The competition in the tablet PC market is intensifying, and more manufacturers have joined it. There are already 16 brands and 20 products appearing, but there are no Nokia tablets and Intel tablets that were very popular before.

The Meego system jointly developed by the two companies has not been declared successful until now. Samsung also announced that it has jointly developed a system with China's Huawei, but it has not said anything about when it will be applied and what products it will be applied on.

Intel announced the development of tablet-based CPUs and motherboards, but there has been no movement for such a long time. This has made ARM company flourish, but they have received a lot of orders.

Of course, more orders are still from Chaowei Eagle Weida. Their products are more mature. No quality and design defects have been found so far, and their performance has been improving.

At this time, Nokia suddenly announced that their new smartphone equipped with the Meego system will be launched soon, named N9.

The appearance of the new mobile phone is very tough, the borders are relatively straight, and the corners are not softened. The operation interface is also different from that of Symbian. All applications are on the main interface, and the interface can be slid up and down.

After this product was announced, many media asked, is Nokia going to replace the Saipan system with the Meego system? Will there be new smartphones with Saipan system in the future?

Nokia immediately explained that we are not abandoning the Symbian system, but providing consumers with more choices. At the same time, consumers are not limited to a certain product system of a certain manufacturer, because this is an open source system.

This made other colleagues understand that this Meego system is clearly in the arena with Zhi Duoxing, and it seems that it hopes to disintegrate Zhi Duoxing's system camp.

It is a pity that the two manufacturers did not win more support before, and many colleagues are still waiting to see. They have to see that this product has enough advantages before they choose to jump to join. Otherwise, why not stay on a platform that has been developed for a long time?

Zhang Yang and the others had expected that Nokia and Intel meant this, but he was not worried. If Zhiduoxing is now supported by more than 100 mainstream manufacturer allies, and can still be defeated by Nokia and Intel, then they will not have the current industry share, at least the share that Microsoft has in the PC system.

In fact, in addition to the operating system, Microsoft's other products are also declining. Including browsers, instant messaging software, office software, etc., there are many competitors, and some products have even surpassed Microsoft.

If there is no anti-monopoly law, relying on the incompatibility of the system, Microsoft can make other similar products disappear.

The share of Microsoft's mobile phone operating system is also declining, because the two major manufacturers that exclusively support their systems, Motorola and Soai, are declining. Last year, the share of the two manufacturers in the smartphone market was not much higher than that of Wanyan.

And this year, manufacturers such as Samsung and others have launched new smartphones, but all of them are based on the Zhiduoxing system, and none of them is a Microsoft system.

Suoai and Motorola insisted on the Microsoft system, but the products sold poorly. Motorola, in particular, is still crazily competing with BlackBerry in the North American market, but neglecting other regions.

The same is true for Blackberry. In order to keep the base camp unchanged, the Chinese market they just opened up is basically silent. In the Chinese market in the first quarter, the total sales volume did not exceed 100,000 units, and they couldn't even earn money for the Sinicization of a system, let alone other expenses. It was clearly a blood loss.

The fastest rising mobile phone manufacturers this year are Zhiduoxing, Lianxiang and Wanyan.

Samsung's growth can only rank fourth, and HTC ranks fifth.

These five mobile phone manufacturers saw a significant increase in sales in the first quarter, while others, such as Nokia, LG, Soai, Motorola, BenQ, and BlackBerry, were all declining.

Smartphones, especially cheap smartphones, are products that mainly increase the sales of mobile phones such as Zhiduoxing. The sales of feature phones continued to decline. Some mobile phones with gray screens could no longer be sold, and cheap feature phones with monochrome screens basically couldn’t be sold anymore. All cheap feature phones now have color screens.

It is precisely because the smart phones with the smart multi-star system that have risen the fastest have put tremendous pressure on Nokia. Last year, their smartphones were divided according to the system. In terms of shipments, Symbian only accounted for 38%. It is thirty-seven percent, and the gap between the two sides is very small.

In the first quarter of this year, the smartphones of the Zhiduoxing system completed the overtake, and Nokia is in a hurry. As for Microsoft systems and BlackBerry systems, the decline is even faster.

Soon, this N9 went on the market, and Zhiduoxing also bought a few prototypes for testing. But after the test, they were relieved.

This Meego system is not as easy to use as the Symbian system, and the number of application software is very small, and many functions are not complete. What about smart phones?

And the price of this mobile phone is more than one thousand dollars. As a result, not many people are willing to buy it, and even few retailers are willing to buy it.

And Nokia and Intel are frantically wooing software manufacturers, but they all failed. Those manufacturers are not willing to join at all, and you have no sales. How can my software make money?

On the Zhiduoxing system platform, we can sell tens of millions of copies of software, or even more. On your Meego system platform, if you sell less than 100,000 copies, it is not a loss.

However, this phone still has many bright spots, such as the cancellation of buttons, the control interface, software, etc. by sliding up and down, left and right, single-click, double-click, etc., and card-style multi-tasking management, which is also done well.

It's a pity that these are already available on the Zhiduoxing X4, which makes everyone feel that Nokia is imitating Zhiduoxing.

The shell adopts new materials, the whole body is designed without gaps, and it is drop-resistant, waterproof, and dustproof.

There is also Nokia's consistent power, and it uses a Carl Zeiss lens, which looks good.

But the lack of support from software manufacturers makes this phone look awkward. As a result, something even more embarrassing happened soon.

One week after the launch of the N9, Nokia announced that it would no longer update the system, and would no longer develop application software based on the system, and it would lay off a large number of employees in the business department of the Meego system.

This confusing operation made consumers who originally planned to buy N9 back off instantly. Many people don't understand that after spending so much money before and just developing a product, should they give up?

But after the news was announced, Zhi Duoxing was very indifferent. When they had a meeting before, the chairman asserted that this product would be abandoned, and the Meego system would also be abandoned.

It's only been a week, and the chairman's prediction has come true!
