Welcome to the new era of mobile Internet applications

Welcome to the new era of mobile Internet applications

Many people ask me, what are your most favored technologies and applications in 2009? It is very simple, that is, mobile Internet applications.

With the deepening of information technology, people's requirements for information technology development are no longer satisfied with "more powerful performance, lower latency, and faster processing speed ", instead, it is about the consideration of time and space, that is, people expect that information processing is "ubiquitous and never available ".

In recent years, the mature hardware technology and the development of chip technology have epoch significance for mobile devices. They not only have lower power consumption, but also completely and smoothly transplant applications based on traditional PCs. In particular, 3G networks have made breakthroughs in high-speed network functions while further popularizing wireless network applications. These have created conditions and opportunities for Internet applications based on mobile devices.

The hardware is more mature, the network speed is faster, and the popularity of users is higher. Is the mobile Internet application formed? This is certainly impossible, because the most important part is missing: software.

Internet applications based on mobile devices are a three-in-one concept, "mobile devices + software + Internet ". As a user, he holds a mobile device. He does not know what the mobile device can do, or he wants to do something but does not know where to start. These problems need to be guided and implemented by software, hardware is only supported by the form, while software is the soul ".

If you have to find a brain in the software, it must be an operating system. Only on such a platform can the application software function and implement a wide range of applications. The midinux of Hongqi is an operating system customized to meet General requirements. It is mainly used in mid (mobile Internet device) products. Let's note a set of data from ABI Research: in the context that UMPC has paved the way for mid, the initial average price of mid should be around $500, by 2012, it will fall to about $285; the MID market will grow from a small number of devices in 2008 to 2012 in 90 million.

This set of data not only reflects the current market situation, but also expectations for the future market. Mid is just getting started. It also requires continuous improvement and improvement in software and hardware environments to meet increasingly rich application requirements. Fortunately, over the past year, manufacturers in the mid industry chain have made a lot of efforts, such as Intel's Atom processor and menlow, shift its powerful computer chip design and manufacturing capabilities to a smaller PC. The Hongqi midinux2.0 system provides consumers with a stronger mobile Internet experience, and work with OEMs to achieve large-scale production in the future and reduce prices.

Hardware and software have been comprehensively improved. The start of 3G networks is a boost, which brings an acceleration to Internet applications based on mobile devices. 3G network innovation is not only a function or a bright spot when we call each other, but it is not decisive, after all, although we cannot see each other for more than 100 years, it does not affect our call. In my opinion, 3G networks bring about revolutionary Internet applications based on 3G networks, and these applications are implemented on mobile devices, A high-speed, low-latency 3G network can bring better user experience and achieve mobile device "bullying ".

Last year, it was called the First Year of mobile Internet by many people. This year, there was a new term: the first year of 3G. What about next year? It may have been the first year of 3G network-based mobile Internet.

This is the trend we can see and the direction we are constantly striving for breakthroughs.
