American Fortune Life

In 1994, the first mobile game Tetris in history was born, but this incident did not attract enough attention from the giant Nintendo at that time.

The development of mobile phones in the following years was very rapid: in 1997 Nokia launched the 6110 mobile phone with Snake, and in 1998 Siemens launched the world's first color screen mobile phone S10. By the time of 1998-2003, PDA mobile phones had quietly risen.

Microsoft's WM system, Palm system. At the same time, some ordinary mobile phones have also developed intelligent systems in order to make breakthroughs, such as Nokia's Saipan, RIM's BlackBerry and other systems. This type of mobile phone has gradually been collectively referred to as "smartphone".

This pseudo-smart phone can only rely on JAVA programs to install some JAVA software or games. Such as JAVA reading, JAVA version of Prince of Persia, rally racing and so on.

From 1994 to 2006, mobile phones developed smart phones that could rival Sony PS home consoles, such as the N-Gage launched by Nokia in 2003 and the follow-up model N-GageQD launched one year later. It's a mobile phone similar to the handheld, and many people will still have an impression if they want to come, or they still have it at home.

At this time mobile games have blossomed everywhere. The picture quality is also between GBA and PSP. But because there is no unified marketplace, the quality and sales of mobile games are far from competing with Nintendo's GAMEBOY series.

In addition to smart phones, there are also very DA-style handhelds that are also trying to enter the handheld market. This type of handheld is generally not able to make calls, but it also has functions that go far beyond GBA. In fact, the PDA is covered with a layer of cross key and AB key skin.

For example, TapwaveZodiac, a handheld device based on the Palm operating system, was released in 2003. This handheld can not make calls, it is a multimedia handheld similar to PSP. It eventually sold 200,000 units.

Shanda of the Rabbit Country also launched a handheld in 2006, and the game released at the same time has the famous "Legend". Make a sum of money on the palm. It is a pity that in 2006, the network foundation of Rabbit Country was immature. At that time, it was not popular to play online games on the palm. Soon the handheld also withdrew from the market.

In 2004, the two worst rivals in the history of handheld games, NDS and PSP, began a war of tears.

PSP is like a mini version of PS2. Has traditional core masterpieces such as "God of War", "Monster Hunter P3", "Ridge Racer", "Metal Gear and Parallels", "The Second Robot War Z" and other traditional masterpieces. Of course, the PSP can also run PS games perfectly, and it can be regarded as an era in the palm of your hand.

Andy knows that people now generally think that mobile phones are used to make calls and send text messages. Mobile games are just a gimmick, and PDA handhelds usually cost more than 2,000 or even 3,000. So to play a real handheld game or to buy a handheld.

Therefore, he now said that to develop the already drowned flowers that have been beaten by the handheld, and find no mobile games in the North, Blair and other management can agree to have ghosts.

And to be honest, many people are very dismissive of the smartphone era that Andy advocates, not joking, even Jobs doesn't understand why this young man is more confident than him.

This is not an exaggeration. In the face of the thousands of games and software applications that Microsoft and Nokia have developed to match the system, to be honest, the love crazy that can only support music playback has no advantage.

Apple and Steve Jobs originally developed this phone with the intention of consolidating the status of the ipod and giving Microsoft and Nokia a troublesome starting point.

Andy knew that Apple's crazy phone in the future would be successful, and almost all the traditional mobile phone giants would be eliminated, but now he said that no one would believe him.

Steve Jobs became **** because of the success of Amad, but some time ago, after the Amad 1 conference, Microsoft smiled and Nokia smiled. In their view, Apple's launch of this product is undoubtedly suicidal. You know, Apple has been losing money for several years because of its early years with Microsoft in the home computer platform system. At this time, I did not work hard to make a difference in the home computer system, but I was going to engage in an ipod mobile phone. It was really brain damage + neuropathy.

This is the reality in 2007. There is no exaggeration nor derogation. Jobs proved great afterwards. Of course, he succeeded.

But now, the only charge ahead, Andy Smith, who has great confidence in smartphones, has all kinds of preaching in the media. For Nokia and Microsoft, this humble kid is like a clown.

As a traverser, I have eyes to see through the future, but at the same time must bear the pain and depression that others cannot understand. Andy also knows how some science and technology newspapers laugh at themselves, and how various IT bosses laugh at themselves. Of course, what disappointed him most was the silence and lack of confidence in Jobs and Apple.

Andy knows that Love Crazy is a little black horse born out of nowhere. It came to this world with a lot of bad things. It has a birthmark of a rotten apple on its back, and a few English letters-iphone are written below.

In fact, this is also good. At least Andy Smith has stolen too much of the limelight and aura from Jobs, because after Apple's success, everyone will remember who their swollen faces were. Andy Smith and Jobs may be Tied up in various reports, leading this era.

Andy's remarkable and forward-looking vision will give him a huge right to speak in the future. This is the most important point that he doesn't care about being mocked and ridiculed and still insisting on what he said is the real smartphone era.

In the conference room, Andy put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood alone at the window, watching the setting sun, his eyes narrowed, his thoughts did not know where to fly.

The meeting was long overdue. The plan for the mobile game "Fruit Swordsman" established a project team under his ducai. The company can only accept the decision of the big boss. Blair tried to persuade again, but Andy was very firm. .

Andy won't do anything stupid as the pioneer of Wang, he will not fail, and the future of mobile games is extremely bright. He now thinks about more than just mobile games.

Some people may ask, why not make a cell phone? Apple is just getting started, why not come by yourself?

But thinking of the old fox to face and Steve Jobs known for his greed, he really didn't have much confidence to grab this piece of meat from his mouth, and Steve Jobs' favorite thing is to dominate the monopoly market, maximize the benefits, and betray him. The partner alone does not have any psychological pressure on him.

Steve Jobs is a genius, no doubt about it, but he is morally disadvantaged, and it is well known that he is very difficult to get along with.

Alas.

Andy heard the knock on the door and didn't look back, still looking out the window.

"Boss, just now ..."

Andy raised his arm to stop Blair from continuing. "You just did what you think you should do. Is this okay, is it all right?"

Blair was finally relieved. Since the end of the meeting just now, the boss has been staying in the conference room without going out. He thought the boss was angry because everyone didn't support the mobile game project. Now it seems he thinks more.

"The personnel, equipment and site of the Fruit Swordsman development team have been handled."

Andy turned to look at him, nodded and asked, "Call Apple to make an appointment, and say that I want to meet with Jobs for a business. I think he will meet with me. After all, I have already dealt with him. Hello, he must also want to see me! "

"Is it because of the IOS system? I think we will add game applications to his system, they will be very welcome, and should give us the IOS system in advance. After all, we should be the first software application based on this mobile system. "Blair knows he can't change his boss' decision, so he needs to change his mind and do his job as well as his executive.

"The IOS system will be used by us in advance, but I don't want this. Hey, it's a headache, Jobs is a headache!" Andy said with a bitter smile. In short, he only needs to say Intent, Jobs will definitely see the value in it, will he leave his own alone, this depends on whether he has confidence in his Apple iphone.
