Chapter 339 The status quo of mobile games and Andy's persistence
The first mobile game in history, Tetris, was born in 1994, but this incident did not attract enough attention from the giant Nintendo at that time.
In the following years, mobile phones developed very rapidly: in 1997, Nokia launched the 6110 mobile phone with "Snake" built-in, and in 1998, Siemens launched the world's first color screen phone S10. And by the time of 1998-2003, PDA mobile phones had quietly emerged.
Microsoft's WM system and Palm system. At the same time, some ordinary mobile phones have also developed smart systems in order to make breakthroughs, such as Nokia's Symbian and RIM's BlackBerry. This type of mobile phone is gradually collectively called "smartphones".
This kind of pseudo-intelligent program mobile phone can only rely on JAVA programs to install some JAVA software or games, such as JAVA reading, JAVA version of Persian prince, rally racing, etc.
From 1994 to 2006, mobile phones developed smartphones that could match Sony's PS home game consoles, such as the N-Gage launched by Nokia in 2003, and the subsequent N-Gage QD launched a year later. It is the same phone as the handheld console. I think many people will still have an impression or keep it at home.
At this time, mobile games were already blooming everywhere. The picture quality was also between GBA and PSP. However, due to the lack of a unified store, the quality and sales of mobile games were far from competing with Nintendo's GAME BOY series.
In addition to smartphones, there are also very DA-style palm phones that try to enter the handheld machine market. This type of handheld machine is generally not allowed to make phone calls, but it also has functions that far exceed GBA. In fact, it is PDA with a layer of cross keys and AB keys.
For example, the Tapwave Zodiac, which was released in 2003, is a palm-to-handle phone based on the Palm operating system. This palm-to-handle phone cannot make phone calls, it is a multimedia palm-to-handle phone similar to PSP. Its final sales are 200,000 units.
Shanda of Rabbit Kingdom also launched a palm-to-hand machine in 2006, and the famous "Legend" games released at the same time made money from the palm. Unfortunately, in 2006, the network foundation of Rabbit Kingdom was immature, and it was not popular to play online games on the palm-to-hand machine at that time. Soon, the handheld machine also withdrew from the market.
In 2004, the two most fierce enemies in the history of handheld consoles, NDS and PSP, began a fight.
PSP is like a mini version of PS2. It has traditional core masterpieces such as "God of War", "Monster Hunter P3", "Rider Racing", "Metal Equipment and Parallelizer", and "Second Robot War Z". Of course, PSP can also run PS games perfectly, which can be regarded as bringing an era to the palm of your hand.
Andy knows that people nowadays generally believe that mobile phones are used to make phone calls and send text messages. Mobile games are just a gimmick, while PDA palm phones are usually priced at one or two thousand or even more than three thousand. So to play real palm game, you still have to buy palm phones.
So, he now said that he wanted to develop a mobile game that had been hit by the handheld machine. He could not find the North mobile game. Only then would Blair and other management agree to it.
And to be honest, many people are very disdainful of the smartphone era advocated by Andy. It is not a joke. Even Jobs doesn't understand why this young man is more confident than him.
This is not an exaggeration. Faced with the thousands of game and software applications that the systems developed by Microsoft and Nokia matched, to be honest, Ai Chuang, which can only support music playback, has no advantage.
Apple and Jobs initially really built this phone to consolidate the position of the IPOD and at the same time gave Microsoft and Nokia a starting point to make trouble.
Andy knew that Apple's Ai Crazy Mobile would be successful in the future and almost wiped out all traditional mobile phone giants, but now he said that he would not believe him even if he was going to do it.
Jobs became the god because of the success of Love Crazy, but some time ago, after the press conference of Love Crazy 1, Microsoft smiled and Nokia also smiled. In their opinion, Apple launched this product as a suicide. You should know that Apple has been making losses for several years because of her early years of love with Microsoft to fight the home computer platform system. At this time, she did not try to make achievements in the home computer system, but she was using IPOD mobile phones. She was really a brain-dead + a psychopath.
This is the reality in 2007, without exaggeration or demeaning anyone. Jobs proved great afterwards, of course, that was his success.
But now, Andy Smith, who is the only one who charges ahead and has great confidence in smartphones, has various advocacy in the media. For Nokia and Microsoft, this inconspicuous little brat is like a clown.
As a time traveler, he has the eyes to see through the future, but at the same time he has to endure pain and depression that others cannot understand. Andy also knows how some technology newspapers are teasing him and how various IT bosses are laughing at him as a little kid. Of course, what disappoints him the most is the silence and lack of confidence of Jobs and Apple.
Andy knew that Love Crazy was a little dark horse that emerged from nowhere. It came to this world happily. There was a birthmark of a rotten apple on its back, and several English letters were written below - iphone.
In fact, this is good. At least Andy Smith has stolen too much of the limelight and halo from Jobs, because after Apple's success, everyone will remember who they were swollen in the face. Andy Smith and Jobs may be tied up and appear in various reports to lead this era.
Andy's excellence and forward-looking vision will give him a huge voice in the future. This is the most important point when he doesn't care about being ridiculed and laughed, and still insists on what he said that the real era of smartphones has arrived.
In the conference room, Andy was standing alone in front of the window, looking at the afterglow of the sunset, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts were flying where they were.
The meeting had long since ended. The plan for the mobile game "Fruit Swordsman" set up a project team under his ducai. The company could only accept the big boss' decision. Blair tried to persuade him again, but Andy's attitude was very firm.
Andy won't do anything stupid as a king pioneer, he won't fail, the future of mobile games is extremely bright. What he thinks now is not just about mobile games.
Some people may ask, why not make a mobile phone? Apple is just starting out, why not do it yourself?
However, when he thought of the old fox he was facing and was known for his greed and stingy Jobs, he really didn't have much confidence to snatch this piece of meat from his mouth. Moreover, what Jobs liked to do the most was to do the domineering market, maximize profits, and betray his partners and work alone.
There is no doubt that Jobs is a genius, but he has a moral disadvantage and is well-known that he is very difficult to get along with.
Dongdong.
When Andy heard the knock on the door, he did not look back and still looked out the window.
"Boss, just now..."
Andy raised his arm and stopped Blair from continuing, "You just did what you thought you should do, it's nothing, is there anything?"
Blair finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the meeting just ended, the boss had been staying in the conference room and not going out. He thought the boss was angry because everyone did not support the mobile game project. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.
"The personnel, equipment and venues of the "Fruit Swordsman" development team have been handled."
Andy turned to look at him, nodded and asked, "Call Apple to make an appointment, and said I want to meet Jobs to discuss a business, and I think he will meet me. After all, I have greeted him a long time ago, and he must want to meet me!"
"Is it because of the IOS system? I think if we add game applications to his system, they will be very welcome and should be used for the IOS system in advance. After all, we should be the first to use the software application based on this mobile system." Blair knew that it would not be possible to change the boss's decision, so he needed to change his mind and try his best to do his executive's work.
"They will use the IOS system in advance, but what I want is not this. Alas, it's really a headache. Jobs is such a headache!" Andy said with a wry smile. In short, as long as he expresses his intentions, Jobs will definitely see the value of it. Will he leave it alone? It depends on whether he has confidence in his Apple Ai Crazy Mobile.
