Chapter 817 widening the gap

Before the Spring Festival, Duan Yongping went to Baodao to talk for a week. After the Spring Festival, he took the team there and talked for about ten days, and finally convinced the other party.

Before the first month, HTC announced that it will launch a 3G smart phone with smart multi-star system to give consumers more choices.

After the news broke out, Microsoft was furious. It is said that Ballmer flew to Baodao himself the next day, but unfortunately he left the next day.

The contract has been signed and cannot be changed. Naturally, it is impossible for Microsoft to pay liquidated damages for HTC, and they cannot impose any sanctions on HTC according to the contract.

If the cooperation with HTC is forcibly terminated, the cheapest one is Zhiduoxing Group, and both HTC and Microsoft will suffer.

After the news broke out, more hardware manufacturers joined the Zhiduoxing camp, and many software manufacturers also joined in. They will develop software based on the Zhiduoxing system platform, including mobile phone software, PDA business software, and tablet software.

Everyone thought that this year would be the year of the rise of Microsoft's mobile phone system, but they didn't expect that this year's limelight would still belong to Zhiduoxing.

Microsoft snatched Suoai from the Symbian camp, but turned around and its first in-depth partner, HTC, was attracted by Zhiduoxing. Although it does not only support the Zhiduoxing system, it also dealt a great blow to Microsoft.

In particular, the semi-open source model of Zhiduoxing has allowed more manufacturers to join it. There are more than a hundred hardware manufacturers alone, and there are hundreds of software manufacturers.

In contrast, Saipan is deserted, and Nokia is completely singing a one-man show. Nokia insists that the embedded operating system is better, more space-efficient and faster to operate.

But when the three companies competed wildly, BlackBerry couldn't handle it.

In the past two years, the global financial market was hit hard, and the North American market was the first to bear the brunt. As the main position of BlackBerry, North America has naturally been greatly affected.

Even though BlackBerry has always insisted that their mobile phone system is the most secure, completely closed and not easy to be attacked, the number of people using it is decreasing.

For ordinary people, which hacker would attack their mobile phones in leisure? Besides, mobile phones can also be anti-virus now, and it is not complicated.

BlackBerry's old-fashioned full-keyboard design is not welcomed by consumers at all. Many young people even say that only old men are willing to use BlackBerry. They want to use a touch screen, which is a smart phone.

Some other small smartphone manufacturers are also in decline. Because they don't have so many sales, they lack profits, and they don't have the energy to develop more useful software, they can't upgrade the system, they can't upgrade the hardware better, and they don't even have the money to advertise.

BlackBerry developers thought that email was the most commonly used function of a smartphone, and everything else was crap. Therefore, the full keyboard is more suitable for inputting email addresses, and is more suitable for application on smart phones.

As for the small screen, they have worked hard to make it bigger, which has also caused their mobile phones to become wider and larger, which is completely unsuitable for women.

But it also allows them to use a larger battery, allowing their phones to last longer.

However, HTC, which also designed a full keyboard before, has already made changes. Among Nokia's smart phones, the touch screen design sells better.

Apple is making a touchscreen smartphone.

It also imitates the mode of Zhiduoxing and launches a software download mode. It's a pity that their software is priced too high, and many functions are not as practical as Zhiduoxing's, mainly because their development costs are high, and they are first-generation products.

Many mobile phone applications of Zhiduoxing have been updated to the fourth generation, and there have been many changes. And because of the large number of users and high download volume, the pricing can be much cheaper, and you can still make money.

Zhiduoxing can make money through software, but Apple cannot do this. Their hardware does not make money, and their software does not make money. The initial investment is not low.

I heard that AT\u0026amp;T is now in a lawsuit with Apple, demanding that Apple make compensation in accordance with the contract. The most important point is that Apple lowered the price of mobile phones, leaving AT\u0026amp;T with no profit.

In the early stage of research and development, AT\u0026amp;T could invest hundreds of millions of dollars, thinking that in the later stage, it could rely on the sales of Apple mobile phones to get a huge return.

I don't know that Apple mobile phones are not only unsalable, but also frankly not profitable. Apple can use software to make up some losses, while AT\u0026amp;T is completely at a loss.

This lawsuit made Zhang Yang very happy. The two companies that cooperated closely in the previous life broke up like this. Without the support of AT\u0026amp;T in the previous life, the Apple mobile phone would never be successful, nor would it be popular, and even the technology would not be perfected so quickly.

Now this is more proof that maybe the iPhone is about to become a flash in the pan and disappear soon.

As for other smartphone operating systems, they are also on the decline. The most fundamental reason is that the three major systems of Symbian, Zhiduoxing and Microsoft have increased their publicity.

The three companies are not short of money, Microsoft is rich and powerful, and Zhiduoxing is also a large enterprise with an annual net profit close to tens of billions of dollars. Although Nokia's annual profit is less than US$5 billion, it is the leader in the mobile phone industry and its brand value is extremely high.

The three companies burned money, and the others that couldn't afford it were "relatively" ignored.

The market will soon become two grades, one is Symbian, Zhiduoxing and Microsoft, and the other is Blackberry, Apple, PALM and other systems.

BlackBerry, which once had a bright future in the smartphone market, is about to fall to the second-tier market. This decline cannot be stopped. This is the disadvantage of a closed system.

Even Microsoft is sure to widen the gap with BlackBerry this year, which shows how fast BlackBerry is declining.

Now some mobile phone chat software can already transfer files, which means that you no longer have to log in to your e-mail to send and receive files.

This also makes BlackBerry's most powerful advantage come to naught, and the decline is unstoppable.

If BlackBerry is willing to license the system to other manufacturers at this time, and if it is willing to use touch screens to launch mobile phones, and is not obsessed with full keyboards, it may still have a chance, but BlackBerry insists on the original "classic" design, which is killing itself.

At the beginning of March, Chen Mingyong reported on the sales of mobile phones for this month. Sure enough, Blackberry dropped extremely fast, and so did Apple's mobile phones.

There is also a very rapid decline, which everyone did not expect, that is, Motorola, which was once the best in the industry, has a monthly sales volume of less than 10 million units.

The first quarter has always been the peak season for mobile phone sales. Last year's old models were sold at a discount, merchants cut prices to clear inventory, and major manufacturers are also preparing for new products.

The monthly sales of Zhiduoxing mobile phones exceeded 20 million units, while that of Nokia reached 30 million units, and even Samsung reached 17 million units.

The gap between the top three manufacturers in the industry and the latter manufacturers is rapidly widening.
