Rewrite the Technological Landscape

This year's Google I/O is also the first, and Eric gave an emotional opening speech. After all, this year is the tenth year of Google's establishment.

As a company founded in 1998, its market value has exceeded 200 billion yuan in ten years. It is also a terrible thing to develop to this point, and it is in the case that classic products such as Android and Google Chrome have not yet exploded. It can be said that Google is the darling of Silicon Valley investors in recent years, and it is the company whose stock price rose the most in Silicon Valley in 2007. There are even some people who call Google the myth of Silicon Valley in the post-Internet era.

2,500 people were convened for the conference. Although the scale is far less than that of Dafeng Group, the attention is still very high.

The theme of the first Google I/O is still Android, Google Maps API and Bionic Libc database.

Google Maps API is a programming API launched by Google itself, which allows programmers all over the world who are interested in Google Maps to develop services based on Google Maps and build their own map websites.

Google Maps has been well received since its launch in 2005 and is a very successful product of Google.

Meng Qian sat in front of the computer and watched Google's conference, and what he was most concerned about was whether the Android system had changed in this life.

As a result, it has changed.

Android was approved by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States in advance, and because of this, the upgrade of the Android system was advanced, and the arrival of the world's first Android phone was also advanced.

At the conference site, Google introduced the upgraded Android 1.5 system. One of the highlights is that Android does not use glibc as the C library, but uses Bionic Lib developed by Google itself. At the same time, Android 1.5 adds support for on-screen virtual keyboards , so that Android phones can also be entered in the virtual keyboard on the screen, coupled with the support for more languages, Google's ambitions can be seen.

After introducing the system, Google immediately released the world's first Android phone, T-mobile G1.

T-mobile G1 is the world's first Android phone customized by American operator T-Mobile USA and manufactured by HTC. In China, T-mobile G1 is generally called HTC G1.

Eric explained this phone, "T-mobile G1 uses a side-sliding design with a hidden full keyboard. The special feature of this phone's side-sliding cover keyboard is that only the upper half of the screen can be pushed out. The entire upper cover of other sliding cover mobile phones is not pushed out in the same way. When the upper cover is pushed out, there will be an arc-shaped trajectory, instead of being pushed out straight.

The keyboard has a total of five rows, and there are quite a lot of shortcut keys preset, which can be used globally or exclusively in the browser and information interface, and can be used smoothly. Of course, although T-mobile G1 has a keyboard, it also supports touch operation.

In terms of configuration, T-mobile G1 is equipped with a Qualcomm 7201 processor with a main frequency of 528MHz. The front of the fuselage is equipped with a 3.17-inch touch screen with a resolution of 480×320 pixels. The memory is 192MB RAM+256MB ROM, and the maximum storage capacity is 8G card, and T-mobile G1 supports 3G network. "

These days, other mobile phones can basically expand their storage space by themselves, except for Hongmeng mobile phones and Apple mobile phones.

But Eric didn't say the price, this is HTC's business, and finally HTC's price is 2700 soft sister coins.

After the on-site applause, Eric began to move on to the next topic, "In order to further promote the development of the Android system, the Open Handset Alliance has added 66 members. They are Huaxia Telecom, China Unicom, MediaTek, Asus, and Acer. So far, open The Mobile Alliance has grown to 150 members.

At the same time, we will provide more technical support for global developers on the basis of open source. "

After Eric finished speaking, he began to show Google's various development tools and development materials on the Android platform, and repeatedly emphasized the openness of Android, and the fact that all revenue from Android applications goes to developers and many other benefits.

Compared with IOS and Hongmeng, the openness of Android is indeed more friendly to developers. Coupled with the display of mobile phones released in advance, many people have a lot of expectations for Android, after all, Android's positioning is more comprehensive.

In the end, Google also did a very generous thing at the conference site. Every participant was given a T-mobile G1, so that everyone can feel the experience when they go back.

Although this approach does not seem to have much positive effect, because after everyone felt it, they found that both the mobile phone and the system were beaten by Hongmeng.

However, Google immediately started public relations. Hongmeng 1 also has many problems. You have to give Android a time to grow. Everyone thinks it makes sense. Besides, open source is indeed more convenient for developers. More and more people are starting to study Android. This system, in just a few days, the Open Handset Alliance has received a large number of inquiries.

The establishment of the Android ecosystem has begun.

After the conference, seeing that the overall market response was good, Eric immediately contacted a person, and that was Yoon Jong-yong of Samsung Electronics. Google finally decided not to make mobile phones for the time being, so they need to find a mobile phone manufacturer for in-depth cooperation to promote the development of the Android system.

At present, Google has a good relationship with HTC, but Google finally chose to put Samsung first. In fact, from the results of the previous life, Google's judgment is not wrong.

Samsung is also very interested, mainly because Samsung has no status in the Symbian Alliance, and Google has given Samsung a lot of room for manipulation and alliance status, and Samsung thinks it is an opportunity.

So the two hit it off, and Samsung will vigorously develop Android-based mobile phones. Of course, HTC will also pay attention to Android.

After laying out all this, Eric was full of expectations for the Android system. He also held a celebration banquet on April 30 and got drunk.

Waking up in a daze the next day, as soon as he arrived at the company, Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, hurried to Eric's office, "Eric, there is movement from Huaxia."

"Huaxia? What's going on over there?"

"Four companies in Huaxia suddenly released a joint mobile phone conference."

"Which four companies?"

"ZTE, Huawei, Coolpad, Meizu."

Eric's head was still a little dizzy, "It's just four mobile phone brands, it's not a big deal."

Andy said with an uneasy expression, "If the four mobile phone brands are really nothing, the problem is that under this joint press conference, there is a brand new mobile phone system!"

"Mobile phone system? Hongmeng?" Eric's first reaction was naturally Hongmeng, and he didn't realize that Andy was talking about a brand new mobile phone system.

"It's not Hongmeng."

Only then did Eric come to his senses, "The Dafeng Group has developed another mobile phone system?!"

"No, this system was not developed by Dafeng Group."

"Not Dafeng Group?" Eric was stunned for a while, he couldn't think of any other company besides Dafeng Group Huaxia that would develop a brand new mobile phone system, "Who is that?"

Andy put the materials in his hand in front of Eric, "You can say it or it."

Eric looked at the information in front of him and his pupils slowly shrank, "Andy, I have an inexplicable anxiety."
