Google's Android Market in China is in danger.
at present, the development of Android can be described as booming, but in the Chinese market, Google's market performance can only be described as "bland", and it has always been unable to get rid of the chasing of its rivals
beating apple in the U.S. operating system market, which is of great significance to Google
a few days ago, according to the latest statistics of NPD, a U.S. market research organization, Android's sales in the U.S. market exceeded that of iPhone in the first quarter of this year, accounting for 28% of the total U.S. smart sales in that quarter, and the corresponding share of iPhone was 21%. Data shows that Google has replaced apple as the second most popular intelligent operating system provider in the United States for the first time. Blackberry, the Canadian intelligent manufacturer rim, still ranks first, with a market share of 36%
on May 13, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, announced another good news, saying that Google Android produces 5 experimental resolution products every day, with a volume of at least 65000. He also couldn't contain his joy and said happily, "according to the current development trend, Android is expected to play the first or second role in the global market."
Google and apple, which are fighting openly and secretly in the field of intelligent operating systems, have always been at odds. Soon after the above-mentioned survey report on the U.S. operating market was released, it was soon questioned by apple, calling it "a very limited report". An apple spokesman said that iPhone's market share in the world far exceeds that of Android operating system, and its rivals will not catch up in a short time
Valley data backup: the test data can be saved in any hard disk partition. Apple is happy, but Apple refuses to accept it. Both sides hold their own opinions, which just becomes the latest example of the intense competition for intelligent software platforms
Android in the U.S. market has achieved gratifying results
with the advent of the mobile Internet era, the prosperity of intelligence has driven the operating system, but also brought about a situation in which a group of heroes coexist
according to the latest data from IDC, the global intelligent sales volume in the first quarter was 54.7 million units, an increase of 57% year-on-year, and the total global sales volume in the same period increased by 22% year-on-year. It can be seen that the smart belt with a sharp increase in sales has boomed the whole market, and its sales volume has accounted for nearly 20% of the total global sales
since the birth of palm, the first operating system, Nokia's Symbian, Microsoft's WindowsMobile, Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and other different operating systems have emerged, starting the battle for market share. The most attractive topic in the industry has been focused on the closed camp iPhone and the open camp Android system
with the release of NPD data, the industry finally saw that the traffic generated based on Google Android surpassed Apple iPhone in the U.S. smart market for the first time
android's share growth is largely due to the strong support of U.S. operators. Foreign media analysts believe that the "buy one get one free" promotion of Verizon, the largest mobile operator in the United States, is one of the key factors for the sharp increase in Android sales. Verizon's move helped Schmidt win 30% of the smart market share
more importantly, Google provides its operating system to other manufacturers for free (Apple completely refuses to do so). Google said that as of April this year, 34 different brands of smart phones had chosen android as their operating system. Over the past few years, new versions of Android have been launched, and many manufacturers have also pursued them. Many manufacturers, including ASUS, HTC, Huawei, ZTE, LG and Samsung, have launched new versions based on Android. For a time, products equipped with Android platform flooded the market
it is the expanding camp of Android manufacturers that gives Google the confidence to challenge apple
the Chinese market, such as the easy processing characteristics of ABS and the good mechanical properties and thermal stability of PC, is in danger.
although Android's table in the first quarter of this year is remarkable because of the different shape and size of the prototype from each manufacturer submitting for inspection, Google's publicity is obviously weak in the subsequent promotion process
among all brands using Android operating system, HTC ranks first with an absolute advantage of 46.1% market share, and Google's own brand smart NexusOne has only 2.23% share. HTC, the main force, suffered a sharp decline in market share in mid April. Although the subsequent situation eased, it was obviously weak, and its share hovered. The G2 and G1 customized by the U.S. operator T-Mobile followed, but the market performance of these two Android models also fell by different degrees
this is not the worst news. At the end of April, the US mobile operator Verizon decided to give up selling NexusOne, and sprint, another operator, subsequently announced that it would no longer provide NexusOne services
in this regard, some insiders believe that Google should give up NexusOne and help as many companies sell android as possible, rather than using its own brand to compete with partners. Google sold only 135000 units in the first 74 days after the launch of NexusOne, while Apple sold 1million units in the same length of time when it first launched the iPhone in 2007
it is inconsistent with Android's impressive record in the U.S. market, and Google does not seem to pay more attention to overseas markets, especially in the Chinese market
according to the published research data, the current market performance of Android operating system in China is mediocre, and the popularity hovers between 5% and 6%, and in late April, the market popularity has declined
not only in China, but also in South Korea. In March this year, due to the existence of many games in the application store androidmarket that have not been evaluated by the Korean game rating committee, an important part of the Android operating system may be banned in South Korea. It is worth noting that Apple does not have a game category in the Korean version of the Appstore. Steve Jobs cleverly placed games in the entertainment category and successfully passed the supervision
competition is everywhere. On April 29, HP acquired palm and its WebOS operating system for $1.2 billion. In the same month, Microsoft also launched intelligence for teenagers and released a revised version of its operating system. Nokia and Intel, the global hardware giant, jointly launched the megoo platform, which is regarded by the industry as a signal for Intel to enter the mobile market. At the same time, it is also one of Nokia's actions to recover the lost ground of the operating system - Nokia's Symbian operating system. Its market share fell from 43% in February 2009 to 18% in February 2010. Finns suffered heavy losses
at the same time, the attitude of Google's former partners has also become wobbly. Motorola, a strong supporter of Android, is trying to gradually get rid of its excessive dependence on Google and announced that it will preload other companies' mapping software on its Android. Samsung developed its own operating system last year, and HTC, the NexusOne manufacturer of Google, is also reportedly considering developing its own operating system
"if Android wants to continue to make progress in the operation field, it must first clear the current problems." The industry expresses its views on the competition between the strong. It times
