![]() 9月19日微軟CEO鮑爾默與HTC CEO周永明共同發(fā)布新品8X與8S 微軟CEO史蒂夫·鮑爾默(Steve Ballmer)站在臺(tái)上,對(duì)手中的Windows Phone 8智能手機(jī)大加溢美之詞。熟悉的場(chǎng)景,熟悉的贊美,這一幕似乎讓人穿越到了半個(gè)月前。同樣是在紐約切爾西區(qū),同樣是兩款新品WP 8手機(jī),只是那次是諾基亞的發(fā)布會(huì)。 一個(gè)月內(nèi),微軟陣營(yíng)的硬件廠商先后發(fā)布了基于新系統(tǒng)WP 8的旗艦產(chǎn)品:8月30日,三星率先推出4.8英寸大屏ATIV S;9月5日,諾基亞發(fā)布Lumia 920與Lumia 820;9月19日,HTC同樣以8X與8S兩款產(chǎn)品出擊高端和中端市場(chǎng)。 ![]() 9月5日,鮑爾默和諾基亞CEO埃洛普在新品發(fā)布會(huì)上 鮑爾默出現(xiàn)在了諾基亞與HTC的發(fā)布會(huì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng),以他標(biāo)志性的大嗓門和激情洋溢的演說為合作伙伴助陣,與諾基亞CEO史蒂夫·埃洛普(Stephen Elop)及HTC CEO周永明分別熱情合影。鮑爾默不斷強(qiáng)調(diào)著WP系統(tǒng)的過人之處,贊美著手中新品手機(jī)的獨(dú)特設(shè)計(jì)。 正如鮑爾默之前所說,這是微軟”史詩(shī)般“(Epic)的一年;在智能手機(jī)領(lǐng)域開始真正發(fā)力,顯然是微軟未來戰(zhàn)略中最為關(guān)鍵的一環(huán)。只是微軟WP陣營(yíng)內(nèi),不免又是一場(chǎng)硬件混戰(zhàn)。 三星、HTC與諾基亞是微軟陣營(yíng)的三駕馬車。其中,三星橫跨Android、WP以及自家的Bada三大平臺(tái),HTC立足于微軟與谷歌兩大系統(tǒng),只有諾基亞專注于微軟WP陣地。三星三心,HTC兩意,只有諾基亞一心一意跟著微軟走。 相對(duì)于埃洛普多次強(qiáng)調(diào)微軟與諾基亞的戰(zhàn)略合作關(guān)系,HTC CEO周永明在今日發(fā)布會(huì)上不斷示好微軟!蔽覀兣c微軟的合作關(guān)系可以追溯到Windows Mobile時(shí)期,是微軟最為持久的合作伙伴”。 HTC最初以微軟WM起步,憑借Android的先發(fā)優(yōu)勢(shì)崛起,他們打造了首款A(yù)ndroid手機(jī),也是谷歌自有品牌Nexus 1的制造商。最輝煌時(shí)期,HTC曾是全球第二大智能手機(jī)廠商,市場(chǎng)份額高達(dá)18%,甚至一度在美國(guó)市場(chǎng)占據(jù)首位。 但與蘋果的專利糾紛讓HTC大傷元?dú),機(jī)海戰(zhàn)術(shù)讓這家中國(guó)臺(tái)灣制造商失去了特色,最重要的盟友谷歌似乎也更多地與三星合作,HTC遭遇著數(shù)個(gè)季度的業(yè)績(jī)下滑與虧損。HTC迫切需要轉(zhuǎn)變戰(zhàn)略,而再度發(fā)力WP平臺(tái)就是一條振興之計(jì)。 “WP顯然已經(jīng)成為主要移動(dòng)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)之一,有能力對(duì)抗全球其他智能手機(jī)平臺(tái),”周永明在講話中不斷看好微軟平臺(tái)前景。 鮑爾默也在回應(yīng)著周永明的好意, “WP陣營(yíng)真正的明星產(chǎn)品(Hero Product),無與倫比(Incredible)的拍照功能”。鮑爾默對(duì)HTC 8X的贊美之詞,顯然讓HTC非常受用。打開HTC主頁(yè),8X的產(chǎn)品介紹邊就是鮑爾默的評(píng)價(jià)“8X和8S標(biāo)志著微軟與HTC合作的重要里程碑”。 “獨(dú)特用戶體驗(yàn)”(Unique Experience),諾基亞也是如此形容自己產(chǎn)品。智能手機(jī)市場(chǎng)已經(jīng)成為一片紅海,硬件配置幾乎趨同,似乎英語(yǔ)中的形容詞也顯得那么匱乏!安豢伤甲h的”,“無與倫比的”,“幾乎完美的”,這些因蘋果發(fā)布會(huì)開始泛濫的詞匯不斷出現(xiàn)在各大智能手機(jī)廠商的發(fā)布會(huì)上。 除了諾基亞的獨(dú)有軟件服務(wù),三駕馬車使用的微軟WP 8系統(tǒng)并沒有太多不同。與Android陣營(yíng)一般,微軟WP陣營(yíng)也陷入了硬件大戰(zhàn):各家主力機(jī)型配置大體相當(dāng),沒有鶴立雞群者,也沒有明顯的短板。雖然都沒有宣布定價(jià),但預(yù)計(jì)也會(huì)在同一區(qū)間。 高通驍龍S4的雙核處理器成為了標(biāo)配,1GB的RAM,屏幕都是康寧的金剛玻璃材質(zhì),設(shè)計(jì)做工也都可稱精美。三星ATIV S用了鋁合金,諾基亞920背部弧形設(shè)計(jì),HTC 8X也采用平滑流線的設(shè)計(jì)。HTC甚至與諾基亞一樣玩起了多種彩殼的色彩路線。 外觀設(shè)計(jì)都不錯(cuò),硬件配置趨于一致,那么產(chǎn)品差異在于何處?三星ATIV S亮點(diǎn)在于4.8英寸屏幕與2300mAh的電池,HTC的主打是拍照與魔聲音質(zhì),而諾基亞920的殺手锏是超靈敏觸摸屏與PureView影像技術(shù);蛟S這些亮點(diǎn)會(huì)成為三家產(chǎn)品宣傳的關(guān)鍵詞。 隨著HTC再度發(fā)力微軟陣營(yíng),尚未成熟的WP陣營(yíng),已然開始了內(nèi)部爭(zhēng)斗。在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域,HTC最大的對(duì)手就是諾基亞,今日發(fā)布的8X與8S,顯然會(huì)與Lumia 920與820正面競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。 |
