便宜又大碗的組裝廠產品:Android?
老人過去幾次提出Android手機為何會愈做愈大,並不是真正是需要螢幕大,而是因為追求硬體規格,但無法解決手機的電力問題;需要更大的電池。
事實上由A6中央處理器的製作,見“蘋果A6的背景歷史和未來:5億美元的結晶”,也可知道Android廠商無法客製自己需要的處理器,無法把Android系統軟體和硬體整合最佳化。但為了求“規格”的更大更快,讓“數據”贏其他廠,唯一的辦法就是把“大”的零件組裝起來,所以裝置不得不大!
整個Anroid所有的廠商已都變為一個組裝公司。所以會造成一家公司內最頂級的Android手機就是都是公司最大的手機。
這個情況跟過去台灣中華商場流行的PC組裝市場一樣,“便宜又大碗”,至於製造品質就暫時放一旁,因為平價市場以低價和“大”取勝。
SteveJack在Macdailynews的文章,“Why Android phone screens are so big: Inferior off-the-shelf components with an inferior OS”,正式揭漏這個大眾不知的事實。
“The real reason why Samsung, HTC and the other Android phone assemblers have “decided” to offer ergonomically inferior large screen devices is simply because they need more room in the device’s shell to fit all of their off-shelf parts and enough battery to run that inferior hardware and the Android OS. Often Android handsets fail to make it through the day, even with all of that extra battery volume packed into oversized devices.
....The Android handset assemblers and those who settle for inferior wares routinely tout giant screens as a “feature / advantage” over iPhones, but it is in fact nothing more than a cover to provide greater volume inside the shell due to their inability to custom micro-engineer anything close to what Apple can achieve. Note that even with their oversized screens, Android phones cannot seem to deliver all-day battery life. Note also that while making Android phones not just tall, but also pocket-bustingly wide, the Android handset assemblers strive to keep them as thin as they can manage, obviously because they believe there is some merit in the ability to provide a “thin” device. If bigger is better, why isn’t thicker better, too? Because neither too big nor too thick is best for a smartphone. Big enough to see, use, and carry in a pocket comfortably is what is the right smartphone size. In other words: Apple’s iPhone 5.”。
老人:事實上規格已死,代表了組裝硬體(The death of Hardware)已死的概念。紅色中國早已出現美金不到150美元的10寸平板,100美元的7寸平板,其所有的規格都不輸目前所有Android的平板。空機100美元的智慧型手機也即將在中國出現,一樣所有規格都不輸目前Android手機。這情節宛如過去幾年PC廠商的情節,利潤低到保3保4,只是更快到來,PC市場需20年,但平板和智慧型手機市場只要3年!
把Google Map地圖放入iPhone iOS 6
iOS 6 移除了Google Map,許多人不喜歡。事實上也可用Safari的網頁上Google Map,然後將其儲存在桌面上。效果彷如App。事實上“老人與蘋果”也同樣方式可放在桌面上。
1. 打開Safari
2. 上網處打 “maps.google.com”
3. 連上Google Maps網站
4. 出現問話時,接受定位服務
5. 出現目前地圖時,把網頁存入“加入主畫面” (位於第二頁)
6. 加以命名
