Chapter 331 Lost Front Alliance
But not all countries and regions are so positive and positive.
In Japan, the reaction is quite different at this time.
Of course this is not surprising. Whenever news related to Feng Yiping appears, they always have some "ingenious" interpretations.
At this time, there was a big quarrel over the Internet. Why in this alliance, there are five companies in China, two in South Korea, but we only have one?
And it's a telecom operator? - They saw Sony Ericsson, but Sony Ericsson is not a purely their company. It is a company that each holds 50% of the shares, and even its headquarters is located in London.
And we are a world-renowned power in electronics and communication technology.
Even companies like Lenovo, Huawei, and LG have become founding members. What about our Fujitsu, our nec, and our Kyocera?...
Why aren't they?
Speaking of which, this time, it’s really not their weird angle. There are other reasons why there are no companies related to them except telecom operators. In addition to Feng Yiping’s usual perception of them, there are other reasons.
In short, Feng Yiping really missed them when he was all the world.
Netizens there quickly also talked about this, saying that this was entirely because of Android's intentional exclusion, so we must boycott Android. Not only should we boycott it, but our industry should also develop products that are better than Android.
What products are there that we can't make?
But these keyboard warriors' indignant suggestions did not receive much positive feedback.
After all, there are still some people who understand. Not only do they know that in the field of mobile communications, they are indeed far inferior to before.
Sony Eslite, who performed best, has suffered large losses this year and laid off thousands of employees worldwide.
Nec, which was originally a little splashing abroad, obviously couldn't hold on, so it's hard to say that it was being excluded.
After all, the Open Mobile Alliance’s requirements for founding members are indeed very high.
As for developing a similar operating system, no one has responded.
In this regard, they are not much better, nor have they accumulated much.
In fact, just think about this research and development difficulty and you will have an intuitive understanding.
Nokia, it’s amazing, but you see, they have invested so much resources to develop and promote the Symbian system, which is comparable to Android?
Moreover, after having Android, if you develop similar products, there will definitely be more technical barriers, that is, it will be more difficult.
The most important thing is who can guarantee that it can quickly form a first-class ecosystem like Android now?
To be honest, the timing of Android is really the best.
When so many mobile phone companies around the world are trying to develop products that can compete with iPhones, Android just came out of nowhere and was free to source. It was really like barefoot encountering shoes, or dry firewood encountering fire, and it hit it off immediately.
But when the next product comes out, because Android already has it, the start will never be as easy as Android, because we all know that the system thing is not as simple as changing.
What's more, from a professional perspective, Android is really excellent enough. With its current leading position, it is not easy to develop a product that is better than it and more popular than it?
Not to mention, at the founding conference, the Open Mobile Alliance had already promised to continue to join the members.
So, under the current bad economic situation, and when the electronics and communication fields that they had already had advantages were increasingly marginalized, several companies would make such determination to spend huge amounts of money to rashly enter a field where they had no accumulation to gain a not-so-full future?
Although these insiders have the arrogance of the island country, they are not as arrogant as they think that they will be even better than Nokia.
Therefore, the indignation of japan netizens failed to splash in the end.
But they are not without fellow travelers.
Or, Laurence Fink, who felt lost and frustrated, and Edward Johnson, were not short of companions.
At this time, the slogan of the 2008 Olympics, "The same world, the same dream" is well known to everyone. If you apply it, you can say that it is, "The same world, the same loss."
When Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson left San Francisco with complex moods, many media outlets in Europe where Nokia was located also expressed concern about these two things.
Maybe I feel that Nokia is a little overwhelmed. This is the king of the mobile phone industry that is trying hard behind the scenes. Old Europe's views on this are quite consistent.
They believe that this giant alliance that combines all important links in the smartphone ecosystem will certainly help the development of smartphones, but we cannot ignore the negative impact of such alliances.
Imagine that if Android becomes popular all over the world in the future, it will indeed have a positive impact on operators, chip manufacturers, and application software developers, because as long as the shipment of smartphones increases, these groups can maintain huge profits.
But isn’t there no negative impact?
Obviously not.
For example, mobile phone manufacturers will definitely face tremendous pressure in the future.
After passing through the early stages of rapid development, the efforts and benefits made by mobile phone manufacturers will definitely be far disproportionate.
The deep reason is that members of the Open Mobile Phone Alliance need to maintain Android compatibility, which will inevitably lead to homogeneous competition among mobile phone manufacturers.
This is actually an example.
We all know that Wintel Alliance has effectively promoted the development and popularization of personal computers.
But it is also precisely because of the Wintel Alliance that PC manufacturers can only develop in the direction of hardware competition. At present, all PC manufacturers are reluctant but helpless to enter the era of low profits.
From this perspective, today of PC manufacturers is the tomorrow of mobile phone manufacturers.
Therefore, this so-called mobile Internet era - just call it this way, although it will certainly develop greatly due to the emergence of Android, but Android will definitely limit and affect its development in the future.
Even if it is success or failure, Xiao He means...
In short, the view of old Europe is not surprising, and the reaction they reacted when they saw the United States, China, and surpassed them in some fields: in fact, it is better to be our old trick!
But it won't take long to make them refute their own opinions by using their own actions. They will definitely be very happy to use smartphones with Android systems...
If you can’t eat grapes, you will feel that grapes are sour.
After seeing the feedback from Europe, Rubin even suggested to Feng Yiping, "Feng, do we want to talk to Nokia again?"
Feng Yiping was a little surprised that Rubin was still so energetic after being targeted by Apple and Jobs. Perhaps this guy has stubborn vitality like Xiaoqiang?
"I said, man, we can be proud, but it's not too much to be overly obsessed. Contact Nokia at this time, what kind of response do you hope to get?"
From yesterday's press conference to the present, Android has become the most popular fan of the smartphone field. Even if it is mentioned, it will be the object of the opposite and the highlight.
At this time, Android came to Nokia, which was definitely a curse.
"Of course, at the right time, we can't make such an attempt,"
Has Nokia produced mobile phones equipped with Android systems? Feng Yiping really can't remember it clearly.
However, when putting themselves in the shoes of Feng Yiping, he felt that when the Saipan system was not in the future and their mobile phones were not in the mood, it was really hard to rule out that they might be able to put aside their faces and produce smartphones equipped with Android systems.
"But you must remember one thing: when you come into contact with them, you must be correct," he also specifically reminded.
Also, when did Nokia start selling itself? Feng Yiping only remembers that Microsoft was the owner of Nokia in the end.
"I understand, just like in front of a late hero, you need to show enough respect? I understand," Rubin said.
In fact, the same is true in front of a twilight beauty.
"And guys, we don't have time to be proud now. We must work closely with mobile phone manufacturers to launch terminal products that will surprise everyone as soon as possible."
What exactly does Android have to say? In the end, they have to speak on their phones, so they can see how various media praise them, but they must admit that Apple is still ahead of them at this time.
