谷歌强力整合生态系统对抗苹果
戴着谷歌眼镜的跳伞运动员准备跳下
谷歌(Google)的主题展示安排得满满当当,包含了一长串重大的软件发布公告、满满一盒免费硬件,以及一段跳伞空降到旧金山莫斯克尼西会展中心屋顶的实况视频。通过这次展示会,谷歌正式亮剑,公布了迄今对苹果(Apple)计算和娱乐生态系统发起的最强劲挑战。 演说持续了两个多小时,其中的亮点如下: • 谷歌Play:谷歌对安卓市场进行了全新升级,以对抗苹果iTunes。谷歌Play将提供60万个应用程序,还将提供电影、电视、书籍和杂志等内容。 • The Nexus Q,售价299美元的保龄球形状媒体中心,插在电视上,可以通过无线与扬声器相连,其作用是访问谷歌Play内容的家庭网关。Nexus Q能同时由多台Android设备控制,很有派对风范。 • Nexus 7,售价199美元的7英寸屏平板电脑,由华硕(Asus)为谷歌打造,其外形(和价格都)更像亚马逊(Amazon)的Kindle Fire,而不是苹果iPad。Nexus 7将内置谷歌Chrome浏览器。 • 果冻豆(Jelly Bean,又名Android 4.1):增加了与苹果智能语音助手Siri类似的语音控制功能;图片分享功能得到升级,新名称为谷歌Beam;搜索和导航功能也有所强化;整个系统还进行了一次名为“花生酱”的升级,整体性能得到了不小的提升。 • 谷歌眼镜:谷歌的未来产品,目的是将计算机放置入一副眼镜中,计划于2013年初开始面向开发者销售,价格为1,500美元。 |
In a jam-packed keynote that included a long list of significant software announcements, a box full of free hardware and a live-streamed skydive onto the roof of Moscone West, Google (GOOG) unveiled its strongest challenge yet to Apple's (AAPL) computing and entertainment ecosystem. The highlights of the two hour-plus presentation: • Google Play, a rebranding of Android Market in which 600,000 apps have been enhanced with movies, TV shows, books and magazines to compete with Apple's iTunes. • The Nexus Q, a $299 bowling ball-shaped media player that plugs into a TV, connects wirelessly to speakers and serves as a gateway to the content on Google Play. Can be controlled party-style by several Android devices simultaneously. • Nexus 7, a 7-inch $199 tablet built for Google by Asus that looks (and is priced) more like the Amazon (AMZN) Kindle Fire than an Apple iPad. Comes with Google Chrome built-in. • Jelly Bean (A.K.A. Android 4.1) enhanced with Siri-like voice controls and dictation, an improved photo-sharing feature called Google Beam, improved search and navigation, and a bottom-up performance upgrade called Peanut Butter. • Google Glass, the company's futuristic computer-in-an-eyeglass-frame, which will be available for sale to developers in early 2013 for $1,500. |
