In the computer age, Wintel has monopolized for more than 20 years. Although the Chinese government has vigorously supported Loongson and Linux, it still cannot shake Wintel’s rule. Now the era of smart phones and information terminals is coming. With the development of the hardware industry, especially the mainland’s microelectronics industry, Although there is still a gap with overseas competitors in the fields of mobile phone application processors and basebands, we already have a certain basis for competition. It is believed that the world will see the progress of the mainland microelectronics industry in the next 10 years. On the other hand, the operating system is the first of Symbian and the rise of iPhone. In the past two years, Android has sprung up, Windows Phone 7 and the unreleased Meego have been wave after wave. So far, few mainland companies have made any moves. Once the competitive landscape is determined, it is believed that China will completely lose this market in the next 20 years.

Google’s switch to Android seems to be accidental. In fact, from the launch of google Map to video applications, it is also very natural to face the mobile Internet wave to switch to Android. It looks like an open source and free operating system. In fact, Google has already controlled the most core links. Open source also attracts software and hardware manufacturers from all over the world to work for themselves. On the other hand, Baidu has launched a Baidu input method. If iPhone users want to use it, they must escape from prison. It should be said that Chinese companies are completely behind in the development concept of software and Internet companies. Western competitors, when Apple launched iPAD, it was difficult for Apple itself to be confident that it would become popular. It prepared Macbook Air in advance to prepare for emergency. Because of the exceptional popularity of iPAD, the Macbook Air, which was supposed to be released in May, was postponed to October. The popularity of iPAD in mainland China is closely related to the promotion of Chinese Internet companies and the media. The reason why many iPAD users often use it is because the mainland video company provides a large amount of video content in a short period of time. If these video content are not available I believe that many iPAD buyers have put it on the shelf. The service consciousness of mainland companies is worthy of appreciation. However, the lack of innovative practices may lead to the fact that Chinese companies will continue to be a follower in the next 20 years and cannot be changed.

There is no difference in hardware for iPhone, Android Phone, or even WP 7 Phone. Even all hardware companies in mainland China can design and process, and the main chips such as AP and baseband can also be provided in mainland China. Even if there is a slight gap in technology, it has already begun to take shape. In Apple’s chip suppliers, mainland IC companies have also begun to appear. In contrast to the operating system, it has been difficult to make breakthroughs. China has Baidu, the world’s largest search user that competes with Google, and Huawei, the world’s second-ranked telecommunications equipment supplier. There are also Lenovo, which ranks fourth in computers, and Tencent, the website with the largest number of Internet users, but its inability to take a share in the most dynamic and monopolistic operating system field of mobile terminals in the future has to be said to be China’s regret, and it may also lead to In the next 20 years, China will be at a disadvantage in global competition. Such a pattern is worrying and worthy of the industry’s attention.

Regardless of the government-supported red flag and other operating systems, in fact, Chinese companies were also very fond of operating systems. Businesslink once set foot in it a few years ago and sold it to application processor provider Zhiduowei after the investment was fruitless. It is said that Zhiduowei’s philosophy was not wrong at the time, and it is even somewhat similar to Apple’s current model. Unfortunately, the business model is one thing, and its own strength and environment are another. The development of the operating system has not only failed Zhiduowei to reach another peak. , The heavy burden has caused itself to fall into the abyss. In the past two years, Lenovo also spent huge sums of money and manpower into the development of mobile phone operating systems. With the rise of Android, it is said that it has given up years of accumulation and turned to Android. It is a pity to think about it now. (Old Yao)
