Siri moves to see who can win the war

Microsoft has always had the tradition of burning soy sauce (MSN, LIVE, Bing, Zune, Kin ... too many failed examples, Xbox and Kinect for a few years to burn only N years have profitable projects.) Microsoft money more, but As the number one company in the market, Apple money more ... Microsoft is the PC age boss may never have the opportunity to change because the desktop era is a passing era Mobile Windows Mobile opportunities are slim, because it does not have Apple Complete ecosystem, there are many Android partners fans.A system to succeed, the key must see the application.Apple Store has more than 500,000 models, Android has 300,000 models.Microsoft to come too late , How many opportunities it has? Persuade consumers to choose a non-mainstream system is to be justified, users need to cost to migrate the system, not to mention there is a strong Network Effect (network effect: the more value the more people , The higher the viscosity, such as FaceTime, iMessage only iOS device interoperability.) Desktop operating system and mobile OS is too large difference, if Microsoft can not handle the heavyweight applications, if not in the short term to attract a large number of deve loper for its development of enough programs (100,000 +), only to engage in beautiful interface (but also Apple) kind of stuff is absolutely nothing more terrifying is the user's idea: "Microsoft is only the desktop king, and in the field of mobile Just a loser "such opinion once formed, it is difficult to change.Was basically WM system in the few years that can be met, still doomed to be a soy sauce, as for the concentration of soy sauce is not important.

Nokia, RIM has long been the defeat of Apple, is nothing more than the problem of premature death and death. Samsung is Google's most capable brother: premier industrial integration, first-class industrial design, all the core components of the production (screen, CPU, memory, Flash Storage ...) coupled with a strong marketing team and extensive industry partnerships ... Although Apple relies on high-margin hardware and software business models, profits first, but Apple's stress on Samsung, in recent months Litigation battle to know.HDP also tender point, is a shrunk a few laps of Samsung only, won Google to win Samsung, HTC smoothly incidentally to pick up.

Amazon is a low-profile alien, a hidden tiger. Has the world's largest online store, but you do not think it is Dangdang Jingdong electricity supplier. In the United States, Amazon play more things, light Amazon B2C class business There are traditional Amazon WebStudio, Music / Video sales and leasing (iTunes), Kindle hardware + resourceful ebook sales (iPod + iTunes mode), Amazon AppStore, Amazon Cloud Drive, games / software / audiobooks Digital Product Distribution ... Q1 2011, Amazon 38% Growth, Turnover 16% More Than Google, Brand Value Beyond Wal-Mart ... Take a look at Amazon's thriving business:

Take a look at Amazon's Web Services and S3 cloud storage technology-driven companies:

Do you still think Amazon is just an online store?

If you agree that the future is the era of mobile Internet, Jobs said the "post-PC era," then the fundamental future competition is not just terminal equipment, but the integration of resources and business, platform-level competition and entrance dispute! From this perspective, Amazon is the most extensive business chain, is the largest monster! Amazon Although there is no mobile phone (Kindle Fire has $ 199 listed), you think Xiaomi, Alibaba and Tencent can do mobile phone, Amazon engage A terminal out of a little difficulty? Amazon is not short of money, no shortage of resources, no shortage of channels (which channels have Amazon store more cattle?), But no shortage of technology (rich technology) .Not only Jobs, And just the right time.

Take a look at Facebook. According to FB's official statistics, over 800 million active users (50% log in each day) have an average of 130 friends per user, an average of 250 million photos uploaded daily, over 20 million FB applications installed daily and 350 million Of users access FB through mobile devices ... (Source: http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics)

If Amazon is a platform for retail and content, Facebook is the platform for people and relationships.Social is the hottest moment in the world, what is China's richest Tencent know it, then you look at how big the imagination of Facebook? Tencent 600 million users are Chinese, and Facebook's 800 million users, more than 75% of users outside the United States who do you think more potential? Tencent no matter how toss, is in his acre three points, China There are also big bottlenecks in the market, and Facebook is world-class, do you think the two are an order of magnitude opponents? Use Facebook people and relationships resources to dig deep into the massive data (data is no less favorable than Google), play music, Movies, SNS search business fly it? Do terminals such as mobile phone flat to hard and soft combination, Zeyang? Capital strength At present, Facebook is the poorest of all the giants, but not yet have an IPO has been valued at nearly billions of dollars After the listing of the potential? As for Twitter, it is still too thin (iOS5 integrated with Twitter, why not integrate Facebook?) ...

Finally, take a look at Google.

If Baidu is a chimpanzee big thing, Google is the diamond level. Tencent and Facebook can be a little bit more, Baidu and Google is completely incomparable difference .You have to say that Baidu powerful, I can only say that Valley brother in my Is GOV castrated egg Egg cut JJ only a few root hair tragedy.Real to see the real dildo? Do not look at China, see the outside world.

Look at the strength of a person, depending on who his enemies. Look at Google which competitors? Everyone !!! At the same time against Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Amazon ... dare to play this, only Google An Android has been doing iOS Pear quite large, and that is just a Google offshoot business (at least from the current profit contribution to see); Google those kinds of "do not be honest" things and how much imagination, such as smart driving cars, such as energy Project ... Who knows what bizarre gadgets Google Labs is the future hot products? Some people questioned Google's growth bottlenecks. Look just last Thursday Google Q3 11 'earnings, up 37% growth rate Not strong enough? At the moment, Google's stock price is more than $ 500, and it is forecasted that if the existing growth trend is maintained, Google's stock price will triple to $ 1500!

Dead, half dead, did not grow up rivals regardless of the biggest threat to Apple in front of the most direct and most potential opponents are Google! Has long been the entrance to the desktop era, Google Android is nothing more than to move Internet access.As for Google's younger brothers, currently playing the legal aspects of Samsung, HTC momentum can be; win Google, brother defeat.

Despite Siri's current "very Apple" Beta, his ambition is clear: any product is life-long, and successful products are replaced by new ones, except that it may not be the product of its kind, Is a new gadget.Can win QQ will not be a better IM, may be something else, such as microblogging; to win Google search is not necessarily another search engine, it is likely to be artificial intelligence Siri!

In the past, the weather, you can open the phone or desktop computer Google: NYC weather. However, even powerful Google can not be semantic interpretation, you still need to follow Google search format and syntax, and these are the need to learn and remember With Siri, you can ask: How Many New York Dollars? How Many Dollars Do You Use in 1 US Dollar? Even Google's Unresolved Context and Contextual Problems: How to Get Around the Nearest Bar Which restaurant atmosphere is more romantic? Online people who can not help but molesting Siri's dummies have seen it? Do not forget, this is just the beginning ... With Apple's resources and strength, want to Siri-based, to create a new Of the "lightweight" smart engine (single said search is not Google professional, but its use has been far beyond the scope of the search) is extremely reliable thing! The most frightening thing is that Apple does not need to search for contributions to cash flow, Never sacrifice user experience to insert ads!

"Google always has an answer" ... These are about to be the past, and in the future, Siri will add multi-language support, combine more APIs to expand into more applications, higher recognition rate and learning Capabilities ... Think about what Siri will play in two to three years? How about Siri for iPads, iPods and Macs? What Apple is best at is combining hardware and software with the most natural and unobtrusive combination. It just works. , Carry your cell phone, check things is how trouble: Take out, unlock the screen, open safari or google search, etc., enter the contents of the compact keyboard, point search .... With Siri, you just need In short, the middle steps omitted, it gives you the results directly, not to mention the alarm clock, send text messages, email these features ... This is Google's existing voice recognition technology can not compare.

In the field of single mobile, Google's business model: Android is provided to terminal manufacturers free of charge and is made up of search advertising businesses. In terms of hardware, the number of manufacturers such as Samsung and Google do not have a dime relationship (acquiring Moto mainly for patents instead of earning equipment money) , Search advertising is its main profit point, Android program store is far from enough class.And Apple has a complete ecosystem, each link is a cash flow: hardware more than 50% of the gross profit, the device first make a profit from mobile services (AT & T, China Unicom, etc.) into a high proportion: the monthly rent and then scraping away; digital content consumption: App, Music, Books ... a steady stream of money.Apple does not need to rely on search to make money, and Google Must! Apple designed Siri just to make things cool and better use to expand user base: each sold an iOS device, there are hundreds of dollars a steady stream of profits, while Google hopes more cooperative vendors to sell Out of more Android devices, users search as much as possible on their mobile phone, Google will have the opportunity to make profits for advertisers. Now Siri no ads (the future will never have), Google Search ads, users who love more ? Google to enter (even Google's voice input search is also not Siri natural language convenience), Siri is a natural language operation, which is more convenient?

Siri is a sword to Google's core search business! As the search leader, Google will never ignore the Siri, will certainly develop similar smart technologies (Google strength which is also a few months of effort.) Very Possibly, Google's voice intelligence is better than Siri ... but it's still been defeated because: Apple does not rely on search for cash flow, Google has to! Siri has no ads, and Google's technology does not work. Advertising. Google is facing a dilemma: do not push smart voice laissez-Siri mature will threaten the search based on this foothold, at least, on the mobile device (the computer is another matter) no one to use the old Of the Google Search go web search, is to play their own.Non advertising revenue sources Android is a losing money project.Lost to maintain the development of cash flow, can burn a long time it? Even if Google money and more, it is impossible to endless burn Go down Apple is not advertising anywhere, anyway, the search area is zero-based, barefoot afraid of wearing shoes, active attack is the best defense!

Throughout the future, there is a real challenge to Apple's game changer, only Google, Amazon and Facebook (the latter two are less Google.) Their mobile Internet debate is the entrance to the search platform, content platform and social platform dispute.Of course, Not necessarily to kill you live, Google has no Apple over the next 10 years, or even decades, are likely to coexist with each other, checks and balances, the market is not zero-sum game. Since ancient times, the enemy has always been the enemy is the eternal relationship.

Old Joe cents go, do you think Apple finished this? If it is 06,07 years, may be.But before the iPhone was introduced, Joe had known that life will not be long.He had enough time to do long-term planning.In recent years, Financial strength, personnel arrangements, and even the next four or five years of product planning, Mr.Jobs are well-thought-out foresight arranged well in August after resigning from the CEO more than a month he was idle. Release iPhone4S is his meaning, Pro Dead before the day is still in the bed finished iPhone4S conference.Short-line iPhone5 speculation map, iPhone5 sleeve mass production, these are by no means groundless.Apple has planned at least two mobile phones: 4S and 5. First 4S test if the 4S big sale, why waste ammunition release 5? Personally think that the legendary larger screen iPhone5 (you can not call 5) is true. As for how to release, Apple may be the last moment (Old Joe Pro Before the death of more than 10 days) before making the decision. Now the result has been explained that: online pre-sale broke millions on 24 hours a day, the store has been sold 4 million sales ... 4S sales decline, 5 out to save the market, Big selling year ...

There's one last thing ...

Gentleman revenge, ten years no later than the 90's Michael Dell ridiculed Apple, said Apple should dissolve the company. Old Joe scolded the dirty words: Ah you wait. Now, Apple's market value is more than ten times the DELL ... even more frightening Yes, Apple is playing the future, a few years ahead of the rival. Google engaged multi-touch out of Android, Joe said: Apple did not search, Google is doing the phone (subtext is ...) Apple is good at deep plowing Light product lines, closed ecosystems, will not blindly expand the product line. Any one of the new features, must be repeated scrutinize.Do you think Steve Siu Si layout of Siri + iCloud, who is to engage in?

Siri has been out, and see how Google move.
