Android activation amount breaks 1 billion behind

Five years ago in Beijing September 25, Google officially released the rumored "GPhone" ——— t G1 (HTC Dream), the first smartphone to run the Android operating system. There was already an Apple iphone on the market. Jobs was furious at the birth of Android, thinking it was a stark plagiarism of the iphone. Five years later, Chowa owners have long Xianyou, Android devices have more than 1 billion activation number. Looking back at the history of Android, the product philosophy of the major brands in the early years was quite consistent ——— close to the iphone and come closer. And now, with the end of September oppo N1, samsung Galaxy Note3, LG G2, cool 4, and so on a variety of new machines take turns to go for example, you will find that these brands, although the same push Android system models, but they rely on the magic weapon has been very different, the product is no longer "thousand In turn, from the mobile-phone brand's point of view, Android, a free gadget provided by Google for more than five years, has become a subtler identity. CM founder unveiled the revelation of Oppo September 2, the enchantment in the Water Cube released MX3, opened a head. One months after the new machine, in addition to the iphone, all the Android camp products. OPPO CEO Chen Mingyong said this September is "dazzling", he hopes that 23rd night, his own release OPPO N1 can draw a perfect end. N1 press conference scene, the appearance of the spokesperson Chen let the fans excited unceasingly. And for the industry, especially Android phone enthusiasts, the world's largest android Third-party compiler team CyanogenMod (commonly known as cm) founder of Steve Kondik was Chen Mingyong invited to the scene, is really exciting them. "N1 was supported by the CM system to become CyanogenMod's only officially supported Chinese manufacturer and will be in deep cooperation with CM," Chen Mingyong said in a press conference. "All along, Oppo's killer in the smart machine is" to the United States, "the hardware and the model, N1 is no exception-the biggest selling point is 13 million pixel can rotate the lens and the back of the fuselage trackpad. Chen Mingyong Frankly, the past Oppo software is often the user "spit slot", so this time to create a new software system "Color OS." Let Oppo mobile phone in the software can also have "to the United States" performance. It is said that N1 will launch two versions of the color OS and cm system, or both. In fact, regardless of color OS, CM, or Millet Miui, the FlyMe OS of the Phantom, are derived from the Android system products. Only in the context of open source, Google's control of these derivatives is less and less, so that 5 years after the birth of Android, has become its unexpected "new appearance." Native andWhere's roid? CM's production team is named Cyanogen. Also in September, Cyanogen announced that it had received $7 million in investment from Benchmark Capital and Redpoint ventures. Let's start with the "group of Interest" model, a third-party Android ROM team that relies solely on word-of-mouth to turn itself into a really presentable company. According to its official statement, the purpose of the financing is to make CM more than the BlackBerry system and Microsoft's WP system, after the official Android and Apple iOS after the world's third largest mobile phone operating system. According to CM CEO Kirt McMaster, there are now more than 8 million users in CM, which only agree to upload the data to the Cyanogen user. According to its estimate, the actual user volume will reach 2-3 times. A review of CM's history was born of a user's vocal opposition to the native Android system. Steve Kondik says many of the phones on the market are not at all trying to make people feel good. After all, they just want to make money. We want to help you improve your efficiency and fully explore the potential. CM is a prominent typical of the folk production team. In fact, mobile phone brands, whether private groups or oppo and millet, have aggressively "moved knives" on Android to make the system more approachable to users, doing things that native Android didn't or didn't think of. But also because of this, when Google announces Android Terminal activation amount to break through 1 billion, the real still retains the original Android appearance terminal, very few. Google's bottom line, including the cool, Lenovo, and many of the domestic smartphone brand executives have been to the South reporters said that the early choice of Android as a product system, the main reason is open source. Open source means that the software end does not need authorization fees, and in the past the cool pie in the use of wince system to produce mobile phones, the need to pay the Microsoft to the Taiwan licensing fees. However, Android has grown to today, and the various "free actions" of the downstream have made the system quite fragmented-with all versions of Android in the market, and at first many brands will expect Android to launch a new version and sell it as a "gimmick" to the user. And now they're becoming less aware of the new version, because that might mean that the optimizations they're doing on Android will come back. "The system is open source, but our optimized investment can be real gold and silver." "A third-party ROM developer, the founder of the South reporters said. It is worth noting that, in the face of all kinds of free play based on Android, Google is not all of the total receipts, it still has the bottom line. September 13, 2012, Acer and Alibaba planned joint release will be temporarily canceled, when Alibaba said to South reporters, the reason for the cancellation is Acer's newThe mobile phone uses Alibaba's Aliyun operating system, so Google put pressure on Acer, Google officials later admitted this statement, said Aliyun changed the infrastructure of Android, there are risks. 5 years later, 1 billion, perhaps Android is not what Google originally planned, but it is still sticking to some bottom line. It's just that the bottom line is getting thinner as Android developers deepen the system and the "bedfellows" of the various partners. South Fangnan Reporter
