Because of samsung in the dominant position of Android camp

Because of samsung in the dominant position of Android camp, Google will use a MOTOROLA mobile to contain samsung. But the author want to say is the MOTOROLA mobile in the Android faction of the market share and performance (only for samsung market share 1/10), its to samsung have much containment action? Even apple have failed to stop samsung in intelligent mobile phone market capture territory, and what's more, the slowdown in MOTOROLA mobile! It is important, the samsung is the mainstay of the Google Android, Google have any good reason for its contain
samsung?

To some extent, contain samsung is to curb their Android development isn't it? Especially in the current Android have dominated the whole intelligent mobile phone market
So the so-called X Phone is Google contain samsung say is not established, then would be save MOTOROLA mobile lift? Exactly X Phone can help MOTOROLA out of recession?

In fact, Google and MOTOROLA in the mode of cooperation, samsung and LG manufacturers which had a try.

Such as samsung and Google cooperation Nexus10, asustek and Google cooperation Nexus7 plate and Google and LG cooperation Nexus4 mobile phone, although these products are praised by the market, but did not become these manufacturers main products.

Such as samsung in the tablet PC market main is still own Galaxy Tab, and LG also failed to change myself for Nexus4 in intelligent mobile phone market competition position. In other words, the manufacturer of the final performance or to see their own ability and product manufacturers. Such a view, X Phone can bring MOTOROLA recovery opportunities a variable. But the author's suggestion, MOTOROLA, including industry don't put X Phone to see multiple, essence and other partners together push plate and intelligent mobile Phone and no second cause, but also a new Google and cooperation partner of mobile Phone just.

So the author thinks that, Google X Phone far from foreign technology as blog comments with Google to what its Android or save MOTOROLA mobile strategic significance, like its Nexus series, no matter for Google Android or partners, just icing on the cake, do not turn Google or MOTOROLA mobile qiankun or strategic shift work.

Google blog forecast next year will be released and MOTOROLA cooperation called X Phone smartphone

A few days ago, a foreign technology, Google blog forecast next year will be released and MOTOROLA cooperation called X Phone smartphone and X Tablet of Tablet PC, and accordingly think Google may not share with other manufacturers, according to the understanding of the Android, is Google to use MOTOROLA mobile hardware (mobile Phone) to develop their own Android alone, at least let MOTOROLA mobile get the latest Android version (including function) of precedence. Google is against the world, against had for Android camp manufacturers alike promises and with MOTOROLA mobile go it alone?

We might as well let's look at at present support Google Android camp and the proportion of main manufacturers. According to IDC latest statistics, in the third quarter of this year, samsung occupy Android camp 40.3% market share in the first row, followed by HTC respectively (6.9%), SONY (6.4%) and MOTOROLA (4%). This several total occupied the whole Android camp more than half (57.6%) or so market share, including samsung it is Android head. This leads to the science and technology blog fears that samsung will abandon Android, follow the lead of the amazon walk oneself depth custom Android route.

The first question is, samsung is it necessary to go depth custom Android and have sinned against Google things. From samsung smartphone business look, hardware itself is the main source of profit, and in the software application samsung has. So as it is Android route, or future depth custom route, integrated Google related applications, for samsung without any influence. In that case, samsung why gild the lily to depth and customized Android against Google? And now samsung and apple at daggers drawn, right now to have sinned against Google is not advisable.

Microsoft recently has been trying to counter Google application offensive

Although Microsoft recently has been trying to counter Google application offensive, but the user still suffers the search giant traction. But in the past, users have never thought to be able to use Microsoft Outlook and Office outside of the product.

The New York times on Christmas day to make a about cloud service product status report, the report pointed out that Google Apps future development of potential a piece of big, new users such as Swiss pharmaceutical company Hoffmann - La Roche and the Interior Department, the company's 80000 to 90000 employees are now using Google launched a series of office software, including online word processing, cooperation, E-mail, SMS, video conference and backup working tool.

The New York times "said that although in June this year, there were reports that since the end of the year since 2011, use Google Apps enterprise increase, about 100 to 500 enterprise. But Google to specific "how many people are using Google Apps button up".

The New York times has also said that even if the hypothesis in the second half of 2012 customers in the continue to increase Google, most of the customers is only small enterprises, large enterprises still is Microsoft's loyal customer.

More importantly, though Microsoft launched last year in Office 365, in response to Google Apps of rapid growth, but because of Office 365 monthly need cost much higher than Google Apps, and this does not include email function, in contrast, obviously, Office 365 defeat.

A few years ago, when Google into paying a monthly fee to key Google Apps services such as Gmail and Google document, many people are sceptical.

But the early users such as Genentech, let its about 14000 employees all use Google Apps, help the company especially in the public sector software production supply.

Now Gartner said Google is the Microsoft "the only strong competition".

In 2013, Google could in the software in the field of rapid rise? The New York times "guess the company don't pay attention to provide this kind of lock, enterprise services, Microsoft Office and other high-end products appear constantly means that Google is still quite low. Recently, Microsoft to strengthen the Office 365 and other cloud service integration, and is prepared to Office 2013 issue.
The key factor is still the price, Google Apps only fifty dollars a year, and keep the same price. And Office 365 users initial cost $72, then each year for new service pay increase. Therefore, it is no wonder that Office 2013 license Office 2010 than your many.

Microsoft introduced each new Windows can usually cause consumers to buy the new computer upsurge

Impression, Microsoft introduced each new Windows can usually cause consumers to buy the new computer upsurge, and promote the growth of PC sales, sales field to create the good result.
But recent situation is not optimistic, has launched the latest Microsoft Windows and flat didn't seem to shopping center of Microsoft sales stronghold how much the crowds, with crowded place than the apple store, and indeed many cold and cheerless. It seems repeatedly tried repeatedly to the spirit of the new Microsoft Windows and die here, recent Windows and release did not give PC sales much help.

New user experience, said Windows and design is very attractive, but not to buy a new computer point. This year the personal computer (PC) to sell bad should because most consumers are already have their own computer, and satisfied with the existing products. In the era of market turbulence, consumers in addition to the PC and the price is suitable for mobile equipment can choose.

Although the market has a lot of flat use Microsoft new touch system, but compared to other apple or amazon's goods, or lower. Acer is the world's fourth largest PC manufacturers, acer American branch general manager vermont (Emmauel Formont) said the company Windows and PC sales as expected, one of the most main factor because consumers are not used to the new design.

In these early version of the Windows release, PC is the center of the computer industry. In recent years, however you are more likely to buy a smartphone or tablet PC, not PC will be eliminated, but the market have a lot of other choices, if you change new computer life stretched, the PC sales will drop sharply.
Microsoft spokesman Martin (Mark Martin) to not do response, mainly is the Microsoft Windows and top has said that is the company a lot of change, a consumer quarter indicator remains to be seen. Microsoft says Windows and listing of the advance is sold 40 million copies (including the updated version with PC itself buy manufacturers attached). In addition to acer, other manufacturers such as lenovo, dell, HP, asustek, etc., are not too public comments they booked the sales results.

Analysts believe that, although most people won't give up PC, comprehensive to mobile devices, but the rise of mobile devices do can lead them to put off buying new PC. There is no denying the fact that mobile device can replace many people originally on PC, iPad completed work on behalf of the tablet PC have time to prove it. Maybe a little bit Windows and fate, the spotlight on Microsoft but no useful, but since Microsoft introduced own brand plate since, small make up feel all-powerful Microsoft could not so easy to beat back, are looking forward to Windows and after the wonderful counterattack.

if there is no intelligent mobile phones and tablet PC, PC market?

In fact the author has been think, if there is no intelligent mobile phones and tablet PC, PC market? It is because of smart phones and tablet computer the rapid growth, make the industry and the market to appear the illusion, that's PC market also should be not less than their growth rate to growth. Actually otherwise, the same to see Mary, John obi mikel, according to the chart, in 2005-2007, at that time not yet have apple iPhone and iPad, PC shipments growth is slow growth, at least not far and today's tablet PC and smartphone growth, it is compared the characteristics of the industry, namely penetration to reach a certain degree, natural growth will slow, and smart phones and tablet computer is still in the outbreak period. The author think that again, smart phones and tablet PC for PC impact is rather limited, if remove the biggest intelligent mobile phone, tablet PC to the impact of the PC more small. Still a bit not allow to ignore, even if there is no intelligent mobile phones and tablet PC earlier years, because of the economic factors and their own innovation and so on the many kinds of factors, the PC has been slowing down, even the situation. This is the normal rules of industry development. Obviously, in Mary, John obi mikel's report, does not take into account the role of these factors.

In that case, why will the Wintel from 1998-2005, occupy 95% of the share, become today's 35%? Very simple, Mary, John obi mikel in originally do not belong to the coordinate system of the intelligent mobile phone and tablet PC added in, and her shipments and assembly into volume chart and failed to fully prove the intelligent mobile phone, tablet PC and PC is between mutual competition and replace relationship.

The author in this is not to challenge the authority of Mary, John obi mikel, but as authority figure, the report and conclusion far-reaching influence, so I should be more careful, objective and comprehensive. At least she can forecast of 2015 years, PC will growth, doesn't exist any iOS and Android "kill" Wintel say. In that case, the three will put together the meaning of comparison? At least will mislead many the personage inside course of study.

As is known to all, with apple iPad as a representative of tablet PC

As is known to all, with apple iPad as a representative of tablet PC growth obviously faster than intelligent mobile phone. But from Mary, John obi mikel in the table on the shipments, still not as good as the traditional PC, then to 2014 years, that is, two years later, the same basic and PC shipments to the table statistics by the year 2015, slightly more PC. But to the author felt puzzled, since the tablet PC is far higher than the rate of growth of PC, PC and decline in, why 2-3 years, PC shipments and compare this year also flat? This prove at least tablet PC did not substantially in erosion PC shipments, the so-called alternative PC say is nonsense.

Also, Mary, John obi mikel also use the other list, namely total ownership (or installation quantity) to prove the PC market is Android and iOS encroach on. The author saw this chart, if combined with intelligent mobile phone words, to statistics and forecast cutoff in 2015, smart phones and tablet PC total installed capacity will be traditional PC 2 times. But if once remove intelligent mobile phone, it's not hard to see, by 2015 the tablet PC total installed still less than the traditional PC. To observe the PC total installed in 2015, and this year is flat. If according to encroach on say, at least total installed to decline, after all, the more than three years of time, at least there will be new users, or for PC users buy a new PC, just can have the same total installed happens. To this, perhaps some people will say that, if there is no tablet PC and intelligent mobile phone words, PC shipments and installed will greatly increase, and to explain the intelligent mobile phone and tablet PC or take the should belong to the PC market. The author agrees, but take out? Did it achieve the fretting degree? The same chart, the author see, in 2009-2012, total installed on the PC is growing, and since 2012-2015 years, its basic stagnant, but by 2015, the total installed with PC is highest when the 2012 flat. But still far more than 2009 years of installed.

Also the author to the first combined with Mary, John obi mikel shipments chart, 2015 PC shipments and keep balance basically 2012, this seems to verify the author mentioned before PC why total installed about the same as in 2012, the main reason that PC shipments did not have substantial reduction, users will still change or buy a new PC. This seems to once again that Android and iOS far to kill Wintel (PC) degree and hardly any effect.

the global personal computing platform

Is known as "the queen" KPCB partner Mary, John obi mikel (Mary Meeker) recently released its updated version of the 2012 global Internet trends report, one from 1975 to 2012, the global personal computing platform, the market share of the chart shows: Wintel (Windows + Intel) platform is the most prosperous before from 96% of the market share, down to 2012 now 35% market share. And the Android and iOS is occupied 65% market share, which critics say, Android and iOS is "murder" Wintel. That is smart phones and tablet PC is replacing the traditional PC (including notebook). The fact is really such as Mary, John obi mikel said?

The first question is, will the intelligent mobile phone and tablet PC together to and compared the traditional PC are objective and fair? If the tablet PC (at least from the computer name and the word) has the form of traditional PC, including some performance and experience close to traditional PC words, so intelligent mobile phones are far away from each other with the traditional PC. Whether form or performance and using experience and application. After all, more intelligent mobile phone call is its basic have the functions. And from Mary, John obi mikel's chart is not difficult to discover, really pull or fastest growth is based on Android and iOS system of intelligent mobile phone. It is difficult to become a direct rival products is put together, it's hard to say that the comparison of the objective and fair.

There are important need explanation is, in between mobile phone and PC, the user need more mobile phone, this is common sense, and with the intelligent mobile phone prices continue to drop, the replacement of traditional functional mobile phone is the trend of The Times, and at present functional mobile phone has the quite big market, it also determines the future intelligent mobile phone will accelerate the development of, after all, lower base there. So smartphone growth and popularization and traditional PC without any relationship, even if currently used functional mobile phone users don't change or late in intelligent mobile phone and buy a new mobile phone (purchase smartphone) for the traditional PC market without any increase or decrease the influence of the affected only is intelligent mobile phones have spread speed and growth rate. At the same time also no conclusive evidence that market, don't change or late in intelligent mobile phone users because want to buy PC, or new intelligent mobile phone users for buying smart phones and give up the purchase of PC.

Of course, to be PC industry (Microsoft Windows8) power supply

Of course, to be PC industry (Microsoft Windows8) power supply, only the most high speed growth, revenue and profit increase is one of the necessary conditions, it is important for the future the PC industry to innovation and development of knowledge and practice. For example, in the industry is recognized and Wintel expectations of flat/PC one super this market, although relevant PC manufacturers have introduced a lot of super this, but from the market feedback look, but the association of Yoga won the market highly recognized, and this from its often out of stock, and to January to completely relieve got the most persuasive proof. Microsoft is also very clear, flat/PC one super this is give full play to the best advantage Windows8 fusion product form. So the traditional PC manufacturers in the future the super market performance to some extent also determines the Microsoft Windows8, or the fate of the PC industry.

In addition to the core of the PC field outside, Microsoft also hope that through Windows8 (one of the Windows Phone8) change in intelligent mobile phone and tablet PC market tepid state. Therefore, the mobile phone market at that time the boss nokia formed a strategic cooperation partners. But nearly 2 years down, nokia in intelligent mobile phone market is prevailing in the. In the past the third quarter, its global intelligent mobile phone market ranking has dropped out of the top 5, and in the largest and fastest growing Chinese intelligent mobile phone market is more ranked tenth bottom.

By contrast, it is Microsoft in the PC cooperation partner randy lerner association, the China is already the intelligent mobile phone market and tablet PC market, second only to the samsung and apple, and IDC is expected to win next year, lenovo will Chinese intelligent mobile phone market champion.
As a traditional PC manufacturer, lenovo in addition to see Microsoft in the PC market with strong competitiveness outside, also let the witnessed association in mobile phones and tablet PC market contains potential. This undoubtedly let just rely on the special mobile phone manufacturer to promote their Windows Phone8 system of Microsoft in the future more a promotion way. The so-called east don't bright western bright, who can deny the future association may be based on Microsoft Windows Phone8 China mobile phone market, and then to the global expansion heavyweight partners? With lenovo in the PC market as to the importance of Microsoft. After all, in the traditional PC manufacturers, in addition to outside lenovo, HP, dell and Acer in intelligent mobile phone and tablet PC market a few no accomplishment, Microsoft is to borrows, also it is difficult to find support. And association with market facts proved that can use a ecological system with the rapid development and ecological system the ability of a win-win situation.

The author in this is not to deny, and other traditional PC manufacturers for Microsoft Windows8 (PC, intelligent mobile phone, tablet PC) the importance of success, but in fact the market there. Still a bit not allow to ignore, HP also lost in the adjustment of the state, dell's center of gravity has begun to gradually shift to higher profits of the enterprise market, Acer is still in a PC in the treatment of recovery, but the association has in the PC and mobile Internet smartphone and tablet PC market is strategic determination and stability, and have achieved considerable success, this for Microsoft in repositioning and choose partners is quite important.

Through the above analysis, the author thinks that, ballmer recent MiHui OEM partners, especially with lenovo CEO pursue in the pursue private house meeting, in addition to sure association in PC and mobile Internet industry influence outside, but also hope to find and determine can prevent the domino effect happens powerful partners, who would it be? Maybe the subsequent market facts will give the answer.

The clear, Microsoft one of history's most important

Recently Microsoft CEO Mr Ballmer low-key MiHui association in China CEO pursue and then may visit Acer and asustek news caused the attention and guess. Why had been and OEM partner relationship nervous ballmer a reverse Windows8 downturn due to partner of complaints and MiHui partners?

The clear, Microsoft one of history's most important, regarded as the transformation of the work Windows8 issued for a period of time, Microsoft to the heavy weight of the operating system, but also take great pains, even at the cost to the field of PC against former partner, with their own brand Surface to try to promote their Windows8 system, however, the industry for this system has not heard the sound still. And from the market, the Surface and the overall PC market sales downturn look, at least so far, have great expectations by Microsoft's Windows8 system performance really fair.

After a brief was outside called (or as) Microsoft to go in the future a "carrot and stick" strategy after the try, at least Microsoft realized in the PC market before on partner OEM line is still Windows8, or Microsoft transformation key to success.

Science and technology website ZDNet therefore analysis says, sluggish PC sales and Windows and operating system average sales results to Microsoft other business to cause major joint influence and domino chain effect. Windows and Office of slow, finally to Microsoft server software sales, causing the impact of overall business collapse.

So the "ballmer attitude change also in reason. And the author more concern is that in the PC industry downturn, the traditional PC manufacturers in the mobile Internet without success cases, who can stand out, stop Windows8 Microsoft could cause domino effect?

Like the ZDNet analysis, although Microsoft Windows8 is a cross-border fusion of the operating system, but for Microsoft, it is the future of the time, its still want to in the traditional PC market promoting Windows8, this is Microsoft's wiener, is it the ability to develop Windows8 in intelligent mobile phone and tablet PC market and other business foundation and support.

Return overdo to see today's PC market, in the past, the third quarter in the global PC industry overall decline 8.6% of cases, the top five manufacturers, only association and asustek made contrarian growth, this also is lenovo has 12 consecutive quarter in the global PC manufacturers keep the fastest rate, growth rate 14 consecutive quarters of the distance beyond, top of the HP are only 0.2%, but in the same time, the HP PC shipments fell 16.4% year-on-year, this means that the association will soon won the global PC eldest brother. Actually here boss position for PC industry although important, but more important is, who is promoting weak PC industry to move on power supply? I already knew the answer. So when Windows8 Microsoft in the PC to field questions to eliminate the outside world, to prove his critical moment, looking for and rely on the power supply is so important. Because it can not only boost Microsoft Windows8 market performance, more other PC manufacturers to provide confidence support.
