Competition in the tablet PC market is intensifying, and more manufacturers have joined it. There are already 16 brands and 20 products have appeared, but there is no previous popular Nokia tablet and Intel tablet.
The Meego system jointly developed by the two companies has not yet been announced as successful. Samsung also announced that it has jointly developed a system with Huawei of Huaxia, but when it was applied, what product was specifically applied, it did not say anything.
Intel announced the development of a tablet-based CPU and motherboard. It has been a long time, and there has been no movement. This has caused ARM to become popular, but they have received many orders.
Of course, more orders are Chaowei Eagle Weida, their products are more mature, no quality and design defects have been found, and performance has been improving.
At this time, Nokia suddenly announced that their new smartphone equipped with Meego system will be launched soon, named N9.
The appearance of the new phone is very tough, the borders are relatively straight, and the corners are not softened. The operation interface is also different from Saipan. All applications are on the main interface, and the interface can slide up and down.
After the announcement of this product, many media have asked, is Nokia going to replace the Saipan system with the Meego system? Will there be new smartphones for the Saipan system in the future?
Nokia explained immediately that we are not going to abandon the Saipan system, but to provide consumers with more choices. At the same time, it also allows consumers not to be limited to a certain manufacturer's product system, because this is an open source system.
This made other colleagues understand that this Meego system is clearly set to compete with Zhiduoxing. It seems to be a system camp that hopes to collapse Zhiduoxing.
Unfortunately, the previous two manufacturers have not attracted more support, and many peers are still watching. They have to see that this product has sufficient advantages before they choose to jump in and join, otherwise why not have developed the platform for a long time?
Zhang Yang They had expected that Nokia and Intel meant the same thing, but he was not worried. If Zhiduoxing is now supported by more than 100 mainstream manufacturers and allies can still be defeated by Nokia and Intel, then they will not be the current industry share, at least Microsoft's share on the PC system.
In fact, Microsoft's other products except for the operating system are also declining. Including browsers, instant messaging software, office software, etc., there are many competitors, and even some products have surpassed Microsoft.
If there is no antitrust law, Microsoft can make other similar products disappear by relying on incompatible systems.
Microsoft's mobile phone operating system share is also declining, because Motorola and Changai, two major manufacturers that exclusively support their systems, are going downhill. Last year, the two manufacturers' share in the smartphone market was not much higher than Wan Yan.
And this year, Samsung, and other manufacturers have launched new smart phones, but all are based on the Zhiduoxing system, and none of them are Microsoft systems.
Chang Ai and Motorola insisted on the Microsoft system, but unfortunately the products sold very poorly. Motorola, in particular, is still competing fiercely with the BlackBerry in the North American market, but it ignores other regions.
The same is true for BlackBerry. In order to keep the base camp unchanged, the Huaxia market they just opened up is basically silent. In the first quarter of the Chinese market, the total sales volume did not exceed 100,000 units, and even the system-finished money could not be earned, let alone other expenses, and it was a blood loss.
This year's fastest-growing mobile phone manufacturers, namely Zhiduoxing, Lianxiang and Wanyan, Samsung can only rank fourth, and HTC ranks fifth.
These five mobile phone manufacturers saw a significant increase in sales in the first quarter. Others like Nokia, LG, Changai, Motorola, BenQ, and BlackBerry are all declining.
Zhiduoxing and other products that mainly increase mobile phone sales are smartphones, especially cheap smartphones. The sales of feature phones continue to decline. Some gray-screen mobile phones can no longer be sold. Monochrome screen cheap feature phones are basically unavailable. The current cheap feature phones are all color screens.
It is precisely because the smartphones that jump the most are smartphones of the Zhiduoxing system, which puts great pressure on Nokia. Last year, their smartphones were divided by system, and Saipan accounted for only 38% of the shipments. 37%, the gap between the two sides is very small.
In the first quarter of this year, the smart phone of Zhiduoxing System completed the overtaking, and Nokia was in a hurry. As for Microsoft systems and BlackBerry systems, the decline is faster.
Soon, this N9 went on sale, and Zhiduoxing also bought a few prototypes for testing. But after the test, they were relieved.
This Meego system is not as easy to use as the Saipan system, and the number of application software is very small, many functions are not complete, what smart phone to talk about?
And the price of this phone is more than a thousand dollars. As a result, there are not many people willing to buy it, and even fewer retailers are willing to buy it.
Nokia and Intel are frantically attracting software vendors, but they have failed. Those vendors are reluctant to join, you have no sales, how can my software make money?
On the Zhiduoxing system platform, we can sell tens of millions of copies of software and even more~EbookFREE.me~ On your Meego system platform, 100,000 copies are not available.
However, this phone still has many highlights, such as canceling the button, by sliding up and down, left and right sliding and clicking, double-clicking and other control interfaces, software, etc., card-type multitasking management, also does a good job.
It is a pity that these are already available on the Zhiduo X4, so that everyone has no sense of freshness and feels that Nokia is imitating Zhiduoxing.
The shell adopts new materials, the whole body has a seamless design, and is drop-resistant, waterproof, and dustproof. It is a smart phone with three protections, which is better than Zhiduoxing.
Nokia has always been full of power, and the use of Carl Zeiss lens, looks good.
But the lack of support from software manufacturers makes this phone very embarrassing. More embarrassing things happened soon.
Nokia announced that it will no longer update the system one week after its launch on the N9, and no longer develop application software based on the system, and will lay off a large number of employees in the Meego system business department.
The operation of this fan made the consumers who originally planned to buy N9 instantly retreat. Many people don't understand that it has cost so much money, and just developed the product, this is about to give up?
And after this news was announced, Zhiduoxing was very indifferent. When they had a meeting before, the chairman asserted that this product would be abandoned, and the Meego system would also be abandoned.
This week, the chairman’s prediction came true!
