On cottage phone and Android "15" conclusion

Last November, talking with people about the prospect of a cottage version of Android smartphones, initially felt the problem was easy to answer. But after few words, not only the listener is dazed, but also the speaker himself is aware of the disorder, persuasion is not strong. So I decided to write a few articles and put the question to the point. The so-called expansion said that was expected to be only 35 of the size of the article.

Did not think, just wrote to the 2nd chapter of time, attracted a lot of controversy and criticism. Think twice, feel dragonfly water like a shallow, difficult to say the question thoroughly. Then, starting from scratch, comb the hardware and software system of traditional function phone, and analyze the hardware and software system of today's smart phone based on this.

Write to the 7th chapter, on the MTK function phone software system, inevitably involved in the 2G network structure. In the discussion with netizens, we talked about the open source Base station project (OPENBTS). This topic is very interesting, it is worth to spend a bit more to say a few words, at the same time in order to avoid affecting the cottage phone series of articles of the spindle, so another open series, specifically to discuss the OPENBTS.

The plan at that time, the Openbts as a primer, led to cognitive radio this cutting-edge technology, and then cut into the real theme, three nets fusion (Triple Play) and MBMS (multimedia broadcast multicast Service). But this series, written in the 2nd chapter, felt two battles and the burden was unbearable. So stepped on a sudden braking, even the formality of the finish also ignored.

Later, in the 11th and 12th chapters on the 3G network, there is a problem: for the internet, there is a content distribution network such as Akamai (Delivery), for mobile Internet, content distribution network is also imperative. But where is Akamai, the mobile internet? The question is also very interesting, and it is necessary to start talking about it. But digging pits easy pits difficult, future, so decided to stick to focus, avoid branching topic.

After completing the 13th chapter of the initial discussion on the OS of smartphones, it was intended to compare winmobile, Iphoneos, Android, Palm webOS and so on in the popular smartphone operating system. However, the design of the operating system of the smartphone is no longer a purely technical problem, but relates to the division and collaboration of the mobile phone research and manufacturing industry chain, as well as the competition strategy of each manufacturer. Industrial chain, competitive strategy, this is another topic worth careful discussion.

Whether good or bad, as a technical analysis, this series written to the 14th chapter, basically can be finished.

Mobile Internet, as a new thing, there are many commercial and technical problems, in our view, any problem is an opportunity, the opportunity lies in the ability to find effective solutions. Next series, we follow this idea, the mobile internet to do a superficial economic analysis.
