eMedia launches electronics database and mobile app

News this week: eMedia Asia Limited, a joint venture subsidiary of B2B media company Global Sources, announced the launch of an IC and electronic components online database, DatasheetsChina.com, in partnership with SiliconExpert Technologies Inc. Reportedly the world’s largest, the Chinese-language database houses data of over 185 million ICs and components from more than 10,000 global suppliers.

In a separate report this week, eMedia Asia also announced the launch of mobile app eeWeibo to deliver online mobile content to mainland China’s electronics industry professionals. eeWeibo is a Chinese-language mobile app that filters electronics industry-specific content on Chinese microblogging platform Sina Weibo.

According to Global Sources, the launch of the new app has attracted over 10,000 active mainland Chinese engineer users in the opening weeks. Users of the app can post and respond to comments, with pre-set content channels including ‘Editor’s Recommendation’, ‘Portable Devices’, ‘Consumer Electronics’, ‘Telecommunication & Security Electronics’, ‘Industry & Medical Electronics’, and ‘Automobile Electronics’.
