Many fans who often visit the app store have discovered that an app called Fairy Guard has been quietly posted on the homepages of many countries.
When you open the page, you will see that it is a protective and anti-virus software for smartphones. It specifically targets some Trojan horse programs to ensure the security of the programs you use and your bank card information.
It is worth mentioning that, according to the introduction, this Fairy Guard can be used for Fairy system, Apple's iOS system, Samsung's bada system and Android system.
It is normal for Fairy Guard to be able to run on the Fairy system, iOS system and Samsung bada system. After all, they are all partners of the app store.
But with the addition of the Android system, it seems to have a different meaning.
Obviously, this aspect was included in the previous settlement agreement between Fairy Company and Google. Otherwise, even if the Android system is an open platform, Google would still have to argue with Fairy Company.
Speaking of which, Fairy Company has really benefited more from this patent settlement than people imagined.
In the app store, mobile phones with Android system cannot download apps. If you want to download apps suitable for Android system, you can only download them from the Android store.
Compared with the App Store, which has already exceeded 1 million programs, the Android store cannot be said to be a handful of kittens now, but the total number is less than 100,000, of which more than 70,000 are free programs and are actually used for charging.
There are less than 30,000 apps.
Among these 30,000 apps, the ones that can make money are even more pitiful, with only less than 2,000. Less than one-tenth of the total.
The rest are either those that Google, Nokia and Motorola spent money to support, or they were designed by some programmers with a sense of free Internet.
Without the driving force to make money, it is impossible to have exquisite products.
A good game, such as "Plants vs. Zombies", takes dozens of people years of hard work and continuous update and development to become popular all over the world. Of course, some hobby games cannot compare.
Therefore, most of the software or games produced by these programmers are useless, causing more than 80 million Android users to complain.
You read that right, Android mobile phone users, even if they are suppressed by the alliance between Fairy, Apple and Samsung, rely on the good reputation of Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson for many years, their users this year have exceeded 80 million
, and it continues to increase.
These are the different taste choices of people around the world.
Especially among European users, many who have no money or some elderly people are still accustomed to using Nokia mobile phones.
This is also reflected in North and South America, where many elderly people and people who are short of money use Motorola mobile phones that they have been accustomed to for 20 or 30 years.
Sony Ericsson also has its own fans in Japan and some Southeast Asian countries, and Sony Ericsson's st38 mobile phone is the most beautiful and best-performing among the three Android mobile phones. The average sales volume reaches 200 per month.
Wanbu has become a weapon for the smooth development of the Android Alliance.
This time, Fairy Guard suddenly appeared in the Android store just after it was connected to the app store, which surprised everyone.
The reason is simple. Unless it is a free app, the app store and the Android store are completely incompatible.
In the past, the Android store poached many star game companies in the app store because they wanted to have their own games and software to counter the blockade of the app store.
As a result, now, why does Fairy Company’s app appear in both the app store and the Android store?
Could it be that Xiao Qi himself broke the rules he set?
But it doesn't look like it, otherwise with Gang Leader Qiao's violent temper, he would have definitely started a fight with Xiao Qi.
Soon, the App Store issued a network-wide announcement, revealing the answer to this mystery.
"Representatives of the App Store and the Android Store and the Developers Association have reached an agreement. From today on, all apps in the App Store can be sold in the Android Store at the same time, but the sharing ratio will change. For apps sold only in the App Store, the sharing ratio will
It’s still a 30-70 split; for apps sold simultaneously in the Android store, in the first year, the app store will get a 60-40 split, the app store will get a 60 percent split, and the developer will get a 40 percent split. From the second year on, it will be a 50-50 split.”
I see!
People who were puzzled by the outside world finally felt like they were clearing the fog and seeing the blue sky.
It’s just that the world is so ever-changing!
Google and Fairy Company were fighting each other just a moment ago, so how come they suddenly became close partners?
The ones who should cry the most are the 39 companies that were poached at the end of the year before last.
"Plants vs. Zombies", "Angry Sparrows", "Fantasy Lianliankan", "Pac-Bean Game"... 39 companies are among the top 100 best-selling smart games in Appstore, but the copyrights of these games they have developed before are not
It's completely left in the app store, and I can't get another penny.
Although these losses have been compensated by the Android Alliance, whoever sees the game that he has worked so hard to make is used by others to make a lot of money will feel uncomfortable, right?
What's more, some of the games they developed later did not make as big a splash and make money as the first games that made them famous, which made them even more unhappy.
In the past two years, these companies have frequently been involved in lawsuits against the App Store, but both Xiao Qi and Gang Leader Qiao, Li Jianxi, have resolutely fought back. No matter how much money is spent and how much manpower and material resources are spent, they will never compromise.
Compared with Appstore’s counterattack regardless of cost, these companies already have less money, so how can they afford to drag it out in court?
So in the end they all ended in failure.
It's natural to think about it. If they win, wouldn't it be a good reminder to other developers that I can leave whenever I want, but you don't dare to sanction me anyway?
Once this happens, the app store that the three giants have painstakingly built will immediately fall into disintegration. How can these three people with great ambitions in the field of smart electronics accept it?
Even now, even if Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi agree to Xiao Qi's plan to appropriately open up exclusive rights to the app camp, they will never agree to return the profits of these 39 companies to them.
A contract is a contract. If you violate the contract before the agreement is reached, you deserve what you get!
It is said that Xiao Qi proposed the idea of opening the app camp to Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi in September last year, but the two always felt that they could wait and see more before discussing.
Nowadays, the Android store is not popular, and the application market is still dominated by AppStore. Who doesn’t want to make more money?
It wasn't until the boy released Dreamsnow on Christmas Day, which once again caused a sensation all over the world and created great power, that Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi agreed to open up exclusive rights to the app this year.
Of course, in addition to this reason, it is also due to the collective pressure from developers.
Although the development of the Android store is not very smooth, after all, it has the support of Google, Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson. It now has 80 million users in one year. In the future, as more small and medium-sized mobile phone manufacturers join, the number of users will definitely increase.
Coming more and more.
Developers, whether individuals or companies, are well aware of the appeal of the word "free" to ordinary people.
As long as the Android system is free for one day, those small and medium-sized companies without R&D capabilities will definitely cut off most of their system R&D departments, and instead use local materials to use the Android system. At most, they will only optimize it to match their own mobile phones.
How difficult is it to make a feature phone?
Nowadays, even a small factory with 30 people can make feature phones. Isn’t it because of the emergence of baseband template solutions?
What is the hardest part about smartphones?
Isn’t it just about the intelligent operating system?
Now the Android system has made up for this biggest shortcoming of everyone. Although many manufacturers have not been able to join immediately due to technical obstacles such as touch screens, CPU chips, etc., in a year at most, the Android Alliance will definitely be able to add several more generals.
The size of the camp increased exponentially.
Think about the final output of feature phones. Basically, the output of small and medium-sized manufacturers is higher than that of large manufacturers!
This means that with the development of smart phones, this situation will also happen!!
Under such expectations, they certainly do not want to be bound by the app store alone. They also hope that they can have both sides and make money everywhere.
Even though the Android Alliance obviously doesn't make much money now, they still have to plan ahead, join in early, and seize the Android Alliance market early.
From the standpoint of these developers, their ideas are not wrong at all, and it is completely okay to fight for their own interests reasonably.
Everyone is tit for tat for their own interests, and there is no right or wrong.
In fact, the departure of those 39 companies was not without such considerations.
However, they misjudged the strength of the Android Alliance, thinking that a free system would allow them to get more users. However, they did not expect that the system was free, but the company that made the mobile phone made the mobile phone itself very poorly, and directly lost many users.
Users were discouraged and switched to several mobile phones from the App Store camp. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
