アパレルメーカーの本音は「アウトレットに出店したくない」!?

デフレを追い風に、大手デベロッパーなどが参入し、その勢力を拡大してきたアウトレットモール。いつの間にか、ファミリーやカップルが週末のひと時をアウトレットで過ごすことが定番となった。だが、これまで順風満帆な成長を遂げてきたこの業界も成長は鈍化し、曲がり角を迎えている……。
2012年「全国アウトレットモール番付」発表！ 今年開業の木更津は？ - 日経トレンディ（8月11日）素材展示会
日経トレンディが発表している全国の主要アウトレットの実力を示したアウトレット番付。買い物、飲食施設、交通手段、付帯設備などの面から本当に魅力的なアウトレットを格付けしている。調査の結果、東の横綱には「御殿場プレミアムアウトレット」、西の横綱には「三井アウトレットパーク　ジャズドリーム長島」が輝いた。
今年4月にオープンした「三井アウトレットパーク木更津」は東の小結に、プレミアムアウトレットの西の旗艦店「神戸三田プレミアムアウトレット」は西の大関にランクインしている。
現在アウトレットモールの数は全国に30以上あり、特に首都圏、関西圏では飽和状態を迎えつつある。テナントだけでなく、立地や設備面などでほかとは違う魅力を発信し、差別化を図る必要に迫られているようだ。
不況下の小売り優等生・アウトレットに異変 - 東洋経済オンライン（3月15日）
少し前の記事になるが、アウトレット業界の変化を掴んだ記事を紹介。この5年間で1.5倍、6000億円以上の市場規模を誇るアウトレット業界だが、その大半を「2強」といわれる三井不動産とプレミアムアウトレットを運営するチェルシージャパンが占めている。全国にアウトレットモールが誕生し、消費者も足を伸ばす生活スタイルは一般化。すると、アパレルメーカーではいわゆる「アウトレット品」が品薄となり、アウトレット向けの専門商品が半数を占めるという実態も……。
この結果、アパレル側がアウトレットへの出店を渋る傾向も見え始めている。ただし2強の集客力とその魅力は圧倒的。アパレル担当者も「ほかのモールから撤退しても（2強には）出店したい」と本音を明かしている。
関空利用の外国人を取り込め　りんくうアウトレット増設 - SankeiBiz（7月11日）
平成12年にオープンした、古株のアウトレットモール「りんくうアウトレット」がこの7月に3回目の増床を行った。関西国際空港の対岸という立地や、関空へのLCC就航などを追い風に、アジア各地の外国人観光客を取り込みたい考えだ。新店舗としてはバーバリーやセイコーなどといった外国人観光客に人気のブランドを誘致。案内所には中国語堪能なスタッフを配置しており、外国人の利用を現在の5倍に拡大するという目標を掲げている。はたして、外国人というブルーオーシャンの気持ちを掴むことができるのか、りんくうの成否が、これからのアウトレットの姿を左右することになりそうだ。
【登場！インタビュー】チェルシージャパン　代表取締役社長　山中拓郎さん - LIVING東京（7月5日）
「プレミアムアウトレット」を手がけるチェルシージャパン代表取締役社長の山中拓郎氏を直撃した本記事。7年間の海外生活で経験した「ロサンゼルスやニューヨークのアウトレットで味わったワクワク感を、多くの人に伝えたい」という熱い思いを語り、本場アメリカとは違い飲食店を充実させることで長時間滞在を促すという日本ならではの工夫も明かす。そんな山中氏の趣味は、もちろんショッピング。「良い物を長く使うのがポリシー」という社長だが、はたして自身のアウトレットで買い物しているのだろうか……？

iPad Could Help Self-Publishers Kick Open Doors

The IPAD 3 CASE, Apple's highly anticipated tablet computer, hit stores Saturday. The sleek, lightweight aluminum and glass device is equipped with a 9.7-inch touch screen and has no keyboard. The IPAD 4 CASE  has access to all the usual entertainment available on iTunes — music, movies and TV.

But along with the iPad, Apple is also launching its own digital book business. E-books on the iPad may help give the world of self-publishing a boost, authors and consultants say.

The Internet and new digital technologies have already opened up the self-publishing industry. Take a writer like Mark Morford. Ten years ago, if Morford had written a book, he would probably have sold it to a major publisher. He's got 50,000 regular readers for his provocative column on the Web site of the San Francisco Chronicle. He took on the recent controversy around school textbooks in Texas with a column entitled "Dear Texas: Please Shut Up. Sincerely, History."

He also has a forthcoming book, The Daring Spectacle, a collection of his columns. Initially, Morford did meet with agents, and he had a lot of interest from traditional publishers.

"I encountered a lot of excitement for the book," he says. "Agents and publishers alike said, 'Yes, this is a great idea. We like it.' "

But the book deals they offered were not what they once were. There were no more big advances, and no national book reading tours with stays in swanky hotels. Morford says he was told, "That whole idea has sort of vanished, has sort of gone away. There is no more marketing money."

Morford began to wonder if he even needed a big publishing house. He looked around and discovered a burgeoning industry of companies that help authors publish their own books in any format they like, from the traditional printed book to e-books and Amazon's Kindle, and now for the iPad. Morford decided to publish with a company called BookMasters.

As Morford sees it, he's got a column and a core of fans, so he can do his own marketing. And if he needs an example, he can look to other successful self-published authors like Tim Chou.

Chou is pretty different from Morford. He's a geek. His recent book is called Cloud, and he's not talking about the fluffy white kind. Chou's book is about the future of online computing. Not exactly a pager-turner for most people.

Chou might have tried and succeeded in getting the interest of a traditional publisher, but after he did the math, he decided against it. He points out that on the Internet, the average book retails for $25. But, he says, "the author gets maybe $1 or $2 a book."

Chou found a company called Lulu.com that charges nothing upfront and will only print a book when someone buys one. But if they do, Chou says, "in the Lulu context, that same book, I'm going to get $10-12 per book."

Chou has sold nearly 10,000 copies of Cloud through Lulu. If you do the math, that means he's made more than six figures.

Lulu.com CEO Bob Young had authors like Chou in mind when he founded his company. Young saw that big publishing houses needed to sell tens of thousands of copies of a book to make a profit, whereas Lulu and its authors make money even when the company sells one book.

According to Young, the question that animated Lulu.com was, "If the Internet, as a medium, allows us to connect each of us with everyone else, why, as an author, can't I get my book to my audience without having to ask the permission of the publishing industry?"

Chou says Lulu made the whole process incredibly easy. "In essence," says Chou, "if you can create a Word document, you can create a book."

Lulu will also help authors find an editor if they need one, and it offers design templates and marketing advice.

Lulu books are available on e-readers like the Kindle, and they will be available on the iPad. OTTERBOX IPAD 3 CASE   books will be in color and have interactive features like videos and links to related Web sites. Michael Shatzkin, who consults with publishers about digital books, says the iPad might make self-published books even more competitive with books from the big publishing houses.

"The biggest thing that a publisher provides is the ability to put physical books on bookstore shelves," Shatzkin says. "And as that becomes a less important component of the overall commercial proposition, the leverage that the publisher has or the reason that an author would to go a publisher is seriously diminished."

Self-publishing is even starting to draw established authors like John Edgar Wideman. Wideman, whose work deals with serious themes like race, class and alienation, has won the prestigious PEN/Faulkner Award twice, and he was a recipient of a coveted MacArthur "genius" grant.

When Wideman put together Briefs, a collection of what he calls "microstories," he decided to experiment with a release on Lulu.com. In part, Wideman says, he was just sick of the way traditional publishers treated serious fiction.

"Cookbooks and novels get the same treatment," he laments. "Fighting for space in chain stores, that works for some kinds of books. But I don't think it works for fiction."

Wideman says if his first experience on Lulu goes well, he may use it to publish a full novel.

Live Blogging Apple Unveils The iPad

3:13 PM: It is operating on an iPhone OS. New version. Not final software.

3:07: OK. I just touched it. I especially like the way it lets me use a pinching motion to navigate and open into different pages and close out.

It does not have Flash and it does not allow you to run more than one app at at time. It does have a built-in mic, but no phone. At least not yet.

2:57 PM: Notable is the lack of information about publishing deals.

2:56 PM: I'm waiting in line now to see IT. I have never seen this much hype at an apple event. Even for the iPhone. There are media trucks everywhere.

2:37 PM: I'm about to go out and try one. I will send missives from there. The event is over.

2:31 PM: Thus far there has been no talk of the much-rumored video chat on this and it seems as if the event is coming to a close.

2:29 PM: It is OLED back lit and that is something the Kindle doesn't have. You can turn pages by using your fingers.

2:28 PM: I'm trying to get a handle on book pricing. It appears that the books are priced between $12.99 and $17.99, but there hasn't been any official announcement.

2:26 PM: The virtual keyboard is close in size to a real one. It will be interesting to see how it feels.

2:18 PM: Thousands of books are available on the iPad says Jobs. Now for the price.

2:17 PM: You can activate on the iPad and there is no contract. You can cancel when you want. This is in in the U.S. They say international use is not in place. They use GSM SIMs, so they should work because they are unlocked.

2:15 PM: Every iPad has WiFi and it will have 3G. AT&T (Sob ... ) is offering two plans: 250 MB of data for $14.99, and an unlimited plan for $29.99.

1:59 PM: They use the epub format. In the background I see prices like 17 bucks.

1:58 PM: You use your finger to turn the pages. You can navigate to the table of contents and touch chapter you want. The author can add videos and pics. Still no talk of price.

1:56 PM: Jobs shows a vitual book shelf. It slides open to a book store. The covers appear on the bookshelves.

1:55 PM: There will be a book store. Five of the largest publishers are on board.

1:54 PM: Steve Jobs returns to the stage. They are done with apps. Here come eBooks. Jobs praises Amazon and says they will stand on their shoulders and go further with iBooks.

1:52 PM: They are showing off watching a live baseball game. It let's you see stats updated live while you watch.

1:49 PM: They are introducing Travis Boatman from Electronic Arts. He's showing off a game. They expect to bring all EA games from iPhone to the iPad but the pad will bring new things. You can use the pad like a steering wheel. You can use fingers to shift gears in a virtual car.

1:46 PM: They are showing off brushes, which let you paint pictures on the iPad. It let you paint with your finger!

1:44 PM: It will break out into sections. They have only been working on the app for three weeks; it's clear they didn't have much time.

1:43 PM: Jennifer Brook of the Times shows it off. Tap to change the number of columns and watch slide shows.

1:42 PM: Martin Nisenholtz from The New York Times is talking about how the will set up a NYT's app.

1:40 PM: Mark Mickey from Game Loft is here to show how they will use pad as gaming device. Next up The New York Times.

1:37 PM: If a developer wants, they can re-work an app specifically for the OTTERBOX IPAD 4 CASE .

1:34 PM: He's launching a game called SnoCross. The graphics look fabulous.

1:32 PM: You will be able to run all apps on the App Store on it. Forstall launches Facebook. It looks nice.

1:32 PM: Scott Forstall of apple software is on stage now.

1:31 PM He says it has 10 hours of battery life. He can go from SF to Tokyo and watch movies the whole way. It's made of aluminum and glass.

1:29 PM: That gives you a little bit of an overview of what the IPAD 3 CASE can do, he says. It is a-half-inch thin, has a 9.7-inch display and weighs one-and-a-half pounds. 1 GHz processor and up to 64 gigabytes of RAM.

1:27 PM: He's watching the latest Star Trek movie. And now he's watching Up.

1:26 PM: Now he's showing off a nice video — in landscape mode — from YouTube of a dog surfing on waves.

1:25 PM: Jobs uses Google Maps to find sushi places in downtown San Francisco.

1:23 PM: It does look like an iPod touch on steroids, though. It has the same button on the bottom that brings you home. He's playing music: The Grateful Dead's Friend of the Devil. Jobs is such a baby boomer.

1:21 PM: There is a nice bar at the bottom that lets you glide through the pictures. Much like iPhoto, it has a map that will tell you where you took each photos. So, say, if you tap on the map ,pictures you took in Paris will pop up.

1:20 PM: Now he is showing off photos. You can flick through. It will grab data from a PC or Mac.

1:19 PM: Jobs is showing off e-mail. He appears to be using Outlook. The on-screen keyboard pops up to write mail.

1:17 PM: You can watch media in landscape mode or upright.

1:15 PM: The IPAD 3 CASE has a glass screen and black trim. It's about the size of a hardback novel.

1:13 PM:: It has an almost life-size virtual keyboard. It has a calendar, address book, Google Maps, music and it has the iTunes store built right in.

1:12 PM: Jobs is displaying The New York Times and Facebook in his demo.

1:11 PM: The rumors were right. It's about a 10-inch screen. You can browse the Web.

1:10 PM: It's called the iPad.

1:08 PM: Jobs just descibed Apple as a mobile-devices company. That's the first time I have heard him descibe Apple that way. Now he's showing a Wall Street Journal pic of Moses coming down from a mountain with tablets. He laughs. But that is just about where we are.

1:06 PM: Jobs says they now have 140-thousand apps in the app store.

1:04 PM: Jobs looks thin, as he has for some time.

1:02 PM ET: The lights are dimming and press and VIPs are packed into a theatre in downtown San Francisco. Steve Jobs has just stepped on stage. He got a standing ovatation. He says that they will intorduce a truly revolutionary device today and that they just sold their 250 millionth iPod.

Apple is expected to announce a tablet device at an event scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Laura Sydell is at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco awaiting the start. Check this entry for live updates.

The iPad Just One More Gadget To Lug Around

I'm a "pad" skeptic. Yeah, I saw Steve Jobs on stage with the shiniest, newest, coolest tablet computer out there, but I couldn't help but ask myself, where does this fit into my life?

Here's the thing, for a long time, all I've wanted was a device that consolidated all the electronics I carry around on a regular basis. In the old days — that's to say five years ago — it used to be a phone and an iPod, a PDA and a laptop and, if it was a longer trip, a digital still camera and a camcorder. It meant a hulking book bag full of cables and chargers and devices that needed their own special pouch to keep them from getting hurt.

The iPhone definitively got rid of three of those devices. And to some extent, I no longer feel compelled to lug around any cameras. That made the iPhone revolutionary.

But what does the IPAD 3 CASE tablet do for me?

It's a reading device with no camera. It surfs the Web and at, first glance, doesn't appear to be Flash enabled. It's got a good size screen but, in the end, is really very much a super-sized iPod Touch. It plays media but its capacity is limited. The largest flash drive is 64 gig, so, it's not as though I can dump my photos midway through a trip or that I can store a boatload of videos.

I'll concede that a sophisticated, elegant book market is exciting, especially in the educational space where it no longer makes sense to carry around a few 500-page books. And from a business perspective, the Keynote functionality is brilliant: presentations can be much more dramatic.

But all of this brings me back to my initial question, a very consumer-centric one at that: The tablet is cool and sleek but in the end, it does little to literally lighten my load.

For the most part, I still think I'd prefer to do most of my reading on the iPhone and that may well be because my eyes haven't gone bad, yet.

Also, it feels as though the tablet fits into a nowhere land between my iPhone and my laptop. I still need my laptop for significant tasks (especially because at least in this iteration, the IPAD 4 CASE  doesn't allow you to multi-task) and my iPhone is light enough, portable enough and powerful enough that in a pinch it lets me look up restaurants and even capture OK quality video. It lets me check my e-mail and respond quickly, without having to reach into a book bag. What would I go for on a plane? The phone in my pocket or the OTTERBOX IPAD 4 CASE in the overhead bin? With my laptop, I can type full steam without the ergonomic issues the tablet introduces. (How do you type and hold the iPad at the same time?)

For me, what it comes down to is this: Do I think the tablet will improve my life? No. It might make it slightly easier to read e-books and slightly easier to surf the Web. It may even — finally — bring the charm of the printed newspaper to a digital medium, but will it improve my life? No. If anything, it just means that I'll have one more device to synchronize into my digital life.

Live Chat What Else iPad Talk

I'll be hosting a live chat to talk about my impressions of the Apple OTTERBOX IPAD 3 CASE  and to answer any questions about it on Digital Savant at 2:30 p.m. EDT / 1:30 p.m. CDT today.

We'll be simul-chatting here using CoverItLive below. Did you buy an IPAD 4 CASE ? Are you sick of the hype and vowing never to get one? Come let us know.

White Macbooks Being Phased Out

Since the introduction of Aluminum Unibody Macbooks, Apple has begun to slowly phase out the previous generation of the Polycarbonate White Macbooks. There's still one revamped white Macbook available on Apple's online store, but the inventory is noticeably few than before, especially in the company's refurbished deals section.

Apple usually has an adequate stock of certified refurbished macbook Pro case under their Special Deals section. These notebooks come from either returned or cancelled customer orders. They're refurbished by Apple and repackaged for sale again. Lately, the number of refurbished white Macbooks has diminished tremendously. One will pop up every so now and then, roughly once a week. The black polycarbonate Macbooks have all but vanished from Apple's store listing.

There are definitely distinct differences between the current generation of aluminum unibody Macbooks and the previous generation of polycarbonate Macbooks. The obvious distinction is the material used for the system enclosure.

Another key difference, one that is point of contention for many Macbook users, is the display. Current generation Macbooks use a glossy display where as the previous generation of Macbooks used a matte display. Glossy displays are suppose to give uses more vibrant colors and higher contrast ratios. However, many argue that glossy displays also reflect too much light, often to the point where it's hard to read the screen. Thus a significant group of Mac users still prefer the old matte displays found in the polycarbonate macbook Pro case.

As supplies of polycarbonate Macbooks dwindle from Apple's inventory, users might want to consider purchasing one now before they're all out. If the extremely limited supply of refurbished white macbook Air case is an indicator of current inventory levels, then users don't have much time left to purchase one.

The New MacBook Pro MB991LLA - Reviewed

The New MacBook Pro MB991LL/A - Reviewed

The Apple macbook Pro case MB991LL/A is one of Apple's latest 13.3-inch laptop models. It comes with a powerful 2.53Ghz processor, a 250GB hard drive for storage and 4GB of RAM. Like most Apple laptops, this model uses the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card for graphics rendering. It runs on the new Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard OS.

Big Improvements: This new model is actually a little cheaper that the older model for last year. There is nothing more delightful than an upgrade in specs that comes with a price drop! Another major improvement can be seen in the laptop's battery life. It now can last up to 7 hours on one charge. Other new features include an improved screen, a new SD card slot, a FireWire port and the inclusion of iLife 09 applications. The 13.3-inch edge-to-edge display screen is a LED back-lit screen that is much more energy efficient that the older model. Even the keyboard has back-lighting to enable you to type under low light conditions.

Not So Good: Although I am a big fan of Apple laptops, like everything else, the Apple macbook Air case MB991LL/A laptop does have a couple of flaws. For instance, the aluminum casing seems to be prone to scratches. If you plan to travel a lot with the laptop, it's best to get a protective macbook pro case for it. If only this model had a Blu-ray drive. With Blu-ray discs becoming more and more popular by the day, it is strange that Apple did not get ahead of the game (as it usually does) by putting in Blu-ray drives in their computers.

Conclusion: All in all, the improvements made on the Apple macbook Air case MB991LL/A far outweighs its shortcomings. Despite its flaws, this laptop model is actually one of the best laptop models this year. The combination of a great battery life, great specs, good design and a great OS makes it a formidable laptop.

Where to buy MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.66GHz

This is my first Mac, I've seen for the purchase of a Dell XPS thinking, but according to research and that you do not really blue ray (because I do not have PS3), the Mac is the better choice for me. I am a student of architecture, the macbook Pro case was the obvious i7. I went to the 14.5 "Dell Inspiron with a 15.4-inch Mac and I was afraid that it in large quantities, it is just perfect, it is a little difficult at all (especially the cover bacon) than other teams are compared, but I think it is as light as a feather. I fear that the operating system is difficult to accept because I have Windows my whole life, but all the lessons from Apple's website I was let down in a very short time, it is very intuitive!

I have many posts that about how hot a Mac complained to read, so I am very worried. If you try to work with Photoshop, you can not see any difference to my old Dell Inspiron. I'm protecting a speck case, maybe the heat? But the "problem" hot does not bother me at all, because as I said before, global warming, but there is no real difference between using the old laptop and other portable computers. I agree with some critics say that digging the front edges and cuffs a bit "boring, but I use for some time.

It annoys me that Apple is doing an HDMI connection for high-end models, but the $ 15 card. Also, the magazine. Wires look and feel much stronger than previous versions. The battery lasts 8 hours, as promised, but still better than normal computers in this area. If you are constantly on the screen (with the "caffeine") and the average brightness, WLAN , and the keyboard lights up takes about 5 hours.

It is important to speed. Work on 3D models is easy! This makes the ride for 1-2 hours old laptop just five minutes by car takes amazing!
In short, this is a good team and it's worth the money. I do not know why I waited so long . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOVR6M2

The feeling when using Sony DSLR A900 camera.

1. Sony DSLR A900 camera, the AF less well when compared with the Nikon D3/D700.
When in hunting the AF on A900 need more timeto lock the subjects. Specially at low contras.

2. Details and sharpness, dynamic range and the color results from that two are very satisfying.

3. A900 + Zeiss Lens Cleaning 24-70 + 135/1.8 have a strong resistance (body and its battery).

4. The monitor of A900 is too light and must be set to -2 if the setting are 0 because will display the captured image over exp around 0.3 - 0.5 stop.

5. Anti-dust system in its A900 is very good. better than the IPAD MINI CASE

6. The poor thing in this Alpha System is the FLASH .... Alpha flash technology is very backward. Far away with the Nikon.

Depend on my experience, this camera still excellent compared with others as not much important thing disadvantages.
