But consequently, minibus ride can cause its own sweet memories, especially for those who met his soul mate in the minibus.

When plant in Japan, the home of minibus, no longer produce spare parts, minibus in Indonesia is still able to survive because there are many workshops that are able to make this tiruannya.Saat minibus spares already eliminated many of the city transportation programs because they are too old, not safe again and smoke cause pollution. But in many places minibus still able to survive and indelible.

History of Sony Ericsson

History of Sony Ericsson. Sony Ericsson is a joint venture established on October 1, 2001 by the Japanese consumer electronics company Sony Corporation and the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson to manufacture mobile phones. Another reason for this venture is to combine Sony's consumer electronics expertise with Ericsson's technological knowledge in the communications sector.

Ericsson:

In the United States, Ericsson partnered with General Electric in the early nineties, primarily to establish a U.S. presence and brand recognition. Ericsson, which had been in the cellular phone market for decades has struggled maximal but still earn huge losses. This is mainly due to the Philips factory fire in New Mexico that produces chips for their phones that cause delays in production and also due to the inability to produce cheap phones like Nokia.

In August 2001, the two companies (Sony and Ericsson) has completed the merger announced in April. The company has a workforce of 3,500 employees early. Merging the two companies did not go smoothly, Ericsson's market share actually fell and in August 2002, Ericsson said it would stop making mobile phones and end its partnership with Sony if the business continued to disappoint, however, in January 2003, both companies said they would inject more money into the joint venture in a bid to stem the losses.

Sony Ericsson's strategy was to release new models of mobile phones that have the capabilities like digital photos and other multimedia capabilities such as downloading and viewing video clips and personal information management capabilities. For this purpose, released several new models which had built-in digital camera and color screen is a novelty at the time. However, the joint venture continued to make bigger losses despite booming sales. Target to make a profit from its first year to 2002 was postponed to 2003 to second half of 2003. This Perusaah failed in its mission to become the top seller of multimedia handsets and was in fifth-place and struggling in 2005. Concentration of Sony Ericsson mobile phones are currently in production include: music, camera, business (web and email), design, eco-friendly, and budget focused phones. Six largest categories are:

W Series Walkman is a music phone Sony Ericsson brand, launched in 2005.

Sony Ericsson GreenHeart, first introduced in 2009, heralded by the Sony Ericsson J105i Naite and C901 GreenHeart. It is focused on environmentally friendly theme, but still featured with recent mobile technology and multimedia capability. It is mainly uses eco-friendly materials and features apps.

Sony Ericsson's future plans are no longer using the Symbian mobile operating system. Now, mobile phone vendors who had tried to dim the shine back to focus work on phones based on Google's Android. Demkian statement noted one executive Sony Ericsson, Aldo Liguori. "Looking ahead, we have no plans to develop another Symbian-based devices (quoted from VentureBeat). Until the year 2010, Sony Ericsson is still using Symbian OS for besutannya Vivaz series ranks. However, these vendors could have put it to Android any time-as well as the Xperia X10. However, Sony Ericsson will remain a member of the Symbian Foundation-a nonprofit organization that addresses compatibility antarmanufaktur for Symbian OS adopters.

History Of Aqua in Indonesia

EARLY HISTORY OF ESTABLISHMENT

Aqua Group was founded by the late Tirto Utomo, a native of Wonosobo in 1973. Tirto Utomo or Kwa Sien Biauw (born in Wonosobo, March 9, 1930 - died March 16, 1994 at the age of 64 years) is pengusahaIndonesia. Graduated from Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia is known as the founder of Aqua Golden Mississippi in 1973. On March 16, 1994, he died and was buried in the cemetery of Chinese citizens in the immediate vicinity Krishna, WonosoboPadahal Tirto Utomo also previously worked at Pertamina. But to focus on his business, he give up his job at Pertamina.

Idea of ​​establishing a drinking water company Tirto arise when working as an employee of Pertamina in the early 1970s. When it Tirto duty to entertain delegates a U.S. company. But dinner was interrupted when his wife heads of delegations had diarrhea caused by consuming water that is not clean. Tirto later learned that her guests are coming from Western countries are not used to drinking boiled water, but water that has been sterilized. Initially a cynic with Tirto Utomo idea to sell bottled water price per bottle is initially equal to the price of 1 liter of premium gasoline. However Tirto Utomo sure, in the future Indonesia will lack clean water ready to drink, so that this idea continues to move on and not think about her sarcastic comments. Aqua is the market initially strangers in Indonesia, because they believe bottled water is more secure than sterile water and soil and water taps. By establishing a drinking water plant with sophisticated machines in Bekasi, so foreigners have more confidence with this drink bottled water.

Tirto and his brothers began to learn how to process packaged drinking water. He asked his brother, Slamet Utomo for internships in Polaris, a bottled water company that when it has been operating 16 years in Thailand. Not surprisingly, at first resembles Aqua Polaris products ranging from glass bottle shape, brand water treatment machines, to machine washing and filling water bottles. Derived from the Latin aqua meaning water, which was originally sold to a stranger, but then Tirto Utomo Indonesian people see the market also has the potential, so he sold the small size bottled water and placed in bus terminals in Jakarta and surrounding areas, and along the north coast of Central Java. This turned out to be successful, make Aqua demand by drivers of buses and passengers, as well as other communities. This shows, that the people of Indonesia desperately needs a clean bottle of mineral water.

Willy Sidhartha, sales and the first factory engine assemblers Aqua, is the first to improve the distribution system Aqua.Ia start with creating the concept of special delivery door to door which led to the direct delivery system Aqua. The concept of using shipping boxes and gallon-gallon using a fleet of specially designed Aqua consistently make sales to rise up to eventual sales figures Aqua reach two trillion dollars in 1985.

In 1984, a second factory was established in Pandaan AQUA, East Java in an attempt to get closer to consumers in the region. A year later, Aqua product development occurs in the form of 220 ml PET packs. This development makes Aqua products become more qualified and more safe for consumption.

In 1995, Aqua became the first mineral water plant which implement production system in line at the factory Mekarsari. Processing and manufacturing bottled water AQUA done simultaneously. Results in-line system is newly created AQUA bottle can be filled with clean water immediately at the end of the production process, so that the production process to be more hygienic.

In 1998, due to intense competition and the emergence of new competitors, Lisa Tirto as owner of Aqua Golden Mississippi after the death of her husband Tirto Utomo, Danone sold its shares to the Group on 4 September 1998. The acquisition is considered appropriate after some way development is not strong enough to save Aqua from the threat of new competitors. This contributed to an increase in product quality and put AQUA as a manufacturer of bottled mineral water (bottled water) which is the largest in Indonesia. In 2000, coinciding with the turn of the millennium, launches Aqua-Danone Aqua labeled products.
