Chapter 897

Jamie conducted an experiment and conducted an anti-fall test on the Baji. In the picture attached to the blog, he wrote: "The sensational appearance, the Baji is not falling at all and the quality is not good. It is concluded that this phone will not pose a threat to No. I think this useless product is very failed. However, the press conference was indeed very successful and it is very likely to fool the first batch of buyers. "Le ("

However, the facts were not what Jamie expected.

He was scolded and made a name for himself, and he made a name for himself on many portal websites the next day.

"Are you a pig? We bought mobile phones not for throwing, but for use, grass, I concluded that Nokia would die within five years, stupid."

"Nokia is the boss of the mobile phone industry."

"If I only choose the big brother from the perspective of anti-fall, I will not mess with me."

"The screen is so big, the quality is really a problem, hey, but I still want it."

“Want +1.”

"Who's crazy about the brain will fall?"

"Yinba made a mistake, a big mistake. He invited such a brain-drawing, but he didn't invite me, hey."

Google Inc.

Although there are countless project teams in Google's headquarters, which resembles a university campus, the most mysterious and ambitious one is Google's own smartphone team.

More than 40 engineers from the team were crowded in the corner of the first floor of Building 44, surrounded by advertising sales representatives.

Although the office area is not big, their ambitions are really great: these engineers believe that they are about to bring a revolution to the entire mobile phone industry.

By today, they have been working 15 months of high-intensity work and have to work 60 to 80 hours a week.

Some of these employees have even been overworked for more than two years, writing code day and night, negotiating authorization matters with third-party software companies, and flying around the world to find suppliers and manufacturers.

One of the engineers discovered a press conference on Faebook's synchronous live broadcast on the Internet.

As they approached, all the teams of Google's mobile phone system stopped.

"Oh my God, as a consumer, I was completely conquered. I wanted to buy one immediately, but as a Google engineer, I think we had to start from scratch. Compared with the Longba system that this phone is on, our system has no advantage."

For most people in Silicon Valley in the United States, the press conference held in China today is a shocking thing. The Chinese are actually at the forefront and have done something that even Silicon Valley people can’t do.

The gb celebration continues.

The dance music is played.

Xuezi took the initiative to surround Liu Chen's neck, and the two danced together, swinging gently. She smiled charmingly and asked softly: "Why did you think of making a mobile phone system?"

Liu Chen smiled without answering.

The mobile phone industry in 2005 was of great significance to the development of high-tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple.

Mobile phone software was one of the worst-performing technical fields at that time. Not only did it lack sufficient bandwidth to allow users to access the Internet smoothly, the mobile phone performance was also very low and could only run the simplest software.

Not only Jobs, but Google also keenly discovered that the biggest problem in the entire industry is oligopoly: apart from mobile operators and mobile phone manufacturers, few companies write software for mobile phones, and existing software is also very bad.

Wireless bandwidth can be increased, and mobile phone chips can be faster, but at the time it seemed that all this seemed to be subject to operators and mobile phone manufacturers.

Not long ago, Google reached a deal with Vodafone, hoping to preinstall Google searches on your phone, but the other party gave a solution to allow Google to deliver some results, but most of them are controlled by them, and Google's results will be placed at the bottom of each search request.

Mobile phones do not have excellent mobile browsers, and the sold ringtones sometimes get high weight in search results. This is what all operators do.

After research, Google found that the reason why not many developers developed software for mobile phones at that time was because almost all attempts ended in losses.

There is no standard in the mobile phone software industry, and almost every phone runs its own dedicated software. In other words, software written for Samsung phones cannot be compatible with Motorola phones or Nokia phones. Even the software platforms of the same company cannot communicate with each other.

For example, there are several versions of the Saipan system alone.

For any developer, the mobile phone industry is a big money-burning pit, which discourages most people.

The most profitable business is not to write applications for mobile phones, but to mobile phone software testing companies. The purpose is to ensure that your application is compatible with all mobile phones on the market.

Google Ceo Larry Page never hides his frustration with Google, but Page and other Google executives know that in the end someone will definitely be able to solve this problem in the mobile phone industry. What they are most worried about is that Microsoft may ultimately solve the problem.

If any company can monopolize the mobile phone system, it would be extremely terrible.

Google has always been most afraid of Microsoft's advantage in the mobile field. Microsoft will prevent users from using Google to search and promote their own products.

In the 1990s, Microsoft was sued for prohibiting it from abusing its dominance in the desktop and notebook markets. For example, Microsoft cannot set its own search engine as the default search engine for the indos system, but rather let users choose independently.

However, there are not many regulations in the smartphone market to regulate Microsoft.

Google is worried that if Microsoft sets development barriers for Google on indos mobile devices, many users will choose Microsoft's search engine.

This was the key method Microsoft used IE to defeat Netscape in the 1990s.

If users give up Google and switch to competitors such as Microsoft, Google's business will shrink rapidly.

The thing Google is most worried about has happened, but it is not Microsoft. I really don’t know if it should be glad or even more sad.

Andy Rubin, the head of the mobile system team, is in Las Vegas thousands of miles away. He is preparing to meet with representatives of mobile phone manufacturers and mobile operators at the CES exhibition, but the hot reprint on Faebook shocked him.

On the way to the appointment, he even asked the driver to park on the road so that he could watch the live broadcast of the press conference.

"My God," he told a colleague in the car, "it seems we can't develop that system anymore."

"Why? Our software is more revolutionary than the system just released by China. In addition to a fully functional web browser, it can also provide first-class Google web applications, including searches, maps, video websites, and is compatible with all smartphones, pdas or other portable devices."

Rubin sighed: "However, the phone we carry is ugly in appearance and looks like BlackBerry, with a traditional keyboard and a small non-touch screen."

"Consumers care more about the inner self of the phone than the appearance."

Rubin said helplessly: "But the appearance and multi-finger touch of this phone are too magical and too technological. Let's cancel the appointment. We rush back to investigate and report to CEO as soon as possible. If this phone is successful in China, we should not want to enter the Chinese market in our search."

At the same time, Jobs also watched the entire press conference on the Internet, and at the same time, the entire iPhone team.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit stiff and no one spoke.

The mobile phones they are developing claim to be revolutionary, but they did not expect that China's voice-bar company was released in advance, and it was stronger than they expected.

Jobs whispered, "joe, tell me."

Joe said: "There are few successful cases of revolutionary mobile phone design, and this... this phone may not make any waves. The Nokia N-Gage released in 2003 tried to integrate game consoles with mobile phones and email devices, but suffered a crushing defeat. Rim is the opposite. They have first-class keyboards and secure emails, but they are extremely simple in appearance, but they still become the dominant company in the smartphone industry."

Jobs smiled sarcastically and said, "In comparison, the Baji not only has a cool appearance, but also uses this cool appearance to realize a new mobile phone interaction method. Using a virtual keyboard to replace most physical buttons, all applications can have unique control methods. Play, pause, and stop buttons will only appear when listening to music or watching videos. When you want to enter the URL, the keyboard will appear, but when you click the Enter key, it will automatically disappear."

"It is possible that our engineers have never thought about this method at all, and your imagination is still too scarce."
