ExtendLogic CEO David Cao gave speech about iPhone 3.0 VS Android 1.5 at FountainBlue meeting of “Mobile Applications: Hot Technologies and Business Models” on 11th May.
Below are some notes quoted from FountainBlue Meeting Summary(The notes below are copyrighted by FountainBlue in 2006-09 and all rights are reserved.
*******************************************************
“There has been phenomenal progress over the past year or two on the mobile
application business, from the paradigm-shifting emergence of the iPhone and
all the touch-screen and user interface functionality it enables, to new
business model options opened up through Apple’s approach to iPhone
application sales, to the emergence of cloud computing and its implications
for mobile applications, to the ongoing advances in bandwidth, developer
communities, and technology in general.
In thinking about mobile application technology development, consider the
following factors:
* There are choke points between the mobile device and the base station and also between the base station and the cloud, and therefore opportunities for developers and providers to address real market needs.
* The network bandwidth constraints caused by pipeline and sharing issues are being addressed with technology advancements, so bandwidth will soon no longer be as much of a barrier for mobile applications.
Entrepreneurs should consider the implications of this for applications and markets. Which bandwidth-intensive applications would this make possible?
* With that said, bandwidth-intensive applications such as video would be better suited for countries such as Japan and Korea and parts of Europe.
In the US, there are many inconsistencies where different areas have different levels of network access. Consider these factors as you strategize about your mobile application business model and markets.
* With 70% of the iPhone app revenues going to developers and 30% to Apple, Apple’s game-changing approach to selling apps has carriers thinking creatively and scrambling to see how they can get their share of the $1B plus market. You will see cell phone manufacturers, providers, and others experimenting with their own twists to the new business models. The big players such as Google’s Android, Apple’s iPhone, the open source Symbian option, etc., will likely dominate, but the game is still in play and Palm’s PRE, for example, may surprise us!
* There will be an explosion of new applications as more iPhones and other similar devices get into the hands of customers. Costs-per-app, which have gone down from around $6 each to around $1 each, may still trend down, but the volume of users will continue to make this a fertile opportunity for the right applications, developers, organizations, and providers, like Apple.
The panel advised on some hot opportunities ahead in the mobile application space:
* The touch screen revolution initialized with the iPhone will open up new possibilities for mobile applications with richer user interface capabilities. Consider not only how your application can take advantage of what’s happening in this space, but also the broader question of how are you interacting with your phone now and how COULD you be interacting with your phone with this new functionality?
* Flash applications, especially for Location Based Services, will be hot.
* Gaming will be hot, perhaps games which allow interactivity between players.
* Special buttons may appear on devices which make it easier to play games – perhaps a joystick for example.
* The techno-philic tendencies, health consciousness, and financial security of the aging boomers population may trigger the development of hand-held devices for medical diagnostics

What are your opinions regarding iPhone 3.0 VS Android 1.5?
Posted by Extend Logic on Sun, May 10, 2009
MLogy – Google’s Android 1.5 is facing a tough competition in catching up with iPhone 3.0 in US, but not everywhere else. China absolutely is Google’s biggest hope.
China’s mobile released its version of mobile operation sytem recently, which is based on Google’s Android platform. With more than 400M subscribers, China Mobile failed to made agreement with Apple for its iPhone. As the result, China Mobile might be the largest operator for Android soon.
Besides OMS, several manufactors had reported plans to release Anroid based phone in China, of cause, not only for China Mobile. This makes China the biggest potential market for Android and most likely will not face the same level of competition it faced in US with Apple.
With a large resources pool of expereinces Java developers, Android platform is far more popular than iPhone in the development communities. Not only that, the Chinese operators and government all like the open source nature of the platform, so they can take over the control. I met lots of developers who are excited with Android development while I was in China one month ago. All of them were Java developers.
