????傳言不虛：百事可樂公司要開始賣智能手機了。

????上周日（10月11日），國外手機資訊網(wǎng)站MobiPicker首先報道了上述消息。本周一，路透社向百事可樂的一位女發(fā)言人確認了這一消息。該發(fā)言人告訴路透社，百事可樂不會開發(fā)手機技術，而是要與一位獲得授權的合作伙伴共同經(jīng)營手機業(yè)務。

????這位女發(fā)言人并未說明百事可樂的合作方會是哪家機構，也未透露任何有關手機的細節(jié)。她只是說，這次合作會和以往百事可樂參與的其他交易類似。

????百事可樂已經(jīng)授權多個領域的合作機構出售帶有百事可樂品牌的配件，過去曾同丹麥頂級音響和電視制造商Bang &Olufsen和意大利鞋履品牌Del Toro合作。

????率先爆出消息的MobiPicker在報道中稱，百事可樂未來的手機Pepsi P1“品質不低，但不算高端配置”，預計本月20日會在北京發(fā)售。

????在1989年上映的電影《回到未來》第二部中，主人公馬蒂·麥克弗萊穿越到了2015年的10月21日，喝上了未來世界的百事可樂。百事可樂手機預期上市日的次日，恰逢此日。為紀念這個特別的日子，百事可樂將還原影片中出現(xiàn)的可樂道具，在21日當天發(fā)售劇中同款的限量版“完美百事”（Pepsi Perfect）。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????The rumors are true: PepsiCo Inc will start selling smartphones.

????MobiPicker was the first to report the story on Sunday, but Reuters confirmed the reports with a PepsiCo spokesperson on Monday. She told the publication that the company will not be manufacturing the technology, but rather will team up with a licensing partner.

????She did not specify who the partner would be or reveal any details about the phone. She simply said that it would be similar to other deals that PepsiCo has previously participated in.

????The company has licensing partners across a variety of different categories to sell accessories and apparel. In the past it has teamed up with Bang & Olufsen, a Danish luxury stereo and TV maker, and Del Toro, an Italian shoemaker.

????The original report from MobiPicker stated that the phone, Pepsi P1, will have “decent but not high-end specs,” and is expected to be released in Beijing on October 20.

????Just one day later, October 21, marks the day that Marty McFly time traveled to 2015 in Back to the Future II and enjoyed a futuristic Pepsi. To honor the date, PepsiCo will release its limited edition “Pepsi Perfect” in the same style as it appeared in the film.
