upcoming release of the world's thinnest phone Ascend P2


Huawei terminal statement shortly before the CES show the upcoming release of the world's thinnest phone Ascend P2, the thickness of only 6.18 mm, but we see in MWC2013 a 9 mm thick, 4.7-inch screen, 720P screen phone.
 
Huawei Ascend P1 smartphone, Ascend P2 full thickness 0.71 mm, the commitment before Huawei thinnest 6.18 mm compared, a whole more than the 2.22 mm (the difference between the digital standard 8.4 mm calculated in accordance with the P2 final) . In other words, the the thinnest smartphone Huawei MWC2013 commitment not objective honored.
 
The reason related media analysis for Huawei chip is too thick, less than the thinnest ideal requirements.
 
Commitment from the General Assembly to lose the trust of the public, Huawei will own MWC2013 on line practice words "brand philosophy pushed to the highest questioned the point.
 
Brand ripped through force, only know how to take this chance to marketing, but it is done head no tail, is tantamount to a huge irreversible trap set ourselves. Although the brand to do for speculation, but such speculation is no doubt to his face to wipe the black.
 
Ming know own chip development technology is not ground, air, and was loudly preached to launch the thinnest phone. Brand damage, even though punched hundreds of millions of advertising may also be a small stone thrown into the river, splashing can not afford the number of spray!
 
The Huawei why the chip field?

Looking at the smart phone market, competition is fierce indeed.

Intelligent terminal company wants to control on the middle and lower reaches, the integration of production lines, product channel sales rapidly expanding sprinkle the lowest product cost, and market opportunities. However, due to various strategic foundation before is not the same, and how to achieve the harmonization of the primary task of many intelligent terminal configured to integrate into order.
 
South Korea's Samsung Electronics continues to strengthen in the field of memory and display, by virtue of a complete industrial chain and the ability to integrate, defeated Apple become intelligent terminal industry giant.
 
Of course, Apple also by virtue of its own operating system and vendors sold through the channel, Jobs marketing has come to the end of the integration.
 
Huawei may see this huge integration of mass destruction, only the chip development and Hass cooperation, in order to reduce hardware costs and product stable supply, so that rational and self-confidence to enter the intelligent terminal market.

two foreign media on Google shortly before the release

Recently two foreign media on Google shortly before the release of the Chromebook almost contradictory reports are brought to our attention, one is that Chromebook sales, suggest that Google to abandon the development and marketing of Chrome OS; another says, Chromebook notebook computer geeks, and taking Acer Chromebook as an example to illustrate the best-selling. Why the same product appeared to be quite different conclusion?

As everyone knows, Tani Kago released their latest Chrome OS system by Chromebook Pixel, this call is the latest Chrome OS, is because before Google Chrome OS is not supported on touch control function, and in some years ago have been introduced, but does not form a climate, this was the return filed and triggered the concern, because it is Google himself, issued to its own brand; the second is its first support touch function, it's Surface tablet computer Microsoft independent brand, Google wants to personally, to the outside world, it is important that partners to prove their value of Chrome OS. So Chromebook should be no doubt refers to Google personally launched based on the Chrome OS notebook. If so, what Acer Chromebook?

Before Google officially released their Chromebook Pixel, reports that the traditional PC manufacturer, HP, Acer, Samsung announced a Google Chrome OS notebook based on. But since Google your Chromebook Pixel is the first product on the market to support the touch function based on the Chrome OS notebook, we can conclude that these manufacturers to use should be without touch function Chrome OS, which also determine the partner to launch the Chromebook price is far less than the $1300 price is close to the Google Chromebook. Released statistics on foreign media reports in the Acer Chromebook (the correct term should be the Google Chrome OS system based on the notebook) sales statistics from last year calculation can conclude, Acer shipping Chromebook should be early Chrome OS, more should not be with a touch function, this from its low price (average at around $240) has been confirmed.

Also because of the limitations of screen

Also because of the limitations of screen, intelligent watch whatever work or recreation and intelligent mobile phone and tablet computer are compared, a lot of difference, which makes the intelligent watch is very difficult to have accurate market positioning, or attract what kind of user. In fact, in the smart watches have failed in a Sony intelligent watch critics even call it simply respond to touch commands can not, not to mention what touch experience. In this regard, Swiss watch brand Swatch group CEO Nick Hayek said, for iWatch to replace the apple iPhone said he is skeptical. He believes that one of the biggest difficult problem is the screen size.

The third is to increase the difficulty of the design. In fact, this was mainly due to the screen. This makes the manufacturers in product design differentiation play space is greatly reduced, which inevitably leads to the user selective (first appearance) limitations, and given the smart watch manufacturers are not professional and brand watches enterprises, the approximate shape follow the same pattern and brand awareness, but also increased the user the choice of confusion. Of course, the design also involves the development of internal such as chip, memory, memory technology, whether in the confusion between the capacity of so many components, heat dissipation, batteries, how to balance and solve the technical difficulty will increase a lot, in short.

Finally, the application is related to experience (ecosystem). As mentioned before, due to the screen of the restrictions, now whether Apple's iOS, or the application of Google Android most certainly not suitable for use in smart watches, even can use, experience is less than in the intelligent mobile phone and tablet computer for development, so the need at least two times development. Fit, the next question is whether the developers have enough power to do so. But in view of some of the above analysis, the initial power, intelligent watch will be difficult to get developers greatly interested can say, if manufacturers want to watch the market really a word, facing the apple and Google is likely to reshape the ecosystem, but who are clearly it will be a long and process full of risks, these bosses are really willing to pay?

Comprehensive above analysis, we think, in accordance with the smart watch manufacturers inertial thinking mode in the field of intelligent mobile phone to development, the challenge is very large, the probability of success is very low, but out of the inertia of thinking, in a completely innovative ideas to build intelligent watch may be only the first step to success.

After the intelligent mobile phone and Google Glass

After the intelligent mobile phone and Google Glass, the recent intelligent watch has become the hot topic, and Google, apple, Samsung, LG started the development of smart watches, and some have even out of the prototype design. In fact, the so-called smart watch is not a new thing, there have been many manufacturers not only have tried, some will watch their intelligence to the market, but has so far failed to have any one of the vendors in a smart watch success in the market, was almost cut. Therefore, foreign media summed up before failure intelligent watch products, including some of the apple, Samsung, Sony Microsoft and such. Then why do smart watch these manufacturers will become the pioneer? Intelligent watch the future really can have the market?

We observe carefully these have failed, intelligent watch products, did not say first experience how, in the intelligent watch foreign media summary paragraph 7 failed, there are two is because of the high price (a Samsung I'm Watch for $600, $450) and failed to be accepted by the market, the proportion of close 7 failure smart watch 1/3. Don't look down on the price, it directly determines the choice of users and manufacturers profit. But from before the industry forecast apple iWatch profit rate than iPhone and iPad, a smart watch manufacturing cost is not low, but this does not mean it is not low manufacturing cost is higher than that of iPhone or iPad, but its market sales prices and firms gain profit margins compared.

The second is to experience. We believe that due to product attribute intelligent watch its decision of the limited screen size. 1 - 2 - inch screen definition will no doubt make today in touch intelligent mobile phone and tablet computer popular experience greatly reduced, but unfortunately, even though the screen is quite small (compared with the intelligent mobile phone and tablet computer), but its ease of operation has not improved, intelligent mobile phone or even as small size (can single hand operation), and smart watch in any case is not one hand touch (because of the need to control it, the arm with a watch at least some action).

Were acquired mobile phone end products to share

From Yahoo! Were acquired mobile phone end products to share with the recommended application, reading news site Stamped, Snip.it, mobile video chat Venture Company OnTheAir, basically are mobile and social related start-up small businesses, and the acquisition of the recent $30000000 acquisition of Summly has reached a stage. Or that aroused the concern of the industry. The cause for concern, is not the application of popularity, but the founder of this application is only 17 years old from London has been likened to the young genius of Nik de Aloi Theo (Nick D 'Alosio), a young start-ups are large companies such as Yahoo! Buy itself will attract a lot of eyeballs despite the youth development, downloaded Summly so far only 1000000, and has not yet profitable. Allegedly, Summly is Yahoo! After the merger of its service will be shut down, de Aloi Theo will join the Yahoo! After completing their studies.

But I don't know why Meijer these M & A always gives the human one kind of not enough sense of atmosphere, at least for had $4000000000 in cash for Yahoo. Maybe the personage inside course of study says, Meijer's M & A is not to these enterprises, but these enterprises in the talent, here is not to deny the importance of talent, but M & A to talent into the enterprise and effectiveness is the need of time, and the current situation of Yahoo! Needs is can in some way can immediately upgrade or change its market position of the M & A. In other words, Yahoo! Needs to strive for is time. Although Meijer was appointed Yahoo! CEO, its revenues and profits have been increasing, but it is more from Yahoo! Japanese and held by Alibaba shares (including the sale of half of the shares held by Alibaba) returns, Yahoo! Its business conditions have not been significantly improved.

If so, why did Meijer acquisition of these enterprises, especially the acquisition of Summly? Have a look the rival Yahoo!, Google by Android accounted for future mobile platform, Facebook entered this year through a variety of measures, the number of mobile users growth, in this situation, not short-term change of Yahoo! Meijer must want to dosomethinpreviouslyunreleased, Masako Mi year five CEO change, Meijer very want to let oneself in the treatment rich CEO seat longer, must to the board of directors to prove themselves in general, no matter what will it bring to the Yahoo. It's no wonder that critics said, acquisition of Yahoo! Summly is just a gimmick, precisely Meijer proved himself in the Secretary to the board of directors and investors or publicity stunt, the reason we have a simple analysis.

Of course, we do not deny that Meijer's potential, allegedly, under the leadership of the Yahoo! The future may be priced $300000000 merger, at least is holding "French Youtube" called Dailymotion, if this deal was finally realized, then the global range of Yahoo! Video audience number will nearly doubled, rising from 119000000 to 230000000. In the United States, acquisition of Dailymotion, Yahoo! And video business scale will be similar with Facebook, video audience number is about 60000000. At the appointed time, Yahoo! Source of revenue not only diversification, the video business scale and thus may bring the advertising business will have a substantial growth. Is the so-called a penny, one goods. It also makes a variety of mergers and acquisitions before Meijer is more like a campaign.

its internal reform can get both praise and blame on Yahoo

Recently, Yahoo! $30000000 merger news reading application Summly again triggered the industry for Yahoo! Attention, this also makes Marisa Meyer (Marissa Mayer) since CEO took over as Yahoo! Yahoo!, the share price rise nearly 50%. This is in sharp contrast to the Bartz era of Yahoo. This contrast reflects behind, and Meijer and Bartz in a different style of Yahoo!, which has the biggest difference is that Meijer, Bartz in addition to say some layman words in front of the media, in addition to "vulgarity", even exposure to the industry seems to leave any deep dosomethinpreviouslyunreleased impression. However, Meijer is really those such as Yahoo! Share price performance as that Yahoo! Reborn, or just a rally for Meijer?

Since Meijer came to power in Yahoo! CEO Shuai India, its internal reform can get both praise and blame on Yahoo. Free lunch, send iPhone natural win the hearts of all, and after the abolition of the employee at the home office, and provoke criticism. In fact, the enterprise involves the evaluation reform the vital interests of employees always attracted mixed normal again, this is not our concern. Importantly, Meijer in the formulation and implementation of the company strategy, as is the key.

Yahoo! As a huge enterprise competition, must carry on the reform does have considerable difficulty. This from Meijer came to power after a see things in a blur measure remarkable. Company location changes, the revision, the product of shutting down, series of mergers and acquisitions. But if we contact the Yahoo! Price changes, it is not difficult to see that, Meijer's series of acquisitions for stock price of Yahoo! Pull rises to the important role. But the next is, Meijer of these mergers and acquisitions can bring real value to the Yahoo!?

Although media positioning will before Meijer under the leadership of the Yahoo! Change into technology companies, but from Meijer's move, its essence or media companies, but in the mobile Internet and social networking era, Meijer hope that more will Yahoo! Content resources to adapt to mobile Internet user experience by using technical means (including social) show the way out to the user. Since Yahoo! In mobile technology and vulnerable, M & A has become one of the important strategic Meijer revived the Yahoo.

believe this two days the Facebook Home will become a hot industry

With the Facebook Hone release, believe this two days the Facebook Home will become a hot industry, of course, in addition, this still based on Google Android system (platform) application that Google will also become the object of concern, but the concern is the core of Facebook Home will let Facebook threat to Google product in the future, service revenue, until the.

In fact, this two days foreign media have commented that, Facebook Home at least let such as search, Gmail, Map applications such as Google their marginalization, the main argument is that the Facebook Home control Android system mobile phone home page, search, Gmail, Map applications and users to use Google, at least to 1 - sliding touch 2 times. But we think this number from the user touch to measure how much an application is important or marginalized argument questionable. Just imagine, touch the current operation of intelligent mobile phone users will have how many times in a day? This how many of them are meaningless touch? If you have this application and indispensable, so only 1 - touch 2 times can put Google present these application (the main application is the current user) the edge?

Although Google by Android systems have built-in application of many of their own, but it did not occupy the entire screen of intelligent mobile phone (or home), in other words, the user in the home setting still has great autonomy. While the Facebook Home is clearly invasion user intelligent mobile phone home. In the Facebook after the release of Home, show the well-known technology blog Mashable survey, in the Facebook Home is Facebook home invasion of choice, 77% of the vote to the user to choose "yes", which has 84% of the voting user is very concerned about this "invasion", Facebook Home is visible to users buy and sell. And this shall be the users most objectionable.

This antipathy to the user is also reflected to Apple's iOS platform. In some people regret Facebook Facebook Home could not be applied to the iOS platform, is also a Mashable survey, 77% of users do not want to appear in the Facebook Home iOS platform. Don't know Apple CEO Cook saw this conclusion will have any thoughts? But one thing is for sure, the popularity of Apple's iPhone and a good user experience is not only because of the existence of Facebook application, but the entire ecological system. Apple is only for a Facebook Home regardless of the user experience and the experience of the first step (intelligent mobile phone home) all to Facbook?
