Rewrite the Technological Landscape

This year's Google I/O is also the first, and Eric gave an emotional opening speech. After all, this year is the tenth year of Google's establishment.

As a company founded in 1998, in ten years, the market value has exceeded 200 billion meters. It is also a terrible thing to develop to this point, and it is in the case that classic products such as Android and Google browser have not yet exploded. It can be said that Google is the darling of Silicon Valley investors in the past few years, and it is the company that saw the most serious rise in Silicon Valley's stock price in 2007. There are even people who call Google the Silicon Valley myth in the post-Internet era.

The conference convened 2500 people. Although the scale is far smaller than the Dafeng Group, the attention is still very high.

The theme of the first Google I/O is still Android, GoogleMapsAPI and Libc database.

GoogleMapsAPI is a programming API launched by Google itself, which allows programmers all over the world who are interested in Google Maps to develop services based on Google Maps and build their own map websites.

Google Maps has been well received since its launch in 2005, and it is a very successful product of Google.

Meng Qian was sitting in front of the computer watching this Google conference, and what he cared most was whether the Android system had changed in this life.

As a result, it has changed.

Android was approved by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States in advance. As a result, the upgrade of the Android system has been advanced, and the arrival of the world's first Android phone has also been advanced.

At the conference site, Google introduced the upgraded Android 1.5 system. One of the highlights is that Android does not use glibc as the C library, but instead uses Google’s own Lib. At the same time, Android 1.5 adds support for on-screen virtual keyboards. Making Android phones can also be entered in the virtual keyboard on the screen, plus more languages ​​so far, showing Google's ambitions.

After introducing the system, Google immediately released the world's first Android phone, T-mobileG1.

The T-mobileG1 is customized by the American operator T-MobileUSA, and is the world's first Android phone produced by HTC. In China, the T-mobileG1 is generally called HTCG1.

Eric explained the phone, "The T-mobile G1 uses a concealed full keyboard with a sliding design. The special feature of the sliding cover keyboard of this phone is that only the upper part of the screen can be pushed out. The sliding cover of the mobile phone is not the same when the upper cover is pushed out. When the upper cover is pushed out, it will have an arc-shaped trajectory, not straight out.

There are five rows of keyboards, and quite a lot of shortcut keys are preset. The shortcut keys that are universal in the world or dedicated in the browser and information interface can be used smoothly. Of course, although T-mobileG1 has a keyboard, it also supports touch operation.

In terms of configuration, T-mobileG1 is equipped with a Qualcomm 7201 processor with a clocked frequency of 528MHz. The front of the fuselage is equipped with a 480×320 pixel resolution 3.17-inch touch screen, a memory of 192MBRAM+256MBROM, and supports up to 8G memory cards. T-mobileG1 supports 3G network. "

In recent years, other mobile phones can basically expand the storage space by themselves, but Hongmeng mobile phones and Apple mobile phones cannot.

However, Eric did not say the price, this is HTC's business, and finally HTC's price is 2700 soft sister coins.

After the applause, Eric began to move on to the next topic, "In order to further promote the development of the Android system, the Open Mobile Alliance has added 66 members. They are China Telecom, China Unicom, MediaTek, ASUS, Acer... , The Open Mobile Alliance has expanded to 150 members.

At the same time, we will provide more technical support for global developers on the basis of open source. "

After talking, Eric began to show Google's various development tools and development materials on the Android platform, and has repeatedly emphasized the openness of Android, and all the revenues of Android applications belong to the developers, and many other benefits.

Compared with IOS and Hongmeng, Android's openness is indeed more friendly to developers. Coupled with the mobile phone display that was released in advance, many people have a lot of expectations for Android, after all, Android's positioning is more comprehensive.

Finally, at the conference site Google also did a very generous thing. Every participant gave a T-mobileG1, so that everyone can go back and feel it.

Although this approach did not seem to have much positive effect, because after everyone felt it, they found that no matter whether it was a mobile phone or a system, they were all beaten by Hongmeng.

However, Google immediately started public relations. Hongmeng 1 has a lot of problems. You have to give Android a time to grow. Everyone thinks it makes sense. Besides, open source is indeed more convenient for developers. More and more people are starting to study Android. With this system, the Open Mobile Alliance received a lot of inquiries in just a few days.

The ecosystem of Android has been established and started.

After the conference, looking at the overall market response was not bad, Eric immediately contacted a person, that is Yin Jonglong of Samsung Electronics. Google finally decided not to make mobile phones for the time being, so they need to find a mobile phone manufacturer for in-depth cooperation to promote the development of Android.

At present, Google has a good relationship with HTC, but Google finally chose to put Samsung in the first place. In fact, from the results of the past, Google's judgment is not wrong.

Samsung is also very interested, mainly because Samsung has not had any status in the Symbian Alliance, and Google has given Samsung a lot of operating space and alliance status. Samsung thinks it is an opportunity.

So the two sides hit it off, Samsung will vigorously develop Android-based mobile phones, of course, HTC will also attach importance to Android.

After finishing all this layout, Eric was full of expectations for the Android system, and he held a celebration party on April 30th and was drunk.

The next day I got up in a daze. Upon arriving at the company, Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, hurriedly came to Eric's office, "Eric, there is movement over China."

"Hua Xia? What's happening over there?"

"China has four companies suddenly released a joint mobile phone conference."

"Which four companies?"

"ZTE, Huawei, Coolpad, Meizu."

Eric's head is still a little dizzy, "It's just four mobile phone brands, it's not a big deal, right."

Andy looks uneasy ~www.ltnovel.com~ If the four mobile phone brands are really nothing, the problem is that there is a brand new mobile phone system under this joint conference! "

"Mobile phone system? Hongmeng?" Eric's first reaction was naturally Hongmeng, unaware that Andy was talking about a brand new mobile phone system.

"It's not Hongmeng."

Eric came back a bit, "Dafeng Group has also developed another mobile phone system?!"

"No, this system was not developed by Dafeng Group."

"Not Dafeng Group?" Eric was stunned. He couldn't think of any other company besides Dafeng Group China that would develop a brand new mobile phone system. "Who is that?"

Andy put the information in his hand in front of Eric, "You can say it is them, you can also say it is it."

Eric looked at the information in front of him, his pupils slowly contracted, "Andy, I have an inexplicable anxiety."
