Chapter 2489 Lost Front Alliance

But not all countries and regions are so positive.

On the Japanese side, the reaction at this time was quite different.

Of course, this is not surprising. Whenever news related to Feng Yiping appears, they will always have some "original" interpretations.

At this time, there is also a fierce quarrel on the Internet. Why is it that in this alliance, China has five companies, even South Korea has two, but we have only one?

And it’s a telecom operator? ——They saw Sony Ericsson, but Sony Ericsson is not a purely their company. It is a company in which Sony and Ericsson each hold 50% shares, and even its headquarters are located in London.

And we are a world-renowned powerhouse in electronics and communications technology.

Even companies like Lenovo, Huawei, and LG have become founding members. What about our Fujitsu, our NEC, and our Kyocera? …

Why aren't they?

Speaking of which, this time, I really don't blame them for their strange angle. Except for telecom operators, there is no other company related to them. In addition to Feng Yiping's consistent impression of them, there are other reasons.

In short, Feng Yiping really missed them when he formed alliances all over the world.

Netizens over there quickly picked up on this point, saying that this was entirely because Android was deliberately crowding out, so we must boycott Android. Not only must we boycott, but our industry should also develop better products than Android. Come.

Are there any products that we can’t make?

But the indignant suggestions from these keyboard warriors didn’t get much positive feedback.

After all, there are still some sensible people who not only know that in the field of mobile communications, they are indeed not as good as before.

Sony Ericsson, the best-performing company, has suffered huge losses this year and laid off thousands of employees worldwide.

As for NEC, which was still a little popular abroad, it is obvious that it can no longer hold on, so it is hard to say that it is being squeezed out.

After all, the Open Handset Alliance's requirements for founding members are indeed very high.

As for developing a similar operating system, no one is taking the initiative.

In this regard, they are not much better, and they also have little accumulation.

In fact, as long as you think about it, you will have an intuitive understanding of the difficulty of research and development.

Nokia is great, but look, the Symbian system they have invested so much resources in, research and development and promotion is as good as Android?

Moreover, after Android is available, there will definitely be more technical barriers to developing similar products, which means it will be more difficult.

The most important thing is, who can guarantee that a first-class ecosystem can be quickly established like Android is doing now?

To be honest, the timing of Android's emergence couldn't be better.

When so many mobile phone companies around the world are struggling to develop products that can compete with the iPhone, Android happens to be born, and it is also free and open source. It’s like barefoot meets shoes, or dry wood meets fire. It was an instant hit.

But when the next product comes out, because Android already exists, the start will never be as easy as Android, because we all know that the system is not as simple as just changing.

What's more, from a professional perspective, Android is really good enough. With it currently leading the way, how easy is it to develop a product that is better and more popular than it is?

Not to mention, at the founding meeting, the Open Handset Alliance had promised that it would continue to have members join.

So, under the current bad economic situation, and when the electronics and communications fields where they originally had an advantage are becoming increasingly marginalized, how many companies will make such determination and spend huge sums of money to rashly enter an industry? They don’t have any areas of accumulation, so why not try to secure a less fulfilling future?

Although these industry insiders have the arrogance of an island country, they are not arrogant enough to think that they will be more powerful than Nokia.

Therefore, the indignation of Japanese netizens did not cause much splash in the end.

But they are not without fellow travelers.

In other words, Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson, who felt lost and depressed, did not lack companions.

At this time, the slogan of the 2008 Olympics, "One World, One Dream," has been known to everyone. In this case, if we apply it, it can be said to be, "One World, One Loss."

When Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson left San Francisco with mixed emotions, many media in Europe, where Nokia is located, also expressed concern about these two incidents.

Maybe Nokia, which is still the king of the mobile phone industry, is feeling a little out of its depth at the moment. The old Europeans have quite the same view on this.

They believe that this giant alliance that unites all important links in the smartphone ecological chain will certainly help the development of smartphones, but we cannot ignore the negative impacts that such an alliance may have.

Imagine that in the future, if Android becomes popular around the world, it will indeed have a positive impact on operators, chip manufacturers, and application software developers, because as long as the shipment volume of smartphones increases, these groups can Keep the huge gains.

But isn’t there no negative impact?

Obviously not.

For example, mobile phone manufacturers will definitely face tremendous pressure in the future.

After the initial rapid development, the efforts and benefits of mobile phone manufacturers will be far out of proportion.

The deep reason is that members of the Open Handset Alliance need to maintain Android compatibility, which will inevitably lead to homogeneous competition among mobile phone manufacturers.

This is actually a precedent.

We all know that the Wintel Alliance has effectively promoted the development and popularization of personal computers.

But it is also because of the Wintel Alliance that PC manufacturers can only develop in the direction of hardware competition. At present, all PC manufacturers are reluctant but helpless to enter the era of micro-profits.

From this perspective, today's PC manufacturers are tomorrow's mobile phone manufacturers.

Therefore, this so-called mobile Internet era - let's call it that for the time being, will certainly be greatly developed due to the emergence of Android, but Android will definitely limit and affect its development in the future.

It means that success and failure are all due to Xiao He...

In short, the views of the old European side are actually not surprising, and they are the same as their reactions when they see the United States and China surpassing them in some fields: In fact, our old set is still good!

But it won't be long before they will use their own actions to refute their own views. They will definitely be very happy to use smartphones installed with the Android system...

If you can't eat grapes, you will find them sour.

After seeing the feedback from Europe, Rubin even suggested to Feng Yiping, "Feng, should we talk to Nokia again?"

Feng Yiping was a little surprised that Rubin was still so energetic after being targeted by Apple and Jobs. Perhaps, this guy has a stubborn vitality like Xiaoqiang?

"I say, man, we can be proud, but we can't get too carried away. What kind of response do you hope to get when you contact Nokia at this time?"

From yesterday's press conference to now, Android is the most popular fried chicken in the field of smartphones. Even if a king like Nokia is mentioned, it is as a negative and foil object.

At this time, Android is definitely looking for a scolding when it comes to Nokia.

"Of course, we can make such an attempt at the right time later."

Has Nokia ever produced a mobile phone equipped with the Android system? Feng Yiping really doesn't remember clearly.

However, putting himself in their shoes, Feng Yiping felt that in the future, when no one was interested in the Symbian system and their mobile phones, it was possible that they would lower their face and produce smartphones equipped with the Android system.

"But you must remember one thing, when you contact them, you must have a correct attitude," he also specifically reminded.

Also, when did Nokia start to sell itself? Feng Yiping only remembered that Microsoft was the owner of Nokia in the end.

"Understand, just like in front of a fading hero, you must show enough respect, I understand," Rubin said.

In fact, in front of a fading beauty, the same principle applies.

"And man, we don't have time to be proud now. We must work closely with mobile phone manufacturers to launch terminal products that will surprise everyone as soon as possible."

What is Android like? In the end, it still depends on mobile phones, so they can see how the media praises them, but they must admit that Apple is still ahead of them at this time.

"I understand, boss, just wait for good news," for Rubin at this time, there is only one way in front of him, a golden road leading to success.

ps: Dear friends, hehe, you have performed well today, it’s worth rewarding with tickets!
