Apple, Google两股新生的力量必将改变旧的手机王朝的格局,他们要么变革,要么被推翻,历史证明群众的力量是巨大的,如果这些传统的手机统治者真的认为Google的OHA不过SoSo, 他们迟早会吃大亏的。
Symbian, Nokia, Microsoft and Apple downplay Android relevance
Palm's not the only company that isn't afraid to speak out on the Open Handset Alliance.Nokia, Microsoft and Symbian made it most clear today that they don'tperceive danger from the new initiative and corresponding Android OS,with Nokia stating it quite bluntly: "We don't see this as a threat."Microsoft was a bit more on the defensive. "It really sounds that theyare getting a whole bunch of people together to build a phone andthat's something we've been doing for five years," said Scott Horn,from Microsoft's Windows Mobile marketing team. "I don't understand theimpact that they are going to have." The Symbian folks stated theobvious: "If Google was not involved the industry would have justyawned and rolled over," said John Forsyth of Symbian. "We take itseriously but we are the ones with real phones, real phone platformsand a wealth of volume built up over years." UIQ was a bit moreoptimistic about the OHA, saying that "Generally, it's positive for theindustry." Apple wasn't as commital either way. "We have a greatrelationship with Google and this doesn't change anything," said Applespokeswoman Natalie Kerris. "They are certainly an important partnerfor iPhone."
