Open intelligence operation system is more suitable for China
Article by Celia
In recent years, Google and apple in the mobile Internet field has-been, their excellences. However, they have essence the difference, apple’s iOS is closed intelligence operation system, Google’s Android is open intelligence operation system. Many people are thinking: open and close, which is better or worse? What’s the more suitable for China?
A, Google and apple: rat race
Now, in the mobile Internet field had two of the most dazzling star is an apple and Google.
Recently, a news report said, apple App Store online download of break through the 15 billion times, and at present the apple App Store application has more than 500000, and among them iPad of the number of applications has more than 100000. Apple also because of the App Store for the success of apple had brought great benefits, according to CiTibank forecast, apple in 2011 sales App will reach $ 2 billion.
And then to the other a strong rival Google. Recent foreign media reports, at present, the Google Android Market growth as the application of online download of the total has reached 6 billion times, and the application of Android Market number more than 250000. In fact, the number has been change, the author of in on August 9, 2011 inquires the androlib.com web site to see the Android Market applications and games of the cumulative amount has reached about 460000.
They are both strong performances, not only let yourself for a lot of market share, will also closely contact smartphone and tablet computer has rampaged through the market. They will not only former Microsoft and mobile phone operating system overlord overlord nokia force had to cooperate, also in smart phones will former mobile terminal area in MOTO, SONY Ericsson, samsung and LG black cherry and a large number of well-known brand far left behind.
Second, open and close: each has his strong point
Say to the open and Google Android apple cisco iOS closed, it is optimal ripe bad? This is not to generalize, in fact they each has his strong point.
The advantage of the open system mainly reflects in: first, the system of the code open up to the outside world, can let the developers have bigger play freedom; Second, can lower the cost of development; Third, can have the more broad cooperation space, such as the current and apple Android cooperation manufacturer much more special; Fourth, the application of the audit process is simple.
The advantage of a closed system mainly reflects in: first, the system standard, the system’s vulnerabilities less; Second, a unified interface and interactive design, to bring a better user experience; Third, the master of the system code number of manufacturers, the corresponding terminal type less less, it is necessary to develop application version number is less; Fourth, the development of application is more normative, frame rate under low.
The open system mainly embodied in the disadvantages: first, a system of freedom after result in modifying more holes; Second, the developers have to deal with DuoZhong terminal type, and then increased workload; development disguised Third, the development of application is low, and regulating the procedures under the frame rate is higher.
The inferiority of closed system mainly reflects in: first, developers, not certain degrees of freedom, many things can’t modify the bottom; Second, the application of the audit process is more complicated; Third, can’t and terminal manufacturers extensive cooperation.
Three, opening and China: more fit
The world everything has a long have short, Google Android and apple iOS is no exception. As long as they give full play to their strengths, based on their own market can field. We will further think is, for Chinese companies, what exactly is the open system, or closed system? The author thinks that, from the overall, open intelligent operating system is more suitable for national conditions of China.
First, open free application to larger ratio, it is more suitable for China’s national conditions. Now open Google’s Android Market proportion far outweigh the apple free application cisco iOS App Store of free application. According to the statistical data DISTIMO in March 2011, the number of Android applications free has reached 134000, compared to the iPhone 122000 free application, has more than 12000 DuoGe number. And this premise or based on Android Market applications than App Store total application under the premise of less. In fact, the free application number more Android maybe in China will have even more market, because according to China’s current consumption level, most users more like free application. Of course, in the application of free users have to bear more of the embedded advertising, advertising and embedded way at creative will appear to be more important.
Second, China will need more open than the global system of support in the smart phone, low price. According to the Juniper Research for the next five years (from now to 2016 years) smartphone market, is expected to go on five years the biggest smartphone market is cheap smartphone (151-399). Worldwide have this kind of demand forecasting and for income level is not high in China will need to lower the price of more smart phones. In fact, a friend in the first quarter of 2011 released by the union data also showed that the domestic Android. The report says: over the past six months, the flow and application of domestic Android user to quickly growth; Android is two head growth trend terminal, high-end and low-end machine machine share in gradually increasing. Believe that the next several years, China in the low price of smart phones will demand more big.
Third, the Android in China second city will make the rise of domestic enterprise benefit. In the first quarter of 2011 friends union domestic Android data indicate that the distribution of provinces and cities to see, from second city in the Android share growth; Second city homebred brand relative higher share of; Local application store is domestic user obtaining the main channel of the application of. This information for the domestic mobile terminal manufacturer and application developers are the Gospel. On the one hand, the next few years 1500 yuan of the following Android low-end machine market will is domestic mobile phone manufacturer, the chance of terminal, of course, this level of mobile phones may be relatively weaker consumer spending in the second city will be more popular; On the other hand, because Android application store for China to pay limits, and foreign Chinese version of the application, the insufficient for domestic application developers and application platform providers are offering more opportunity. Of course, suggest the application of domestic developers can best provide free and at the same time pay two versions, after all, can’t forget mentioned in the Chinese consumer habits.
In short, generally speaking, the open Google Android operating system for intelligent Chinese enterprises may bring more opportunities, especially intelligent mobile phone manufacturer and application developers. This is mainly because of the opening of the Google Android and the cooperation space bigger, and Android free program higher proportion and Chinese consumers spending overall lower reasons. Hope that domestic relevant enterprises can grasp opportunity is improved by leaps and bounds, with the mobile Internet pace
