TSIBIZ.com : Android is no longer mobile open source OS

Since 2011, Google acquired Motorola, the mobile phone manufacturers are start to worry about whether Google branched out into hardware manufacturer or authorized to change the Android, Samsung, HTC and other manufacturers began to look for or to develop another set of open source OS. According to sources, the 2013 will have a variety of phone equipped with a new open-source OS introduced to the market, currently known of the new OS, Ubuntu, Firefox OS, Tizen, Android is no longer the only player of the phone open source OS.

(A) The new open-source OS will be starting first low-end market

The new OS development compared to Android later many services, applications and functions will be rather less, is expected to start on the lower end of the market starting. Android execution speed and efficiency often others criticized, especially in the low-end phones, this phenomenon is more obvious, Firefox OS with Ubuntu all emphasize the speed and efficiency of the system running, the speed is very smooth even on low-end phones, the principle of starting the new OS from the lower end of the market has been very clear, the future system is more mature, and then transferred to the development of the high-end mobile phones.

(B) With the development of cross-platform, Android may no longer dominant

The built-in applications in the application of the start of the new OS will be far less than Android, but if compared to the complete price advantages and may be able to occupy a portion of the market share in its infancy. The new OS all emphasize applications to HTML5 web technology development, now it seems HTML5 has become the web of a unified standard for the future, web technology development and application developers can easily convert to a different platform to use, this approach can increase the developers on the platform on development will, and a new open-source OS with Android Linux as its kernel, the future, once the ACL (Application Compatibility Layer) related development with the launch of API, developers can quite easily the Android App modify to the new OS run its App pace of development will be more rapid. The promotion of mobile phone operators, once the ecosphere successfully established on the battlefield of mobile open source OS, Android will not be dominant.

Changes in the PC industry, under the keyboard, the new changes

1.Keyboard will be due to changes in the structure to thin

Features as the product began to pursue the light, thin, the keyboard will also move towards the light direction, the original mechanical keyboard, it will take a lower thickness design in a thin and light products, rather than the traditional need to occupy more space Scissor design. The other hand, the capacitive keyboard will also be suitable for use in mobile devices keyboard.

To compare the two kinds of keyboard, capacitive keyboard will undoubtedly come than the mechanical thinner and lighter, but on the feeling in the input, but slightly lost to mechanical physical design, so the the capacitive keyboard use, will be focused on those original mobile device has no keyboard, for example, above the Tablet or smart phone, which will be able to provide consumers do not need to sacrifice screen will be able to input. For these mobile devices have a physical keyboard, it can be extended in a word processing or other functions to develop a large number of text input, so that the function of these mobile devices to widen again.

Mechanical thin keyboard is used mainly in NB, Ultrabook products, and these products because of design improvements can save more space out of the use of these computer products can be released through these extra space, increased battery capacity, cooling improvement changes to create a performance Tablet different value specialty products, and does not result in product volume therefore rise. Especially through the Tablet so capacitive keyboard strengthen word processing features will make the Tablet Original Computer Products boundaries more blurred, NB have to strengthen its product segmentation exist, otherwise they will be tended to with.

2. Degree of pressure on the keyboard sensor development

Addition to the talk keyboard thinness, in fact, the development of the keyboard, and one may be noted that the gist of, that is, the keyboard can for varying degrees of pressure to identify induction. For the the original keyboard each key only “yes” or “no” choice, with the degree of pressure sensing keyboard allows several combinations of options, more keyboard changes.

As for on purpose, there may be many different development, perhaps during the game software, through the keyboard efforts to make different actions or influence; perhaps in writing essays, you can directly beat article instead of through a switch to change The case of the text; or there are more functions and applications exist. In any case, such a design can be keyboard input, pulled from the original binary yuan. Just must be noted that such a design on the keyboard after the actual use, whether it might bring users accustomed or inconvenience, when the pressing force is difficult to distinguish, for example, will result in the actual input and the user thought gap, or the other inconveniences achievements backwards, perhaps between the boundaries of the various pressure Jia Ruka tenon or other ways to solve the problem, whether the end result can be accepted by consumers, have to end to see how manufacturers design.
