Three Threats Android 4.0 Encounters after Breaking, Hootoo Reports

According to the breaking news occupying in several main

media, Google has taken the stage in Hong Kong to make the

next version of Android OS, nicknamed Ice Cream Sandwich.

Better known as Android 4.0 appears to offer a massive

redesign to the user

interface and adds a

plethora of new

features. So here's

what's new: first,

we're seeing a new

notification menu, as

well as NFC-enabled

Android Beam, video snapshots and an improved task manager.

ICS also includes a fancy unlocking method called "Face

Unlock," which uses facial recognition to ensure strangers can't

use your phone without permission. Ice Cream Sandwich also

includes enhancements in almost every native app within

Android itself.

However, No matter how fantastic the Face Unlock is, how

much improvement the Android camera and gallery features

achieve, or the 1.2 GHz processor, there are still some potential

fatal threats existing as the prosperity and competition of

electronic market and internet business.

Here we would like to share three main threats the latest

Android OS needs to face after debuting.

First of all, Apple

It’s the most obvious that Apple iOS would be the Top 1

competitor due to the neck-and-neck achievements in

softwares, and both of them are the major giants to share our

electronic and gadget market nowadays. Delay to October 19,

2011 not October 11 to leak on this new operating system is a

wise option for Google, because Google needs to avoid the

International Apple Wave caused by Steve Job’s passing away

and iPhone 4S, which sold more than 4 million within the first

week.

Secondly, Microsoft

As the biggest and richest internet company, Microsoft has

already prepared tons of patent traps ahead of Android 4.0.

This is an inevitable dilemma because Google is also a patent-

based company, while Microsoft, no less to mention Apple,

Oracle needs to protect their patent from infringement. For this

sake, many manufacturers may prepared more options for

them.

At last, Aliyun

Aliyun is a branch office of Alibaba.com, which is famous by Ali

OS, the first national internet platform to support data center

and mobile terminal. The most prominent features of Ali OS lies

in the 100 GB Cloud Space, in which users can use thousands of

hundreds of Cloud Apps without download and enjoy various

Cloud Services like Maps, Emails, in addition, users can connect

tons of web service to mobile phones via Ali OS. Because of the

‘open to and share with the public’ features, Aliyun.com should

be another threat for Android.
