Android公司：公開電話平台 Like most heavy cellphone users I have a love hate relationship with both the device and the wireless service.最喜歡沉重的手機用戶我有一個愛與恨的關係，雙方裝置和無線服務。 Love because it gives me freedom from a physical location and thus is an essential business enabler for entrepreneurs.愛，因為它讓我從一個自由的物理位置，因此是一個重要的業務發展創造條件的企業家。 Hate because it restricts my freedom in many ways that are designed solely to make more money for the handset and communications provider:恨，因為它限制我的自由在許多方面是經過特別設計，純粹是為了賺更多的錢用於手機和通信服務提供商：

  • 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)手機被鎖定到特定的服務提供商的網絡（消費者簽署剝奪的權利，一個競爭市場的一小部分資助對手機的前期）
  • restricted ability to run applications (eg no Skype for Blackberry or iPhone)受限制的能力，執行應用程式（例如沒有Skype的Blackberry或擁有）
  • plans that are designed to extract the most money possible from entrepreneurs (especially in Canada, collusion between the “competetitors” ensures high margins)計劃的目的是提取物最多錢的可能，從企業家（特別是在加拿大，官商勾結“ competetitors ” ，確保了高利潤率）

    • So thanks to因此，感謝 Google and others Google和其他 for supporting the development of an “open” platform for phones which threatens to transform the market:為支持發展的一個“開放式”平台的手機，這威脅到變換市場：

    Next step: we need openly accessible wireless networks for such phones.下一步：我們需要公開的訪問無線網絡，為這類手機。 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).目前唯一真正開放的網絡，是在互聯網上只有如果你能負擔得起一個未經過濾的和合理的對稱的最後一英里的規則了許多消費者的互聯網產品，包括無線數據（這是成本高昂，在加拿大） 。 Widespread internet access is only somewhat accessible if you are a hotspot hacker extraordinaire.廣泛的互聯網接入，只是有點容易如果你是一個熱點，黑客extraordinaire 。

    Maybe, just maybe或許，只是或許 Google’s plan to bid for the former UHF 700Mhz spectrum Google的計劃，爭取前700 MHz的超高頻頻譜 and make it accessible to 3rd parties is connected with Android project.並使其進入第三當事方是與Android公司的項目。 Just maybe ;)只是也許; ）

    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公司是獲得了很多炒作了差不多一年，我們才可以期望看到什麼，而有其他的手機操作系統爭奪的地方，作為比較開放的無線互聯網平台上。 Om Malick just published a review of the market for mobile platforms關於malick剛剛出版的檢討市場為移動平台 pointing out alternative mobile Linux platforms, and recently指出替代移動Linux平台，以及最近 Alistair introduced us to Nokia’s N810 tablet阿利斯泰爾我們介紹了諾基亞的n810片 which shows potential as an open mobile communications platform even if it doesn’t have an integrated cellphone.這表明潛在的作為一個開放的移動通信平台，即使它沒有一個綜合的手機。 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.它將會有趣地看到，未來平台的舉動，微軟，目前一個比較開放的平台，作為移動平台去，和RIM公司，其嚴格限制黑莓平台是一個最喜愛的與企業和電子信箱，有癮。
