24 May 10, the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer – Nokia announced the strategic partnership program with the search engine – Yahoo, Nokia will provide Yahoo with exclusive maps and navigation services, while Yahoo will exclusively supply the Nokia mobile phone e-mail and instant messaging services, is expected in the second half can be introduced next year to promote global.

This made for some time known as the Victory Plan (Project Nike) in cooperation with the case, is Nokia’s new tactics to counter Apple. Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said: “We’re excited to expand the reach of our best-in-class Mail and Messenger services, bringing personalized experiences to more people across the mobile Web, particularly in emerging markets where we are seeding the next generation of Yahoo! users. At the same time, we believe Nokia’s strength and continued investment in maps and navigation will greatly enhance our existing products, enabling us to focus on areas that are core to our business.”

From both the company’s position is obviously a win-win solution, we complement each other, then it also increase its own advantages, but why they prompted their partnership program? the main reason is that they face a huge threat from other operation in their own area, while Nokia is world’s leading mobile phone, but Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android, Blackberry and other smart phone tracking force, coupled with the failure of the Nokia N97 smartphone experience, so he had to increase its mobile phone service function; Yahoo, the free services of Google also increase the market shared, and Nokia just added to Yahoo maps and navigation services to its lack of business.

However, this collaboration can bring the two companies still too early to say how much impact, but from past experience, just good enough for service is enough to break in some of them to be successful, but the Nokia and Yahoo’s cooperation plan is lacking variety and functions that users have the breakthrough, therefore, I believe that this cooperation will bring some significant benefits.

Long-awaited Apple new product Tablet PC – iPad finally appeared, CEO Steve Jobs described as this “magic revolutionary product” for the Internet, playing computer, reading books, listening to music and watching TV could revolutionize the way. Jobs also described the iPad is between smart phones and laptops between the “third kind” products.

Is this new product following iPhone’s trend, become another hot buy products or premature, but I believe that iPad for the publishing industry bring real reform, the iBooks Store capable of changing the online marketing books and magazines in the way because the review Apple’s track record, only it can effectively provide a winning platform, so that both buyers and sellers benefit, such as iPod’s introduction, coupled with Apple Store platform, changed listening music habits also are used to online purchase songs; and if iPhone launch and the Apple Apps Store solve the software vendor can not from the smart phone platform on the issue of fees, but also because software vendors know that from the Apple Apps Store are profitable, thus encouraging them to develop more excellent software.

Amazon’s Kindle last year began a global epidemic, which has proven e-book market has matured, the iPad is precisely to break into the e-book market, and its advantages: first, the pricing, Apple proposes 499 U.S. dollar, the comparison Kindle price 259 U.S. dollars, but only monochrome without other functions, thus iPad becomes very valuable; second, the platform, Apple Store has been a viable and effective platform for e-commerce, Music and software can be successful, I believe that books are the same; third, the e-book market, the market is reported that the iPad to allow publishers to customize the e-book retail price with the Apple 73 sharing of profits, can the new book price increased to 12.99 U.S. dollars to 14.99 U.S. dollars, but Amazon has conventional puerile tactics, to the e-book price greatly reduced, best-selling books are sold only 9.99 U.S. dollars, making the book dealers in the sharing of seriously affected, therefore, we believe booksellers in general tend to be more support for Apple over there.

The most criticized feature of Apple iPad isn’t running Flash in web pages, as iPad configuration 10-inch screen, watching the screen is a normal resolution of the web page, no user accept the those big-screen to see a mobile version of pages. Many web site have already been modifying specifically version to fit for the iPhone that without Flash, so that it can run on the iPhone.

Flash running on Apple machine easily to crash

Why Apple iPhone / iPad platform don’t support Flash? Usually there have the following argument: First, from a technical point of view, the main reason is the poor performance of Flash, Flash often suddenly cause to increase the load on the processor, or even cause machine hang, so the first generation iphone Apple had already released ” Effectiveness not as hard put complete version of FlashPlayer “; second, from commercial considerations, because Flash is already a very good tool to develop applications, if the Apple iPhone or iPad supporting Flash, then its software development platform have a greater impact, because the Internet already has too many Flash programs, and most of them are free, but Adobe announced in its new version of FlashCS5 to begin to support the Flash output into the iPhone or iPad platform with the program, hoping to reach a certain extent, Apple’s consensus.

Introduction of new technology to increase performance

I think the chance of Apple yield to Adobe is very low, because more and more support for HTML5’s website, and through the W3C, Mozilla and Opera together to promote, then Vimeo and YouTube has started offering a test version of the HTML5 video player little tested as long as know, Flash and HTML5 version of YouTube in playback performance gap is very large, so it is no wonder that Apple want to push HTML5 to replace Flash.

Apple iPad official arrival on April 3, in the United States for sale, the first day had been sold three hundred thousands, officially launched the world’s iPad hot, iPad has been sold in Hong Kong two day later, from the original 499 U.S. dollars (or HKD3,900), land sales in Hong Kong Dollars 6800, but still many buyers, it can be expected iPad will affect the future of mobile devices technology and sales methods.

When everyone in the IT sector has also been iPad last week, the news flooded the occasion of Steve Jobs Apple boxing rudder published in its headquarters in California, a preview of iPhone OS 4 conference, reveal the next generation of iPhone’s new features, and OS 4 also can be installed on the iPad, the impact of the OS 4 will be no less than iPad, there are 3 main points:-

First, to support multitasking, this is believed to be the industry and most users are long-awaited features , also are one of the iPad was the shortcomings of the study disease, and now finally implemented on OS 4;

Second, social gaming platform GameCenter, as computer Facebook, the game host XboxLive, GameCenter is to fill the phone and mobile device, blank, its features include social games, interactive invite friends, games began operation so that this service will affect the game industry’s order;

Third, advertising platform iAd, mobile phone software for Apple’s mobile advertising platform born iAd , so that iPhone software developers 10 billion daily ad revenue opportunities resulting from exposure, and some profit sharing arrangements adopted on June 4, developers can get sixty percent of advertising revenue, which will be attracting more people join the software development work on the iPhone, so software is now the number has exceeded the Android, iPhone’s position more secure and, most importantly, it allows mobile phone software is also eager to expand the Google advertising market difficulties.

The importance of Internet technology in recent years, various industries have been closely related to the recent outstanding performance which, to the number of Tencent (0700) and Alibaba (1688), nearly three months has accumulated three Zhisi Cheng rise, which are evidence As long as there is a good concept and excellent execution capability, Internet business opportunities are still endless.

Spoke of the world’s best Internet companies, of course, the number of Google (Google), Google last Thursday bulletin today (2009) Q3 earnings report set, its revenue growth far exceeded Wall Street expectations. In addition, the company’s operating income in Q3 this year, 1.64 billion U.S. dollars. Income last year was 12.9 million. Google shares since mid-March this year, the cumulative increase over 84%.

As a leading Internet company Google, it’s every move will be the subject of concern to the industry, and recent hot topic of conversation is Google Wave, Google this month launched a public test, then test the same as Gmail, to be invited to have a test account Is Google Wave exactly? If it is the e-mail with a substitute, if there is a new generation of communications platforms, it is complex e-mail, blogs, collaboration platform, Facebook, Wiki on one, it started from the first day of R & D, its ambitions have been great to change the Internet means of communication, a message from the previous one communication, instead of every piece of communication events, includes all the elements: such as people, things, after the foregoing reasons, all the messages on the management as a shared event with permission can also update, and conduct a real-time sharing or instant meeting request, the most important feature is that it can interface the application to a share of event, which will be an event of the with unlimited content, imagine that one day received an e-mail, there is a happy farm within the game, your friend has the same message, playing a few rounds, and now invite you to join, would be a very interesting!

Google Inc. last week launched Google Maps Street View of Hong Kong version, which is following in Japan, Taiwan and Singapore, the fourth launch of the street view service in Asia, at the same time, iPhone and Android versions simultaneously launched the service with the global satellite positioning, since then I believe it would be difficult to get lost in Hong Kong now.

Google Street View service was first launched in May 2007. Start from the beginning, only 5 cities in the United States to provide this service has been developed to cover most of North America and Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and some Asian cities.

Google is very big ambition of this scheme, all the way since the ultimate goal of Google is to the world’s information stored on their server, this great project, certainly not a place, they use Google search technology, most of the Internet directory information and store well made, then in turn a collection of electronic library re free to share, but to the number of the most useful, of course, Google Maps, together with street view, imagine, the server has been saved massive data, how exactly Google images of Hong Kong’s streets are taken and stored?

So that is large with a light film to high-quality photographic equipment and technology, and equipment used in the shooting, the main part to nine different directions towards the composition of the camera can cover the 360 ° wide, equipped with a global satellite positioning systems and laser distance measuring instrument, add the street filming the car, then driving all Hong Kong street at least once, the version can be made now, so take to complete the streetscape around the world, only Google have this types of financial resources and determination.

But the world has no free lunch, Google can take this technology to increase its advertising sales, during the users to using this services, the customer’s information will be appear into the street image itself, the user can not help see the images from the streets to the ad’s name and related information.
