Google updates Android interface

Jha co-CEO of Motorola has announced that the company will no longer be MOTOBLUR development and brand promotion. The so-called MOTOBLUR, referring to Motorola's Google Android system in the self-developed user interface, and the present system of production Android handset manufacturers, large have similar self-developed interfaces to allow consumers to feel the difference between the brand under the same system.

It is said that due to Google's system in the next version of Android3.0 deliberately to a certain limit, reducing interface development interface. Motorola had led to "give up" MOTOBLUR.

Android 3.0 Limitations lot

"We have asked head office related matters." South of Motorola China, the people are told reporters that U.S. companies have not yet received notification of cessation of development MOTOBLUR, but it certainly is carrying MOTOBLUR models will still continue to produce using the Dell xps m1330 battery interface.

This seems inconsistent with current models manufacturers Android strategy. If you abandon MOTOBLUR, consumers see the Motorola Android phone will be dressed in "MOTO" coat of Google smart phone only. Therefore view, Motorola had to do, because the upcoming Android 3.0 system, will no longer be allowed to implant their own mobile phone brand the user interface too much.

Google did not respond positively to this news, but revealed some of the Android 3.0 version information, has much to "end" the current Android phone interface "Hundred Flowers" situation was intended.

It is understood that in October this year launched Android 3.0 minimum operating system is configured to 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM, can well support the 4-inch and above screen, the support for resolutions up to 1280 × 760. More importantly, the system will reduce the interface development interface, to change into a unified user interface.

The action affected more than just a business of Motorola. The same system using Android, HTC interface called Sense, called Samsung TouchWiz, Sony Ericsson, there are two, are called Timescape and Mediascape, while the domestic brand association called "Le PhoneUI".

Back interface control

"Self-developed user interface, on the one hand to highlight the characteristics of their products, on the other hand facilitate the implantation of partner products, such as stocks, news, advertising." Internal head south, a video Web site have disclosed to the media as carriers custom software business, like embedded.

Thus, the terminal brand keen to develop their own user interface will be forgiven. Who controls the user interface, who will take the initiative to push control of the mobile phone window. With the rapid expansion of third party applications camps, mobile phone sales doubled, the open source Android "Money King" gradually become clear, Google seems to want to recover the control the Dell xps m1730 battery.

"Whether or Windows system, Android system, users use the HTC phone, see all HTC sense." HTC chief marketing officer told the South have told reporters that broke out, sense the interface stresses people-oriented, is HTC's fortune. In fact, Motorola is just like that Dell xps m1530 battery. It is learned, and the sense treated as HTC, Motorola has MOTOBLUR interface development has put a lot of cost, which makes today's "give up", looks more like the "abandoned."

According to information website Win7 news reported recently, Windows 7 in the performance of energy conservation concern by many people in the industry. Mindteck is engaged in embedded software development and consulting Dell Latitude E6500 battery services. The company recently released study shows that using the Windows 7 operating system than the old XP PC to save a large amount of energy costs, an average of 25% energy saving than the XP loss, equivalent to 30-55 per PC laptop battery per year can save dollars.

Today's computer systems, hard disk performance has become the biggest bottleneck affecting machine performance. In the high demand for components Windows7 system to optimize the hard disk will naturally become the object of opening the hard drive through AHCI mode, you can upgrade to some extent the performance of the laptop battery hard disk.

Under normal circumstances, the hard drive in the BIOS by default for the native IDE mode in order to get the best compatibility. If this mode is installed Windows7, then change the hard drive in BIOS to AHCI mode, you can not access system, need to re-install system Caixing. Is there a way without reinstalling the system, open the hard disk on AHCI mode? Of course!

Tips: What is the hard disk AHCI mode?

Serial ATA AHCI is the acronym for senior master interface, which is dominated by Intel, a Dell Latitude E6500 battery technology that allows the storage driver to enable advanced SATA features such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and hot plug. Open AHCI SATA hard drive to play after the performance potential, in theory, increase about 30% of the hard disk read and write speed.

STEP1: After clicking the start menu, select the menu "Run" section. In the run part of the input box, type "regedit", press Enter to open the Registry Editor.

STEP2: Open the Registry Editor, the entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControl \ SetServicesMsahci" key. In the right window, double-click the name for the "Start" project, will pop up a dialog box to change the default parameters from 3 to 0. Click "OK" and save, restart the computer.

STEP3: Restart computer, enter BIOS, in "Integrated Peripherals" page, to "SATA RAID / AHCI Mode" changed to "AHCI" (names have different nuances of BIOS options).

Save the restart, after entering the system will automatically install the AHCI driver. After installation will be asked to reboot again, restart, hard disk AHCI mode opens.

Written in the last: hard drive change to AHCI mode, the system starts the velocity changes little. However, when making copies of large files, the speed from the original 60MB / S upgrade to 71MB / S, about 20% performance increase the laptop battery. Hard disk in the system score in Windwos7, also from the start of the 5.9 upgrade to 6.5 points. So hard to open AHCI, the effect is good.

Fortune: RIM BlackBerry restore rivers and lakes would use the new version

August 3, "Fortune" article points out that the smartphone market is shifting in favor of Apple and Google's direction, but the BlackBerry maker RIM hope that it will have a chance to reverse the situation.

RIM is widely expected to launch in Tuesday with a slide-out keyboard, touch screen smart phones. That product is likely to BlackBerry models Slider 9800, in the past few weeks, a large number of Slider 9800 pictures have been leaked on the Internet.

It may also release new version of RIM smart phone operating system, BlackBerry OS6, it will provide a network for the BlackBerry browser, and similar to the iPhone and Android mobile phone page.

On the surface, RIM does not seem to need a new laptop batteries product and operating system, BlackBerry is still in the smartphone market leader, according to comScore, said the BlackBerry smart phone users account for 41.7% of total number of users. The second largest share of almost 2 times Apple iPhone is based on Microsoft and Google's smart phone operating system, the total share of smart phones 3 times.

However, in recent quarters Blackberry stopped growing. Apple and Google's products easy to use, third-party application support, touch screen technology and web browsing function, and so are more than a BlackBerry. iPhone and Android phones cooler than the BlackBerry.

In addition, the new iPhone and Android phones have introduced new Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail and calendar functionality.

Thus, RIM to keep pace with competitors to jump in the pace.

IDC application development software project manager Al Hilwa that, RIM's sales performance is not bad, but those results still room for Acer UM09B7D battery improvement. From the perspective of growth, RIM's performance is not satisfactory to the. It is now the greatest difficulty is the increasingly fierce market competition, keep pace with the development environment. RIM to be shifting their focus to the consumer market.

Some analysts suspect that RIM's ability to adapt to changes the Acer UM09B7C battery. BlackBerry e-mail sending and receiving the most prominent features, but to some extent, this is a weak BlackBerry. Because in addition to e-mail features, consumers do not know what a BlackBerry can be used.

iSuppli analyst Jagdish Rebello, chief communications system, said from a creative perspective, RIM is the poor performance of a company. Its background and Apple and Google different, RIM's strength in the corporate market is indeed very powerful, but it is difficult to obtain in the consumer market, a similar result.

RIM has more than half of business users are not active on the reform of the Acer UM09B7C battery enterprise. This is good news for RIM. Many in the industry are aware, enterprise IT departments to accept the new technology, the speed is notoriously slow. Although some companies have started using iPhone and Android phones, but BlackBerry is still the largest business smart phone market, the brand, which provided for RIM to make the necessary changes to remain competitive in the room.

Development of an iPhone and Android can be matched with the product may not be as difficult as before. In order to enter the consumer market, RIM has taken over the past few years, many important initiatives, including the introduction of low-cost models such as the Pearl and Curve. Input operation for many frequent Acer UM09B7D battery users, the new BlackBerry with keyboard and BlackBerry messaging service as important.

RIM needs to solve some big problems, but it is not a small share of the consumer market. It's smart phone business history than Apple and Google's smart phone business history should be longer. Some people think that if RIM has introduced a competitive new products, then consumers will definitely swarm back to the embrace of RIM.
