Although the data is gratifying, but due to the characteristics and limitations of mobile terminals, many traditional internet profitability is no longer applicable to mobile internet, mobile Internet is currently facing the biggest problem is the flow of cash is difficult to make money is not easy. For example, Sina Weibo and Tencent Micro-letter two mobile internet applications, the industry predicts that in the next few years will be a double micro war, but also in the hearts of a big question mark: they can find a good profit model?

Millet Mobile phone CEO Lei
Millet mobile phone CEO Lei, was a teenager famous "It model Workers", now known as "rebels", because he not only claimed to be a loyal fan of jobs, but also imitate the iphone model, to create a soft and hard one of the millet mobile phone. Lei told the Huaxi Metropolitan newspaper that he was eager to create world-class technology companies like Steve Jobs, and that future handsets must be pc-based and eventually replace computers.

Lei that in 2013, the mobile Internet platform will be more significant, this trend will be more fully reflected this year. Mobile Internet O2O (online on line) mode not only will not perish, and will be more powerful, the user's Word-of-mouth communication will play a more prominent role in the product.
"However, it is still too early for the mobile internet to talk about profitability," he said.

For smartphones in the competition this year, he believes that Apple and Samsung in the high-end mainstream market will face the strong competition of domestic mobile phones, Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, Millet, oppo and other excellent domestic mobile phones will be in the traditional market barriers ripped a hole, occupy their own place.
