Beijing May 11, according to foreign media reports, in addition to Android smart phones and tablet computers, Google wants Android software on the user's life can play a greater role. This week, held in San Francisco's Moscone West Center in 2011 I / O Worldwide Developer Conference, Google introduced a remote control called the Android @ Home technology.
Google launched a new application Android This technology will be built in appliances or light bulbs, let the user equipment through Android short-range remote control for home appliances or light bulbs, it works with the phone similar to the wireless Bluetooth headset. The future, users will be able to use the Android phone on the home lighting system, dishwasher, automatic fire sprinkler system or even that they want to make short-range wireless control of all home appliances remote control command.
The Android software supported by the smart home concept is still in experimental stages of the system, other technology companies have also been several attempts to this idea, but have little effect. However, a manufacturer of lighting called LightingScience end of the year will be available to support Android control of LED bulbs. If it is too lazy to get out of bed to turn off the lights before going to bed, then the user can later be turned off by remote control android devices such lights out.
Google Android project leader Andy - Rubin (Andy Rubin), said in an interview: "We will try to Android software applications to the user among all the daily necessities. We will Android software into new areas."
Google also introduced the Open Accessory open source components, the accessory interface allows manufacturers to develop according to API interfaces for peripheral equipment Android game, but game developers can design according to API interface for the product. This allows external programmers to develop the hardware device with Google Android Accessibility links. After the Android-centric devices will be the central node of electronic devices and controllers.
Developed from outside programmers to develop software and hardware compatibility problems have long been among the solution, but it has been the lack of a simple and consistent implementation of standards. Google engineering director Hiroshi Lockheimer said in an interview: "The open source components will be a Google Android application and other peripherals for effective implementation of standards-compliant."
IPad2 listed, products noticeably frivolous, more significant changes that are cheaper than generation 300 yuan.
This for tablet PC follow-up, who is undoubtedly a bigger challenge.
Apple also how the product upgrades, do cut the price?
The latest issue of American editor of the Atlantic monthly Derek Thompson in the latest in a column of figures, apple quoted price advantage, fetch the raw material and labor costs in China plays a key role. Derek Thompson says, American December 2010 manufacturing, and mining industry, construction for the average hourly wage of $32.53, Chinese workers average ? $185. He through data analysis that, if iPad2 production in the U.S. than in China, which will make your out $415.
A iPad2 32GB Wifi + 3G version of the current price of $729 if placed in the United States, per unit production, apple will maintain the same profit, price more than $1,100.
According to this calculation, China's low-cost manufacturing costs, for apple price advantage, occupying provides an important safeguard.
Of course, China manufacturing environment, for apple's competitors is open. Samsung and HTC, MOTOROLA, lenovo, with Google's operating system, also frequently to apple launched onslaught. Once this kind of attack made substantial progress, I believe, queuing, even beaten buy apple products phenomenon, won't appear again.
