Seeing that Christmas is coming in a few days, it is a peak consumption season in the West and an important time for releasing new products. Therefore, the actions of major smart electronics manufacturers have become more frequent.
First of all, Samsung has released its own smart tablet Galaxy-tab, which is the same as Google and Fairy Tablets, but their rear camera has 8 million pixels, the front camera also has 6 million pixels, and the screen resolution is also
1200x800, the recognition is very high.
Galaxy-tab is divided into seven colors, red, black, silver, purple, blue, gray and white. The 16GB version is priced at US$466, the 32GB version is priced at US$688, and the 64GB version is priced at US$988. There is no single wifi version.
Includes wifi and 3g versions.
Samsung's Galaxy-tab is somewhat square in shape, has Samsung's hardware configuration, and coupled with the bada smart system that they have been tuning for more than a year, its performance is enough to reach 80% of the Dreampad.
But please note that the performance of Samsung's Galaxy-tab can reach 80% of that of Dreampad, but Fairy Company has already reached the level of Dreampad2. By comparison, the performance of Samsung's Galaxy-tab is only 60% of that of Dreampad2 at most.
So in this calculation, even if Samsung's Galaxy-Tab is $200 cheaper than the Dreampad 2, the price/performance ratio is still far inferior to the Dreampad 2.
Just talking about their battery and smoothness, they cannot be compared with Dreampad 2. In terms of the feel of the experience, many reviewers gave a low score of 70 points, which is lower than GoogleSurllo's 80 points. It is even lower than the standard-based Dreampad 2
of 100 points.
But if you look at it from another perspective, although the quality of Samsung's galaxy-tab is average, its price is really lethal.
Its 16GB version is priced at US$466. Dreampad2 of the same grade is US$666, and Google's surllo is US$600. It is definitely not as good as dreampad2, but its performance is not far behind that of surllo, and at a price of US$134,
It's definitely enough to sway a person's mind about buying a tablet.
Moreover, Samsung has a strong sales network. It has just been released here, and the next day, the Galaxy-tab was more or less placed on Samsung counters around the world.
gle is going to scold me now.
They were already involved in a patent litigation case with Fairy Company, but they couldn't hire more lawyers than Fairy Company, and they had solid cards. There was a high possibility that the Android system would be judged for illegal infringement. This result, both for surllo and Android users,
All have a great impact.
You know, if the Android system is banned from use, not only will Surllo be unable to be sold, but all mobile phones using the Android system will not be able to be used, and the research and development of the Android system will not be able to continue - who would dare to use such a smart system? No matter it is a manufacturer or
Users are afraid to use it.
The Android system is Google's biggest support for entering smart electronics. Their attitude towards the Android system is just like Microsoft's attitude towards Windows.
Seeing the continued efforts of Fairy Company’s lawyers and lobbying team, Google no longer thought about how to deal with Fairy Company. Instead, it focused on how to get Fairy Company to let it go.
Because not only the Android system is in danger of being banned, but their Google stock price has plummeted recently. Added to the fuel of the financial crisis, the market value fell by 50% in one breath, directly falling below 60 billion US dollars, and the loss exceeded 60 billion.
Dollars!
Shareholders are becoming more and more dissatisfied with the messy policies of the board of directors. More and more shareholders have signed a letter. If Google's management does not actively save this crisis, then they will impeach the board of directors and let Page and others
Everybody stepped down.
So, after the company goes public, there will be some trouble. Many things will be restricted by others.
Although Fairy Company has sold shares in Dreampad and Dreamstars, it is also a private joint-stock company. Xiao Qi, the absolute majority shareholder, has absolute say.
However, Google also knows that such a big crisis this time is not only because Xiao Qi is contributing, but also because several other shareholders of Dreampad are also adding fuel to the flames, including several shareholders who just bought Dreamstars stock price.
Everyone's ideas are very simple. Fairy Company has always done things in a very orderly manner. Whether it is purchasing patents or paying patent licensing fees, it has never been sloppy and will never cheat.
Moreover, Xiao Qi also holds a large number of smart electronic patents and can exchange patents with European and American companies. This will not be like those stupid people who have nothing and only want to use money to open channels - for this
The company, including the Fairy Company, are not letting them in for the time being. They have to be the first to eat and drink.
You can do this to outsiders, but everyone is in the same camp, so it would be too unkind for you to do this to Google.
If you can deal with Fairy Company today, then you can deal with Samsung, Apple, HTC and other companies tomorrow. Do you still want to do business?
Isn’t everyone in business just to make money?
If I make money, you will also make money. That's fine. Why do you have to start a war?
Therefore, in terms of public opinion, Google is not very reasonable.
There is no advantage in any aspect. Page has actually wanted to bow his head for a long time. The key is that the beautiful little woman Xiao Qi sent here is really sarcastic and mean to the extreme. She can make Google's negotiators angry every time they negotiate.
Half dead, the negotiating terms are just too much, and the cynicism and sarcasm that has nothing to do with business are not enough.
Therefore, it has been more than a month since the war was started. Google's situation is getting worse and worse, but it has not improved at all.
Surllo's sales have been greatly affected by this. For more than a month, it only sold tens of thousands of units at first, but now it has not exceeded 100,000 units!
Consumers are also afraid. I just sold surllo and the law determined that surllo is an infringement and I can no longer use the operating system on it. What should I do?
In this general environment, Samsung suddenly launched a tablet computer, with the price and configuration deliberately targeting Surllo's mid-to-high-end market, and it immediately achieved good results.
Within three days, the global sales of Samsung Galaxy-tab successfully exceeded 500,000, which really made Samsung famous. Li Jianxi called Xiao Qi and was very happy.
This also makes Google feel even more bitter.
Samsung isn't the only one launching new products.
The next company to release tablets was Microsoft.
The tablet they released is still the same as the previous one, with the same name, but without the external soft keyboard ver.
Presumably it's because they launched it too early, so ver hasn't had time to come out of the lab yet.
Of course, Xiao Qi had registered all of Ver's patents two or three years ago. If they dare to make an external soft keyboard, they will have to wait and cry.
The configuration is very powerful with the strong strength of Microsoft.
, the processor is Intel's core2300, the rear camera has 6 million pixels, the front camera has 4 million pixels, the screen resolution is 980x460, but the pixel density is very eye-catching, reaching 132ppi.
There are only two colors, black and silver.
But the price is a bit expensive. The 16GB version is priced at US$666, the 32GB version is priced at US$888, and the 64GB version is priced at US$1,188. There is no single wifi version, they all include wifi and 3g versions, but the price is exactly the same as dreampad2.
The biggest highlight is the system they use, which is basically transplanting the Windows program on the computer, so that users will have a very familiar feeling, thus creating a sense of intimacy.
Microsoft's system is not involved in Java's patent disputes, nor is it involved in Google's tablet infringement, so there is no problem at all for them to sell it.
Unlike the Fairy Company, Microsoft has been making computer-related Windows systems, an intelligent system with optimized configurations, for decades. Although it is a bit stiffer than the Fairy system and the iOS system, as long as you give them time, whether it is in terms of control performance,
Whether it is file processing or gaming experience, both can be greatly improved.
Because of this nostalgic feeling, sales exceeded Samsung's in three days, reaching 1.18 million units, which made Bill's Shoes smile again.
Both Samsung and Microsoft got off to a good start. Google, which originally had this qualification, has ended up in this situation. It really makes everyone sigh with emotion! (To be continued) r655
