9月19日微軟CEO鮑爾默與HTC CEO周永明共同發(fā)布新品8X與8S 微軟CEO史蒂夫·鮑爾默(Steve Ballmer)站在臺上，對手中的Windows Phone 8智能手機大加溢美之詞。熟悉的場景，熟悉的贊美，這一幕似乎讓人穿越到了半個月前。同樣是在紐約切爾西區(qū)，同樣是兩款新品WP 8手機，只是那次是諾基亞的發(fā)布會。 一個月內(nèi)，微軟陣營的硬件廠商先后發(fā)布了基于新系統(tǒng)WP 8的旗艦產(chǎn)品：8月30日，三星率先推出4.8英寸大屏ATIV S；9月5日，諾基亞發(fā)布Lumia 920與Lumia 820；9月19日，HTC同樣以8X與8S兩款產(chǎn)品出擊高端和中端市場。
9月5日，鮑爾默和諾基亞CEO埃洛普在新品發(fā)布會上 鮑爾默出現(xiàn)在了諾基亞與HTC的發(fā)布會現(xiàn)場，以他標(biāo)志性的大嗓門和激情洋溢的演說為合作伙伴助陣，與諾基亞CEO史蒂夫·埃洛普(Stephen Elop)及HTC CEO周永明分別熱情合影。鮑爾默不斷強調(diào)著WP系統(tǒng)的過人之處，贊美著手中新品手機的獨特設(shè)計。 正如鮑爾默之前所說，這是微軟”史詩般“(Epic)的一年；在智能手機領(lǐng)域開始真正發(fā)力，顯然是微軟未來戰(zhàn)略中最為關(guān)鍵的一環(huán)。只是微軟WP陣營內(nèi)，不免又是一場硬件混戰(zhàn)。 三星、HTC與諾基亞是微軟陣營的三駕馬車。其中，三星橫跨Android、WP以及自家的Bada三大平臺，HTC立足于微軟與谷歌兩大系統(tǒng)，只有諾基亞專注于微軟WP陣地。三星三心，HTC兩意，只有諾基亞一心一意跟著微軟走。 相對于埃洛普多次強調(diào)微軟與諾基亞的戰(zhàn)略合作關(guān)系，HTC CEO周永明在今日發(fā)布會上不斷示好微軟。”我們與微軟的合作關(guān)系可以追溯到Windows Mobile時期，是微軟最為持久的合作伙伴”。 HTC最初以微軟WM起步，憑借Android的先發(fā)優(yōu)勢崛起，他們打造了首款A(yù)ndroid手機，也是谷歌自有品牌Nexus 1的制造商。最輝煌時期，HTC曾是全球第二大智能手機廠商，市場份額高達(dá)18%，甚至一度在美國市場占據(jù)首位。 但與蘋果的專利糾紛讓HTC大傷元氣，機海戰(zhàn)術(shù)讓這家中國臺灣制造商失去了特色，最重要的盟友谷歌似乎也更多地與三星合作，HTC遭遇著數(shù)個季度的業(yè)績下滑與虧損。HTC迫切需要轉(zhuǎn)變戰(zhàn)略，而再度發(fā)力WP平臺就是一條振興之計。 “WP顯然已經(jīng)成為主要移動生態(tài)系統(tǒng)之一，有能力對抗全球其他智能手機平臺，”周永明在講話中不斷看好微軟平臺前景。 鮑爾默也在回應(yīng)著周永明的好意， “WP陣營真正的明星產(chǎn)品(Hero Product)，無與倫比(Incredible)的拍照功能”。鮑爾默對HTC 8X的贊美之詞，顯然讓HTC非常受用。打開HTC主頁，8X的產(chǎn)品介紹邊就是鮑爾默的評價“8X和8S標(biāo)志著微軟與HTC合作的重要里程碑”。 “獨特用戶體驗”(Unique Experience)，諾基亞也是如此形容自己產(chǎn)品。智能手機市場已經(jīng)成為一片紅海，硬件配置幾乎趨同，似乎英語中的形容詞也顯得那么匱乏。“不可思議的”，“無與倫比的”，“幾乎完美的”，這些因蘋果發(fā)布會開始泛濫的詞匯不斷出現(xiàn)在各大智能手機廠商的發(fā)布會上。 除了諾基亞的獨有軟件服務(wù)，三駕馬車使用的微軟WP 8系統(tǒng)并沒有太多不同。與Android陣營一般，微軟WP陣營也陷入了硬件大戰(zhàn)：各家主力機型配置大體相當(dāng)，沒有鶴立雞群者，也沒有明顯的短板。雖然都沒有宣布定價，但預(yù)計也會在同一區(qū)間。 高通驍龍S4的雙核處理器成為了標(biāo)配，1GB的RAM，屏幕都是康寧的金剛玻璃材質(zhì)，設(shè)計做工也都可稱精美。三星ATIV S用了鋁合金，諾基亞920背部弧形設(shè)計，HTC 8X也采用平滑流線的設(shè)計。HTC甚至與諾基亞一樣玩起了多種彩殼的色彩路線。 外觀設(shè)計都不錯，硬件配置趨于一致，那么產(chǎn)品差異在于何處？三星ATIV S亮點在于4.8英寸屏幕與2300mAh的電池，HTC的主打是拍照與魔聲音質(zhì)，而諾基亞920的殺手锏是超靈敏觸摸屏與PureView影像技術(shù)。或許這些亮點會成為三家產(chǎn)品宣傳的關(guān)鍵詞。 隨著HTC再度發(fā)力微軟陣營，尚未成熟的WP陣營，已然開始了內(nèi)部爭斗。在這個領(lǐng)域，HTC最大的對手就是諾基亞，今日發(fā)布的8X與8S，顯然會與Lumia 920與820正面競爭。 |
