Android Rises in Mobile Web Usage, iPhone Stagnates, Declines - 0 views

  • Worldwide, it doesn't look so bad for Apple yet; it's still the king of the hill by a long shot, steady at about 50%. Android is making inroads, though, now accounting for almost a quarter of the world's mobile web usage.
  • And now we get to the interesting part: the United States. The top-notch Android phones have been available in the US for longer than in other countries, and carriers there have been pushing them longer. This shows: in the US, Android has almost overtaken the iPhone OS (which excludes the iPod Touch!) in mobile web usage - 42% vs. 44%.

  • In November 2009, the iPhone OS accounted for 55% of the mobile web usage in the US; now it's down to 44%. In the same timespan, Android grew from 27% to 42%. The US can be seen as a test bed for the rest of the world, since Android hasn't been pushed as much outside of the US as it has been inside of the US. In Apple's defence, though, the arrival of the iPad in the coming weeks may reverse the declining trend of the iPhone OS. And, as noted, the iPod Touch is not included in these figures. All in all, it's clear that Android is no longer just a speck on the horizon. Google's mobile operating system is a serious threat to Apple's iPhone, which could further explain why Apple decided to sue HTC. Jobs might be drinking coffee with Schmidt in a nicely staged press moment, but in the meantime, the '80s and '90s are happening all over again for Apple: the PC business model beating the Mac one.

  • Some of the highlights from the report include: Smartphones accounted for 48% of AdMob’s worldwide traffic, up from 35% in February 2009, fueled by heavy application usage on iPhone and Android devices. Although the share of feature phone traffic in AdMob’s network declined from 58% to 35%, the absolute traffic from feature phones still grew 31%.  This means that while the overall traffic from feature phones is growing, traffic from smartphones and mobile Internet devices is growing faster. The mobile Internet device category experienced the strongest growth of the three, increasing to account for 17% of traffic in AdMob’s network in February 2010.  Although the vast majority of traffic in this category comes from the iPod touch, the category also includes devices like the Sony PSP and Nintendo DSi.

Solidot | Android使用率上升，iPhone停滞不前 - 0 views

  • 对于苹果为何要起诉HTC专利侵权有很多猜测，其中一个猜测是苹果对使用Android系统的手机数量上升而感到了威胁。根据最新的移动Web使用统计，苹果的担忧不无道理。 大型移动广告公司AdMob，跟踪了点击他们广告的移动手机型号和操作系统。数据显示，iPhone使用率停滞不前，已经呈现下降颓势；Windows Mobile仍然是微不足道；而webOS和RIM看来也不是令人乐观——注意这些数据是用户使用智能手机上网的比率，并非是实际销售数量。在2009年11月，iPhone OS占到美国移动Web使用的55%，而现在则下降到了44%，在此期间，Android从27%增加到了42%。也就是说目前iPhone OS和Android不分伯仲，差距极小。 根据Statcounter的统计，过去一周中国搜索引擎市场，百度和Google的起伏也十分大。Google最高一天达到了49.52%；百度最低为48.72%，最高59.51%。

    "Ever wondered about Google play store UI which is built around cards. Card is nothing but a single row item of ListView or GridView. As depicted below, card can be of various sizes and can be either app card, movie, books, games or app suggestions card or birthday card or even it can be a simple list/grid item too. The main benefit of designing app with card UI is it gives consistent looks throughout the application, doesn't matter whether it gets loaded in mobile or tablet."

shared by Vincent Tsao on 23 Jun 10 - Cached
  • Most Android Smartphones released this year will receive the Android 2.2 Froyo. If you have a 2009 HTC Magic, then you might receive the Android 2.2 Froyo as well. France’s 2nd largest largest mobile carrier SFR officially announced the Magic will be receiving the Froyo update.
  • T-Mobile USA said the myTouch 3G, basically the same thing as a HTC Magic would be updated with Froyo a bit later this year. So it looks like the old Magic will be receiving the new Google OS in the next few months.

  • 没错，Google 的移动平台是当前最聪明的利用开源来驱动商业议程的实现
  • 虽然早期饱受质疑，Google 的 Android 移动平台已经在移动行业得到了营运商和手机厂商的广泛支持，仅剩固执的诺基亚。Android 从 08 年的一款机型发展到 10 年的 50 多款，发展之快让绝大多数的业内观察家们吃惊
  • 话说回来，Android 用开源来做市场宣传，非常成功的搅乱了整个行业，导致了诺基亚对 Symbian 的收购以及 Windows Mobile 的全面崩溃（不过译者觉得 iPhone OS 4 的多重任务机制的发布让 WP7 真正成了杯具帝）。不过更重要的是，利用开源的名号和 Google 的魅力，Android 吸引了成千上万的开发者，虽然 Android 并不能让开发者们赚到很多钱，而且 Android 手机的数量不到苹果产品的十分之一（连支持收费的国家都比苹果少6倍）。

  • 借用亨利福特在 Model-T 相关的书里的一句话：“任何人都可以自由挑选 Android 的颜色，只要那是黑色”（anyone can have Android in their own colour as long as it’s black）。Android 是一个绝好的商业案例——展现一家公司是如何用开源来赢得关注和社区参与，而且同时保持一个非常严密的商业运作。
  • 进化的速度. Google 对 Android 的创新的速度是移动行业内绝无仅有的，他们在 18 个月里发布了四个大版本。想在 Android 上面做文章的 OEM 厂商只得紧跟 Google 的步伐（这里想起了移动杯具的 OMS），不然就跟不上新功能的发布和 bug 修复。Nexus One、Droid、G1 和其它带有 Google体验应用的手机给 Google 提供了创新的测试场

      HTC也很杯具，2.1直到几周前才完全ready，而这时2.2也将要井喷了
  • 手握 Android，Google 的目标是为自己产生收入的服务提供一个稳定的平台。在当前，这个广告生意。但未来，Google 的目标在语音服务（几十亿没有数据服务的用户）和 Google Checkout（比如变成移动领域的 visa 卡）。但不管 Google 的终极目标是什么，我们应该意识到 Android 和 Windows Mobile、Mac OSX 或 PalmOS 相比，并没有开放多少。Android 是用开源来驱动商业议程的最聪明的案例之一。Android 骨子里并没有我们潜意识里所灌输的那么多不作恶思想。

How QR Codes Can Grow Your Business | Social Media Examiner - 1 views

QR codes Business trends

shared by Vincent Tsao on 18 May 11 - No Cached
  • Consumers want immediate access to what’s relevant and QR codes are being used to make that possible.
  • Bar codes are linear one-dimensional codes and can only hold up to 20 numerical digits, whereas QR codes are two-dimensional (2D) matrix barcodes that can hold thousands of alphanumeric characters of information. Their ability to hold more information and their ease of use makes them practical for small businesses.
  • When you scan or read a QR code with your iPhone, Android or other camera-enabled Smartphone, you can link to digital content on the web; activate a number of phone functions including email, IM and SMS; and connect the mobile device to a web browser.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • There are other software companies that have created 2D codes that work much like QR codes, with Microsoft being the most notable.  Microsoft developed their own proprietary software to create codes known as MS tags.  Unlike QR codes, which can be read by a number of different readers, MS tags can only be read by the Microsoft Tag Reader.
  • Calls to Action – After building a community, the next logical step is to mobilize them to take action.   What are you trying to accomplish?  You can alternate special offers by simply linking your QR codes to new landing pages, and you can combine then with email opt-ins to build your list.
  • SEO and SMO – Earlier this month I wrote an article on social graphs where I discuss how web objects such as images, music clips, and videos add valuable content to your social graph.  QR codes enhance both your search engine and social media optimization.  Now you can increase traffic to those searchable objects to further optimize them by encouraging more sharing.
  • Social Proof – To help build a community offline, it can be helpful to use your vibrant online communities as social proof of your influence and expertise.  As one example, you can use QR codes to link to specific blog posts that have earned an abundance of activity.

android library tutorial

    For a library to be compatible with Android, it can only reference classes available as part of Android and other classes implemented specifically in the library itself.Android Libraries can contain Java classes, resources, and other project information, but not assets. They can reference other libraries and leverage third party JAR files. They have Android manifest files just like regular Android projects. However, they differ from normal Android projects in an important way: they cannot be compiled into their own application packages or deployed onto devices. They can also not be exported as standalone JAR files. Once referenced from an Android project, the library components are incorporated into the Android application that references them at build time and added to the application package. There is no need to declare the component as the library classes are rolled into the APK directly. In terms of compatibility, the Android project must have an API Level higher than or equal to the API Level set in the Android library.
