Chapter 1044: Competitive landscape of mobile phone OS

In fact, it is not surprising that Yang Zhiyuan, a veteran Internet geek, came to learn from Wu Tao.

After all, with the recovery of Nasdaq, the Internet industry is gaining the most momentum in the two Internet social networking sites under Wu Tao's name.

In addition, Google, as a rising star of the search engine, is also developing rapidly.

But insiders have heard of it. Google’s original stocks also include Apocalypse investment, and it is said that the share is not small.

It is conceivable that when Google goes public, Apocalypse Investment may be the biggest winner besides the founder.

This must be served.

The schedule in California is trivial and numerous, but Wu Tao pays most attention to only two items.

One is the visits and surveys of chip companies such as Intel, AMD and Infineon, all thinking about connecting with the domestic semiconductor industry.

It's just that these chip companies are the head of the global semiconductor industry, and they have always been noble and glamorous.

Even Wu Tao's identity to visit, and even brought tens of millions of dollars in the beginning of the project, people's attitude is a little unwilling to answer.

In this regard, Wu Tao doesn't force it.

Because there is no way, since you want to learn from others, you have to lower your posture and calm your mind.

However, the visits this week did not have any obvious results.

On the other hand, it is Palm's business.

Driven by Wu Tao, Palm has launched a lightweight operating system that supports multi-threading, and because of free promotion, it currently has a market share of more than 70% in the mobile phone industry.

The market share of handheld terminal devices is even more than 99%!

The rest of the market is controlled by an OS called Symbian, with the Chinese name Saipan.

Of course, the BlackBerry OS on the market and mobile phones without an operating system still occupy a small portion of the market.

However, with the blowout of the mobile phone industry, more and more multinational companies and groups have invested in this area, and everyone understands that smart phones with operating systems are the direction of future development.

For this reason, Wu Tao focused his attention on the Symbian operating system for the first time.

In my impression, the experience of Nokia E71, which used this operating system in the previous life, is still very good.

As a result, I didn’t pay attention to it. I found out that the Symbian system was not an operating system developed by Nokia itself.

It came from the hands of a US-owned company, Saipan, and this Saipan company was jointly funded by Motorola and Nokia, and was founded with the founder of Saipan.

I really did not expect that Motorola and Nokia have already joined together.

As for the recent mobile phone products launched by the two companies, both of them started to use the Symbian system, Wu Tao did not notice.

It was not until he sent someone to buy Motorola and Nokia's new mobile phone experience, that he noticed that the current Symbian system is incomparable to the maturity of the E71 period.

There are even some suspicions of catching the ducks on the shelves.

As a result, the superiority of PalmOS is even more prominent.

Even so, Wu Tao is not sure about the prospects and future of PalmOS.

After all, there is not only the emergence of Android as a potential opponent, but also the existence of iOS, which is against the sky. Thinking about it, people feel that the pressure is not light.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao couldn't help but hope that the guy named Sam could move faster, and strive to make a capacitive screen that supports multi-touch as soon as possible.

At that time, while Android and iOS have not yet appeared, first upload the Palm application.

If it succeeds, then it is the best; even if it fails, it is still a trial, and it will not be too late to switch to the Android camp.

Thinking like this, Wu Tao sat in the study of Irvine Villa and wrote down a few important new features by the way.

For example, the rich graphic element features, operation support features, etc., were resold and sent to the person in charge of Palm Company, Jeff Hawkins, to put him on the research and development agenda.

After all this, Wu Tao stepped downstairs and returned to the backyard to breathe fresh air.

The weather in California has just fallen snow. It's just not big, there are mountains and plains, and there are no traces left. On the grass in this backyard, in some corners out of the sun, there are patches of snow white and chilly.

After moving around for a while, I suddenly heard a noise from the next door.

Wu Tao looked back and saw Molly wearing a black leather jacket, standing in the courtyard, greeting him with a bright face.

"Hey, Wu, look at your expression, in the accident, with thoughts. Do you miss me? Oh, my goodness!"

Wu Tao was speechless for a while.

The joy of reunion was instantly broken by her incomprehensible words.

"Why are you back? You can get away with Huaxia's business?" Wu Tao asked rhetorically.

Molly walked around the backyard and walked into Wu Tao's courtyard and said: "Thanks to you Chinese people, as the Spring Festival is approaching, a lot of business will not be discussed. It seems that the New Year has become the biggest theme of this time."

Wu Tao opened his hand and said, "What's so strange about this. Isn't it the same thing to spend Christmas with you?"

Molly was noncommittal, then changed the subject and asked: "I heard that your inspection of chip semiconductor companies was not going well?"

"That's not the case." Wu Tao felt a bit cold, and began to walk into the villa, saying as he walked: "It's just not that much."

Unexpectedly, Molly chuckled softly: "I have a news, you may be interested."

"Oh?" Wu Tao walked to the bar, turned on the coffee machine, made two cups of coffee, and handed the other one a cup: "Tell me."

Molly held up the coffee cup, pursed her pink lips and said: "I heard that AMD has not had a good life these days, and I am looking for investment."

Wu Tao was taken aback, this was indeed interesting news.

"Of course, AMD's performance can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It is not Intel's opponent at all. So there are not many people willing to invest." Molly said, her tone changed: "Even so, AMD will not fall. Not to mention, Intel alone will not allow AMD to fall down easily in order to avoid antitrust troubles."

Wu Tao made up his mind and said: "I think I can give it a try~lightnovelpub.net~ At this moment, the cordless phone next to the bar rang.

After listening to it, it was Wu Yingying's report call, and the content of the report was the news that AMD was in urgent need of investment.

Although Molly's news channel is slightly faster, fortunately, Apocalypse's channel in California is not bad.

So Wu Tao immediately gave Wu Yingying instructions on the phone to continue to follow up.

Watching Wu Tao give orders, put down the phone, Molly held her chin, her eyes were so absorbed, she forgot to drink the coffee in hand.

Until the call hung up, Molly came back to her senses and said: "If you really bought shares in AMD, and AMD's chip foundry is all done by TSMC, you are really confused."

Wu Tao was taken aback, and immediately laughed nonchalantly: "If so, it is not me who should be worried, but Zhang Zhongmou!"
