Xiaomis global operations vice president Hugo Barra speaks at a press conference
Xiaomi Mike Hoffman Jersey , China's largest smartphone company, will begin selling headphones, smart wristbands and other accessories online in the United States in coming months, taking its first tentative step onto Apple Inc's home turf without its signature Mi mobile devices.

The company also said it is close to securing a manufacturing partner in Brazil, which will help it skirt punishing tariffs on imported electronics when it begins sales in Latin America's largest economy in the first half of this year.

Xiaomi Jean-Gabriel Pageau Jersey , a five-year-old upstart whose name means "Little Rice," came out of nowhere to become China's fastest-selling mobile brand. It has been rapidly expanding its global footprint through direct, online sales.

The company was valued at $45 billion (29 billion pounds) in a December funding round that drew investors ranging from Singapore's sovereign wealth fund to a private capital firm backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd co-founder Jack Ma.

Its Mi devices, which scored with Chinese users because of their low cost and the company's heavy reliance on user interaction and feedback, are now sold online across Asia Craig Anderson Jersey , including most recently India.

Brazil marks the company's first foray with smartphones outside of its home continent. Global operations vice president Hugo Barra said Xiaomi intends to begin selling its phones there in the first half of this year.

The company is in "extremely advanced discussions" with at least half a dozen manufacturing partners there, Barra, a former Google Inc executive, said without revealing names, which will help it side-step a roughly 60 percent tax on foreign electronics.

The industry is particularly curious about Xiaomi's potential to make a dent in the United States Ryan Dzingel Jersey , which is the world's biggest mobile market in dollar terms but one where phone sales are controlled by telecoms carriers and where Apple holds sway.

Co-founder and President Lin Bin told reporters on Thursday that Xiaomi will launch its first online sales site, Mi, in a few months, directly selling items from earphones to smart bands to American consumers.

The company is eschewing bigger-ticket items like phones and tablets for now partly because of the United States' carrier-sales and phone subsidy structure, which eliminates Xiaomi's cost advantage. More generally Nate Thompson Jersey , Bin and Barra talked about the time and effort needed to tailor its MIUI Android-based operating systems for individual markets and obtain certification, among other things.

Xiaomi's main intention for now is to engage American consumers and try and build a community there the same way it has in China and India - through fan events, interaction with users on social media such as a dedicated Facebook page, and gradually coming to know both local preferences and building its brand.

For example, Barra told Reuters how Xiaomi might put its self-branded headphones in front of U.S. audiophiles and tweak the product depending on their detailed feedback.

"We're keen on being in the conversation in the U.S. Zack Smith Jersey ," he told reporters.

July 2010 seems to be a month stormed with new car launches. Over five new cars would be launched and one of the most notable entries would be that of the Vento. Volkswagen has not disappointed the Indian consumer who had been waiting for the car?s unveiling. The Vento, which is the sedan version of the Polo, has been unveiled on the 6th of July, 2010 in India. It has made its entry as a premium entry level sedan. Every inch of this car is believed to be designed keeping in mind the needs of the Indian consumer. Let's have a look at the Vento offering.

The VW Vento is all set to beat the competition. It is going to real tough as there were other recent launches in the very same segment; the Hyundai Verna Transform, Honda City and Maruti Suzuki SX4 have just entered the road.

The Volkswagen Vento will be available in both petrol and diesel variants. As the Maruti Suzuki SX4 and Honda City come in just petrol variants Tom Pyatt Jersey , the Vento has an advantage in this regard. The very same 105-bhp 1.6 litre engine that powers the BS III version of the Jetta will be powering the Vento while the diesel variant is believed to carry a 1.6-litre, common rail four-cylinder engine that is capable of churning out 105 bhp. This would be the same engine that the cars of the Polo Cup Racers in India are going to flaunt. The racers? cars, however, will be fine tuned to deliver 130 bhp. Both petrol and diesel engines will be mated to manual gearboxes while the petrol variants will also come with the automatic transmission option.

The Polo as a hatchback is very spacious and the sedan version of that car can certainly boast of more space, improved seating with better shoulder and headroom. The Vento also has new controls in the instrument console and the steering wheel comes in a new design with more chrome inserts than what was seen in the Polo hatchback.

The auto maker Bobby Ryan Jersey , Volkswagen says that the Vento will be equipped with features that it felt best suited for the Indian roads. It will come with an excellent suspension that offers great drivability on the Indian roads, a strong air conditioning system that takes care of extreme weather conditions which are very common in the country, convenient legroom including comfortable rear seats, high ground clearance and more for the fat Indian families. The Vento is high on safety too. It carries an array of features like Anti Braking Systems (ABS) and airbags and even a strong horn, that?s really necessary for safe driving in India.

The Vento will be assembled at Volkswagen?s much hyped Pune plant in Chakan. It will be built together with the Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Fabia hatchbacks.
