抗iPhone号角响 Android+4G必胜方程序?

手机产业在iPhone上市之后,整个市场几乎都成为了iPhone的舞台,由iPhone领衔主演,其他手机则成为最佳配角。也正由于iPhone过于树大招风,这些扮演配角的手机厂与通信系统业者担心对自己的生存造成威胁,因此誓言与iPhone对抗到底。2010年,一股反抗iPhone的起义号角已经悄悄响起。

由于Apple透过AppStore等在线商店的方式来经营全新的商业模式,也使得iPhone的销售量以超乎预期的速度不断成长。据统计,第三代的iPhone 3GS在北美等地上市后,3天内销售量就达到100万台。不仅如此,iPhone 3GS连在爱用国货的日本市场上,也创下了非常出似的业绩,销售量均是倍数成长。看着iPhone的业绩热到发烫,通信系统业者及手机厂商无不担心会对自己的营收带来严重影响,因此也推出一连串措施来加以反制。

目前多数手机厂商最常见的,便是推出采用Android平台的智能型手机来与iPhone抗衡。目前除了HTC已在2009年上市Android智能型手机之外,许多厂商都已经有Android手机的相关发展计划,许多产品都会在2010年陆续上市。也因此,Android手机是否真能如预期般在市场上开出红盘,2010年便可见真章。

除了积极开发智能型手机之外,内建新世代的4G通讯功能也是用来对抗iPhone的重要措施。从2009年起,行动WiMAX的服务已经正式启用,瑞典TeliaSonera也开始提供LTE用服务。2010年起,美国Verizon Wireless及NTT DoCoMo等厂商也都预定导入LTE技术。目前4G技术明显偏重于LTE以成趋势,因此不久的将来,除了Android平台之外,率先内建LTE的4G手机,也将成为打iPhone的主力机种。当然iPhone目前势力仍无人能及,Android加上4G是否真能成功反击iPhone,仍有待观察。然而此反攻号角一旦响起,业界势必风起云涌响应,未来手机产业仍有好戏可看。

4G也是雲端運算必勝利器,但花費可不便宜..請看CNN之報導 LightSquared's big gamble: A brand-new wireless network NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Watch out AT&T, Sprint and Verizon: A whole host of super-fast wireless services could be coming down the pike. LightSquared, a new 4G wireless network backed by private-equity firm Harbinger Capital Partners and to be built by Nokia Siemens, is set to roll out starting next year. By 2015, LightSquared intends to have its network covering 92% of the U.S. population, the company announced this week. "4G" is a term used for the next generation of wireless networks, which promise to deliver broadband-like download speeds over the air that are up to 50 times faster than 3G (though actual speeds will be slower). Sprint (S, Fortune 500) has already begun to roll out its 4G network, and Verizon (VZ, Fortune 500) and AT&T (T, Fortune 500) are planning on unveiling 4G networks soon -- Verizon at the end of this year and AT&T in 2011. A new player in the wireless market is a rarity these days -- there's more consolidation than new blood. Nokia Siemens said it will spend $7 billion building up LightSquared's network. That's a big gamble few companies can afford to make. But that's not the only reason LightSquared's new network is significant: The company says it doesn't plan to sell directly to consumers. Instead, it will wholesale its network to retailers and service providers. "LightSquared is hoping to accelerate the ability of other service providers to offer 4G services to consumers," said Dan Hays, a partner at consulting firm PRTM. "This opens doors for additional competitors and new innovation." Here's how it might work: Under one hypothetical scenario, a big retail company like Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) could decide it wants to start selling mobile phones with "Wal-Mart Wireless" branding. So Wal-Mart would sign a deal with LightSquared to use its 4G network, but Wal-Mart would sell the service and the devices to its customers. Another potential customer pool is existing, low-budget wireless providers like T-Mobile or MetroPCS (PCS), which have very limited networks of their own. These providers could buy bandwidth from LightSquared to offer 4G service without building out their own infrastructure. Leap Wireless' (LEAP) Cricket already does something similar with its 3G service. But the real growth potential is in wiring up devices that aren't currently connected to the Internet. No one thought books needed to be broadband-enabled -- until Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) introduced the Kindle e-reader. The first generation of Kindles ran on Sprint's network. (Kindle customers don't pay access fees for that bandwidth; Amazon foots the bill, reasoning that it will sell more e-books to customers who have ubiquitous access.) But Amazon later switched to AT&T, which now powers all the major e-readers, including Sony's (SNE) Reader and Barnes & Noble's (BKS, Fortune 500) Nook. Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) iPad also runs on AT>'s network. Adding competition to that market for "white-label" broadband access could help bring down prices for consumers. It also opens up new product possibilities. Right now, the Big Three wireless network operators have been hesitant to license bandwidth to other companies for services that could cannibalize their own. For instance, General Motors' OnStar system uses Verizon's network, but Verizon offers similar roadside assistance and navigation systems. It's a tense balancing act. LightSquared won't have those conflicts of interest, because it's not trying to sell directly to consumers. If it gets its network built, it will want to hawk bandwidth to anyone with the cash to buy it. "LightSquared will be a disruptive force in the U.S. wireless landscape by democratizing wireless broadband services," LightSquared CEO Sanjiv Ahuja said in a prepared statement. "We're not only delivering exciting opportunities for manufacturers and retailers, but also real change for consumers."
