Beijing Business Daily (Reporter Zhang Xu Wang Qu Zhongfang) yesterday at the I / O Developer Conference, Google breath launched a variety of new Android operating system based on the mobile phone, car, wearable, medical, television and other fields. The industry believes that such a full layout highlights the "operating system overlord" want to borrow Android system to conquer the world's ambition, but the core of the new Android system due to lack of innovation or will affect Google's future planning.
From the Google I / O conference point of view, Android L new system uses a new design language called "material design", Google intended to solve the fragmentation has long been criticized.
Beijing Commercial Daily reporter noted that Google's core Android elements comprehensive coverage to mobile devices, wearable devices, smart home, car terminal. Among them, Google Android smartphone system for smart watches was updated to achieve the status of mobile phones and watch the real-time synchronization, the new system will be applied to Samsung GearLarge, LGGWatch and Motorola 360 smart watches.
It should be noted that Google also introduced the Android Auto car system, as well as Google Fit health management platform. Not long ago, Apple introduced the Car Play Car System and the Health Fit Health Management Platform at the WWDC Global Developers Conference. The battle between Google and Apple is undoubtedly spreading to more areas. The competition between the two will be even more fierce.
Some observers pointed out that from Apple to Google's two developers conference, together with the earlier Microsoft Developer Conference, we can see that the contest between technology giants more and more evolved into a complete eco-system competition, and Closed-loop ecosystem has not only limited to mobile phones, tablets and other mobile terminals, but will also be extended to wearable, family living room, car travel and other omni-directional. This is precisely the most important reason why Google stepped up its ecological layout this time.
Although Google's full eco-layout exposes its intention to conquer the world with Android, many developers are still facing ambitious and inadequate innovation. One of the most core Android L new operating system developers Tucao up.
Social news site Hacker News, concerned about the Google I / O conference developers have complained: "Introduced part of the design is too boring it ... the interface design like Microsoft Metro, color copy iOS ... ... each version of Android design The same is not continuous, a bit messy. "
In fact, the Android 4.0 operating system since the release of "ice cream sandwich" nearly three years, late Android L is too focused on the design style and the underlying compatibility, which is somewhat feeling "more than optimistic, lack of innovation."
In addition, the Google I / O conference is still considered by many developers as "less attractive than Apple's WWDC conference" even with the announcement of a comprehensive eco-program in low-end mobile phones, televisions, automotive, wearable and medical applications, Punch and Brin have not appeared.
In this regard, Sun Yongjie, a well-known IT commentator, pointed out that although this conference is full of points and shows that Android is ubiquitous, it has not seen any substantial innovation compared with its major rival, Apple, and even some features were launched later than its rivals .
Another fact that can not be ignored is that due to exit from China, Google this time global layout is still facing the embarrassment of disjunction with the Chinese market. Although many smart device manufacturers in China adopt the Android system, they can not provide complete Internet services such as Google Maps, search, Play (App Store), which hinders the realization of Google's multi-screen convergence concept. The core of the Android operating system that is the case, television, wearable and other new areas in China will face greater resistance layout.
