Chapter 339 The Status Quo of Mobile Games and Andy's Persistence

In 1994, the first mobile game "Tetris" in history was born, but this incident did not attract enough attention from the giant Nintendo at that time.

The development of mobile phones in the following years was very rapid: in 1997, Nokia launched the 611o mobile phone with built-in "Snake", and in 1998, Siemens launched the world's first color screen mobile phone s1o. By the time of 1998-2oo3, pda mobile phones had quietly emerged.

Microsoft's m system, pa1m system. At the same time, some ordinary mobile phones have also developed intelligent systems in order to make breakthroughs, such as Nokia's Symbian, RIm's BlackBerry and other systems. Such mobile phones are gradually being collectively referred to as "smart phones".

The mobile phone of this pseudo-intelligence program can only rely on the Java program to install some Java software or games. Such as Java reading, Java version of Prince of Persia, rally cars, etc.

From 1994 to 2006, mobile phones exhibited smartphones with performance comparable to Sony PS home game consoles, such as the n-gage launched by Nokia in 2003, and the follow-up model n-gageQd launched a year later. It is a mobile phone that is similar to a handheld. Presumably many people still have an impression, or still keep it at home.

At this time, mobile games have blossomed everywhere. Picture quality is also between gBa and psp. But because there is no unified store, the quality and sales of mobile games are still far from being able to compete with Nintendo's Boy series.

In addition to smart phones, there are also many large-scale handheld devices that are also trying to enter the handheld market. This type of handheld generally cannot make calls, but it has functions far beyond gBa. In fact, the pda is covered with a layer of cross keys and aB keys.

For example, the handheld phone with the Tapapa1m operating system sold in 2003. This handheld phone cannot make calls, it is a multimedia handheld phone similar to psp. Its final sales volume was 200,000 units.

Shanda of the Rabbit Country also launched a handheld in 2006, and the game sold at the same time is the famous "Legend". Earn a fortune in the palm of your hand. It's a pity that in 2006, the Internet foundation of the Rabbit Country was immature, and it was not popular to play online games on the palm at that time. Soon this handheld also withdrew from the market.

In 2004, the two enemies who had fought the most fiercely in the history of handheld devices, nds and psp, started a tearing war.

psp is like a mini version of ps2. It has traditional core masterpieces such as "God of War", "Monster Hunter P3", "Ridge Racer", "Metal Gear and Parallel", "Second Robot War Z". Of course, psp can also perfectly run ps games, which can be regarded as moving an era to the palm of your hand.

Andy knows that people now generally think that mobile phones are used for making calls and text messages, mobile games are just a gimmick, and PDAs usually cost more than one, two thousand or even three thousand. So if you want to play real handheld games, you still have to buy a handheld.

Therefore, he is now saying that he wants to open a mobile game that has been beaten by the handheld, and he can't find Beibei's mobile game. It is a ghost that Blair and other management can agree.

And to be honest, many people are very dismissive of the smart phone era advocated by Andy. It is not a joke. Even Jobs does not understand why this young man has more confidence than him.

This is not an exaggeration at all. In the face of thousands of games and software applications that match the systems developed by Microsoft and Nokia, to be honest, Ai Crazy, which can only support music playback, really has no advantage.

Apple and Jobs really wanted to consolidate the position of the ipod at the beginning, and at the same time, they opened this mobile phone for the purpose of making trouble for Microsoft and Nokia.

Andy knows that Apple's icrazy mobile phone will be successful in the future, and almost wiped out all the traditional mobile phone giants, but now he says that no one will believe him.

Jobs was named a god because of the success of Love Crazy, but some time ago, after the press conference of Love Crazy 1, Microsoft laughed, and Nokia also laughed. from their perspective,

Apple's launch of this product is undoubtedly an act of suicide. You know, Apple has been losing money for several years because of its early years of fighting with Microsoft for home computer platform systems. At this time, instead of working hard to make achievements in the home computer system, but to make some ipod mobile phones, it is really brain-dead + neuropathy.

This is the reality in 2007, no exaggeration, no belittle anyone, Jobs proved to be great afterwards, of course, that was his success.

But now, the only charge forward, Andy Smith, who has great confidence in smartphones, has all kinds of advocacy in the media. For Nokia and Microsoft, this inconspicuous kid is like a clown.

As a time traveler, he has the eyes to see the future, but at the same time, he also has to bear the pain and depression that others cannot understand. Andy also knows how some technology newspapers are making fun of him, and how various IT bosses are laughing at his little kid. Of course, what disappointed him most was the silence and lack of confidence from Jobs and Apple.

Andy knew that Ai Crazy was a little black horse that turned out to be out of nowhere, and it came to this world in a hurry. It had a birthmark of a rotten apple on its back, and a few English letters were written on it—iphone.

In fact, this is also good, at least Andy Smith has taken away too much of the limelight and halo from Jobs, because after Apple's success, everyone will remember who they were swollen in the face, and Andy Smith and Jobs may be Bundled is constantly appearing in various reports, leading this era.

Andy's excellence and forward-looking vision will give him a great voice in the future. This is the most important point that he doesn't care about being ridiculed and still insists that the era of real smartphones has arrived.

In the meeting room, Andy put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood alone in front of the window, watching the afterglow of the setting sun, his eyes slightly squinted, and he didn't know where his thoughts went.

The meeting had been broken up a long time ago. The planning of the mobile game "Fruit Swordsman" set up a project team under his ducai, and the whole company could only accept the big boss's decision. Blair tried to persuade him again, but Andy's attitude was very firm .

Andy will not do anything stupid to be the pioneer of the king, he will not fail, the future of mobile games is extremely bright. What he thinks now is not just about mobile games.

Some people may ask, why not make mobile phones? Apple is just getting started, why not do it yourself?

However, thinking of the old fox he was facing and Jobs, who was famous for being greedy and stingy, he really didn't have much confidence in being able to snatch this piece of meat from him, and what Jobs liked most was domineering monopoly of the market, maximizing profits, and betraying The partner basically does not have any psychological pressure on him.

Jobs was a genius, no doubt about it, but he was notoriously bad and notoriously difficult to get along with.

Boom.

Andy heard the knock on the door, but didn't look back, still looking out the window.

"Boss, just now..."

Andy raised his arm to stop Blair from continuing, "You just did what you thought you should do, it's nothing, is there something wrong?"

Blair finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the meeting just ended, the boss has been staying in the meeting room. He thought the boss was angry because everyone did not support the mobile game project. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.

"The team members, equipment and venue for "Fruit Swordsman" have been taken care of."

Andy turned his head to look at him, nodded and asked, "Call Apple to make an appointment and say that I want to meet Jobs to discuss a business deal. I think he will meet me. After all, I have already called him." Hello, he must also want to meet me!"

"Is it because of the Ios system? I think they will welcome them very much if we add game applications to his system. They should give us the Ios system to use in advance. After all, we should be the first software application based on this mobile system. "Blair knows that he can't change the boss's decision, so he needs to change his mind and try his best to do his job as an executive.

"They will give us the Ios system in advance, but this is not what I want. Hey, it's a headache. Jobs is such a headache character!" Andy said with a wry smile. Intention, Jobs will definitely see the value in it, whether he will get rid of himself and do it alone, it depends on whether he has confidence in his Apple icrazy mobile phone.
