Android Tablet PC business savior turned to shake the status Win8
April 9, according to foreign media reports, Android3.0 personal computer plant which had been considered the savior of the iPad counterattack, but the first listed Android3.0 flat Xoom response does not seem to be too large, and other computer industry for Android the development of the plate is not smooth as expected. It is understood that, after and the after some Android, PC plant seems to turn in the next year may want to turn to the next generation Microsoft operating system Windows8 body.
Android in the smart phone market to the successful replication to a tablet PC market, it seems as easy as you might imagine. Compared to the Microsoft operating system every few years would do a big update, Android launch of the new version is too frequent and often different from Microsoft’s new operating system will be resolved before the launch of the compatibility issues surrounding, good quality control , Android launch of each new version of let the computer industry is always a headache, you must spend a lot of time to re-adjust.
As well as Microsoft’s patent offensive started, so that PC makers are worried about the other part. In addition to pre-existing HTC, Inventec and Hon Hai Microsoft patent litigation issues facing the industry that uses Android operating system to other manufacturers, the follow-up are also likely to face Microsoft’s patent litigation, or to pay related costs.
In addition, Android3.0 not take a comprehensive open source approach also allows PC makers dissatisfied. Generally agreed that the flat part of the delayed time to market is the change in strategy by the opening of Android3.0.
As a result, the industry believe that they follow the development of tablet PCs will not necessarily continue to follow after the Android, and that the combination of Microsoft and ARM may be as much about expectations.
Although there seems to Windows in the tablet PC market momentum as Android, but the PC industry said they were for the combination of Windows and ARM are welcome and will be on the Tablet PC market, promising to bring no small mass destruction. And one can imagine that, for the Wintel camp has long been accustomed to operating mode of the PC industry in terms of, Windows, and bound with ARM’s allow them to save a lot of effort on the development.
However, having said that, but after all the introduction of Windows8 no exact timetable, it is understood in the COMPUTEX possible before Microsoft will be releasing some new aspects of the information, and possibly as early next year, a chance to see the Beta version Windows8, but the RTM version of the final launch date may have to wait until late next year.
That is, before, in addition to HP, RIM and other companies with its own operating system, I am afraid that other companies still have to first put their hopes in Android body. And for the action point of view, none of the major manufacturers to stop the expansion of the pace of recruitment of personnel Android.
