Android公司：公开电话平台 Like most heavy cellphone users I have a love hate relationship with both the device and the wireless service.最喜欢沉重的手机用户我有一个爱与恨的关系，双方装置和无线服务。 Love because it gives me freedom from a physical location and thus is an essential business enabler for entrepreneurs.爱，因为它让我从一个自由的物理位置，因此是一个重要的业务发展创造条件的企业家。 Hate because it restricts my freedom in many ways that are designed solely to make more money for the handset and communications provider:恨，因为它限制我的自由在许多方面是经过特别设计，纯粹是为了赚更多的钱用于手机和通信服务提供商：

  • handsets are locked to a specific service provider’s network (consumers sign away the right to a competetive market for a small subsidy on the handset upfront)手机被锁定到特定的服务提供商的网络（消费者签署剥夺的权利，一个竞争市场的一小部分资助对手机的前期）
  • restricted ability to run applications (eg no Skype for Blackberry or iPhone)受限制的能力，执行应用程式（例如没有Skype的Blackberry或拥有）
  • plans that are designed to extract the most money possible from entrepreneurs (especially in Canada, collusion between the “competetitors” ensures high margins)计划的目的是提取物最多钱的可能，从企业家（特别是在加拿大，官商勾结“ competetitors ” ，确保了高利润率）

    • So thanks to因此，感谢 Google and others Google和其他 for supporting the development of an “open” platform for phones which threatens to transform the market:为支持发展的一个“开放式”平台的手机，这威胁到变换市场：

    Next step: we need openly accessible wireless networks for such phones.下一步：我们需要公开的访问无线网络，为这类手机。 Currently the only really open network is the internet and only if you can afford an unfiltered and reasonably symmetrical last mile which rules out many consumer internet products including wireless data (which is cost prohibitive in Canada).目前唯一真正开放的网络，是在互联网上只有如果你能负担得起一个未经过滤的和合理的对称的最后一英里的规则了许多消费者的互联网产品，包括无线数据（这是成本高昂，在加拿大） 。 Widespread internet access is only somewhat accessible if you are a hotspot hacker extraordinaire.广泛的互联网接入，只是有点容易如果你是一个热点，黑客extraordinaire 。

    Maybe, just maybe或许，只是或许 Google’s plan to bid for the former UHF 700Mhz spectrum Google的计划，争取前700 MHz的超高频频谱 and make it accessible to 3rd parties is connected with Android project.并使其进入第三当事方是与Android公司的项目。 Just maybe ;)只是也许; ）

    To be fair, Android is getting a lot of hype almost a year before we can expect to see anything, while there are other mobile phone operating systems vying for a place as relatively open mobile internet platforms.要公平， Android公司是获得了很多炒作了差不多一年，我们才可以期望看到什么，而有其他的手机操作系统争夺的地方，作为比较开放的无线互联网平台上。 Om Malick just published a review of the market for mobile platforms关于malick刚刚出版的检讨市场为移动平台 pointing out alternative mobile Linux platforms, and recently指出替代移动Linux平台，以及最近 Alistair introduced us to Nokia’s N810 tablet阿利斯泰尔我们介绍了诺基亚的n810片 which shows potential as an open mobile communications platform even if it doesn’t have an integrated cellphone.这表明潜在的作为一个开放的移动通信平台，即使它没有一个综合的手机。 It will be interesting to see the next platform moves of Microsoft, currently with a relatively open platform as mobile platforms go, and RIM, whose tightly restricted Blackberry platform is a favorite with enterprise and e-mail junkies.它将会有趣地看到，未来平台的举动，微软，目前一个比较开放的平台，作为移动平台去，和RIM公司，其严格限制黑莓平台是一个最喜爱的与企业和电子信箱，有瘾。
