titan Marc Andreessen.

After a little more than a year as chairman, Ralph Whitworth has resigned from Hewlett-Packard's board of directors.HP confirmed the news early on Tuesday, affirming that Whitworth is departing to focus on personal health concerns. The move is effective July 16.

Whitworth will also be taking a leave of absence from his investment company, Relational Investors, which he co-founded in 1996.

A member of HP's board of directors since 2011, Whitworth was appointed interim chairman in April 2013, stepping in for then-chairman Ray Lane amid the fallout after the Autonomy acquisition debacle.

HP's recovery has been an ongoing public struggle, which CEO Meg Whitman has admitted and stressed repeatedly that this should be expected for at least the next few quarters -- if not the next few years.

Nevertheless, Whitworth had positive words for Whitman's leadership during the transition, remarking that while he is "disappointed to step down from HP's board at such an exciting time for the company, it gives me great comfort that HP is in such talented and steady hands."

An interim replacement for Whitworth has not been named yet. HP's board is scheduled to discuss the appointment of a new chairman during its next board meeting.

Hewlett-Packard's board of directors now stands at 11 members, including Whitman, Lane, and venture capital titan Marc Andreessen.

PayPal puts India on hold

 The numerous and inhibiting regulations issued by the Reserve Bank of India has made the service gradually withdraw from the country

Any company that had its biggest development centre worldwide headquartered in a country that also happens to house 1.3 billion prospective customers would consider it a foregone conclusion that the two scenarios could neatly coalesce into one gigantic opportunity. Instead, the company has decided to hold back any further plans, after having withdrawn from the country in phases.

The outfit in question is PayPal, one of the world's largest and most famous online payment systems owned by eBay. The main reason for PayPal's reticence is because of regulations mandated by the ultimate governing body that presides over financial matters in India, the Reserve Bank of India, which looks at PayPal as a quasi financial body. 

PayPal's service allows anyone with an account to hold cash in it indefinitely and this is something that the Reserve Bank doesn't like at all. Essentially, being able to receive payments for services from abroad would also allow Indians to simply hold cash in their accounts and pay for goods and services online, thereby allowing them to evade income taxes entirely. 

So what the RBI decided to do was to revamp their allowance for PayPal users, from several thousand dollars at a time, to a paltry US$500 per transaction starting March 1st of last year. If that wasn't bad enough, all account holders would have to transfer their cash to an Indian bank account within seven days, effectively closing off the undeclared income loophole. (The service would auto-transfer the cash if it languished in there for over that period.) In other words, Paypal, from functioning as a wallet, has become a mere payment gateway in the country. 

To make things worse, perhaps even absurd, was another rule that to make payments using PayPal you would have to transfer it first to the service using your credit card.

However, in a boost to Indian merchants, the RBI in July last year allowed registered merchants to receive US$10,000 per transaction, bumping it up from the earlier limit of US$3,000 (of course these merchants would have, by then, furnished all relevant details such as PAN numbers and local bank details).

But all of the other stipulations, such as the 7-day rule remained in place. So it's no surprise that the service decided, gradually, to simply pull out rather than offer something half-baked to the Indian public.

So while PayPal expanded its service to 10 other countries this month, bringing its tally to 203, it remains absent from one of the fastest growing and largest e-commerce markets in the world. "It's on the plans, but (I) can't give you a definite answer to announce that this is the timeline or strategy at this point," Sam Hamilton, vice- president of data technology at PayPal, said in the Mint article. 

Some would say that in a country prone to fraud and income tax evasion, the RBI is simply doing what it needs to in order to ensure that it—and foreign players—don’t facilitate law-breaking.

On the other hand, one wonders whether a more elegant solution isn't available so that the evolution of different kinds of payment systems, which the country desperately needs, is not stymied.
