1. Telecoms Secretly Dislike Apple——運(yùn)營(yíng)商們不喜歡蘋果公司
Apple has played hard balls with telecoms giants ever since the iPhone was released. Its stubbornness (some will say arrogance) is what potential Chinese customers to miss out on the iPhone v1.0 (see iPhone talks crash and burn in China).?Google on the contrary will almost certainly sweeten the pill with the five/six major telecom companies worldwide by offering a slice of the overall advertising revenues, through a potential Adsense solution for telecom companies.
自從iphone發(fā)布之日起,蘋果公司對(duì)廣大運(yùn)營(yíng)商就特別強(qiáng)硬。他的強(qiáng)硬或者說傲慢就是中國(guó)消費(fèi)者沒有機(jī)會(huì)使用iphone1的原因。而谷歌不會(huì)這么做,谷歌向來都會(huì)和全球最大的那么5到6個(gè)運(yùn)營(yíng)商打好關(guān)系,并且分享廣告中一部分利潤(rùn),為各個(gè)運(yùn)營(yíng)商提供adsense的解決方案。
2. Google to have more marketing clout——安卓更有市場(chǎng)影響力
Like Microsoft with Windows, Google will almost certainly depend on phone manufacturers and mobile phone networks to evangelise the Android platform. This will not only give Google a headstart compared to Apple but it also means that Google will be able to dedicate more financial and human resources to developing applications and improving the backend.
就像微軟的windows,谷歌也需要依賴于廣大的手機(jī)制造商和移動(dòng)電話的渠道來擴(kuò)大安卓平臺(tái)的影響力。這不僅會(huì)給谷歌一個(gè)領(lǐng)先機(jī)會(huì),也可以讓谷歌投入更多的資金和人力資源來發(fā)展它的程序和壯大終端。
3. Android will have more Hardware Variety——安卓更有硬件多樣性
Although Android is currently marketed as a Handset solution, nothing will/should prevent Google from thinking outside the box and planning for other non-handset devices.
雖然安卓到現(xiàn)在為止僅僅只是一個(gè)手機(jī)終端的解決方案,但是人們沒有理由去認(rèn)為谷歌不會(huì)利用一些創(chuàng)新思維,然后把手機(jī)終端移植到一些其他的地方。
4. There will be an Android Priced for Everyone——安卓可以訂制所有元素
Because Google gives manufacturers freedom to design, one can expect Android to appear on cheap and expensive smartphones to cater for all budgets. Google will not charge a penny for the license and will allow extreme customisations as well.
由于谷歌批準(zhǔn)制造商對(duì)于產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行任何修改,人們可以想象安卓出現(xiàn)在任何價(jià)位的手機(jī)上。而谷歌不會(huì)為安卓的牌照收取一分錢,而且允許極端的用戶定制。
5. Developers——重視程序開發(fā)者
Google allows industry players to add proprietary functionality to their products without having to contribute anything back to the platform since Android uses Apache license - which doesn't have a copyleft clause - rather than GPL.
由于Google使用Apache證書,因此那些努力的程序員可以向系統(tǒng)之中加入任意的功能而不用向Google出讓一分錢,而蘋果的GPL則不可能。
6. Android Thrives On Openness——安卓以開放獲勝
Android also uses Davlik, a Java layer brought in by Google to improve compatibility which makes it hardware agnostic and opens a wide range of possibilities
安卓同樣也使用一個(gè)叫做Davlik的Java應(yīng)用層來提高安卓的兼容性,這可以讓安卓在任何無法識(shí)別的硬件系統(tǒng)上運(yùn)行,打開無限可能。
7. Apple has agenda/set dates——蘋果有發(fā)布周期
Obviously, Apple has to keep significant gaps between releases to plan ahead for further product launches.Google on the other hand does not have a set agenda and this means that you can expect to see cutting edge technology in Android based phones much faster.
很明顯,蘋果縱使在產(chǎn)品與產(chǎn)品之間安排一個(gè)周期,這樣才能保證自己可以有時(shí)間去計(jì)劃下一個(gè)產(chǎn)品的發(fā)布。谷歌卻不這么做,谷歌沒有一個(gè)產(chǎn)品發(fā)布計(jì)劃,這意味著你可以在任何時(shí)候獲得谷歌決定性的科技突破。
8. Android is Build for the net——安卓為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)而生
Because Google is behind Android, you can expect the platform to have internet access at its core and while Apple pushes the iPhone as a "Jack of all trade" that does phoning on the side.?
由于谷歌是安卓的開發(fā)商,因此我么可以預(yù)期在安卓的內(nèi)核當(dāng)中就有因特網(wǎng)的連接,但是由于蘋果把iphone做成了萬金油,電話只是一個(gè)附加功能。
9. No reliance on related product segments——安卓沒有相關(guān)聯(lián)的其他產(chǎn)品線
Apple has to care about the iPhone not killing the iPod touch altogether and has to make sure that iTunes is properly tied in; plus there's the Mac Book and the rest of the iPod range. Google does not have any hardware products to care about.
蘋果必須關(guān)注自己的iphone不會(huì)導(dǎo)致ipod和itouch的銷路被阻塞,同時(shí)也需要保證itune能夠被很好的捆綁進(jìn)去,另外,由于蘋果還有imac以及其他的產(chǎn)品線。但是谷歌沒有任何硬件擋道,他也不需要關(guān)注自己的產(chǎn)品之間產(chǎn)生競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。
10. Deeper integration——深度集成
Although Google will provide developers with full freedom with regards to Android development, it will also present manufacturers with a template, a foundation that uses off the shelf, easily available, widely acceptable products.?
雖然說谷歌為開發(fā)者提供完全自由的平臺(tái)去增設(shè)自己想要的功能,谷歌同時(shí)也提供一些模板和基礎(chǔ),消費(fèi)者可以靈活輕松的使用到這些廣泛應(yīng)用的軟件。
