Introduction: Foreign media wrote today that Google's new Android business director Sandar Pi Sundar Pichai will shoulder the task of consolidating its two platforms, but analysts believe that Pice's first task is to solve the problem of Android platform fragmentation, Bring some sort of "order" to the Android ecosystem. The following is the full text of the article: "The father of Android," Google announced in Wednesday, the Chrome business director Pice will replace the "father of Android" Rubin (Andy Rubin), director of the Android business. "Like Apple's iphone, Google's Android success has revolutionized the entire mobile industry," said Jeff Kagan, US telecoms analyst Jeff Kagan. This is an incredible shift, and Google's success is partly due to Rubin. That's why the outside world is so curious about his departure. We may never know the real reason. This is a hard work, he may just feel too tired. Android is one of Google's brightest businesses and will continue to grow and change rapidly. "Carolina Milanesi, vice president of Gartner Research at the Market Research Institute, said she was also very surprised to hear of Rubin's departure, but then thought about it and thought it was a logical decision," Na Milanis. "This is to move the Android platform to the next chapter," Donato said. Rubin's mission has been largely completed. The platform has been successful, and now all work revolves around ecosystems and finding a better commercial model. "Android phones accounted for two-thirds of the global smartphone shipments in 2012, but the Android phone did not perform evenly," Gartner data showed. There are a number of Android versions on the market, and handset makers do not necessarily have the latest version on their new products. In addition, since the decision to upgrade the operating system is in the hands of handset makers rather than Google, handset products are not always synchronized with the latest version of Android. Android platform Fragmentation in fact, the Android fragmentation problem is only getting more complex. The next Android version, code-named "Lime Pie" (Key Lime Pie), is expected to debut at Google's upcoming product launch, with a version number of "5.0", but many products are still using the Android 2.x version. "He needs to put an end to this mess and get the system upgraded in order," said Ted Schadler, vice president and lead analyst at Tede Chadelles, the Market Research Institute. "He also believes that the presence of different versions of Android poses a lot of problems for application developers, so it needs to create an idealEnvironment, let application developers have confidence in the future direction of Android. In addition, Chadelles points out, Pice is faced with several other tasks: "He needs to be more proactive in establishing links with key OEMs (OEMs), not just OEM like Samsung, but Dell and HP." Leather-mining should let these manufacturers know that they will play a role in driving the Android platform. In addition, he needs to focus on privacy and security issues, from the operating system level, to solve the mobile device management, enterprise-class security services and other ecosystem issues. "To open a new chapter in addition to Android, Lippi is expected to shoulder the responsibility of integrating Google's mobile business with Chrome OS." "In the next few years, we will see that Google will integrate Android and Chrome," Kagan said. Previously, Google's work revolved around stand-alone devices, but in the future they would run together under a cloud platform. The future will be a completely different situation from the present, and it will change dramatically. "Google is destined to be a winner if it integrates its two main platforms," said a number of analysts. "The benefits are great," says Ray Wang, chief analyst and CEO of Constellation Research, a market researcher Lei. As for Rubin, his career prospects in Google are still unclear. Larry Page, Google's CEO, said Post, who announced the change, that Rubin would "open a new chapter in Google." "It's clear that Rubin is doing a great job of spreading and popularizing the Android platform," Lei said. He does not have to worry about his future, and there will be a very good chance for him to choose. "(Qing Chen)
