Nokia China three line: if users buy Windows Phone

The past nokia (the Po) monopoly, the top often would also suffering consciousness in her mouth, put forward one's own opposition only yourself. The most typical example is 2007 start Internet strategy OVI, open to the industry. However in high places, there are always some eye biased. The Internet is the trend of The Times, but is not recognized by the market OVI, eventually fold ji. Samsung (the Po), apple, HTC, now before the full of nokia's strong. With definite goals "beat" also become the boxes. But at the moment, nokia still needs to solve the problem of their first victory over.
To this, the new nokia CEO Stephen Evans the roper (StephenElop) open the prescription is regardless of the older "the question, abandoned Symbian, embrace WP. The core of the next question is, what is a WP smooth, or the next OVI. If the former, whether at present already showed the clue; If it's the latter, nokia also can do.
Recently, the nokia first Lumia series W P system model 800 c formally entering the China market, marked "by easy pulp washing after" nokia for the first time in new product line, a new intelligent mobile phone brand image into China.
Lack of innovation, wiping out 92%
The industry thinks generally, nokia now from two big mistake the dilemma. One is to occupy global mobile phone market head seat, nokia put most of their time on how to control the cost and ignores the innovation. Even try to innovation, also did not consider the cost jump out of thinking. The second is growing in competition, the performance of their decline, failed to respond quickly.
In 2002, nokia smart phone launched 7650, it is the world's first paragraph mobile phone in the first paragraph, labeled as smart phones in the first paragraph, built-in camera taking photos in the first paragraph of mobile phones, mobile phone and HuaGai first paragraph 5 d rocker mobile phones. At the time, the nokia is not a single big, from top to bottom but be innovative aura surrounded, yi yi is unripe brightness.
Eight years later, nokia has apple iPhone and Google Android double-team prevailing under, was launched by nokia N8 as emancipated make, but compared to 7650 a special glance, do not have completely can let a person remember window.
10 years in the history of the domestic mobile market, whether a cell phone camera or mobile phone, labeled music phone, and each time the market meltdown, nokia is not pioneer. This self innovation ability of the quietly lifts, and finally formed killed camels the last straw. Public data shows, nokia's $250 billion market value from the peak, fall to about $20 billion now, shrink 92%. In 2011, nokia mobile phones sold a total of 417.1 million, up from 2010 of the 36 million, its global market share from 50% to 27%.
Leaders from the pursuers
In 2007, apple launched the first generation iPhone. In 2009, Android began to enter into the line of sight of people. Along the way, apple's market capitalization from less than $25 billion soar to $560 billion now, share price has risen by 60%. Close to the Android system samsung is took nokia China mobile phone market boss status, according to the market research institutions of Gartner data, last year the first four seasons, samsung with 24.3% of the market share in China more than 19.6% of nokia.
In the overall fall to Microsoft WP system before, nokia is not without change. Just in the "BingBaiRuShanDao" market condition, these changes more like "enjoying", and finally become a pile of money but not burning the output of things. In 2007, nokia OVI launch Internet service brand and quickly and landed in China market. Through the OVI, nokia cellular phone users can access social network, community and all kinds of content.
This is in at that time are already very innovative ideas, but in the end, the nokia in May last year announced to give up its O V I brand.
Why is China telecom (the Po)
The same has, a change is big change. In 2010, the European company, please complete the Canadian nokia has the roper as CEO. Face the "old diehard" and "slow response to" two big problems, Mr The roper quickly a prescription--desalination Sym bian, give up is the development and Intel Meego, selection and Microsoft WP system of cooperation.
Recently, the nokia first Lumia series WP system model 800 c formally entering the China market. Just as no one would have thought of, once in the mobile phone operating system measures of nokia's tight and Microsoft cooperation. This time, Mr The roper don't go the way of nokia's unusual terror hand, also let the industry dipped below glasses. First the model, unexpectedly is listed in cooperation with China telecom CD MA version.
"This is a smart business." Mobile phone consulting company war state policy analysts Yang qun think, Lumia800 early last year has landed the foreign market, with the appearance of the same N9 also in in the homeland sold open for a long time, without very new. So, want to let WP type entered China get more topics, innovation of the CDMA version more convincing. In addition, nokia is never in the domestic CDMA market released a high-end products, to push the 800 c, also can and China telecom close relationship, kill two birds with one stone.
The reality is that, Mr The roper this American style has let the formality of the nokia is full of fresh topic, the next question is, can you succeed.

These businesses are advertising is "apple authorized dealer", to ensure that the products are quality goods HangHuo. Even if the same dozen "apple authorized" banner, the businessman given apple products quotation are different.
Take 16 G iPad 2 wifi version for, to the south of the door of the win full of abundant communication "apple store" offer for 3680 yuan are, China resources across the "apple authorized shops" is 3280 yuan, and the grand view primary school next to the only abundant telecommunications "apple products store" is 3080 yuan only.

Reporters from online to realize, iPad 2 price for memory and the function different, in 2988 yuan to 5488 yuan between floating.
According to information, on the market supply of goods can be roughly classified into three kinds: one is can provide normal bill of HangHuo, 2 it is gray, three is repair machine, different kinds of the price also has difference, as apple products sales and unauthorized accessories have higher profits.
Qingyuan apple products store if they were all apple official authorized shops, selling the price should be, not may vary greatly.

IPad 3十 big potential defects
The overheating been concerned
According to foreign media reports, according to eweek website published on Sunday analysis, the paper said the new apple iPad are the praise of the evaluation, however, some user lists the some of the new iPad unsatisfactory aspects called defects. If consumers decided in the next few months to buy new iPad, new iPad has 10 potential defects is a concern.
1. Overheat problem
Apple iPad because its new the operating temperature of the iPad2 higher than the temperature and criticized. But, apple says, the new iPad maximum working temperature is 95 degrees Fahrenheit, accord with it expected. But some people say the iPad work more hot temperature. Although some users not met the iPad overheating too much trouble, but, every kind of situation seems to are not the same.
2. Charging time long
According to many new iPad users say, this equipment of charging for too long. Some people feel a bit long charging time, but not as bad as some people think. However, if you let the battery almost used until after charging, to have full electric need for several hours.
3. The same design
Apple to look forward to each year to produce new products and exciting products for consumers, new iPad in design is insufficient. When compared with iPad2, new iPad the basic design of the same, not the obvious improvement. And, of course, whether or not that is problem, it all depends on how consumers and their expectations.
4. The price is high
The new iPad expensive is not disputed. Only Wi-Fi function of the 16 GB ipad new start is priced at $499. Complete function of high-end iPad sold for $829. 4 GLTEiPad users every month still need to pay the service fee. Apple's iPad obviously is expensive.
5. A smaller screen size
Although apple's all three iPad configure 9.7 inches display, but the new iPad will face 10.1 inches of the product competition. While the two size look difference is not very big, but the difference was very effective. When the user to watch video or rolling a web page, this is a problem. Apple iPad in the new should provide a larger size of the Retina display screen.
6. Still no port
The new iPad lack of available port, beyond dispute this is the biggest one of defects. The new iPad no USB interface, have no place to directly into HDMI (hd multimedia interface) cable. Instead, apple users are forced to buy and iPad base in the adapter connector together.
7. Developers left behind
Because apple need to be kept secret, apple released in product before to many developers are not introduce products plan. This will allow developers to use in the market new iPad functional applications lags behind, for example, in this time, to be able use apple Retina display of the advantages of the applications rarely.
8. Wi-Fi problem
According to some new iPad users said the new iPad in some cases connection Wi-Fi signal into some trouble, can't even let users through the Wi-Fi connected to the network. Some users use new iPad Wi-Fi network connected to, it is not in trouble.
9. No Siri function
Apple iPad in new before release, almost everyone thinks the new iPad will support Siri function. Unfortunately, apple didn't go that far, but decided to provide this kind of equipment speech dictation function. Although the function works very well, but it is not Siri function.
10. IOS5.1 not important changes
Apple iPad new configuration iOS5.1 operating system. The operating system must be able to finish the task in accordance with the requirements of the customers and run, but this operation system in mobile field without any innovation. To be familiar with iOS and the function satisfactory users, this is a good thing.

The old phone empire: break-in and internal friction deadly SONY Ericsson

Who can think, once the all-powerful SONY Ericsson (the Po) has got the "2012 years of brand disappear list?
And now, the trace of the SONY Ericsson has gradually be SONY whisked off, stay in new website, only simple SONY ". "Imagine" special ", this is SONY to its new Xperia model of mobile phone brand positioning.
Look, in the smoke everywhere smartphone battlefield, even if it is ever of the entertainment pioneer also were meant to be swept into the history of it, move the power of the Internet as if and will bring the once new digital revolution, let 2012 to become global mobile phone reorientation of the year, and SONY Ericsson is a fell down and domino.
Eleven years "in love"
"Buying decision seems to is cold, but it is the relentless to before the end of an era." In the horizon research consultancy group telecom a senior analyst at CengTao this, it seems, is not a strong constant strong industry, SONY Ericsson and from "in hand" to "marriage", it is proved in the smartphone industry reshuffle and pattern of reforming fast logic.
February 16,, SONY announced the company, with 1.05 billion euro completing the acquisition Ericsson have SONY Ericsson 50% of the shares, to make it a wholly owned subsidiary of SONY, and SONY Ericsson renamed SONY mobile communication. Background is now SONY Ericsson global market share fell to 10% from 1.7% last year. This is the acquisition of the simple message to have four smart phone market soon added a lot of gunpowder, but also by many media called SONY a "big layout".
However, in people for this once all-powerful global mobile phone brand suddenly disappeared, and haven't come to his senses, transformation of the SONY and actively seek the negative effects of the acquisition to a minimum, drew live more fans in the SONY Ericsson heart. Action is quite large except for the new SONY set's official website and "push," account, but also set up the special English blog. "We are about to hit the brand switching excitement, continue to see everyone to the SONY Ericsson era of infinite miss."
Hand in hand with 11 years, only 11 years, SONY Ericsson and with respective advantages for the mobile industry was quickly combination of young leaders, but today, SONY Ericsson and they decided "each taken of the wooden bridge". Beijing Ericsson research center engineer Mr Liu said, Ericsson mobile phone field from the "main should or because financial aspect, has been losing money and other Ericsson hope focus telecommunications network market". And SONY aspects also want to use more dedicated spirit, open up new market.
In 2001 the "can perfect" union seems to have buried the relationship between the potential in the future to be carried on. And if back again to address this paragraph of "marriage", seem to have been unable to use the success and not successful words to describe.
Integration and the cost of internal friction
"Everything is in our hands," this sentence to the AD was born 1998 Ericsson phone video of a M V, leading role GuanZhiLin Andy lau and the advertisement hit to create a 31 seconds "bourne of war". Not only that, the Chinese consumer is excited to send and receive text messages with Ericsson mobile phone in Chinese. Since then Ericsson mobile phone rapidly occupation the China market, and even appeared one machine, it is difficult to find a situation.
Beijing zte (the Po) product manager Mr. Wan expressed the affirmation of the mobile phone that SONY Ericsson: SONY Ericsson mobile phone or early music is successful, positioning is clear, have continued appeal. To this, at the age of 28 white-collar Mr. Ban also said, SONY Ericsson mobile multimedia function is stronger, have been used for their system before, and then they use andros. Eight years ago whether from appearance design or music take pictures for function is pretty good, can be entertainment pioneer, but now it seems the jury HTC, samsung (the Po) in these are also not inferior, because SONY Ericsson innovation is insufficient, once the advantage was quickly overtake is inevitable.
Smartphone era, the function is supreme. And SONY Ericsson the "entertainment pioneer" is also in the win before the function, in order to continue to maintain the momentum of the total annihilation, 2001, SONY and Ericsson decided in hand, "Christmas" SONY Ericsson also was popular smartphone market. CengTao think, SONY Ericsson in each of the parties under 50% natural causes many problems, which side all want to dominant, this also is the European culture and the unique Japanese culture has long hard to fusion inevitable collision. Break-in and internal friction makes the product research and development and launch new products of the extended period, this in the process of changing mobile phone industry is fatal weakness.
Break-in and internal friction, and in many aspects of SONY Ericsson, one of which is positioning itself. "SONY Ericsson product position is not clear, now mobile phone industry can survive or go high-end, have very strong creativity that apple, or go low, like huawei, zte spell as price." Mr. Wan said. "For now, SONY Ericsson should be located in the young students, not enough group white-collar users." Visible, brand orientation and the end user group of significant gap caused the brand spread and marketing of "confused".
And the other is the performance of the product update delayed "SONY Ericsson brand promotion ability than before a few years this definitely feel weak, we are little contact with the SONY Ericsson advertising. In addition, the smart phone, an important characteristic is the Internet properties, but SONY Ericsson in this respect almost no as, obviously not keep up with the pace of The Times mobile Internet." CengTao said.
Innovation era of consumption
Turn head again see, though the smart phone market still remains. SONY Ericsson's exit gave people a despite warning: this area of water actually have much deep?
According to CengTao analysis, the smartphone industry has a smartphone with huge differences, the smartphone industry more exquisite innovation, and is fast and continuous innovation. In his view, the SONY Ericsson failed to grasp the smartphone in time with the great opportunity to seize the opportunity to bring andros system, only will own advantage in music and taking pictures of restrictions, out of the field is inevitable.
IT cannot be denied that is, now in the era of the world with IT products, products and brands of the waste in a and can be finished within a very short time, this is a lot of the background of the brand disappear. Now the market is growing, mobile phone brand has fallen away, this has been paying attention to quality nation is not in the mobile market GongChengLveDe on, also reflects the time, the creative product of rapid use and rapid change.
CengTao said, relative to all kinds of market of c 2 G era and the smartphone era, 3 G mobile Internet times and bring smartphone era, the mobile phone industry more competitive, mobile phone manufacturer also need to be more clear their own brand positioning, main a piece of segments of the market.
Consumer market is a huge bottomless, consumption of call IT products desire instinct for innovation, and people for mobile phone is eager to attractive wisdom combination, at this point, can't keep up with The Times could beat instantly flooded and forgotten.
Now SONY Ericsson cell phones have become the collection, as a trademark of little green point will not appear in people's vision, then watch too much young, perhaps this is the age of the competition to a memorial it.

Linux 3.3 kernel release fusion Android source code

Linux kernel project director Lawrence woz's ground (Linus Torvalds) released on Sunday the latest Linux version 3.3 kernel, the kernel fusion the Android source code, be helpful for Android system development.
Android is an open source system, but Android 4.0 (code name ice cream sandwich) mobile and tablet computer months time delay listed, shows that Google (the Po) development of the new system alone in difficulties. Android has a lot of high level components, such as the Dalvik virtual machine operation application, but all of these are relying on in managing "in Kernel. Org posted on the website of the Linux Kernel main (mainline Kernel).
Google now hope that through the mainline kernel development part of the new function, programming staff will benefit from it, but they need to see Android can provide what new function, and how to improve.
SONY programmers Tim Byrd (Tim Bird) focus on Google Android Linux kernel with Linux mainline kernel fusion project, he thought that the new Linux 3.3 kernel for developers can bring two big benefits: 1), in the Android system using Android function. 2), using vanilla Android users to test the mainline kernel space, to analyze specific function how to integrate or use Android kernel other related functions. The kernel before mailing list and Android main mailing list idea how to continue to move the discussion of the development has made some achievements.
Google and don't want to completely isolated environment development the new system, but this will Android Linux with Linux mainline kernel code of the fusion of trying to effect is not good. "Android developers on several previous attempts to, but not submitted to the mainline kernel code, the process is not consistent," Byrd said, "a few basic functions, such as wakelock class, appear operation and delay. Part of the obstacles to the mainline kernel function never." Wakelock is a mechanism, application through the it prevent computing devices into low power idle or dormant.
Said bird, a lot of Android applications with on-board support, in other words, the software needs to use all kinds of main and support the processor, these have been the main core support. Including power management, the new function also makes version 3.3 kernel greater upgrade.
Byrd says, he had seen some programmers use "a small patch" of the unmodified mainline kernel run senior Android open source (AOSP) project. This to want to get out of bondage to try Google Android in the new environment run new function of the developer is a good news, for other Linux equipment more help.
Considering the Google browser has been and WebKit browser engine programmers close cooperation project, Google may realize the sharing source code to more constructive has made them suffer losses.

After losing genius after Steve jobs, apple seems to have not lost the magic, but people doubt, one branch esteems position is to start shaking. And smart phones between the most fierce battles, the apple and samsung launched in between.
In fact, for Android mobile phone manufacturer for, a key challenge is to develop their own mobile phone and other competitor Android phone to distinguish. The choice of samsung mobile phones design is better than the iPhone 4 to be thinner, more big screen. "Screen size is not exist. The whole design team for 1 year, for a total of 12000 in nine countries smart phone users do a consumer survey, and in the screen to browse, one-handed operation, handwritten input, call and so on the different cases to test the product of portability. Finally, we decided to use the size of 5.3 inch HD Su-per AMOLED screen." GALAXY Note appearance PiaoXiangZhi designer, said, "we, after a lot of research and product development test found that 5.3 inches--the screen size can reduce the need to switch between applications, and realize the real split-screen operation and multitasking."
Indeed, any industrial design origin is not a product, but people create use conveniently things, create a kind of life experience, and thus feel the joy of life. Of course, just to have beautiful appearance is far from enough, for I-Phone a bowl-off, samsung back to Android operating system added some special things, and thus become more practical. Such as its operating systems have called a "community" of modules, can show a mobile phone to contact in the social network updates on the situation, and "arena" module is the integration of domestic mainstream video content.
In 2009, Samsung application store launch their own Samsung Apps. In early 2011, samsung began to provide the user with the music, film and television, reading integration and social resources "nets ring" application. In order to match the GALAXY Note launch, Samsung application store Samsung Apps and in new added a new application category-S Choice, special apply to provide "S Pen" of all kinds of application software.
Focus on the needs of the operators
Samsung senior had smile, says: "samsung strategy is what carriers need, samsung will provide what." Samsung China a source is conclude that samsung smartphone market share in the main cause of rising is in its marketing will focus mainly on the software and content. Of course, a more important reason is that samsung is to know how to cater to operators, and depend on the relationship and operators quickly win the market.
Of course, apple is the darling of the global operators. A well known fact that in the iPhone 4 S before launch, in order to and apple binding cooperation, each big operators offer an olive branch tripping over each other, but the higher subsidies, make unicom the iPhone sales almost no money can earn. In contrast, samsung GALAXY series mobile phones are taking the more flexible customization mode. "In 2010, we launched CDMA, td-scdma, WCDMA three 3 G version of the GALAXY S phone formats, samsung GALAXY after last year, S Ⅱ continued the comprehensive support China again three operator customization demand strategy." Samsung Chinese officials say.
And former overlord than nokia, samsung are more concerned about the needs of the operators. For example in the mobile phone to TD, although based on the same market, each big mobile phone manufacturer or take different marketing strategy. In October 2009, nokia phone just released first TD. "Nokia world in contract signed WCDMA with all operators generally cooperate in the Chinese market, so their main energy continues bets WCD-MA." A people in the industry say. And other international big brother to TD front of brinkmanship than attitude, samsung mobile phones to take an attitude of the bets. In 2008, samsung mobile phones first put forward "3 G For All" strategy, become a few support All three formats of one of the terminal manufacturers. "As early as 2000, samsung began to China, even than TD many Chinese cell phone manufacturers have. So far, the research and development in TD samsung have work for more than ten years, the total investment more than hundreds of millions of dollars." Samsung Chinese officials say. "This decision is a certain risks." Samsung Chinese communication research institute President wang tong said, "when China 3 G mount time and TD will be mainly by the operator if the network standard is uncertain, and as a foreign company, it is difficult to like some of the local firms that get to the relevant departments of the state of the project to give special funds, TD and needs to be assumed by the completely."
In addition, the south Korean company with operators in depth in rapid customization feedback. "Samsung every year at least will yourself out more than 30 sample supply operators as customization model choice, not only the initiative to assume the role of a designer, also to operators of a rapid feedback demand." Operators of a source said, "one example is before eight o 'clock at night to call samsung office can all be found."
Star products
However, only will deal with operators are not enough. Samsung understand, must launch and I-Phone the same star product, can truly in the smartphone war won, and the focus of competition is in the high end in products.
GALAXY Note is in this context is born. This phone the screen than 3.5-inch iPhone 4 S big nearly 2 inches. In order to cope with the big screen power consumption, samsung to the phone's battery capacity has also carried on the upgrade to 2500 ma, this recruit obviously directed at high power consumption of the iPhone stones.
GALAXY Note product designers JinYong m said: "the whole product design team has more than 20 people. In this product before birth, we do a lot of consumer survey and research, the needs of consumers and capture inside the expression comes out is the team's most important one of work." "On the one hand, we have found that the shortage of the product, on the other hand, more important is to observe the consumer. For example, they like to use what functions most at ordinary times, how will they use habits become creative embodied in product language." JinYong m said, "we understand customers' needs, plus on consumer research, and then, and the research and development engineers to meet to discuss the feasibility of the technology." She said. Such as the new memorandum for S function, samsung to two kinds of consumers do research, one kind is very familiar to technology, another kind is the average consumer, then for their feedback for product optimization. JinYong m points out, samsung designers to watch people life, do not just look at how they use the product, but also study their psychological behavior. In the samsung opinion, only in design to join social and cultural aspects of research, to bring a more balanced life quality. "We in the smart phone users to 12000 investigation showed that 90% of the users, at the same time because of the need to carry cell phones and digital equipment, plate two kinds of GALAXY Note this can replace the USES of cross-border products showing interest in, it is based on the demand of the consumers' behavior and the further understanding of just gave birth to the GALAXY Note launch." JinYong m said.
In fact, the company launched new mobile phone at a very fast rate. "We will be according to the different operating system, the modelling of series of products preview. In modelling design will take on different personality, such as Android series mobile will continue fruity modelling, in mobile phone the arc of the border, and the design is not so hale; and we design the Win-dows series model, it is a square. We hope to squat rectangular components,, the user in the three meters away one eye can see that this is samsung products." JinYong m said.

Domestic handset India are the main battlefield Waterloo to move back to the domestic

Domestic handset in India market was a myth to Gfive, as a representative of the shenzhen cellphone manufacturers, between 2009 and 2010, the success will Nokia catch the next shrines, topped the Indian mobile phone market share more than the top position, Gfive to 21% share of rows in the first place. Last year, however, Gfive began in India, has been the most serious market of a challenge. Nokia "return of the king", regain the top spot, Gfive share fall to 7.5%. In domestic be zte huawei (the Po) giant extrusion, overseas market share and falling, domestic mobile phone to be small and medium-sized brand?
India the huge population makes a huge market. Before and after 2008, China's manufacturers in the exporter of white where there is almost reproduce the a "qiang north mode" come out. "With 45 days a cycle, several design, production line and operation, every two weeks a number of new products, design functions as far as possible to. Price than the international brand low more than half." Shenzhen a mobile phone terror hand says, with this several features, domestic handset smooth scored the India market. During peak hour, some brands, such as konka, its to India, according to the market, accounting for more than 60% of its overseas shipments.
But in the Indian market, between domestic brand, the competition is quite intense, and mainly in the low end, low-cost model is given priority to, cause some manufacturer to hold down costs as much as possible, and the output of "no machine", "three yards machine" no or share IM E I yards fortress machine, on the mobile network of normal operation, eventually lead to India in 2009 in May and June, blocked by a large number of fortress manufacturers.
Although at that time G five, as a representative of the giant is affected certainly, but soon recovered, and because without the fortress opponents and rapid rise. CyberM edia R e-search data show that after the storm, 2010 G five in the Indian market rate nearly 35 million units, a 21% share, holding a safe lead second nokia (the Po) 13%. But in 2011, the situation was completely in turn. The same research organization of data showing that, last year, nokia share is still 13%, topped the list, and G five is dropped from the first three (8%). Another research institutions A B Ire-search data show that the G Five share of 7.5%.
A BI analysts think, India and shenzhen cellphone manufacturer, for example, GFive (Kivu), M icrom ax, K arbonn (both in shenzhen generation after work, stick A card sales) once in India market has great influence, and it is from nokia, samsung is (the Po) international manufacturers such as serious threats, meanwhile, huawei, zte factories are for operator customization mode through India, has obtained the certain market share.
In fact, the rise of G five on multiple CARDS for "scheme. Shenzhen state policy consulting President Yang qun points out that war, when nokia worry "multiple CARDS for" mobile will affect the low end of the mobile phone sales, so has been unwilling to launch this kind of mobile phone, but India market too complicated, many operators, high past, every consumer also use several card, it makes the M TK, spreadtrum scheme of domestic mobile phone manufacturers have the advantage.
Now, however, nokia has changed a market strategy, rolled out a number of very low prices "multiple CARDS for" type, plus its brand effect, high quality, returned to the position of dominance. According to information, brand of Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises in domestic market as the mobile phone, rely on India's two, three city and rural market alive. In addition, some manufacturers domestic brand for India in stick a card generation of labor and also have the certain share.
In addition, still remain at 2 G era of domestic medium and small mobile phone brand, also because of smart phones in the Indian market is popular to be weakened. A BI data points out, the current, India market smartphone compound annual growth rate as high as 40%, to 2017, the share of sales will reach 29%. Yang qun said: "M TK 3 G plan cost, for small and medium-sized brand is still too high, and lack of cooperation with operators, and small and medium-sized brand to launch a cellphone product intelligence."
People close to Gfive to SMW reporter revealed that this year will turn to attack the G five domestic market, the market will likely focus on rural market, put out a series of high cost performance products. However, G five main battlefield has been in India, and domestic channel construction and without any advantage, "shenzhen small and medium-sized brand are able to survive so far, spelling is channel, and channel of G five speaking, or will be its biggest test."

Apple smart phone market share in China by samsung

According to foreign media reported Monday, although apple CDMA version of the apple iPhone 4 S in China telecom (the Po) sales momentum appears very hot, but industry insiders for the case have different views, think apple in China with the power too slowly, at present the samsung smart cellphone market in China the share is already is three times as much as apple and on the high growth of, and if apple can more quickly in the Chinese market earlier further open up, not only with a wireless operator cooperation is true, then the present pattern may be different.
According to bloomberg to provide the data showed that in 2011, the fourth quarter apple in China's share of the smartphone market was 7.5%, the samsung reached 24.3% over the same period, has reached the apple share of the three times higher than, it also makes the apple become the ranking fifth in China's popularity of smart cellphones brand, and samsung are still on top.
Samsung are able to like China in a big market for such wonderful share among the most, the most important reason is that samsung and China mobile (the Po) (655 million users), China unicom (the Po) (200 million users) and China telecom (129 million users) the three operators of cooperation between very harmonious, in three big operators under the help of the samsung's share is also hugely increased. The apple is always only cooperate with China unicom.
Apple started last week in the cooperation with China telecom, trying to catch up with rivals. Although China telecom in western eye has a huge market potential, but the company is China's influence the smallest a wireless operator. According to people familiar with the internal, China's largest wireless operator China mobile or will be launched LTE iPhone version at apple and start selling iPhone, but this is to wait until the end of 2012 before is expected to. At present China mobile's network of about 15 million iPhone has been activated, although this part of the iPhone is not China mobile put on sale, but by other illegal channels into.
Although China telecom should be able to help apple iPhone to further expand the market share in China, but if apple wanted to become the largest in China beyond samsung smart cellphone supplier of words, and at the same time and the three operators for cooperation is the only way out.

China mobile phone application developers profit is an insufficient 2 into

Most cellphone application developers to outsourcing service, which is expected to continue.
"1 billion times, thank the 25 times 1 billion times thanks!" On March 3, the apple in the official website user and developers to salute, because apple application download store broke the 25 billion times. "In order to thank", apple sent out a $10000 worth of point card gives 250 one hundred million downloads users. It is reported, this user in Qingdao, this matter a again raised the industry to the attention of application development.
At present the global 248000 developer, for apple contributed 550000 designs of A pp, won the apple more than $4 billion in payment, $16000 per month. At the same time, A ndroid application development market rise, make application development becomes A new industry. However, the home of the developers survival is not optimistic, on the one hand, development threshold continuously improve, on the other hand, a few profit channels become scarce resources.
The application of less than 2 developers profit into
Smart phone market get expanded rapidly, cannot leave the variety of applications, software support, the plant zombie war ", "angry birds (the Po)" and a series of bright red the application of prosperity, stimulate the people to buy an intelligent terminal desire. In the mobile industry application developers and a few of the upper reaches of the software industry into IT a hero, because these by individuals or small team developed applications, once popular, can bring let a person be jealous income. For example, the most popular "fruit ninja", download has more than 40 million people, in 2011 the income bring more than 30 million dollars. Among them, from the Chinese market download as high as 30%.
But for most mobile developers, a can bring this income is just the application of our MaoFeng Angle. Even if apple brought astonishing Numbers, but also can't cover up the reality of nursing.
According to ai media consulting statistics released by the end of the data, in 2011 China mobile application developers to realize the profit occupied only 13. 7%, mainly attached enterprise itself (such as tencent) or personal development and application products by advertising the profit is given priority to, the loss of the as high as 64. 5%, equal is only 20.8%.
However, "earlier this year, the number of earnings increase to 18% or so, but not environment improved, but many maintain not go down, loss-making and no capital support personal developers, team quit, caused the number change." Ai media consulting easy President says. According to information, at present China cellphone application developers total of about 1 million people, including apple iO S platform 140000, Google (the Po) of A ndroid more than 700000. These developers mostly in Beijing and shenzhen.
Individual developers business model transformation
Shenzhen is not yet registered enterprise development team chief WangJun tell SMW reporter, in shenzhen as they so developers number, the whole team only a few people, and profitable has two, one is a download bring advertising, like some life of service, little game application. Another kind is to give enterprise do outsourcing project, but the vast majority are on the brink, he admits, "has been established for more than a year, is on fire his money."
"Individuals or small team of the developers will live more and more difficult, especially in the promotion, public relations, they almost zero." That easy, only the amount paid apple will have more than $, plus outsourcing, cooperative development and a whole chain, application development the size of the industry may have high reached yuan, achieve scale, industry began to mature, at this time, the threshold will become more and more high, no particular actual strength, capital, was eliminated probability is very high.
WangJun also said, unless the glitzy ambition, do some ebook and a small application, or develop a decent the application of points, not seven or eight others, 10 to ten thousand yuan input is very difficult.
"Apple store, many applications in the application of the top is the big enterprise development, even if you have the ability to develop a good application, if not the funds to promotion, will soon be submerged in hundreds of thousands of applications."
In addition, there are also pointed out that the developers, and apple market, compared to A ndroid market conditions are A little optimistic point, because A ndroid store more, users also have no fixed in A store consumption.
However, the problem may be more complicated. For example, A ndroid users tend to download the free application, the application of the profit pattern of often only built-in ads, but this will influence the user experience, the user quite whining.
According to information, Google's A dM ob is the main advertising channel developers profit (in the application of built-in advertising, click number to advertisers charge), at the end of A dMob policy be adjusted, malicious, false clicks attracted, caused many developers account was banned, cut off their rare profit channel.
In fact, "profit channel issue has caused application developers in the business model change." Easy says that in the past many independent application developers to outsourcing service. For example, many large enterprise need through the cellphone application to promote your products and services to their customers, "the field to the fast growing market and higher profits, for many can't get or do not want to take the wind for developers, at least can let them continue."

Mobile phone hardware arms race was cannon: four nuclear mobile phone to the poor

47 years ago, Intel (Intel) was one of the Gordon Moore (GordonMoore) put forward Moore's law--when prices unchanged, the integrated circuit can accommodate the number of transistors, about every 18 months will double, and performance will also doubled. Facts prove the Moorish prospective, but in recent years, originated in the PC areas of Moore's law but some won't be used, because the speed of the PC has completely can meet the needs of all walks of life. Only from the market look, Moore type "upgrade" started becoming dispensable. Now, with dual-core and even the appearance of the four nuclear cellphone chips, mobile terminal will not be the next test field of Moore's law? Or in real application, mobile chips have a PC upgrade step the footsteps, beyond the market demand, the poor become the existence of the type. Recently, with a few fashion four nuclear mobile phone from concept into reality, a "nuclear war" imminent, and at the same time around four nuclear mobile phone does have the necessary big discussion, also in the mobile terminal full-blown within the industry.
"Wrong" constant four nuclear
"Four nuclear arms race of the mobile phone is ridiculous." In this year's MWC on congress, Microsoft Windows Phone director Alan WuDeMan (A aronW oodm an) said.
In his view, Windows Phone mobile Phone even if not equipped with four processors, also can rapid operation, and mononuclear or dual-core processor compared, four processors more should. Standing in WuDeMan side of the competent departments and SONY mobile, Stephen Nathan (StephenSneeden), he made it clear that a web site through, "you will see SONY in 2013 launched four nuclear mobile phone, because we are assessing four processors in what way is it meaning, in what way will not have quality problem, performance is not really to a certain level and application in what way do need four processors." Nathan, say, when SONY mobile feel performance and efficiency of the cells when matching, will join the ranks of the four nuclear cell phone, and he thinks now "is not matching".
It is worth noting that, WuDeMan and Nathan, were expressed this view the reasons- when HTC, such as huawei, MWC competitors in the flash on four nuclear the Phone, to the SONY competing phones and Windows Phone still stays in the dual-core even mononuclear. But just like fairy tale "the emperor's new clothes", the two "child" direct "the emperor bare body" means to come out. Those that made the MWC in all kinds of four nuclear mobile phone and overview big shout smash consumers start thinking--his computer was just a dual-core, cell phone that four nuclear, what is it?
Like PC world and constantly promote innovative Intel chips, first jump out to refute "four nuclear useless" theory is the mobile phone chip maker weida (NVID IA). For the proposed Nathan, four nuclear power consumption problems, the British weida said its own Tegra 3 four processors only in application to call to start the four processor core. The rest of the time is a low power consumption of the kernel in operation. But in this way, new problems appeared again, most of the time since only a kernel, and that the rest of the three have what use? The English weida did not answer, but in fact it is the root of the speech, Nathan.
Android camp infighting
"Four processors in be used actually role? This is completely understandable, because it is fact." A plan launched four nuclear Android smart phone, vice President of the enterprise to the SMW reporters, like some restaurants will be in his dishes on the pure gold and gold foil, is meant to tell you you have the strength. As for the dual-core cell phone is just emerging in a year or so, part of the four nuclear mobile phone manufacturer go out from the lab to commercial applications, that is completely Android mobile phone hardware competition results, and how much some "he".
The "four nuclear appear from competition theory", also can be in the MWC conference to find. Was the same as a "China proud", HTC (HTC electricity) and huawei are in this congress introduced a four nuclear cellphones, and won the high attention.
MWC during the exhibition, huawei terminals chairman YuChengDong (the Po) in their sina blog authentication micro fire a enterprise clearly released four nuclear mobile phone, but in the booth to dual-core pretend to be four nuclear to display. And the reason that has this kind of situation, "should be the enterprise four smart phone and no nuclear development mature." Although the YuChengDong and had to the enterprise and the product model "name names", but net friend from its micro bo revealed by the information and images of the allotted to see, this type of four nuclear mobile phone HTC is issued a new One X.
Huawei official and YuChengDong the per capita net friend "first" to not make any HTC retort. HTC receiving SMW is a reporter to interview, responded that "he (refers to YuChengDong) himself didn't know that condition, how would we made such a low-level mistakes?" The so-called "didn't know that status" means, the One series of HTC released for four section type, as the flagship model for HTC One X four processors, and the other a modelling is similar but network for the 4 G HTC One XL for dual-core processor. At present, YuChengDong have removed part of the relevant micro bo. But according to the statement, just think, should not be so direct FaWei Po and pictures, but to "people what all dare to concoct", the feeling is still.
As for this type of four nuclear mobile phone HTC One X, finally rob in the four nuclear mobile phone before huawei, in overseas web sites released book, sells for 599 euros.
Don't solve the power consumption, smashing his signature
Microsoft's "irony", SONY's "question", YuChengDong of fire, "rob brake HTC...... Four nuclear mobile phone is so lively pushed consumer line of sight. Have it? Very not to use? Even for the market to inspection. But certainly, and the condition of the mobile phone appears when you are not quite the same--four nuclear and didn't get unanimously eventually, mobile terminal field "Moore's law" appears to be in just two years, is broken.
Because his company also doing four nuclear mobile phone, the vice President of mobile phone brand refuses to in this paper named. He thinks that, many enterprises rob to launched four nuclear mobile phone, in addition to A ndroid homogeneity of the mobile phone by hardware "arms race" outside, apple is A big competitive factors. "What industry can 'worship' the strong, apple is undoubtedly the best of today's mobile phone industry. Now the iPhone 4 S is the dual-core, if we were not in the hardware beyond it, after half year new iPhone listed, we will become more not to see." But he stressed that the "nuclear war" also has the very big profit, at least standby time, mobile phone fever these problems has been a mobile phone brand first need to solve the problem. Otherwise, equal to take own brand in the "joke".
In fact, how again "he", any mobile phone brand will realize this, and begins the processing processor upgrades, standby time and process design three aspects of conflict. In a communication technology has a large number of patent technology of MOTOROLA (the Po) walk first one step further.
A year ago, MOTOROLA takes the lead in the domestic market launch three paragraphs dual-core cellphone, average thickness in 13 mm or so, battery capacity for 1880 ma. And earlier this year, MOTOROLA issued new "blade" series phone DROID RAZR MAXX, thickness is only 7.1 mm, but the built-in 3300 ma of the battery, the official mark for 21 hours talk time.
SMW reporters from other including samsung (the Po), HTC, mobile phone brand companies in to understand, in the dual-core, four nuclear product line planning, the greater capacity of the battery and more low energy consumption system into the fine thin body, and also their main job of 2012. After all, who don't want to in order to competition, smashed her signature.

Deloitte: low price smartphone era or coming

Deloitte in 2012 by the telecommunications industry development trend forecast points out, the prevalence rate of $100 smart cellphones will continue to grow, to meet the rising communication and information communication needs. By the end of 2012, the low cost of the global smartphone user is expected to more than 500 million.
The report points out, along with to have similar computer based mobile phone demand function continued growth, to the end of 2012, there will be more than 500 million cell phone users using low cost (the retail price of less than $100). $100 smart phone with the rise of "get to the Internet this" (low cost, low power consumption notebook computer) the growth reason, similar to that consumers want to replace more basic cell phones, also do not need to high-end equipment power consumption or function. Emerging market Internet popularity is low, but for communication and information service demand is increasing, and therefore contains the largest business opportunities.

Android this year big challenge: various equipment upgrade chaos

Google (the Po) mobile engineering vice President and ROM history · the hammersmith Locke's (Hiroshi Lockheimer) in 2012 the mobile world congress hinted that, a new generation of Android 5.0 operating system will be released this fall. He said: "overall, Android every year a major upgrade."
Android 4.0 operating system (code name "ice cream sandwich") since its launch, accounted for only 1% of the entire Android market share. There are only a few mobile phones and tablet computers use Android 4.0. But, in addition to "pure Google" Nexus equipment outside, the existing mobile and tablet computer rarely get Android 4.0 upgrade.
Maybe to this fall, lucky Android 4.0 May become 10% market share. No doubt, then there would still be using Android 2.3 operating system of cellphones, and launch Android 4.0 ICS operating system equipment wait for upgrade.
This is we think in 2012 of Android is a key and dangerous the cause of the year. When 90% or more than 90% of the application market is not able to use API and other tools, Google to developers that these tools, what's the point? Who would like to go to those who need ICS function of the development application? And what is Android 5.0?
If the cell phone manufacturers are still in the shipment of the products version, upgrade cycle in backward, Google continues to every year to Android a major upgrade practice also does not have what meaning.
As the industry insiders Matt Burns (Matt Burns) says, Google may think that this is the strategic goal, let consumer and cell phone manufacturers have more options, but this kind of practice is still make it difficult to understand. Every year with a major upgrade, why not go into some engineering resources to help finish different manufacturers the transition between the Android platform? Inevitably the welcome by consumer.

German court ruled that MOTOROLA mobile infringe upon apple photo shows patent

Munich district court judge Peter gunter (Peter Guntz) this on Thursday ruled that MOTOROLA (the Po) mobile infringing upon the apple a relevant in the mobile equipment showing technology patents.
The decision of the court to apple is very favorable results, apple or will apply for MOTOROLA mobile on destruction in Germany, both all the unsold infringing product recall in Germany and the retailer to all of the infringing product for sale, including the MOTOROLA mobile 2 based on Android operating system of intelligent cellphone and Xoom tablet computer. But John Stuart mill and not in his blog in the case of the specific to that which is of two smart phone products.
So far, apple has not infringing products--requirements, but muller says once submitted to the court--apple application, after the very likely, MOTOROLA will transform the existing infringing products, and in the market will continue to the normal sales.
Muller says that, in the past patent case, MOTOROLA was also ruled that infringement. But then, MOTOROLA is quickly amended the infringing products, so its sales and were not defeat the bad influence of lawsuit.
MOTOROLA spokesman said: "today's ruling in Munich, involving a apple related in mobile devices' blow up the patent technology" photos show. But we have to court ruling disagree, our products in the execution 'zoom show' did not infringe the patents."

Domestic manufacturers smart phone detonated "nuclear" war

As the annual mobile communications industry event, the opening of the world on mobile communication conference (hereinafter referred to as the MWC) is window constantly, public attention in the highest smart cellphone field, the strength of the manufacturer is fierce competition. However this is different, this year to HTC huawei, zte, and as a representative of the domestic handset faction is brilliantly, its have issued so-called the fastest and most thin four nuclear flagship smartphone new product, successfully rob in nokia, samsung (the Po) and other international giant front detonated the smartphone "nuclear" war.
Chinese legion showed up
In this MWC on congress, the performance of the smartphone war into a white-hot stage, in addition to the nokia 41 million pixels released another "monster" class photos outside of mobile phones, almost all of the other mainstream the Android system of intelligent cell phone manufacturers have four nuclear product releases as the focus of the show. Among them, the "Chinese legion" performance particularly eye-catching, huawei, zte, HTC, a number of other manufacturers released by four processors flagship product. Huawei terminals of murdered President, said the move is to further improve in the global market of homebred brand awareness, relying on innovative technology products, the company in developing Chinese market this year, at the same time it will speed up into Europe, Japan and other mainstream international market, and strive to achieve the sales of smart phones this year from 2011 in 20 million to 5000-60 million the increase of goals. While huawei's old rivals zte (the Po) in the MWC released simultaneously on four nuclear and the mode 4 G type of smart cellphones, also laid out the exalted GaoDa gesture. Zte director HeShiYou revealed, zte has enacted a new mobile phone goal: smart phones this year to break the 30 million target delivery in 2015, into the global mobile phone income to the top three.
Domestic handset manufacturers in the smartphone unconventional, no doubt, benefit from China's 3 G market with the high-speed development of the strong support. Workers believe department statistics show that China added 2011 3 G users and more than 80 million, with almost half a user choose and buy smart phones, smart phones and 3 G users the positive interaction between the growth has been formed. And according to analysys international are predicting, in 2012 China 3 G users will be expected to hit the 300 million mark, smartphone sales more will be more than 150 million department, "there is such a huge market demand as support and domestic manufacturers will have unprecedented opportunities, the estimates brand breakthrough is also such as huawei, zte, and domestic handset manufacturers beat launched four nuclear smart phones to be the main goal." Guangzhou cloud consulting analyst ZhangXing said.
Chip giant escalation
"Especially in the Android platform smartphone market, high end users for performance index value, this makes the quite big mobile phone manufacturer in the brand competition have as a key competitive performance improvement. But the nucleation is the most direct performance improvement method, therefore whether at the beginning of the year, or the CES MWC manufacturer's flagship products will be introduced first four nuclear platform as the technology innovation strength showing their key." ZhangXing says according to each big manufacturers of plans announced, in the second quarter of this year, smart phones in high-end market more than the nuclear war will officially began.
"In fact behind this and the power of the smart phone chip manufacturers push." War state policy chief analysts YangQunZe told reporters, previously in intelligent mobile phone chips field, qualcomm monolith, but from last year, the cargo, Texas instruments, inc., mediatek inc. (the Po) have to join the chapter, "this kind of competition situation undoubtedly promote the nucleation process more than chip." In fact is not only these traditional cell phone chip giant, even cross the chip giant Intel is also the PC is accelerating its penetration mobile phone chips the pace of the market. In this MWC, Intel official released three brand-new smartphone system chip products plan will be the product series from the high performance product development to cost-effective products market segment. Intel President and CEO Paul otellini is high-key and MOTOROLA announced the move and a strategic cooperation association, after this year Intel will also and British operators Orange, India operators Lava and zte cooperation introduced a new smartphone, related products will be in the second half of 2012 and early 2013 officially land market, now account for smart cellphones chip market leading position of qualcomm make a strong challenge.
And in order to deal with the potential threat, qualcomm also announced in the MWC would come into the main high-end market Xiao dragon processor professional edition, with a more powerful 3 D graphics performance upgrade to meet the challenge of rival. For this kind of intelligent terminal chip field more competitive situation of accelerating the nucleation, independent analysts said IT industry SunYongJie for consumers, this means that more choice will be a good thing, but to the manufacturer speaking, will too much energy on hardware performance competition and non-commercial mode or product experience on innovation, and had the potential to competitive situation more homogeneity intensified.
