My guess about why Apple purchase iCloud domain

I believes that Apple's price to buy back iCloud domain name, is not to solve the so-called "cloud music", but broader, "says the content" and "cloud applications." Apple and Warner signed the cloud services, the cooperation may be video content, but not limited to music. The reason is that:

1 iTune sync experience is bad.

iPad and iPhone sales figures are very impressive, tens of millions, so that PC big brothers exceptionally jealous. It is simply summed up the success of Apple's product innovation, excellent user experience. But iPad and iPhone sync with the computer through the iTune experience makes criticism: in sync on different computers, often the case there will be information loss. So, Apple is an urgent need for a "cloud services" manage content, that is, the contents of the list of authorized users on the remote server, users on different computers without worrying about data loss.

2 online music has become a thing of the past, Apple will not do upside down.

Online listen to music set the iPhone is not the main function of iPad, online music has become so popular nowadays, has become the standard smart phone, listen to music online through the network is not difficult to achieve, Apple do not have to go to war for the online music single deployment of the "cloud services."

3 iCloud prepare for the iTune, but the goal is more likely the next generation of iPad3 the "blue movie" and "high definition e-book."

iPad2 Although thin, but the resolution remains at the level of generation, for iPad3, most likely to achieve a similar span iPhone4 increase screen resolution - from 1024 * 768-2048 * 1536, which will become the first iPad3 Portable Blu-ray HD-class equipment and library books. The deployment of these elements need to download large volumes of data centers, and even cloud services.

4 Apple has been in and film companies.

March, Apple has a number of film and television program production companies to allow iTunes users to content stored on the company server with the consultations. 2006, in Apple's iTunes music store selling Disney's TV show.

In fact, deep roots Jobs and film and television companies: In 1986, Jobs from Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic acquired Pixar, and later released, including "Toy Story" series, "Finding Nemo" and the dozen grossing animated film. January 2006, the acquisition of Pixar by Disney became its wholly owned subsidiary.

Therefore, we analyzed, iCloud not just for the "cloud music" and to prepare, but targeting the "Blu-ray video, high definition e-book" The more promising of the "cloud content", we believe Apple will be and more film distribution companies and publishers, advance deployment of HD resources. In addition, we also look forward to using iCloud list of files that the user can only back up the intelligent synchronization, greatly enhance the iTune sync experience.

Android Problem

Google Android is a high hopes for being the operating system. Android smart phone has quickly climbed to the top of the food chain, and Android Tablet PC has become a major rival Apple iPad. The open nature of Android makes it successful, but because of the lack of overall control Android ecosystem, to application developers to bring confusion, and could eventually pose obstacles to the development of the platform.

U.S. platform and services company Appcelertor January this year, a survey conducted showed that 88% of mobile application developers that, Android is the most open platform, 74% thought that Android "most likely to be used in the future a large number of Internet devices." Nearly two-thirds of respondents as the most long-term prospects for Android mobile platform. However, if careful study, the question becomes "What Android?"

So that with the popularity of Android for application developers to create wealth potential. But the problem is, Android application developers need to first answer one question: How to develop applications for the Android what? Android smart phone or tablet PC Android? Which specific version of the Android? Which application should store and sell them through the application?

U.S. market research firm IDC analyst Al Hilwa also believes that, Android platform, differentiation has become a problem. Choose a wide variety of hardware and software is designed and tested to increase the application complexity, making it difficult to develop an ecosystem compatible with the Android application.Silva believes that even greater concern is that developers will focus on developing the most common functions, and not make full use of advantages of different hardware to optimize the application, which will lower the overall experience, it is difficult to play the potential of Android.

Silva said: "This is not insurmountable problems, but the 'small city', Google needs to take sustained measures to reverse the situation."

Appcelerator vice president of marketing Scott Schwarzhoff pointed out that application developers face a variety of levels of differentiation. First need to deal with the differentiation of the operating system level, including Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7 and so on. After is the differentiation between the different versions of Android, which with different platforms and manufacturers of related hardware. Then is the programming language level (Java and Objectiv-C, etc.), equipment levels (smart phones and tablet PCs) and channel level (Apple App Store, Google Android Applications Android Market and other stores.)

Scott explained: "If the developers do not consider how to better organize and use of teams, and create an integrated mobile architecture to address the problem of differentiation, then in this context the risk in a large mobile development. "

Google has more or less acknowledged, for Android, the open is more like a marketing tool, rather than cultural. IOS compared with Apple, Android is indeed open, but not truly open. Google still controls the source code, and the release of new version of the system time to decide by Google.

Google Android needs to do is more closely with equipment manufacturers to develop some basic hardware requirements, and to promote the upgrade of the operating system Android is more consistent, so that developers will not face so many confusing choices.
