Events: XPphone real machine industry trends or short-lived appearance
| Event Details:
Today XPphone rampant IT field, named after a variety of mobile phones to phone launched, Iphone, Ophone, music phone is no longer strange. Recently, a computer and cell phone called XPphone mixed product Jingxian Shenzhen. What is XPphone? "XPphone" name implies that "Windows XP PC +3 G phone," the conceptual products since the company made last year to Taipei after the mini-notebook soon lead the industry in a big argument with smart phones. After a year of deliberation, in the just concluded at the Shenzhen High finally has come up with several manufacturers in Shenzhen real machine. However, this huge block header, the price is not low XPphone the possibility of market penetration, open, or only short-lived?
In fact, two months before the opening of the fair, XPphone has appeared Huaqiang North. Different manufacturers, specifications, models have four or five models of products, prices between 4200-5000 yuan. One exhibitor said the fair, their product is part of the market for some time, XPphone sales is not good, mainly because the market open up. However, the first generation of product performance, user experience are not mature enough, and the high cross at the second-generation products, and generally have relatively large improvements.
Xpphone commonly known as "half-breed mobile phones and computers."
In last year's Computex Taipei, a little-known ITG Electronics officially announced this XPphone, ITG said: "XPphone smart phone has finally applied for a patent, you can run the Windows XP operating system can easily fit into a pocket in the XPphone mobile phones, laptop computers are usually able to run some of the some of the procedures before they can run it using the more remarkable performance of the CPU, to solve the smart phone's processor has been plagued by bottlenecks. XPphone smartphones can support three types of 3G networks worldwide. XPphone intelligence phone can also promote the development of wireless 3G services. "
Now the major mobile phone manufacturers are not happy with Apple's flat thriving, have launched their own intelligence tablet, Shenzhen this XPphone can be said to Phone and Pad is a perfect combination of products, development of smart phones to the present, a large screen and touch operation can be a trend, rising hardware parameters of the competition has become a manifestation.
It has a 4.8-inch large touch screen, and supports the call function. It not only has excellent hardware specifications, but also in the ease of use is also a lot of human attention to detail. For example, it uses a large touch screen, while also using the very popular sliding QWERTY keyboard design. In addition, it joined the arrow keys, touchpad, mouse buttons shortcuts, and numeric keypad, which are at present many mainstream smart phone that fall. XPphone a capacity of up to 2150 mA when the battery, and configure the level of low-power computer processors, which also has a better life for it to provide a guarantee.
Industry trends, or flash in the pan?
XPphone computer-based operating system, the mobile phone become a real PC, the maximum degree of expansion in mobile content. Widely believed, the popularity of smart phones, so that the boundaries between mobile phones and computers become more and more blurred. However, whether it is Apple Iphone, Google Andriod, Nokia or Symbian, mobile phone operating system, compared with traditional desktop platforms, there are some limitations. The Gong that, XPphone computer-based operating system, the mobile phone become a real PC, you can expand on the phone to the maximum extent the content. XPphone's coming out for our cake and eat it created the industry trends, but this trend is unconventional or flash in the pan?
When in the middle of last year, a direct use of the Window XP-based computer received a lot of phone work XPphone the concerns of consumers, XPphone on the hardware upgrade has been going to meet you. But in the meantime, XPphone the first software upgraded by the previous Window XP upgrade to Win 7 system, has XPphone running Win 7 system of video is to get exposure.
A testing agency to run Win 7 release XPphone video showed, this mobile phone from China XPphone Win 7 system to run smoothly, although the hardware performance of this machine running Win 7 system somewhat difficult to understand, but eventually succeeded in running . The choice is Win 7 Ultimate system, even more than the Window XP system before fluency even higher.
XPphone the advantage of using the XP system as we know, will we usually take for granted the computer operating system migration to the phone who, I believe many users will narrow the distance, and will not give rise to new biological sense of exclusion. In addition, powerful hardware configuration, comprehensive, user-friendly features destined to become the future backbone of the mobile phone market.
The future development of a number of problems XPphone
However, some industry people are not optimistic about this phone and computer XPphone of mixed products. The industry believes that, XPphone not only face high costs and barriers to user experience, and between PC and mobile phone itself has many insurmountable natural barriers, XPphone idea now with the industry development trend of mobile phone and the PC goes against the separation.
Wang Bin, an analyst said the electronics industry in Shenzhen, XPphone not new, as early as five or six years ago, some of the PC giant has launched with a communication function of the UMPC (ultra-micro-computer), but the results will soon be out of the market. Bin analysis, the trend now is phone and PC so separate, XPphone idea now with the industry development trend of mobile phone and the PC goes against the separation. For example, in the past Microsoft's smartphone operating system WM is ported from the PC, and Microsoft has just released Win 7 series mobile phones are different from the PC to use the new system.
In addition, Wang Bin said that the phone volume is very limited, but the PC systems they need to run on the big screen, if the phone is too large it will affect mobile portable. In addition, XPphone as a PC in terms of performance is difficult to guarantee, "added touch module, they may even run the new version of Office software are more difficult, we talk about user experience"?
Not only that, XPphone have cost issues. According to industry-related parties, XPphone cost about 2,800 yuan, through channels to the retail market prices must be more than $ 4,000 in order to ensure profits. Wang Bin said: "Unlike a few hundred dollars of the cottage phone, a few thousand dollars of the price, consumers will have higher demand for the product the same time, a netbook and smart phones in the end add up to is the price, XPphone look unattractive. "
It seems, XPphone the future development of the road will continue to face many obstacles. How can both adapt to the market and meet customer needs? How to deal with low-cost cottage to open the market to consider.
