<p>We&#8217;ve heard of demand reaching fever pitch but this was far more sinister as sales of iPad 2 sparks a mini riot in Beijing with a glass door also being broken as part of the violence in the top Apple store, according to AP report. </p>
<p>The outburst happened in store located in the Sanlitun district in the Chinese capital, after a non Chinese employee allegedly pushed and beat crowds suspected of jumping the long lines queuing up get their hands on the iPad 2 which went on sale there on Friday, for the first time. </p>
<p>The crowd exploded in anger at the beatings and broke bottles and other devices in the incident. </p>
<p>And queues are no laughing matter apparently, with reports suggesting people are even selling their place in the line such is the feverish demand for Apple&#8217;s second ever tab device. </p>
<p>The Apple store also closed early on Saturday to avoid further madness inspired by the much sought after device, local news reports suggest. </p>
<p>The release also inspired long queues here with many Sydneysiders lining up over night and over the next week, when it was released in March. </p>
<div class="NFBreak" style=page-break-before:always contenteditable="false">&nbsp;</div>
<p>Chinese buyers have also begun selling the device online for a profit, such is the enthusiasm for the iPad 2. </p>

<p>We&#8217;ve heard of demand reaching fever pitch but this was far more sinister as sales of iPad 2 sparks a mini riot in Beijing with a glass door also being broken as part of the violence in the top Apple store, according to AP report. </p>
<p>The outburst happened in store located in the Sanlitun district in the Chinese capital, after a non Chinese employee allegedly pushed and beat crowds suspected of jumping the long lines queuing up get their hands on the iPad 2 which went on sale there on Friday, for the first time. </p>
<p>The crowd exploded in anger at the beatings and broke bottles and other devices in the incident. </p>
<p>And queues are no laughing matter apparently, with reports suggesting people are even selling their place in the line such is the feverish demand for Apple&#8217;s second ever tab device. </p>
<p>The Apple store also closed early on Saturday to avoid further madness inspired by the much sought after device, local news reports suggest. </p>
<p>The release also inspired long queues here with many Sydneysiders lining up over night and over the next week, when it was released in March. </p>
<div class="NFBreak" style=page-break-before:always contenteditable="false">&nbsp;</div>
<p>Chinese buyers have also begun selling the device online for a profit, such is the enthusiasm for the iPad 2. </p>

As a manufacturer of Bluetooth consumer products, Parrot welcomes this eye-catching way to help put Bluetooth technology into the lives of more consumers worldwide,&#8221; said Parrot Inc. President and COO, Edward Valdez.</P><P>Bluetooth SIG said that in the future, consumers can look to find all applicable icons printed on the package of a device as it is encouraging all manufacturers of Bluetooth devices to immediately begin using the Experience Icons on product packaging.&nbsp; </P><P>More icons are due to be released later this year, but the icons currently available to illustrate five functions of Bluetooth wireless technology are:</P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=50 height=40><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060615021523d8b5e_50x40.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P><P>Print &#8211; The print icon lets you know that printing can be simpler by allowing you to wirelessly print directly from your computer, mobile phone, PDA or any other device displaying the print icon.<BR>&nbsp;<BR></P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=50 height=40><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/2006061502154859400_50x40.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P><P>Input &#8211; The input icon shows that you can control as well as input data wirelessly to a device.&nbsp; This makes for fewer cables on your desk and improved control over portable devices without using the tiny, built-in keyboards.&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR>&nbsp;<BR></P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=50 height=40><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060615021607fd001_50x40.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P><P>Headset &#8211; The headset icon lets you know that you have the ability to talk on your phone &#8220;hands-free.&#8221;&nbsp; Getting rid of annoying cables means being able to move around freely while using your cell phone.<BR>&nbsp;<BR></P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=50 height=40><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060615021630712b9_50x40.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P><P>Transfer &#8211; The transfer icon tells you that the device can wirelessly send and receive data, text, pictures, music or other files with other devices.&nbsp; <BR>&nbsp;<BR></P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=50 height=40><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060615021649f3040_50x40.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Music &#8211; The music icon means these products allow you to listen to Hi-Fi stereo music wirelessly.&nbsp; You are able to send music from your mobile phone, computer or other device bearing this symbol and listen using compatible speakers, headphones, home stereos and many other devices.&nbsp; </P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>See: <A href="http://www.bluetooth.org/iconprogram/">www.bluetooth.org/iconprogram/</A>&nbsp; <BR></P></p>

<p>The change applies to both Visa credit or debit card.</p>
<p>AMEX, MasterCard, Diners and JCB have not yet made any decision to participate in the surcharge limiting rules.</p>
<p>The new rules were developed following a review of card surcharging practices by the Reserve Bank, and is aimed at better protecting consumers from excessive surcharging and provide more transparency for consumers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Retailers will need to review their surcharging practices to make sure their surcharges are not excessive and that they are clearly disclosed upfront to customers, both in-store and online,&#8221; said Visa&#8217;s Country Manager for Australia, Vipin Kalra.</p>
<p>CN contacted several Aussie retailers about the changes and are awaiting a reply. </p>
<p>But its not just retailers &#8211; taxis, ticket outlets and airlines in particular charge massive credit card fees &#8211; Virgin Airlines for instance charges $7.00 on each credit card transaction.</p>
<p>Visa&#8217;s new rules follow regulatory changes announced by the RBA last year, which allow card schemes to limit surcharges to the &#8220;reasonable cost of acceptance&#8221; &#8211; or how much it costs retailers to accept a card payment.</p>
<p>Stores will have to justify any surcharges they pass on to consumers, whichcan be made up by the Merchant Service Fee (MSF), terminal line cost, credit card terminal rental, annual acceptance fee and employee training. </p>
<p>&#8220;This is good news for consumers and should mean the practice is more transparent,&#8221; said Kalra. </p>
<p>The majority of surcharges on Visa cards should be close to the merchant service fee charged to the merchant by their bank, which is on average is 0.85 percent. </p>
<p>&#8220;Visa is a lower-cost card, so we would expect retailers to take that into consideration in their surcharging rates,&#8221; he said. The card giant has developed a program to help retailers to comply with the new rules. </p>
<p>This includes a special calculator, available through the retailers&#8217; banks, to assist retailers determine their &#8220;reasonable cost of acceptance&#8221; as defined by the RBA.</p>
<p>Visa said it will work with financial institutions to monitor retailer compliance and retailers found to be surcharging excessively will be notified by their bank of their non-compliance. </p>
<div class="NFBreak" style=page-break-before:always contenteditable="false">&nbsp;</div>
<p>&#8220;It will take a little time for retailers to review the new rules and implement them.  We will monitor the situation closely to see what effect the changes have on surcharging levels,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Card fees sometimes are as high as 3% retailers cannot take the service fee of the highest cost scheme and apply that charge across Visa, so if the MSF for AMEX is 2.5%  and for Visa is 1%, they must charge a different surcharge for the two transaction types</p>
<p>If consumers suspect a retailer is charging an unreasonable surcharge, you can email Visa at surchargingfeedback@visa.com</p>
