Android tablet savior status shakes PC makers to win Win8

According to foreign media reports, Android 3.0 was originally regarded as a personal computer factory to the iPad counterattack savior, but the first Android 3.0 tablet Xoom listing does not seem to get much response, and other computer industry for Android tablet development is not as good as Expected success. It is understood that after a bitter battle with Android, PC factory seems to be turning to hope that the next generation of Microsoft operating system Windows8 may be launched next year.

Android's success in replicating the success of the smartphone market to the tablet market seems to be not as easy as imagined. Compared to the Microsoft operating system, it will do a big update every few years, and the new version of Android will be launched too frequently. Different from Microsoft's new operating system, the compatibility issues will be resolved before the launch and quality control will be implemented. The launch of new versions of Android is always a headache for the computer industry. It must take a lot of time to re-adjust.

There is also the patent offensive that Microsoft started to launch, which is another part that makes PC manufacturers worry. In addition to the previous HTC, Inventec and Hon Hai face Microsoft's patent litigation issue. The industry believes that for other companies using the Android operating system, follow-up may also face Microsoft's patent litigation, or must pay the relevant costs.

In addition, the fact that Android 3.0 does not adopt full open source code also displeases PC makers. It is generally believed that the delay of some flat-panel listings is affected by the change of Android 3.0 open strategy.

Therefore, people in the industry believe that they will not necessarily continue to follow Android after the development of the Tablet PC, and pointed out that the combination of Microsoft and ARM may make them expect more.

Although it seems that Windows is not as good as Android in the tablet PC market, the PC industry has said that they are very welcome for the combination of Windows and ARM, and they are optimistic that the Tablet PC market will bring a lot of lethality. What can be imagined is that for the PC operators who have been accustomed to Wintel camp operating mode, the combination of Windows and ARM is bound to allow them to save a lot of effort in development.

However, despite this, the current Windows8 launch has not yet reached an exact timetable. It is understood that prior to COMPUTEX, Microsoft will release some new information first, and the fastest possible chance is to see the Beta version early next year. Windows8, but the final launch of the RTM version may have to wait until the second half of next year.

In other words, before this, in addition to Hewlett-Packard, RIM and other companies with their own operating systems, other companies may still have to pin their hopes on Android. In practical terms, major manufacturers have not stopped expanding their recruitment of Android talents.
