Baidu to develop mobile operating system boot a second into the search box

http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11751.html "> Baidu CEO Robin Li said the company plans to develop an operating system for mobile devices, a strategy that once again shows that Baidu will follow Google's pace .

Robin Li said Baidu plans to develop software in the next three to five years that will allow users to use a Web search box within a second of launching a smartphone or tablet. Robin Li said: "An operating system needs to run (a lot of processing), but if we turn it into almost just a search box, then the task will be much simpler."

Robin Li further states: "It now takes 45 seconds for an iPhone user to boot up, and in the future, a user can start using the search box within a second of switching on the phone, which is our mission for the future of the Internet. "

Robin Li's remarks about what he calls "box computing" (box computing) strategy to make the most clear description, but also shows that the final result may be similar to the Google Chrome OS operating system. Google announced the launch of the operating system in July 2009, targeting users who access the Internet mainly from their mobile phones or computers. In this system, web browsers and media players are the only preinstalled applications.

Robin Li had said earlier that he wanted to turn the web search box into a common computing tool that could replace all other interfaces and "the goal was to get people increasingly dependent on the Baidu search box." He said Baidu plans to first develop a wide range of new uses for search boxes that will not be available until after the search box has the ability to do all of this and we will be able to ensure that users can use it within a second after booting search bar".

Robin Li also said that the latest trends in the Internet, such as online video and social media, may challenge the dominance of search, which "may not have direct competition with search, but in the end it is A media age. "If users spend a lot of time on A things, they naturally spend less time on B things."

Western observers often criticize China Internet companies as a clone of their Western counterparts. Google has moved its Chinese web search service from China to Hong Kong a year ago. According to Internet research firm Analysys, Google's share of China's online search market has dropped to 19.6% and Baidu's share has risen to More than 75%.
