抗iPhone號角響 Android+4G必勝方程式?

手機產業在iPhone上市之後,整個市場幾乎都成為了iPhone的舞台,由iPhone領銜主演,其他手機則成為最佳配角。也正由於iPhone過於樹大招風,這些扮演配角的手機廠與通信系統業者擔心對自己的生存造成威脅,因此誓言與iPhone對抗到底。2010年,一股反抗iPhone的起義號角已經悄悄響起。

由於Apple透過AppStore等線上商店的方式來經營全新的商業模式,也使得iPhone的銷售量以超乎預期的速度不斷成長。據統計,第三代的iPhone 3GS在北美等地上市後,3天內銷售量就達到100萬台。不僅如此,iPhone 3GS連在愛用國貨的日本市場上,也創下了非常出似的業績,銷售量均是倍數成長。看著iPhone的業績熱到發燙,通信系統業者及手機廠商無不擔心會對自己的營收帶來嚴重影響,因此也推出一連串措施來加以反制。

目前多數手機廠商最常見的,便是推出採用Android平台的智慧型手機來與iPhone抗衡。目前除了HTC已在2009年上市Android智慧型手機之外,許多廠商都已經有Android手機的相關發展計畫,許多產品都會在2010年陸續上市。也因此,Android手機是否真能如預期般在市場上開出紅盤,2010年便可見真章。

除了積極開發智慧型手機之外,內建新世代的4G通訊功能也是用來對抗iPhone的重要措施。從2009年起,行動WiMAX的服務已經正式啟用,瑞典TeliaSonera也開始提供LTE用服務。2010年起,美國Verizon Wireless及NTT DoCoMo等廠商也都預定導入LTE技術。目前4G技術明顯偏重於LTE以成趨勢,因此不久的將來,除了Android平台之外,率先內建LTE的4G手機,也將成為打iPhone的主力機種。當然iPhone目前勢力仍無人能及,Android加上4G是否真能成功反擊iPhone,仍有待觀察。然而此反攻號角一旦響起,業界勢必風起雲湧響應,未來手機產業仍有好戲可看。

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."
