Smartphones have been the fastest-growing product in the field of personal intelligence terminals since Apple launched the iphone in January 2007, but things have changed now. Gartner estimates that, as the largest market segment in computing equipment, global handset shipments are expected to reach 1.9 billion in 2014, up 4.9% from 2013, well below the tablet level.

Give up the fastest-growing market, is the market initiative to give up, millet must cut into this market. Now is the best time.

Flat plate is a mature product, product innovation space is not high; At the same time, there are many competitors in the market, in addition to Apple, there are Android camp Samsung, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Acer, Asus, and more Shanzhai tablet manufacturers, many manufacturers are in this market grab food, this is a fierce competition in the Red Sea.

"If we solve these two problems, we can occupy the commanding heights of the Android tablet," said the official. ”

Millet practices include several aspects: one is to create a hardware performance on the ipad comparable to the product, and the product price is far lower than the ipad, or even far below the mainstream Android tablet manufacturers price, price to make users scream; second, MIUI software system and MIUI software system, Create rich Internet applications and services.

To sum up, this is based on the triathlon, that is, software + hardware + Internet integration products.

As of May 15, based on the application of millet plate adaptation of more than 100 of the balance, and the tablet adaptation of the game has reached 400 variety. Lei revealed that the end of the year will reach 1000 application + 1000 games.
