There are many things worthy of memory in the summer of 2004, and a message issued by the Ministry of Information Industry is not eye-catching: China's mobile communication users have exceeded 300 million. This is a gold mine that has been proven to reserves, and is there a larger gold mite below?
A group of prosers have quietly started their work, on June 25, the Microsoft Mobile Development Conference was held. Windows Mobile has collected hardware vendors such as MOTO, Dopod, TCL in a short period of time, forming a mobile device's industrial chain. There is still a force that cannot be ignored in this industry chain - tens of millions of Windows software developers. Under the .NET platform, these software developers can easily develop or transplant the programs on Windows Mobile. Conversion of the strength of the dominant field into the power of the competition, Microsoft is lightly familiar. Although the Symbian in the existing mobile device occupant, Microsoft is a later thing, but Microsoft is not a single knife, and he brings many collaborators in the PC to the development of mobile devices, and leads The bridge in the mobile field is a Windows Mobile and .Net Compact Framework that reduces the development threshold.
The market in the field of mobile development will inevitably re-divide by Microsoft's entry. The concept of mobile devices in the future is also simple in mobile phones or PDAs. What will I bring to the next wave of mobile devices from Microsoft? What can we still have something to have more than those beautiful prospects that Microsoft and other vendors are infused?
I don't want to describe those technologies that have become reality or will become a reality, because they will definitely become part of your life in the future. What I want to say here is those technologies that may become realistic, or the technology we need in the future. As for them, it is necessary to see developers' efforts, and this may include you, after all, the door to mobile equipment has been opened ...
One. Safety
Security issues are not Microsoft, but people talk about security issues tend to think of Microsoft. It is already the old problem of Microsoft for ease of use. Because the program has won the market for easy use, it is suffering from the safety problem. Microsoft has not found a balance point yet.
Safety problems in mobile devices are more than PC, GPRS, CDMA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, your information is spread in unresolved eyes ... When Microsoft has not entered this field, security issues have been speculated. Broken, but mainly in the field of communications. Today, Microsoft came, while bringing millions of developers, they also gave the software hackers "Flowing honey and milk."
Software hackers' gospel is mainly concentrated in two aspects: 1, Microsoft provides a unified platform. The "mobile phone virus" before this is designed for a vulnerability of a mobile phone, which is difficult to cause flooding on all mobile phones. Nowadays, it is unified, maybe a vulnerability can cause the paralysis of all mobile phones.
2. Open network, open platform. The development of the network means that the attack is rich, Bluetooth devices, and GPRS networks will become an attacker's tool. This is not terrible, terrible is Microsoft also provided an open platform. Third-party developments can also be easy to run, perhaps Microsoft's digital signatures can prevent worms and trees like "bank thieves", but how do we prevent the procedure like a sheepskin similar to 3721? The most terrible thing is that we have a good reputable mobile operator. If the PC can protect some of the security of the personal information after the PC is attacked, then a mobile phone and bank account are closely connected, how do I believe in those digital signatures? Does the program do not send text messages to a toll website endlessly?
The security issues of the crisis also give the software providers a chance, with the popularity of smartphones, whether it uses the operating system, whether it is Windows Mobile or Symbian, or other, once the unified platform is formed, there will be viruses and Trojans The frenzy of the flooding of the program appeared. At that time, the virus firewall defense was more than just data security, but perhaps defending the company's real gold and silver.
two. Download service
Said so many security issues, it is estimated that everyone's heart is cold. But we can't make people use to generate electricity because nuclear technology can make the original bullets.
Just a SMS service creates a Ding Xingfu, then the future mobile phone download service can also create a few richest rises? With the decline in mobile Internet access, colorful download services will definitely be a great trip to live, and of course there are SP's pockets. Moving Treasure Chests Now only for Java's small games, if Windows Mobile can occupy a certain share, this kind of download service should not be excluded. Now there is already the main interface of SmartPhone's main interface custom download service.
Games, music, information services should be the raised protagonist. Because the restriction of the storage of mobile devices, the online listening song will definitely be more popular, and the website that provides song leasing services may have a lot of money to the publisher, still income. And audio and video services are not expected to be expected to us.
As for the game, I am not talking about the game provided in the mobile treasure chest. On the MDC, the online games of the Lianzhong have already played, why can't we expect online games on your mobile phone? Due to the difference between the audience, the game I think that puzzle is more popular than the violent game.
The way to make information services on SMS has been popular, but SMS and MMS can give us information still limited. Personalized information services still have to rely on the network. RSS may become a darling of future personalized information services.
In our era, we can't ignore the existence of blog. I am afraid it is a good way to mount or read Blog.
three. Multimedia
I have already said before, future mobile devices will not just mobile phones or PDAs, and we will have a personal digital terminal that integrates many functions such as communications, information management, media entertainment. This is a market waiting for a subdivision. But in any case, multimedia functions have become more concerned about people. MP3 seems to have been outdated, people who have already enjoyed digital audio and video will certainly not return to the card or CD. But the MP3's day, the sun, also makes people feel that the products that are simply fixed by several fixed media formats will gradually. The product that can be upgraded can seem to be the mainstream of the future.
With the maturity of streaming format, online broadcasting or online TV is no longer a future technology. It is the problem of network costs now.
four. The fuel cell
To put some hardware related questions, the software is getting more and more colorful, but mobile devices are also facing the dilemma of electric waste. The standby time is short, which is the soft rib of the smartphone. MOTO engineers use a very means of reducing RAM to increase FlashDish to save energy.
Fuel batteries look closest to our solution. Japanese companies have launched a conceptual product and can be applied within two years. This is undoubtedly a gospel for those who need continuous work. Let us continue to look forward to.
Fives. Hard disk
hard disk? Is the mobile device becomes more like PC? iPod, a blue name, let us experience the big capacity of MP3. Why can't our mobile device do not use a hard drive? If you solve the problem of electricity and heat dissipation, use the hard drive on your mobile device is not expected to be expected. But it is stupid to be stupid, and is there in the business sector, but will it adapt to the psychological needs of fashionable modern people?
The plug-in hard disk is also a choice, but the mobile device is unable to provide enough power to the hard disk, so that the hard disk does not charge itself? FlashDish is currently the best choice for mobile devices. As production costs decline, we will definitely have more and more storage space, but it is difficult to have a quality leap. Perhaps the hard drive is worth waiting for us ... well, just say so much, Wince 5.0 is coming out, now I am very fired on its source code. After all, it is the first time Iron, but everyone should not hold too much hope, this symbolic significance of this open source is greater than the practical meaning. Wince previous version many code is developed to partner, this time it is only expanded this range. And you can't use Wince to use your device. Microsoft's hand is very wonderful, with both Microsoft's non-open source, but also puts pressure on Symbian in the mobile device market. Moreover, it is open to Wince that is completely different from the operating system on the PC, even if it fails, it will not affect the Microsoft's PC market. It is really powerful.
However, as a programmer, Wince's code is worth looking forward to seeing Microsoft's people written by the code. It is better than answering those "compilation errors, what to do".
