Chapter 527: This Is Not a Tablet

After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, Pang Jun returned to the live broadcast room, frowning and looking at the bee tablet on the table, full of reluctance.

After the show is done, he has to return the things, if it is those ordinary products, he naturally will not have any reluctance, but the board in front of him is deep in his heart, and he doesn't want to return it like this. But it's a pity that this thing is not his, and he still knows the reason that it is not difficult to borrow and borrow again.

And this channel for borrowing equipment is also greatly related to his job, and it can't be neglected.

IT professional media have a variety of free testing machines, naturally do not have to worry about equipment problems, except for a few limited products that are difficult to obtain, most of the time they need to worry about the layout problem. On the surface, the website is not like newspapers and magazines that have a limit on the number of pages on paper, nor like radio and television that has a limit on the duration of broadcasting, and each web page is individual and can be added indefinitely, but in fact, the "layout" of the website is also limited, because only easily accessible information can be disseminated as widely as possible.

In order to facilitate netizens to obtain information in a timely manner, it is necessary to set up eye-catching hyperlinks on the homepage of the website and related locations to attract the attention of netizens. Naturally, there is no shortage of headlines and pictures, and there is naturally less content that can be placed on the page.

Moreover, for IT websites, on the one hand, they need articles about hot products and hot topics to attract popularity, and on the other hand, they have to make a living by various advertorials, which naturally limits the content and proportion of articles they publish. They can't be like the four major portals of geese, pigs, wolves and foxes, for the sake of color o search engine optimization and pile up this kind of dense homepage full of text links, what if it triggers the dense phobia of netizens?

The limited homepage space, half of which is occupied by popular product reports and half by promotional advertorials of various domestic equipment renovations, has become a common phenomenon of various "professional" IT media.

As an emerging force, the private evaluators also have problems that plague them.

They don't have any space restrictions, but they do have more financial restrictions. These equipment are cheap two or three hundred, expensive five or six thousand, the procurement cost is still considerable, even if you can get a "free" machine through the 7-day no reason return rule of the ground cat and tengu, but after buying it and returning it as it is after the evaluation, the equipment has to go back and forth on the road, and the speed of express delivery limits the frequency of use of this trick.

And for the sake of the popularity of the show, the machines used for evaluation are usually various popular models in order to attract as many viewers as possible.

Lao Pang doesn't have these troubles, as the contracted anchor of Bee Film and Television, he is already half of his own person, so he naturally has some exclusive employee benefits to enjoy. There is a mobile phone gas station a few minutes away from his home, and he can borrow any equipment he needs directly, and some new products that are sold in large quantities or have low production can also be asked to buy them, just like a reader asks the library to add a certain publication.

As for how to deal with the equipment he replaced, it was not something Pang Jun needed to know.

What he doesn't know is that not every mobile phone gas station has such a device borrowing business, only a well-developed and influential evaluation program producer like him will have such treatment, and other novice anchors on the road will continue to add luster to the name of "Second-hand East".

Tearing off the small diapers that had just been pasted and throwing them aside, Pang Jun looked at the tablet on the table and the keyboard or other accessories with some reluctance, and did not immediately put them all in the box and put them away.

Purely from the appearance,This tablet is not too special,A tablet plus a detachable keyboard,Separate is an ordinary tablet、The design of a thin and light laptop is combined,In fact, it follows the concept of the so-called Ultra wave OK ultrabook,Since the previous year, Intel has strongly promoted the concept of ultra wave OK ultrabook。

However, Pang Jun knows that the two are not the same thing, after all, ultrabooks have a core core and run the win8 system, which is essentially a laptop that can remove the screen and turn it into a tablet.

And the tablet in front of him uses Bee's own bee heart processor, installing Bee 5, Elephant 2 dual system, and supports 3 seconds of hot switching, it is actually a tablet that can be turned into a notebook.

Speaking of which, this new product attracted his attention before because it was the world's first tablet equipped with a lollipop, but when he actually experienced it, he found that the sugar taste was very light.

Lollipop has just been officially released,The attention of Android camp manufacturers is busy adapting it to the new mobile phone,Even the hot-selling main mobile phone of the year may not be able to get push updates,Tablets with sales of only a few million or even tens of thousands of thousands of tablets naturally have to stand behind in various ways,The result is that the bee soy sauce crowd grabbed a headline,The first lollipop tablet in the world was launched,But it is a deeply customized version,And it is a dual-system device,Bee uses the "lollipop" element to do marketing gimmicks The intention is so red fruit... …

Interestingly, this is also the first Android device officially launched by Bee.

Bee once launched a "brush king" that can brush Android, iOS and WP, but after Microsoft and Apple solemnly sent lawyer's letters, the related products were canceled. After all, this is just to win marketing gimmicks, and it is enough to make a noise to attract attention, and no matter how much you do it, it will be more than worth the loss if you really go to court.

In addition, Bee has never launched a device equipped with other systems, but is quietly updating the BeioS1 and BMAROM for third-party equipment, the latter has become the current Elephant System EOS and Baby Elephant System EOS (for low-end machines).

It seems that because the share of its own system is not high enough, Bees' attitude towards the Android camp is imminent and wavering, and it is not at all like Apple to draw a clear line with confidence. Until now, Apple does not have an Android APK under its name, and Bee Software is not only one of the largest Android app publishers (Bee Store for Android), but also the largest Android app developer, with thousands of high-quality Android apps ported from the Bee platform, and they also contribute a lot of code to the Android project.

As an open source software, Android can be modified and used at will, but it must continue to be open source, and there are many open source codes on BMA and later the elephant system that have been borrowed by other manufacturers, and later some codes have been added to the new version of Android.

After actually experiencing it for most of the day, Pang Jun had to admit a fact, the elephant is really the elephant of the bee, this system that he nicknamed the sugar elephant has been modified very thoroughly, from the UI interface to the system application changes are particularly large, whether it is the lollipop-flavored mate day alde private GN design language, or the various good or bad features of Android are gone, leaving only an elephant system that can run Android applicationseos2.

Luckily, it's still an excellent system, and it's very comfortable to use, whether it's tablet mode or laptop mode.

The D397 looks very much like a laptop in its fitted state, with the same thin and light screen and heavy keyboard. However, there is no motherboard in its keyboard, but a large polymer lithium-ion battery is stuffed, which is actually a multi-functional power bank that supports wireless charging and USB peripherals, which can not only power the "screen" part through magnetic connection, but also wirelessly charge the bee device placed on the keyboard, and can also connect standard USB peripherals such as wired keyboards and mice, so that it can be indirectly connected to the tablet body.

The existence of this keyboard power bank is equivalent to allowing the tablet to have two tubes of electricity, which greatly extends the battery life, and at the same time, the existence of the keyboard also makes text input and RTS, and touch BA games easier and more convenient.

However, in Pang Jun's view, these are just icing on the cake, and the biggest highlight of this tablet is in itself, not on this large power bank.

The Pad version of the B5 and E2 systems is very much in line with his mind, and the UI interaction logic is indeed designed for horizontal screen operation, unlike ordinary Android systems and applications, which mostly prioritize the mobile phone interface.

In Pang Jun's view,The biggest reason why Android tablets can't be sold is that they are not enough tablets,Although the number of Android camp applications has already surpassed several other major platforms,But the number of applications specially adapted to pads is not enough,Not only can it not compare with iOS and bee platform,Even win8It is better than Android boards。

It's not that the mobile version of the app in portrait mode is not unusable, it's just a little awkward. The system can rotate the screen direction to adapt to the application, so as to turn the tablet into a large mobile phone, or with the help of third-party software to force lock the interface direction to adapt to the tablet, but these two methods are only to reach the level of use, after all, because of the difference in screen size, the interaction mode of the tablet and the mobile phone has obvious differences, the former has a larger screen, more emphasis on two-handed operation, and the latter emphasizes one-handed operation. Moreover, forcibly locking the screen direction may also lead to the problem of UI misalignment and loss, which is even more cheating.

This is a vicious circle, with few tablet users and tablet users getting used to making do with mobile apps, resulting in app developers being too lazy to develop dedicated pad apps, which in turn makes users continue to get used to tablet apps.

And there is also such a vicious circle on Winpad, equipped with x86win8 system makes them fully compatible with traditional EXE applications, and you can directly use an almost endless number of applications on the PC platform, without worrying about the number of "applications". As long as you connect a keyboard and mouse, these applications will work exactly the same on a tablet as they would on a PC of the same level.

On the surface, this is a trick to attack and retreat, with a low-power x86 processor and touch screen, of course they are tablets, connected to the keyboard and mouse, they are computers, can be used as a small low-power PC or notebook, it seems that both ends can be taken care of, but in fact this is a bad choice with two empty ends.

As a tablet, its exclusive applications are very rare, and most of the time you can only plug in a keyboard and mouse to pretend to be a notebook, and as a notebook, the performance, especially the storage capacity, is very poor. In order to open up the market, Intel and Microsoft have come up with low-cost and free tricks, the former subsidizes the price of CPUs and sells them at a reduced price, and the latter launches a free forced NG version of Win8.

This makes WPAD an inexpensive and genuine PC solution that appeals to many light PC users. Anyway, the performance of ATOM,It's enough to cope with daily office、Internet access and video needs,It's even more comfortable to use it to push the little yellow game,Even if it's a popular online game like LOL and CF,As long as you don't dislike the image quality scum frame card, it's not impossible to play。

However, WPAD is going down the wrong path, and since most users are used to using it as a mini PC, there are naturally not many developers willing to develop mobile applications for it.

Moreover, they can be turned into notebook designs when plugged into keyboards, of course, they will have a substitution effect on low-cost notebooks, and in the end it will be Wintel itself, after all, Atom is discounted, and the forced NG version of the system is free, and the profit contributed is far less high than that of low-cost notebooks.

This is not a problem for bees, because now they don't have notebooks and PC product lines in their hands at all, these two roles can naturally only be played by other products, PT game consoles add USB interface to plug in keyboard and mouse camera cameo PC, tablet connected to keyboard part-time notebook, and the effect is not bad.

In fact, at the beginning, most of the Android tablet manufacturers have launched matching keyboard holsters, but soon users found that Android's support for physical keyboards is very tricky, so they quickly abandoned this cumbersome and useless peripherals, and returned to ordinary protective holsters or simply ran fruit, but it was Win8 tablet here because of the "just need" of the keyboard and mouse of the exe application, and the keyboard holster or magnetic keyboard has been regarded as the standard.

In order to make up for the lack of mobile applications in the tablet state, OEM manufacturers have launched a win8+ Android dual-system tablet with Microsoft's acquiescence and Intel's push, known as win8 for office and Android for entertainment. However, their abandoned treatment did not fully meet expectations, after all, Android applications have endless small problems on ARM tablets, and there will only be more problems on WPAD with different CPU architectures.

In contrast, the compatibility problem of the B5+E2 combination of bees is much smaller, after all, the bee heart processor is still ARM architecture, and at the CPU instruction level, bees, Android and iOS are compatible with each other. The only trouble is the texture compression format of the GPU, and the bee-based Android game naturally doesn't have to worry about compatibility issues, and the rest is fine.

Repeating this in his heart, Pang Jun finally persuaded himself to put it in a box, change his clothes and shoes and go out. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
