"Programmer" magazine reporter Zou Zhenla! Mobile development
In the early stage of computer development, Moore proposed his own law: the ability of the chip every 18 months will double; after entering the network era, the inventors of the Ethernet have proposed their own Metcalfe to the value of the network: The value of the network is equal to the square of the associated connection. But all this cannot explain the value of mobile apps that is rapidly developing, so Traver Gruen-Kennedy proposes its own Traver's law: the value of the connection is equal to the multiple of the related application functions.
According to Traver's law, we can restart the value of the phone. Linus describes such a picture for us: When you leave the office, you can send information to the information appliance appliances in the home, so the air conditioner in the family opens to the temperature you like in advance, the coffee machine also begins to cook a pot of delicious coffee. All this is to make you feel comfortable and thoughtful from a moment from getting home. Although all of this has become a reality in the Laboratory of IBM China Research Center, it is a good future and unreachable feelings we feel. However, in today, SMS, mobile games, mobile securities, etc., is gradually being familiar with each of us. In the foreground brought by the increasingly hot market, the prospects of the bright future, for many programmers, mobile development is more likely to be mysterious and forward.
"Hot" mobile development
In addition to money and prospects, another reason for determining mobile development is huge in its number of terminals. The Ministry of Information Industry is expected that by the end of 2004, China's mobile phone penetration rate will reach 24.5%, about 4 people have 1 mobile phone. This number is replaced by means of a method, indicating that domestic mobile phone users have reached 29,575 billion, and will exceed 3 billion households. 300 million mobile phones require a lot of mobile applications, from this number, we are not difficult to see how big is the market potential of mobile applications. At the 5th China (Beijing) Mobile Communications International Forum, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Information Industry has shown that under the joint driving of technology, market and wireless mobile application business, China's wireless mobile communications industry has developed rapidly, mobile business revenue has Close to half of all telecom business revenue.
At present, mobile value-added services has SMS, MMS / Color E, WAP, Java / Brew and IVR five, and the service provided by mobile service operators is mainly in three blocks of SMS, WAP and KJAVA. Many industry insiders believe that the domestic website is just that the leftovers of the mobile app are alive, and the potential of domestic mobile application market has not been discovered. On the other hand, the first-line developers believe that it is not easy to earn money from mobile development. In the face of two opposite answers, we can't help but ask: Is mobile development really a Jinguang Avenue full of money?
Technical Manager of Huaxia Anya Technology Co., Ltd. said: "In three business, SMS business is relatively mature, but due to traditional media cooperation between operators and TV stations and well-known newspapers, it can make big money, so the entry threshold is relatively high. Some companies such as SOHU, NetEase have better cooperation with traditional media such as TV, newspapers and magazines, have achieved huge benefits in SMS business. The development ofkjava has become more stable, but the current development of manufacturers There is only 40 ~ 50, which can support its terminal equipment; and the application of the application of KJAVA development is also long, and the result of the developer has less effective. In addition, Kjava's application prospect is also Because of the security of Java, the pirated game CD has appeared on the market, so that users can play games without payment. Therefore, the security issue of billing system will determine the fate of Kjava development. "Beijing Pocket Pearl Information Technical Director of Technology Co., Ltd. supports this view. He believes: "Although mobile development looks hot and exception, from our company's situation, the current number of users is lower than the initial plan. Horizontal. This is mainly due to the field in Java, the applications we develop is based on China Mobile's treasure chest, but this form of treasure chests lives users. User experience is in the box, if not in the box Location, your application is good, users have no patience to top, four-layer menu to find your application, which is extremely disadvantageous to the number of users. "Online game is a hot field, mobile game market There should be a more tempting prospect, but the technical director of Huaxia Anye Technology Co., Ltd. said his worries: "In the case of the level, our technical level and the general-level company engaged in mobile game development abroad. Upon and down, and the top mobile game development company has not directly entered the domestic market. However, operators are more willing to introduce games from abroad for cost consideration. This makes it possible to develop three ~ four games in our company, but truly The income obtained in the treasure chest is not very big. With the top game companies such as Sega, the competition in this area will become fiercely abnormal. "The technical manager of the joint efforts of the Lianzhong Mobile depends himself. Views: "From the open telecommunications department, WAP and KJAVA businesses can not be charged at all. Therefore, the development of WAP and Kjava business is being greatly restructed by the telecommunications department."
From this point of view, although the global market has reached billions of dollars, it is full of business opportunities, but it is also full of risks. But because of this, the mobile application market is a market that can enter. If the roadside tree is full of seductive fruits, the passers people can reach out that the fruit will definitely be the first fruit, and only the fruit that is not easy to pick on the tree is likely to stay. The risk and opportunity of mobile application markets coexist, so that mobile app markets may become the market that is really able to enjoy the future, and the premise of enjoying, it is to understand and use the market rules for mobile application markets.
Mobile development promotion
Current mobile development has formed a clear industrial chain. At the end of this industrial chain, it is an integrated circuit, communication device and other mobile phone electronic devices producers, these manufacturers and products that live downstream, and equipment producers constitute the hardware vendor group in the industrial chain. In the industrial chain, connect applications developers and hardware vendors are operating system vendors. Like the PC market, hardware is to be used to users, and software is provided by the service operator. In addition, Telecom operators such as China Mobile and China Unicom provide wireless communication network. These soft, hardware vendors, and service providers have picked up a broad mobile application market.
In hardware vendors, INTEL, TI, and Motorola three hardware platforms are formed. In terms of software, it is divided into three software platforms of Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Palm OS based on the operating system. In addition, there are high-pass companies' BREW, MOTOROLA's KJAVA, and Linux and other operating systems and operating environments. Smartphone's hardware makes money by selling equipment, while software vendors' profit models are relatively complex.
For the operating system manufacturer, Qualcomm provides the development platform to developers to develop games. If the game developed, if the game is operated by China Unicom, the income generated by China Unicom and developers is assigned according to the proportion of 1.5: 8.5, China Unicom has divided high-pass companies in the income obtained. SUN is different from this, with direct funding of Sun, only mobile terminals. Mobile terminals can get source code for free, but they pay the patent fees for the Java platform. For operators and many developers like China Mobile, Sun does not pay directly to them, just to help work. In Java service applications, China Mobile and developers are divided into 1.5: 8.5 mode. For mobile application developers, the main revenue from SMS, WAP and Kjava. For text messages, application providers are only available for SP qualifications and an access number, and users spend their business. They will give mobile phone departments every month, and mobile telecommunications sectors will follow the words. The amount is the cost of operation, in these fees, after deducting bad debts, channel costs, etc., all of them are all service providers' income. Since the application provider must provide a monthly-not-monthly spending fee per month, such SMS is a natural month, which is a monthly fee for this month. The vast increase in the KJAVA and WAP business is also use the monthly system. Application providers provide their own applications to China Mobile, China Mobile puts all of these applications in the treasure chest for users to download. Since the treasure chest uses multi-layered recommended menus, the application provider wants to get more benefits in Kjava and WAP services, so that their content is to rely on the recommendation menu. If the application provider's application is located on the first floor menu, the user will see that the download rate is naturally high; if the user is in the three, four-layer menu, the user may not be patient at all, so even There is no chance to meet with the user. This model allows service providers with China Mobile's relationships to get more benefits.
From the profit method of mobile development, we can't find that the SMS business is still the end of the eye, and in order to attract enough attention, there is enough pre-pre-input. WAP and KJAVA business have not escaped the control of monopoly economy. But in any case, the mobile app market with huge market space is also provided with a new market space, and in this market, some people have dug to their first bucket of gold. The technical manager of the Lianzhong Mobile Division revealed that the first bucket of gold mainly comes from a dating and mobile group.
Mobile development platform
Review the history of high-tech development, we don't really find the essence of competition is the standard competition. These standards are divided into different levels. For these standards, the closer the standard, the more the benefits are obtained. Thus, since the hardware pattern of smartphones has formed, the focus of competition is concentrated on the operating system level.
Smartphone is a competitive focus of the 3C integrated market. In fact, the large background of the three major operating system platforms of smartphones is also three different fields. Symbian's background is Nokia, it is the boss of the wireless communications industry; the famous Windows Mobile is non-Microsoft, it is the boss of the computer industry; the background of Palm OS is the consumer electronics boss Sony. With such a strong company support, add the Linux platform supported by Motorola, and a mobile development platform will inevitably launched. At this level of operation, Qualcomm's BREW platform, Sun's J2ME and C / C with major developers also play a role in this platform war. It is worth mentioning that domestic manufacturers have not been left in this war, and Cotai Century Technology Co., Ltd. and Xinhushanding system are also quietly growing in this mobile development platform. Zhou Hongqiao, vice president of Cotai Century, said: "Linux can solve the current application, but Hi Xin can not only solve the current, but also solve the next decade-based Web Service-based third-generation Internet brigade to the software industry strategic challenge." Symbian A large feature of the platform is that it is designed for mobile devices, so the application developed by the Symbian platform has a congenital advantage in memory management and power consumption. At the same time, compared with the development tools of Java, although Java-developed applications can be run across platforms, and more easily, Java can only be a subset of the Symbian platform, in other words, Symbian The platform can be completed than Java due to many resources that have strong development capabilities and the underlying resource.
The Symbian platform has been exhausted on the terminal equipment due to the full support of Nokia. Nokia's approach is to add a user interface on the Symbian kernel, and divided into multiple series of 60, 80, 90, with a supported technology, and dozens of mobile phones are supported. This makes mobile developers more willing to develop on the Symbian platform and then transfer to other platforms. Although not based on the Symbian operating system, the 40 series user interface is a very good reality example, which is sufficient to explain the advantages of mobile terminal platformization, and the mobile app development based on the 40-Series user interface can support 20 mobile phones. This way, the development cost of mobile developers is more economical. Due to the development of mobile developers to develop on this platform, it is also increasing the application species of the 40 series user interface, which in turn promotes more types. Mobile phone supports the 40 series user interface. Nokia Forum Business Development Manager Confucius said: "In China Mobile's treasure chest, the application based on the 40 series user interface has reached 80%. Nokia's next mass mobile terminal platform is the 60 series user interface, and it is constantly perfecting the platform. Make the mobile application developer to get more benefits. The application based on the 60-series user interface will not only run on Nokia's mobile phone, but will also run on the product of the authorized mobile phone manufacturers, etc.
Through this paper, we are not difficult to find that the other bigger of the Symbian platform is the clear product line, and between the Symbian60, 80, 90 platforms is not only the difference between the user interface, but more is divided according to the function. . If the Symbian80 Series specializes in enterprise applications, the Symbian90 series is designed to apply the application of handwriting equipment. Since Symbian is directly developed for mobile phone mobile phone, it is easy to produce Symbian development is the impression of developing entertainment applications. The driver's violations, the driver who was punished may not know that it is a small mobile phone, and the illegal behavior is taken to the mobile database, so that they will eventually fall into the Method. Unlike Nokia's series of evolution strategies on the Symbian platform, Microsoft's Windows Mobile walks a road from the desktop to mobile due to Microsoft's application advantage at desktop. Wei Qing, director of mobile product departments of Microsoft China, said: "Smartphone technology is the integration of IT technology and communication technology, smartphone = pc phone. From IT's perspective, watching the future of mobile phones from the perspective of IT will be very Different. With the bandwidth, memory, the ability of the handheld equipment is getting stronger and stronger, hardware equipment has been rapidly developed rapidly in the background of people who don't pay attention, and the processing power of mobile devices will eventually become PC. There is no difference in the machine, so Microsoft's imagination is that as long as the .NET application can be run on the PC, it can be placed on the phone. "
The emergence of smartphones is to let users receive smaller restrictions, while the current situation of mobile applications is only a SMS to implement cross-platform applications. If there is no cross-platform compatibility, mobile app this industry is only limited to SMS, MMS, Ringtones These simple applications. Compared with the communications industry, the compatibility of IT has obviously has been in front. It is based on this understanding of compatibility, Wei Qing believes that "the industry will soon find that Microsoft Windows Mobile applications will be in a large number of avalanches after the Microsoft MDC Assembly. Now the function of mobile phones is making More and more stronger, users need some applications that can better utilize these features, Windows Mobile will be a good platform for developing these applications. In fact, Microsoft's technology has achieved the same application, which can be installed WINDOWS XP is running on the PC, and at the same time, you can run synchronously on Microsoft Pocket PC and SmartPhone. This means that through Microsoft's systems, even if you are in the United States, you can still maintain your application synchronization with domestic companies. Microsoft has sufficient application accumulation on the PC, a large number of ISVs gathered on the Windows platform, which makes Microsoft have sufficient appeal in turning to other fields. Therefore, we don't make it difficult to assert that Windows Mobile will have more advantages in enterprise applications. During the process of migration of mobile applications, the traditional PC uses Microsoft's Windows system, starting from usage habits, this part of the user will more inclined to the Windows Mobile platform. For developers, programmers with considerable Windows environment, which will also give priority to the Windows Mobile platform for conversion costs. Microsoft's strategy is using the user's psychology, and striving for competing advantage. But the Windows Mobile platform is not without a soft rib. It is currently supporting the Windows Mobile, which has become a Windows Mobile platform that cannot be wound. Microsoft has already prepared it, Wei Qing said: "You will see that there will be a Microsoft smartphone listed every two months this year."
Compared with Symbian and Windows Mobile, Palm OS, like Japan, is full of dramatic. Palm OS is an operating system developed for mobile devices, so Palm OS accounts for considerable advantages in energy consumption, capacity. Early Palm Source is divided into two parts, partially produced PDA, and also develops Palm OS. In the early days of PDA popularity, many companies have asked to obtain Palm OS authorization, but Palm Source has rejected these requirements for hardware sales considerations. In 1999, domestic markets and other manufacturers have begun to promote the so-called "PDA" concept with the over-coverage of advertising, but these PDAs are just some high-end electronic dictionaries, and after this, Palm Source has neither entered China and rejected Lenovo. The company's authorization request, all this has set heavy obstacles to Palm OS in China. Despite this, Pan Guanghe, which Palm Source Chinese company believes: "From a global perspective, the Palm OS platform has cultivated developers in foreign countries, and the developers currently have reached 30 ~ 400,000 on the platform. In the world, there is a very strong accumulation on the Palm OS. There is currently more than 2,3,000 applications, which can be applied to the PDA, and can also be applied to Smartphone. "Palm OS originated from PDA, There is also a strong aid of Sony supports it. From the perspective of smart handheld equipment, the concept of smart home appliances will also be introduced into this competition. If this situation occurs, Palm OS will re-occupy the lead. In the field of mobile application development, there is a platform that cannot be ignored is Linux. Linux has received strong support from hardware platform manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers. Tan Jun, General Manager of ARM China, even predicted that Linux applied to the Application on the ARM platform. Application on the X86 platform. In mobile manufacturers, Motorola stood firmly to Linux. These plus government support and the efforts of a batch of fanatic enthusiasts, Linux does not be despised in the field of mobile application development.
Another purpose of the mobile app is to allow the application to pass on the user's terminal device, but because there is a different operating system, the application will be used because it is not compatible, so that the need for each type of mobile phone is not compatible, so the cross-platform demand is generated. Taking this task is Sun's J2ME platform and Qualcomm's BREW platform.
After using Java technology, mobile phone manufacturers produce Java mobile phones, operators develop Java applications, can block the difference in operating systems, thereby reducing the development difficulty of mobile applications. After using the Java platform, developers can adapt adaptation by packaging applications that support different screen sizes, so that different types of mobile phones can run the same application. In this way, Java-based applications truly implement cross-platform. It is because of these features of Java, 96 mobile operators in the world officially launched Java-based commercial applications, and China Unicom may become the 97th mobile operators. Shao Zhengqiang, Senior Manager, China Sub-Software, said: "Sun's Java will support most operating systems including Microsoft Windows Mobile and domestic Hopen, due to users' demand, manufacturers will also use different kinds of chips Therefore, smartphones will be unlikely to be ruled by one, two operating systems. As long as there are a variety of operating systems, there is naturally a cross-operative demand, which is the vitality of J2ME. "
Qualcomm Company was launched by China Unicom to launch the magical book BREW business, BREW platform-based applications have exceeded 1.5 million downloads in China. The BREW platform is more faced to CDMA, while CDMA2000 1x networks can be smoothly upgraded to 3G networks, so Qualcomm and China Unicom cooperate in CDMA to make the BREW platform account for some leaders in the future. However, Qualcomm's practice is not the same, and Qualcomm provides a series of solutions including chip, operating system, and applications to mobile vendors, and even provide billing systems to mobile operators, including later. The issuance of application detection and digital signature is also packaged, which makes the BREW platform into a relatively closed system. Therefore, it is determined that the BREW platform and J2ME fate will be the degree of importance of mobile operators to independent decision. At present, there is no mobile phone that supports J2ME and supporting Brew in the world for the considering of cost and power. Since all platforms learn to learn each other's strengths, this makes the battle for mobile development to eventually evolve into the dispute between ISV services. Wei Qing, director of mobile product departments of Microsoft China, believes: "In the competition of the platform, who can provide more and better services for ISV, who will eventually win. Because the platform is already tailored, it will be the creation of industry prosperity will be the creation of ISV. For this reason, Microsoft's services are divided into three levels. Any mobile application developer can enter the Microsoft community to get tools and white paper, and get online guidance; and Microsoft's acquisition ISV will be able to get e-mail and hotline. Help, high-rise gold partners can also get hotline and even on-site service. In addition, Microsoft will also provide Windows Mobile product identification certification and other certifications for channels for mobile markets. Nokia will extend domestic developers based on Symbian's application to abroad, thereby achieving resources in a global scale, and will open a curriculum with Symbian as content in ten universities in China. Although there are many people in the country, SUN is still impact ourselves by providing free development tools and participating in China Mobile. As a mobile app developer, it will inevitably make a choice between different platforms. At present, the final ending of this mobile development platform will be formed, but no matter the result of this mobile development platform What is developers can enjoy more and better services because of competition.
Is the demand for mobile talent?
When the programmer is a symbol of high salary. However, today, the programmers engaged in the procedures in the PC have become more and more than the past, which makes them start looking for every opportunity to find the glory yesterday. When the mobile application development is gradually entered, many programmers developed on the PC have an illusion, as if mobile application development is a brilliant road yesterday. On the other hand, the mobile development itself is covered with a layer of wise veil. Illusion is intertwined with mystery, making people more and more unclearly unclear the true face of mobile development while eager to understand mobile app development. People are most concerned, maybe mobile development will cause high demand for programming talents. However, the sound from the industry indicates that the peak of the demand for programming talents will not arrive. For the three services of the mobile app, the SMS platform is already very mature, so unless the policy changes, the demand for developers on the SMS platform will not have too much change. The WAP application is low due to the low technical content required, so the number of demand for technicians is also very limited. Only KJAVA areas may need to use a lot of technicians. Ma Qi is considered: "Mobile application is currently needed to apply planning and packaging, so talents in this area may need more." So, mobile application development in the short term is not caused Programmer's demand peak.
On the contrary, Pan Guanghe, Palm Chinese company put forward different opinions. He believes: "From the perspective of development, the number of mobile devices will far exceed the number of PCs. Taking the mobile phone as an example, the domestic user's mobile phone has 18 months to replace, and smartphones will become a development. Trend. In 5 ~ 7 years, the number of domestic mobile phones will increase from now 3 billion to 5-700 million. So many mobile phones must have the corresponding number of applications. The demand for mobile development technology talents will certainly grow accordingly. From the long run Look, the mobile development of the enterprise application market will become very broad. After the insurance salesman who needs to move the office, after using the PDA or smartphone, you are hard to let him run a laptop. However, insurance salesman needs to be a corporate-class mobile application for insurance companies. Considering the possible pirated issues where general mobile apps may exist, programmers engaged in enterprise mobile apps have a beautiful future, for them, most Important, it is to find the direction of the industry. "Beijing Pocket Pearl Information Technology Co., Ltd. Technical Director Wu Shou Lei supported Pan Guanghe's opinion, he believes:" The development of mobile application industries will be divided into three phases. In the first At a stage, due to the popularity of mobile technology, various traditional applications began to migrate on the mobile platform, so this phase is called the cloning stage; in the second stage, the application suitable for mobile is really started; in the third At the stage, the market will enter maturity, and the mature marker is the popularity of enterprise applications. "Although the peak of mobile development talents did not arrive, the employees of mobile development believed that mobile development technology in the current talent market Personnel are not looking for. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that when the mobile application market really goes to mature, the gap of mobile application development technology talents will be.
Regarding the lack of mobile development technicians, a single person engaged in mobile development gives different answers. Almost everyone recognizes a point of view: Mastering mobile development technology is not difficult, difficult is to understand the understanding of industry knowledge, and understanding and grasp of mobile development unique technology. Huaxia Anye Technology Company Technology Director Zhou Wei believes: "A qualified technician engaged in mobile game development needs three capabilities. The first is to understand the technology, learn from Java technology to learn J2ME; second, to be understood Game; third is the ability to cooperate with art. Mastering J2ME technology is not difficult, but it is not easy to have a lot of games at the same time. Although there are many talents in traditional game industry, they often do not want to go to mobile development. "
Wu Chun Lei said: "One of our applications just developed is 190K. This is too big for many mobile phones, so we will find a way to minus 50K. Later, there are some functions, this application It has grown to 90K, we were forced to let it fall. In fact, in mobile development, the capacity allowed by mobile applications is also greatly subject to the memory of smartphones, and because the hardware improvement will make consumers to you It is getting higher and higher, so this limit will always exist. "About this problem solution, Wu Chunlei gives this answer:" Excellent mobile application developers should be a series of engineers, need to know how to arrange Data structure, how to compress, how to properly organize data, you must use Java language, you must understand the skill of realizing slimming. Faced with the desire to increase consumer, you should know the most functional use of the smallest memory. Now, many The new generation of programmers always develop applications with simple implementation, which must have problems when they are engaged in mobile applications. "
Lift mobile application development, many unnealand developers are often full of mystery. They don't know how to write out how to compile it, do you need to buy a board separately to test these programs. However, in the eyes of the first-line mobile application developers, these problems are very ridiculous. Wu Chun Lei said: "In fact, this is very simple, people engaged in mobile development only need to download a simulator, then compile your code on the simulator. Of course, if the developer is ready to be a certain Type mobile phone development business applications, he must buy a real phone because the simulator and mobile phone have too many differences. Since commercial mobile apps can run on different mobile applications, you need to consider supporting different mobile phones. Standard. In this way, mobile application development is much more than what we have to consider on the PC. "The dynamic sense of mobile app is indeed like a window paper, and there is no longer a mysterious feeling. . If you have developed with Windows CE, you can directly engage in mobile applications. If you are proficient in the Java language, you only need two days to transfer to mobile app development. Make you a student who just came out from the school, as long as you are proficient in the C language in the school, go to the Palm platform and just receive a week of training. Also, developers are more likely to produce sense of accomplishment in the field of mobile development in still not forming. Wu Chunlei explained this: "In the DOS era, I can analyze BIOS, edit the virus, write games, so my sense of accomplishment is high, which makes me eventually enter the computer industry. But now computer Technology has been quite mature, and people are more and more detailed in the computer. You have only wanted to study a system, and there are too many knowledge waiting for you to learn, which makes new people to make achievements. And mobile phone development The situation is different, because it is relatively immature, this is a good opportunity for young people. "
We should notice that on the one hand, the mobile game developed by Japan, South Korea and the United States is in a large number of infused, which means that the gap needed to apply the domestic mobile market is still very large; on the other hand, China Mobile's SMS system is very complete. The underlying development is all made by the Chinese himself, indicating that domestic developers have strong mobile development technology strength. And, mobile application development is still a newer field, and domestic technology and abroad have not too much gap. From this point of view, the prospect of mobile application development will be bright, and with the number of mobile users grow and mobile new technology, mobile application requirements will show more growth, so mobile application development talents demand peak I will definitely come.
Mobile development tomorrow
In 2001, Paul Jacob, US Qualcomm proposed "Wireless Internet> Wired Internet" view. He even thought that one day, people will use mobile phones and laptops when they use mobile phones and laptops. The desktop is time. Paul Jacob was a laugh at the time. However, only three years have been in the past three years, everyone we interviewed believes that mobile development will be full of light. The views of developers and first-line manufacturers have shown that mobile development will make breakthrough progress in quantity and technical depth, and any prediction will be conservative in the face of high-speed development of mobile development.
Wei Qing, director of mobile product departments of Microsoft China, believes that today's mobile development is just the corner of the iceberg, and the part under the water will be destined to be more exciting. His example said that Microsoft's employees wanted to Hong Kong two years ago, in order to facilitate, he wants to download an electronic map on the PDA, and the result is really found online. After going to Hong Kong, I feel that the effect is very good, when he registered this procedure This application was found to be developed by a local company in Beijing. At that time, the company had reached two or 30,000 downloads. Wei Qing further emphasized: "This shows that people have little about mobile development, on the other hand, mobile development technology has become very perfect, and the key is that ISV and partners have developed on existing platforms. Application, for them, not afraid of doing, I am afraid I can't think of. "For developers, what is a very interesting problem in underwater. Current voice and data are still two concepts, but Microsoft has developed SPEECH SERVER, voice and data will no longer be two things. Wei Qing smiled and said: "The definition of Mobile will have a change in the ground in two years. Enterprise-level applications will appear in a large number. The vision of developers should start thinking Speech Server, Exchange Server and Windows Mobile at this moment. What can be created? "
Nokia Forum Business Development Manager Confucius insists that the PTOP function of the mobile phone will be popular, and the mobile phone will no longer be one data is island. Shao Zhengqiang, Senior Manager, China Subcommittee, is emphasized that "the prospect of mobile application development is very broad," for programmers using Java, look at the path of Japan's NTT DOCOMO, you will not imagine Java will develop into one thing tomorrow. Therefore, for non-Java programmers, Java is started today is a good choice. "
Although the enterprise mobile app market is not mature enough, the growth of technology is often divided into two kinds of pulling and pushing, and the tension is the needs of users, and the thrust is the advancement of the technology itself. For mobile application development technologies, although the driving force is not strong in China, the strength of the push is already amazing, and no one is hidden in the laboratory of giant IT companies. As early as 1992, Sybase has developed the first mobile database, and in 2000, Sybase has promoted their mobile business solutions. Mobile application development is no longer limited to operating system levels, databases, middleware, and development tools will poured more from the water, causing new attention.
At present, foreign telecom operators are very concerned with the close cooperation of MSP. Services operators are also constantly innovating application service products. Under the joint efforts of mobile operators and service operators, mobile applications are constantly subdivided, marketing And the terminal link has received unprecedented attention. Under these factors, Japan, South Korea, the United States and Europe's mobile value-added service market is moving forward with amazing speed. Foreign mobile value-added service market has shown rapid development of industrial scale, and the company's application market is expanded. Application products more detailed three major trends.
Today's today is often our development direction of tomorrow, and there are signs that we are in the eve of change. Zhou Hongqiao, Vice President of Cotai, believes that there are several factors that affect smartphone application prospects. The first is the price, the current high-end smartphone is priced at five or six thousand yuan, but to reach the critical mass inflection point, the price of high-end smartphones will drop By 2500 yuan (see mobile phone component cost analysis). This depends on the competition of the market, the increase in mobile phone varieties, and the expansion of market scale and other factors. Secondly, technical progress. This includes 2.5g / 3G network construction, mobile phone CPU frequency, memory, energy saving, UI and other technologies; again is an enhancement of content, services, and data services in the industrial chain. In fact, these factors are moving towards the direction of the development of smartphones, in Nokia, Ericsson, Alcatet, Siemens, NTT DoComo, Fujitsu, etc., surrounded 3G in foreign markets around 3G. In the future, China's 3G market is kicked off. For programmers, no one will forget the transition from the single-machine development to the network, and today, the network development is developing steering wireless mobile app development by wired network. Only programmers who face this shift can we grasp their own destiny tomorrow. Since so far, no one can not see how the embedded application market in the 3C fusion will have a far-reaching impact on the desktop and server market.
