Google 公布并购 Motorola Mobility 的计划后,Android 用家最关心的其中一个问题,就是 Nexus 系列亲生仔会否由 Motorola 来接手。Nexus One 由 HTC 代工,而 Nexus S 就由 Samsung 负责,往后会如何呢?
Goolge 的 Andy Rubin 就表示现行 Nexus 的造法不会改变,而 Motorola 并不会有优待。
Andy Rubin 约略讲解了 Nexus 系手机的合作过程。
每年在接近圣誔的时间,就会挑选一间手机厂商合作,开发来年的 Nexus 手机。Google 会和手机厂商一起组成开发团队,也会包括其他部件的公司代表,会在 9 至 12 个月的时间研发新的 Nexus 手机。
Andy Rubin 表示不会改变现有做法。并购后,Motorola Mobility 会是一个独立的业务。在 Nexus 系列手机上,Motorola 仍需跟其他厂商竞争,经挑选才可成为新 Nexus 手机的制造厂商。
We have this strategy where we have this Nexus program, and we have this lead device strategy. That strategy has worked quite well to help focus the team.
What we do is that we select each — around Christmastime of each year — we select a manufacturer that we work very closely with to release a device in that time frame. That includes, also, semiconductor companies and all of the components that go in the device.
Essentially the teams huddle together in one building. They jointly work in these development efforts — they go on for nine to 12 months. And ultimately at the holiday season, or right before it, devices pop out that are based on this effort.
We don’t expect that to change at all. The acquisition is going to be run as a separate business. They will be part of that bidding process, and part of that lead development process. And obviously Android remains open to other partners to use as they are today.
