Smart phones years three big question unanswered: huge market pattern under dark to move

In 012, domestic smart cellphones will break 100 million department, which is a real "smart phones years". But in the great prospects in front, smart phone market remains three questions and attraction: apple if the cell phone will also continue to be "high fever"? Nokia (the Po) mobile phone could lend Windows Phone7 (hereinafter referred to as "WP7") the system to rise? The domestic price war might be smart phone lit?

Apple mobile phone hot

For how much longer?

In the past year, though apple short board gradually began to appear, but it is more still don't reduce heat.

"The unit used for apples, if they don't feel very behind." In zhongguancun work ZhengXiaoJie told reporters.

City famous chain enterprise mobile phone boosted telecommunications deputy general manager HuMing think, apple brand advantage is its keep the most important advantage of sell like hot cakes, estimates that this year in this advantage could continue. But apple create the experience marketing is being more and more mobile phone imitated by enterprises, because apple and other cell phone manufacturers in the gap was reduced gradually.

However, to think about expert analysis, apple is the integration of the hardware and software and content platform mode, namely the iPhone + iOS + App Store, hardware, operating system and application platform-" triathlon ". The only apple can do this. It put the industry chain three of the most important core clenched in his hand. Each year more than 100 million cell phone shipments department; App Store of 500000 applications, download tens of billions of times each year. This let apple won great profits, a market value of the world's first.

But, apple will also keep the three advantages quite difficult. From iPhone 4 S beginning, apple's design and hardware advantage gradually lower, the iPhone 4 S appearance and performance not big breakthrough. In addition, the battery problems, voice phone problem even iPhone 4 S the most famous function voice service Siri all have a problem, and also to the crash phenomenon sustainable development a shadow.

China's software information nets chief ChenLiMing said Google (the Po) andros system constantly forcing, for apple in the operating system upgrade is all thumbs. With iOS development to speed up, and all kinds of problems too is gradually revealed, and may be apple the scourge of the future.

Concerned expert reminds: "hope apple can quickly improved these loopholes, solve the problems of users to appear, to let apple continue to keep in mind the user high status. Otherwise, apple will face huge crisis."

nokia

Could lend "WP7" rise?

This year, the late "WP7" system in March in fastest in domestic market. And two former nokia could lend "WP7" has become a rise this year big attraction.

HuMing said, including smart cellphones are mainly used. And "WP7" for being late and the start of a mobile phone, in a short time, not likely to lead to apple and Google's position. His point of view it is the domestic many experts comments.

At present, the software operating system by apple iOS and basic Google Android control, Microsoft (the Po) and have a chance to but more though saiban fading. "Millet MIUI, ali such as cloud based on Android platform of third party system optimization, all belong to the innovation, not enough to shake the big picture." One does not wish to be named, industry insiders told reporters.

But analysis released by the company iSuppli a future years of mobile market assessment report but think, WP7 phone will be in 2015 years beyond the iOS, to become the world's second largest mobile operating system.

In iSuppli opinion, Lumia 900 will lead nokia and Microsoft took to the renewal, because now the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 etc equipment has laid a good foundation. Windows Phone in the mobile market operation on the real meaning of expansion, will be from the new generation flagship smartphone start.

According to iSuppli forecast, Android will be in the next few years has increased, 2015 years of market share to 58.1%; And iOS will year after year, been declining tendency, and by 2015, the market share of rate can be from the current 18% to 16.6%; And Windows Phone can be in this two years is BaoFaShi growth, market share in 2015 by a nose that formal beyond cisco iOS mobile Phone apple iPhone.

The editor-in-chief LiuQiCheng think communication network, the terminal for manufacturers, how to choose the future operating system must become the key to the development of their products. But the future winners at least have to meet two conditions. One is to have the new products; 2 it is to can't be operators depth customization of enterprise.

It is reported, the domestic market, in smart phones, the popularization and application of the play a large role in the is operator. Whether apple's iPhone, or $one thousand smart phones, operator customization have played a key role. And nokia operators and good relations of cooperation can also be the future development of a big advantage.

Domestic mobile phone price war

Will light again?

Before the grand network will launch out less than one thousand yuan of smartphones, recently, more news, alibaba (the Po) will be selling strategic stakes tianyu langtong, into the mobile phone market.

Experts said that as the popularity of smartphones, this year's price competition becomes increasingly fierce, a few years ago a mobile phone to make out of the factory is controlled yuan, now only a few yuan factory, ten yuan the manufacturer of profit can be found everywhere.

The reporter found in the market, a name of the G10 dazzle fly brand domestically, its appearance, feel, size, do as the great apple iPhone4, the factory outlet of the way in the factory and five yuan, 378 yuan only sold to customers. This time in the society cause strong reaction.

Experts said China mobile cellphone industry is very strong fortress ability. Nokia, SONY Ericsson and kyocera, and other famous brand in China market in defeat, in addition to enterprise itself and apple's "made", another important reason is that China's mobile phone manufacturer so "fierce" price war.

According to fly dazzle marketing general manager XuTong mobile phone is introduced, the reason can achieve this price, because the fly dazzle G10 "mobile phone retail" new mode, the factory direct to consumers, cuts off the huge cost layers of agency provinces and cities.

An anonymous phone engineers also has revealed the domestic mobile phone production costs. Project development fee, mould development fee, subscriptions and motherboard, screen, batteries, and dozens of hardware cost, according to the 50000 Taiwan production calculation, each costs for 373 yuan. "Domestic millet, ali cloud of mobile operating system cost, even with the patent, has a huge profits." This person said.

Windows Phone application store ESRB rating system introduced

Foreign technology Neowin website reported that Microsoft (the Po) Windows Phone application store has introduced ESRB rating system, help parents filter out not suitable for their children's application.

If the user is willing to let their children play cellphone games, then let them would only play for this age paragraph the game is undoubtedly a good idea. Microsoft through the ESRB rating system will its application in store, have shown they psu on Xbox 360 game with contact.

Google (the Po) and apple are in their application store has introduced age classification mechanism, only two companies are using local concept, not like Entertainment Software grading committee (the Entertainment Software Rating Board, hereinafter referred to as the ESRB ") such institutions.

The first to receive the ESRB cellphone game classification has appeared in Windows Phone application store. As expected, the angry birds "among them. Despite the age grading system has introduced many benefits, but the examination and approval of the application of time from now on will be longer, so, application development new people can only wait for a long time, to see the fruits of their Labour ESRB rating system of appearance.

Microsoft's age grading system adopts the ESRB mechanism, is likely to cover popular game. Developers still have to answer a series of problems, and to make their games get automatic rating. This may show that only seeks to Microsoft for more of the audience in its application store in cellphone game. Those for WP7 operating system development application developers, the future let Microsoft for examination and approval in its application, must be prepared to deal with the barriers of preparation.

Blackberry storm 2011 constantly 2012 renewal care

BlackBerry smart cellphones earliest (micro Po) (BlackBerry) in just the past 2011 years into many trouble. First foray into tablet computer market, introduced a Playbook. But for haste, or a technology immature semi-finished products, even the most basic function are not perfect, and led to a large inventory backlog.

In July 2011, RIM cutting 2000 employees announced, which accounts for nearly 11% of total employees. In this about three weeks ago, Toronto finance company Selective Asset Management Inc. Chief mike walter (Robert McWhirter) sell the rest of his 58000 shares RIM stock. He said, now the market is mainly by intelligence product application software drive, he worried about RIM in such a market, competition crippled--RIM has always attached great importance to product engineering design.

In October, the blackberry network services appeared for three consecutive days of disruption, global users are affected, serious damage to the blackberry for many years the reputation of the network services.

November 22, on, Google (the Po) to stop the blackberry users or support Gmail service.

Blackberry are following nokia (the Po), MOTOROLA (the Po) these old mobile phone manufacturer's footsteps, acquisition rumors everywhere, even predict Forbes blackberry it away in 2015.

Is lying in the numbered among sleep, or rush, phoenix yet? Blackberry facing a death trial.

Blackberry fronts

Once the lead of the blackberry smart phone, with two (Android) system and the apple iOS smartphones rapid development, continuous shrinking market share, smart phone market in North America from the leading down to after them, and even being called "false smart phones".

According to IDC research institutions that, by the end of June, 2011, in the key RIM company American smartphone market share had fallen to 11.6%, five years ago, the number is still as high as 48%.

Too trust and depend on the technical expertise, and make the blackberry to of the development of the market reaction too slow, even in times of crisis is still keep silent.

Worse, loyalty to rate the user is also starting to waver. In October 2011 the blackberry service for three consecutive days, interrupt events, blackberry and the user communication very lag.

Blackberry users in Lynn Murdoch blackberry Facebook page message said: "RIM and the extent of the lack of user communication were surprising. I loved my blackberry, but let people angry is incredibly nobody can give back to normal time limit. Too disappointed!" New York's users, said Tony Vitali in give up blackberry's edge.

The lag of the blackberry partly from his internal rigid bureaucracy, more direct reason is the lack of applications. Because consider security, blackberry in the third party application support relatively conservative, many port is not open, for the blackberry design program difficulty is very big.

In this interrupt accident before, many companies began to reluctant to pay for blackberry service. Some companies have allow employees to use other smart phones, especially the apple mobile phones, to receive mail company.

Under pressure, blackberry came to the brink of collapse. In 2011 a quarterly reports show, RIM than expected revenue, profit appeared for the first time in nine years down, two, three quarters has not stopped to decline, the entire 2011 fiscal year forecast more not optimistic. RIM shares have dropped to the lowest point in eight years. At present there are many foreign analysts in RIM blackberry discussed dump the possible.

"The board of directors should now take decisive measures," running a crisis management consulting company Richard (Richard Levick) said, "RIM will need to be completely changes its DNA, stand in a new start position thinking, but not as the former market leader."

Security with

Although nearly two years continuously under a cloud and criticism, blackberry in some technology still occupy the place.

In November 2011, International Medical team (International Medical Corps) in the annual awards ceremony will be global influence award awarded to blackberry, to commend the disaster relief in the world the first line of contribution. The international medical team President Nancy (Nancy a. Aossey) said: "I want to tell you, blackberry does save lives."

"In disaster relief, you don't know what you are going to reach is what kind of," participate in Haiti rescue Neil Dr Joyce (Dr. Neil Joyce) said: "when we arrived in Hong Kong, no cell phone prince signal, but the blackberry can also send a message." In the Haiti earthquake and tsunami relief in Japan, dr Joyce with blackberry coordination medical equipment, and communication, to send supplies of the hospital.

"9 • 11" the event, the communication system almost paralyzed, vice President cheney handheld blackberry site to direct rescue, blackberry fame soared from then on. Wenchuan earthquake first by the news is trapped in the disaster area with Canadian tourists blackberry encryption mail (PIN Email) issued. Encrypted mail and blackberry instant messaging (BBM) in the form of data packets, through the little occupied GPRS channel will transfer to the blackberry all over the world of the server, and to another on a blackberry.

Also, through the blackberry communications network, which transmit information, to the maximum extent to ensure user privacy. In foreign companies in bidding or in the course of the negotiation, beware of the company for intelligence have no need not to the extreme, negotiators to choose between using blackberry mutual exchanges.

Appeared in 1999 blackberry, 2006 years to enter the Chinese market, established in April 2009 Chinese companies, and in June, 2010, into the retail market, very slow pace to now, its market share is still less. Blackberry consciousness that, as the Chinese government and the enterprise to enhance the protection of information security, blackberry may expand to the bigger market. But blackberry information high confidentiality has made it in some countries was hampered. India in 2010 threatened because they can't control the content, will be closed blackberry E-mail and instant messaging services encryption, and be ordered to RIM come up with a solution. RIM finally in mumbai installed the related facilities, the Indian government submitted to the suspect's name, the monitor, and the related information provided to the Indian government decoding.

However, the enterprise users are still blackberry major consumer groups, more than 90% of the world 500 strong enterprises are using the blackberry software equipment.

Through the use of blackberry enterprise service (BES), the company can get great control. In the background, management, there are more than 600 for the company issued blackberry options. The company can hold to employees of the blackberry mobile phone almost any remote operation, such as shielding signal, control long distance by playing, erasing the company documents, closed camera functions, etc. At the same time the company private mobile phone folder to save the file is not be controlled.

In the near future, the blackberry also released mobile fusion technology, can independent management and protection of blackberry smartphones system, blackberry tablet computer (Playbook) system, apple mobile phone system, iPad system and Google andros system, make enterprise employees don't have to buy blackberry can also master the blackberry to control. For individual users, Blackberry also has Blackberry protect function, in the mobile phone is lost, the user can through the network operating erase mobile phone store content and information to make by mobile phones finders saw.

So far, the blackberry has not been cracked and the news of prison break. These blackberry keep for years is not imitation and beyond characteristics for its attracted a group of loyal enterprise and individual users. But looks is standard office tools of the blackberry, light, it is hard to live on this advantage is attracting more and more individual consumer. In the user experience, compared to apple and andros system, in view of the blackberry system application is negligible.

The long road

In the past two years, the company is taking the RIM measures adjustment strategy, which bought many enterprises to provide new operating system, the browser and design shop.

In August 2011, blackberry hired responsible for developers of the relationship between the vice President sanders (Alec Saunders), is also in order to develop more able to blackberry of applications running.

But, based on the new operating system BB10 mobile phone to wait until the end of 2012 to market. The company constantly explanation is LTE chip technology is not mature, but this story has caused industry insiders suspicion. In the smart phone technology rapid development, competition intensified era, has exposed obvious disadvantages of the blackberry constantly delay new product releases a bellerophon letter.

Blackberry expanding existing models, from 2007 to the present, a total of 37 new models introduced. In a statement, even RIM company acknowledge that it was not know the market of how many blackberry models. RIM is supposed to be a cause greater range of consumers' concern, in the consumption of ordinary mobile phone field, this strategy may be feasible. But to smart phones for, but the consumer confusion and deepen choose phobia. London BeiLun berger Bank (Berenberg Bank) analysts ai ha, Wallace's (Adnaan Ahmad) said, samsung (the Po), and other firms also launched a number of andros products, but RIM and if they analogy is wrong, samsung production many key cellphone components, when many products sales volume to rise, it will have cost advantages, RIM didn't this advantage.

For blackberry for, but Renaissance to the history of the monopoly, there is no possibility.

Apple behind the glory in question

Apple to "Chinese character" way to prove to the world that its products again still popular.

On Friday, apple retail sales in mainland China open new mobile phone iPhone 4 S. The result, open three hours not to sell, and the Shanghai three retail stores inventory, announced that it sold out, and the Beijing sanlitun retail stores near cause a riot.

Apple cellphone announced, in order to ensure the safety of the employees and customers, will stop in Beijing and Shanghai's retail sales of the latest iPhone 4 S mobile phone, only through the network order. But the morning paper reporter yesterday evening login apple online mall, various types of black, white iPhone 4 S all showed that "no supply".

At the same time, other various channels of the iPhone 4 S also is very hot.

Yongle electrical relevant personage told reporters that, for the most part at present Shanghai store yongle iPhone 4 S already sold out. Shanghai su ning electric equipment (the Po) related to the reporters who said that at present in Shanghai suning appliance stores sell unicom all priority contract machine, simulates temporarily not completely let go sales. The two companies are said before the Spring Festival. Also can have a batch of iPhone4S delivered.

Last October 14, iPhone 4 S began in the United States and other 6 countries to start selling retail stores. Back then apple former CEO Steve jobs had just died, and others in the future for apple concerns.

However, iPhone 4 S continued global big sell. Last year, apple market value once more than Essen g mobil, as the world's most valuable company.

In its market value in the process of rising, China, and other Asian markets contributed a lot. But China's communication network technology enough to fully support the function of the iPad and iPhone, apple is still slightly inferior to show their competitors. The data shows, since the first quarter of 2010 since, apple smartphone market share in China growth more than doubled, but opponents against the performance is in that same period, samsung (the Po) electronic market share of more than three times the rate increase.

Some say, how many Chinese market demand, apple marketing is certainly has the ability to estimate, knowing in stock insufficiency, why not ready for the more in advance. Others say that the reason that has cattle for the collective, and the root cause is an apple a limited supply of party.

This is apple cellphone consistent hunger marketing tactics, apple or no stable supply capacity? Apple is always doesn't respond to.

The RIM has employed a strategic choice to promote exploration Goldman sachs stock rose 5%

Domestic handset manufacturers alliance to the overseas patent war

A few days ago, apple and HTC (the Po) patent wars in the United States patent of the dust settles, the United States international trade commission said it would ban sales in the United States hongda electronic (HTC) apple patent infringement part of the smart cellphone, the ban will take effect in April 2012. Now, smart phones running the patent battlefield, happens in America's war spread to domestic seemed to be something sooner or later, zte, TCL (the Po), yulong cool and konka, the domestic mobile phone manufacturer also mood.according, misunderstanding, consistent foreign, BaoTuan patent litigation to deal with.

In the United States or HTC market faltered

In the U.S. market, because the HTC early Google's Android platform to design smart phones, once in the third quarter 2011 became the largest market smart phone sales. However, ai media consulting CEO that easy, the ruling is to infringe upon the HTC apple's patent, banned the import of the company in the part of the products, will be in the United States may make the HTC market faltered.

Now the smart phones generally focused on Microsoft patent wars (micro Po), apple two big patent croc for Andoird faction. "Microsoft litigation strategy is to money, and apple's litigation strategy is to you die. But two were difficult to deal with." Industry insiders so evaluation. And domestic Android smartphone as high price and fashionable appearance and get the overseas market wide recognition, but it also means that must face the peek of the Microsoft and apple.

The latest data show that in 2011, huawei (the Po) terminal global sales income reached 6.7 billion us dollars, FaHuoLiang breakthrough 150 million sets, which is greatly increased in 2010, including intelligent mobile phone up rapid growth, FaHuoLiang exceeds 20 million sets. However, the huge Numbers but Microsoft drew. In the middle of November, huawei foreign confirmed that the company is working with Microsoft just Android operating system patent license negotiations. Because Android operating system USES part of the Microsoft intellectual property rights, and Android cellphone system is the main type huawei sales. Earlier, Android camp, HTC, samsung has (the Po) pay Microsoft patent fees precedent.

Domestic mobile phone manufacturer hide not open patent wars

"As long as export, patent war is mobile phone manufacturers have to face domestic problems." Shenzhen war policy chief analyst at consulting Yang qun says, now the war strategy to deal with patent generally is "able to me in you, there are you" patent of the cross, that is, although I use to your patent, but you also use to my patent, everybody "square", but the problem is "the manufacturer of the patent technology to their full up, as the number of mobile phone giant, so in some patent fight in a very bad position".

Therefore, manufacturers have BaoTuan only. Although they are waging a fierce price war, however, in the powerful "foreign enemy" before, everyone also had to "consistent foreign". According to information, zte, konka, TCL, cool, Kivu, and LongQi, WenTai, HuaQin and other large mobile vendors, has set up mobile phone China alliance, hope BaoTuan respond to foreign manufacturers of patent war. At present, the coalition is dealing with nokia (the Po) of China frequently litigation disputes.

"In the short term, domestic handset should put more focused on domestic, if the focus on Europe and America, once produce a patent litigation, manufacturer will suffer a big blow, and domestic patent issues in, temporarily won't appear too much influence." Easy think, on the one hand, the domestic patent policy and regulations is still not perfect, can temporarily as a refuge; On the other hand, foreign manufacturers in domestic patent layout is still not fully made steady.

But, in the long run, relies on its own r&d manufacturer accumulation, "the mobile cellphone renewal quite quickly, Microsoft now, apple patent technology, will not necessarily always adapt to the demand of the market."

Apple Siri into CES topic: speech recognition the trend of The Times

Apple cellphone will again rule CES show the hot topic, only this time, exhibition of topics from iPhone, iPad extends to the Siri speech assistant, the voice applications can capture the imagination of consumers.

Siri voice control assistant is apple iPhone 4 S get sensation effect of key factors, it let once obscure and suffered from the controversial speech recognition technology back to life. Siri omnipotent, released from the text information, date date information commands to the answer common sense issues, all of these make the user fascinating. Experts say, and most importantly, the emergence of Siri reminding people to voice recognition technology has no longer confined to listen to wrong instructions, narrow key word definition and slow speed old days.

Smartphone industry is currently competing to match or provide better than apple's speech technology, Google and Microsoft (the Po) are likely to use the domain of the huge demand for a lot more money. Google and Microsoft had already in speech recognition technology investment for many years, but its products like Siri failed to get this kind of attention.

"All mobile phone manufacturers are in investment, expand the voice in the field of speech technology investment, create more elegant design and will be integrated into the mobile phone in its development." The speech recognition technology company Nuance senior vice President Michael Thompson (Michael Thompson) said.

Thompson is not expressly disclosure Nuance plans for the future, but he is expected to voice technology will become the core of the CES show topic, equipment manufacturers are competing to attract investors, media and consumers' attention.

March speech recognition market

Although speech technology is expected to be used in consumer electronics several areas, but the technology and the relevance of mobile phones more strong, because it can simplify the Internet to input from some of the function. The Internet retailers eBay (the Po) are also came into this field, the report says LG will be launched before CES sonic TV.

Market Research firm Forrester Research (micro Po) analyst Charles GaoErWen (Charles Golvin) that most of the manufacturer to CES exhibition has not yet ready to match or exceed Siri speech technology products. But GaoErWen expected, with the continuous improvement of the speech technology, and now the trend of the next few years will promote the pronunciation product greatly upgrade.

Thompson said apple rivals plan launched this autumn with upgrade edition speech technology of cellphone, in order to catch up with the Christmas shopping season in 2012. Nuance to apple authorized technology, and have their own voice applications.

The traditional PC makers will tap into the speech recognition market, Intel (the Po) on Monday in CES announced that they will be in future dell (the Po), HP (the Po) launched UltraBook products use of Nuance "Dragon NaturallySpeaking" speech recognition technology.

Increasingly popular

Experts say, as more consumers get used to using speech recognition, this technology will further upgrade.

The market for voice recognition technology interest also gave birth to the takeover of generation, Nuance is set his sights on the Android mobile phone. Last month, Nuance announced Android mobile phone voice control acquisition Vlingo application developers.

Apple's main rivals including samsung Android (micro Po), HTC (the Po) and MOTOROLA (the Po) move. Google previously announced $12.5 billion acquisition of MOTOROLA mobile.

Some developers also help mobile phone manufacturers in narrow the gap in speech recognition field. A few weeks ago, Microsoft Windows Phone smartphone platform released a new application called Ask Ziggy, it can allow users to update Facebook, Twitter via voice, text and answer questions issued instructions.

Ask Ziggy help Windows Phone mobile phones have similar Siri speech assistant function, at present has become the application of the highest category online download a. "The application of global consumers attracted interest." Ask Ziggy developers plug · lai cloth (Shai Leib). Lai cloth says he's mailbox had a large user feedback information, some even come from Microsoft employees.

Lai cloth future plans in the application of further integration of speech technology, make mobile phone operating completely free of hands. Microsoft Xbox Kinect body feeling peripherals now can use gestures to operate the screen and executes instructions.

Lai cloth think, nothing can stop the smartphone gestures recognition cellphone technology. "The next step is to ascend phonetics, grammar, let the answer of more traditional," he said, "this potential, especially in the technology is extremely tie-in Kinect later."

"I am very much looking forward to Windows 8, look at Windows Phone can upgrade can be further in the future by gestures operation."
