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."
MOTOROLA spokesman added: "we expect today's ruling will eventually won't MOTOROLA products sales any impact, because at the same time we also updated the browse photos of products, and the new operating mode function not to affect the user experience."
Apple is still not to make any comment on the ruling
