Google 在日本東京舉行 Google Mobile Revolution 會議,而 Google 執行主席 Eric Schmidt 發表了有關 Android 增長和手機市場上的專利權訴訟的意見。
Eric Schmidt 預計 Android 會成為亞洲地區最為採用的流動裝置平台。他預計今年在亞洲地區會有30 億的流動裝置啟動,雖然當中大部分為 Feature Phones,但稍後智能手機將改變這情況。而在中國和印度市場,每個月就有一千萬的新增流動裝置用家。
Every month, China and India are adding 10 million mobile subscribers and we expect to see amazing growth in markets with lower penetration rates such as Indonesia and the Philippines.
Smartphones used to be just for the elites in Western markets. But now that prices are coming down, we can make this technology more accessible for the 5 to 6 billion people
We have seen an explosion of Android devices entering the market and, because of our successes, competitors are responding with lawsuits as they cannot respond through innovations, I’m not too worried about this.
