Android Open Source Brings Uncertainties And More Security Problems

Android open source

Google gives Android features for open source and free, Android creates a myth. The appeal of Google is also a factor for the success, of course.

Everything can’t be perfect, open source and free access to the advantages, but also exposed a number of problems.

Added factors of instability

I think it’s not just Android issue, any open source projects, if you allow others to develop again, so no doubt will increase instability, rise in the chance of error. Just like, an engineering team built a tall building, and then a second works team built more 10 layers on the original building, if the second queue of people not familiar with this tall building, then stamped floors may cause the building to collapse.

This may happen on the Android, because any manufacturer can use Android on their mobile phone, when they added new features or modified existing features, it may not be guaranteed Android without errors.

For Samsung, HTC these well-known manufacturers, we believe that they will give the user a good Android phones. For small and medium handset makers and they have no idea to do a lot of testing for their Android phones(these are both expense and cost), so their mobile phone testing is completed by the general consumer.

More security risks

In a survey in a mobile system security, Android is considered to be the least secure. Android’s highest market share is one of the main causes, when large numbers of developers poured into Android development platform, somebody will decompile others program and implanted virus.

While the Android open source provide a number of “help” to them, maybe Android development manual says “look, my weakness is here! “.

Nokia Will Be Bankrupt If They Choose Android

Nokia Needs To Choose

When Nokia cannot prevent Android, Nokia had faced a number of choices. In the case of non-smartphone market gradually shrunk, if they cannot stand in the Smartphone world, Nokia has no future.

Select Android?

A few years ago, Nokia focused on their Symbian system, and had taken many measures to create better development environment for Symbian until they found that Android still engulfed the Symbian’s market share, it is perhaps the moment Nokia to make a selection!

Select Android? Perhaps no one can explain why Nokia does not choose Android, speaking from the length of time available for Android phones, if Nokia will now switch to Android, will also be Samsung shook, because Samsung was a member of the Android camp a few years ago.

Even Nokia choose Android at this point, also may not be able to regain the boss’s place, and sustained losses may have crushed Nokia.

Directed to Windows Phone

In the face of loss, turn Windows Phone temporarily alleviate the pressure of Nokia. Microsoft has provided billions of dollars of support to Nokia, this amount may not be large, but at least it can guarantee Nokia mitigate negative impact of losses.

Current Nokia CEO Elop, background of Microsoft, the company sustained losses, take measures to concentrate on Windows Phone, let people interpret him as “007” sent by the Microsoft. In fact, even one CEO has no relation to Microsoft, in the face of this difficult choice, switch to Windows Phone is understandable. (Of course, I cannot be denied, Microsoft’s PR Department is easier to talk to he.)

If Microsoft hopes to buy Nokia, will not now

When Google wanted to buy Motorola, is looking for a good time and a good reason, fear that attracted the attention of mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp.

This same goes for Microsoft, because the acquisition of Nokia, will affect other mobile phone manufacturers joined the ranks of Windows Phone, because Microsoft will produce better Windows Phone, leading to unfair.

Microsoft: “I Have No Partiality”, Meaning Of Samsung To Publish WP8 First

Exclusive sales rights and first publication is not the same

Some time before, I has seen Microsoft in order to “comfort” Nokia (because the issue of Lumia series upgraded to WP8), and promised to give Nokia a month at the WP8 exclusivity, which is now in September.

But this promise was not involved in the publication, there is no strange Samsung released its WP8 Ativ S (because he can do), Samsung has already released their WP8 phone messages to the world.

But Samsung can’t sale Ativ S before Nokia.

Do not allow users to try?

I think Samsung should be issued and communicated by Microsoft, at the press conference was not allowed you to use Ativ S.

This fact is also very simple, if the launch of Samsung has introduced WP8 finished, on September 5, what can Microsoft and Nokia to tell you?

Microsoft very happy

It is clear that Microsoft think this announcement is very good, at least you can feel WP8 is hot.

Also, you can make more manufacturers feel Microsoft will not be partial to Nokia.

Flash Has Fallen, Whether HTML5 Can Bring Changes

Distressing thing

In the areas of mobile development, I’m afraid the most distressing thing of developer is your application cannot be run on all mobile platforms. If you want to run in the iOS, Android, Windows Phone, you may need to use a different SDK to compile your application.

This requires developers spend a lot of time rewriting and debugging application again, but only in order to be run on multiple mobile platforms, rather than creating new applications.

Flash has fallen

Adobe declared that they would not develop Flash plug-in for mobile. There might be a mature solution, now completely dashed.

If Adobe continue to support Flash on the mobile, only need the mobile platforms support the Adobe plug-in, then existing Flash game can easily run on mobile devices.

Furthermore, Apple does not agree with the Flash plug-in to run on the iPhone, Microsoft has its own SL, so there’s no hope that Flash into the mobile arena.

HTML5 can play great?

Now, of course, that question was not clear, but as a developer must hope that writing code one time.

Cause of HTML5 is to reduce the reliance on browser plugins, capabilities of the browser itself needs to provide more support for HTML5, the browser should allow developers to draw images, play media, has a local database.

If all major browsers support HTML5, and there is no difference, HTML5 is a good choice. You just need to write an HTML5 game on the line, each mobile device can see the same effect.

Worried things

The computer of page designer always installed various browsers, because the page is always slightly different, but a little bit of difference will let you have had to work overtime.

Just more $20, Facebook dig big hole in stocks

Facebook shares fall again

Recent news of Facebook stock must be everyone’s concern, in particular friends has been purchased or ready to buy shares of Facebook.

Starting from $ 30 to $ 19 now, Facebook has let everyone sit roller coaster.

Facebook shares down is normal

Facebook down is returning to normal, this only means in fact Facebook stock worth less than $30.

At the time of the previous year, Goldman has lobbied King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in all of 150 billion dollar buyout Facebook stock (it’s like some advanced shops, shopping guide to recommend you one 1000$ clothes, would you buy it? Do you think this dress is gold or diamonds?)

But the King and the people around him in after seeing the Facebook’s balance sheet, believes that Facebook is not worth even 1 billion.

Facebook is a tool of the underwriter

Facebook as an Internet company has also been included Goldman’s destinations, they only need to raise its market valuation of Facebook, finally found some buyers do not know the truth (for example, the King of Saudi Arabia).

Before listed on the Facebook, Goldman Sachs and Russia investment company DST inject 500 million dollars into Facebook, making valuation of Facebook to reach 50 billion dollars.

Google Has Finally Had Reason For Operating On Motorola

Have software Android, why not have their own hardware

When Android myths are created, Google might think that “Android is popular, so I can produce better Android phones if I have my own hardware”.

It’s like Apple, to be able to control all links from software to hardware, do the most reasonable collocation. If you are dependent on other hardware, and tell them you want to modify some hardware to adapt to Android, they’ll say are you crazy.

Have goals

Well, Google’s leadership had grand plans, but Google make hardware itself is not realistic, so it’s fine to find a suitable company to buy at a appropriate time.

To do so, Google presumably do not want attracted the attention of other mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp.

Google: acquisition of Motorola in order to patent

Google selected Motorola as the acquired object, you can say it’s appetite. In this way, Google has the most appropriate reason, Motorola has many patents, acquisitions will be used to protect the Android.

How to manage, to have a stable

Early in the acquisition, Google and Motorola to remain independent of each other. May be afraid of Motorola’s executives resistance? Or are afraid to reveal their ambitious goal?

But if Google cannot control the Motorola, acquisitions will have any significance? Google wants Motorola to help him to achieve his plan.

For some time, find a reason

Took over Motorola is sooner or later, but he is too huge, cannot be completed in a short-term. I think Google does not want Motorola loss, but it also provides reason, Google could then send the brothers to serve as Motorola’s CEO (“you see, I have given you a lot of time, but you can’t keep losing, so I come”).

In this way, Google can be a little easier for Motorola to run according to its own means.

Layoffs

Another is Motorola’s job cuts, laying off 4,000 people around the world, I am afraid, second only to Nokia’s 10,000 people.

Hopeful? New Windows Phone Dev Center

Display resolution and system version

After you uploaded application, Dev Center will show you which versions of Windows Phone and resolutions your application supports.

I think higher resolution WP8, correctly displayed the WP7 application is likely to be a problem, you can stretch or leave blank on the screen, but this is bound to affect the user experience. There is one way to force developers to migrate existing WP7 application to WP8 and set different files for different resolutions.

Market expanding

This is not bad news for developers, why not say is good news? Because, I had not yet seen the benefits of the expansion of the market.

Needs an advertising platform for international

If you has a international application, are download in world around and hope have some advertising income, then joined a has international advertising platform is important.

When turning to the WP8

If you are new to Windows Phone development, it’s fine use WP8 to start. If you have already developed some WP7 applications, just wait, because the old WP7 users can’t use WP8 application.

Finally, I would like to talk about the BUG of new Dev Center. But I hope that the expansion of the market can bring about real change, rather than empty joy farm.

Nokia: Why Did I Abandon The Qt, “Helpless”

What is Qt?

Qt is the development framework, similar to Microsoft’s MFC, the language is C++. Qt was acquired by Nokia in 2009. Due to the open source, Qt will soon support developed in other languages, such as: C#.

It’s also a relatively large number of people who use Qt, because of its unique programming style and a good platform portability.

About 450,000 global developers using Qt.

Be pinned

One year earlier, at least in Nokia Qt still is the focus, as Symbian requires Qt to augment the functionality of its own, and MeeGo is bundled Qt support library.

So, Nokia’s Qt sector continues to believe that they are very important in the company.

Digia obtain Qt business

A few days ago, Nokia’s Qt business sold to Digia, together with Qt development and associated personnel.

Digia want the Qt for iOS, Android and Windows 8 development.

Wait

Qt is really pretty good, but wait it makes Symbian or MeeGo caught up with iOS, Android, Nokia would have been bought.

Nokia’s task is to help themselves, focus on one thing, is a wise move.

Of course, there are a lot of ways to do a good thing, Nokia cuts release eased pressure on Nokia (not to discuss whether this had hurt people’s feelings).

Other reasons

Presumably because Nokia’s Qt sectors has some conflict with the plan of Windows Phone. (Personal speculation, ;-)

Deny Public Face, Mobile Differentiation Is A Selling Point

If it is the same

Same system, same appearance, performance, differ only by brand, giving buyers less choice.May the one who has a lower price, better after-sales service, more gifts.

Of course, in reality this is not possible, manufacturers will make their mobile phone different with any other mobile.

Branding is difference too?

Yes, this represents the visibility and image of product in the public.The same two cellphones, the first is Samsung, you don’t know the second, you probably would choose Samsung, because you have not heard of the second brand.

OS

For a similar Windows Phone, it is difficult to have differences in the operating systems, this is because the Windows Phone system does not allow mobile phone manufacturers make any changes, I think the most that is, preinstalled software is different.

If you are a user who has decided to buy Windows Phone, only taking into the OS, maybe he will want to purchase the latest version of Windows Phone.

But for mobile phones that use Android, manufacturers have more options, which can transform the native Android, which makes different Android phones don’t look the same.

Hardware

If we feel that your operating system is not a very big problem, most likely they will be to look at the configuration of the mobile phone, just like we buy computers, we will be very concerned about computer configuration.

Appearance

Appearance is very important, although are “bricks”, is also available through different to distinguish between different colors and outlines.Another important reason for this is the formation of difference, may have a lot of friends was purchased at Nice.

Win8 to Join, Android No Longer Lonely, Smart-TV War Is About To Begin

Smart TV

Smart TV, it should be said that it is not yet as popular as a Smartphone, but for people who use Android phones are familiar with smart TV, since Android smart TV still is preferred, so the Android smart TV seems to be exclusively in the Mall.

Is a large Phone/Tablet?

No matter what I want to discuss, I need to first give you impressions about smart TV.Now that many smart TV is using Android.There should be no phone features for smart TV, because they also need to design a SIM card slot.

In addition to no phone-related features, the Android market can be reserved, so you can download applications and games from the market, such as: application of weather. Of course, browse the Web, watch a video is also a fundamental feature.

So, smart TV is more like a large Tablet.

Google TV

There is no doubt that if Google publish a smart TV, do not take their Android, then what?The first TV that supports Google TV is Sony’s Internet TV, which was released in May 2010.

Win8 to join

Now, while the market is not yet mature, it is not too late for Win8 smart TVs, otherwise it seems like smart phones, Android, iOS has ruled the market, it’s not easy for you to go inside.
