Unlike many technology companies' press conferences which were hosted by men at this time, this time the Android company's press conference was hosted by Ivanta himself.
It has to be said that her youthful and beautiful image immediately added a lot of color to this press conference.
This time, Android's press conference was divided into several parts. The first part was naturally the highlight of the press conference, which was the debut of the Android system.
The Android system was operated by Ivanta and demonstrated to the public for the first time.
At this time, the reporters' attention began to shift from Barron and Ivanta to this "novel" smartphone operating system.
"Yes, do you see this beautiful phone in my hand? This is the first smartphone equipped with the Android system. I will use this phone to demonstrate our latest Android mobile phone operating system to you..."
It can be said that before this, Ivanta followed the entire process of the Android system and mobile phone project. During this period, she also tried countless mobile phones and systems and was already very familiar with these contents.
Therefore, her subsequent demonstration of the Android system was very smooth and skillful, leaving a deep impression on people.
Many of the audience had attended the press conference a week ago when Apple launched the iPhone. While watching the conference, they couldn't help but secretly compare the Android system with Apple's iOS system. The two have similarities in terms of control methods, but it is obvious that there are many different details.
As for more differences, they can only be determined after actual operation comparison.
But no matter what, as the second smartphone operating system that fully supports full touch screens after Apple launched iOS, the Android system has successfully aroused the interest of many people.
After demonstrating the Android system, Ivanta also announced that Android will open the Android system and form the Android Alliance. Companies that join the Android Alliance will be authorized to release smartphones based on the Android system.
In addition, the Android Alliance will also be committed to supporting third-party software companies to launch various Android-based apps to enrich users' experience.
Currently, the Android Alliance has two members. In addition to Android, Honor Electronics, headquartered in Taiwan Province, China, will be the first mobile phone manufacturer to join the Android Alliance.
Next, the first Android-based smartphone Mate 1 released by Honor Electronics was showcased.
Before this, the model names of various mobile phones were mostly in the form of numbers or letters plus numbers, such as Nokia's 5110 and 7650, or in the form of one or two letters plus numbers, such as Nokia's N70 and Motorola's V3.
After that, many brands of mobile phones would choose an English word as the name of the entire series. The names would often be easy-to-remember words with four letters and two pronunciations, such as note, nova and Samsung's Galaxy series.
Honor Electronics chose the name Mate as its first Android-based smartphone, and the model they launched this time is Mate 1.
Like iPhone 1, Mate 1 uses a 3.5-inch touch screen and will provide two memory options: 128M and 256M. The body is made of aviation-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy frame and engineering plastics, and is available in black and silver.
One thing that is different from the iPhone 1 is that it does not have a round Home button under the screen, but has two rectangular rounded buttons, namely the Home button and the Back button.
But overall, the Mate 1 still has a simple design and excellent overall proportions. Compared with the feature phones that are popular at the time, it has a very high-tech feel.
Ivanta said that Honor Mate 1 will also be officially launched at the end of June. Honor Electronics will first set up Honor Experience Stores in eight cities, including New York, Los Angeles, North Bay, Shanghai, Tokyo, London, Paris and Berlin. Users can experience the extraordinary charm of Mate 1 in Honor Experience Stores in these cities starting from June 1, and accept pre-orders for this phone.
They will also work with mobile operator partners around the world to launch this epoch-making mobile phone.
"I was very excited to watch the Apple press conference a week ago. At that moment, I knew that the era of smartphones was about to arrive. So I am excited to introduce our Android system and the Mate 1 mobile phone from our partner Honor Electronics to everyone today. I hope everyone can join us in witnessing the arrival of this new era..."
Watching Ivanta say the above words on the screen, Jobs' face was full of uncertainty.
"How come they moved so quickly? And why are the Android system and the Mate 1 phone so similar to our phone system and iPhone?"
I heard Jobs mutter this...
The assistant beside him didn't know whether to answer for a moment.
"Hurry up, I need to know more about Android and Honor Electronics."
Jobs turned to his assistant and said,
"If they use any dirty tricks, I will not let them go."
…
As for Ivanta, after the Android company's press conference, she accepted interviews from some reporters.
It seems that they have forgotten the original intention of supporting the couple. Almost all the questions asked by reporters were about the Android system and Honor Electronics' new mobile phones, as well as their opinions on the iPhone previously released by Apple.
"As I just said at the press conference, we are excited to see Apple release a groundbreaking product. I believe that in terms of the update and iteration of smartphones, we are in the same camp as Apple, and that is, we hope that mobile phones with a new control method can become a new trend..."
Ivanta said calmly with a charming smile on his face,
"Similarly, we have great confidence in the Android system and the Honor Mate 1 phone. We believe that our products will be top-notch in every aspect!"
"Ms. TP, we found that the phone used by the Duke of Devonshire seems to be the Honor Mate 1 phone that has just been released. Does this mean that this phone can already be mass-produced?"
Ivanta was not surprised by this issue. After all, the fact that Barron was "photographed" using the Mate phone was part of their promotion plan.
She replied:
"His Royal Highness the Duke is an investor in Honor Electronics, so it is understandable that he would try out this phone in advance to improve it and provide a better user experience. As for production, as far as I know, Honor Electronics is currently preparing for mass production of the Mate 1 phone, but due to many reasons and in order to ensure quality, the initial production will definitely be insufficient. This is why we need to accumulate production capacity and officially launch this phone at the end of June."
Although in this press conference, Ivanta announced that it would form the Android Alliance to authorize other mobile phone manufacturers.
But for a period of time after the press conference, almost all other manufacturers were still waiting and watching.
After all, before the real product is launched, they are not sure whether this Android system will be successful - even if they contact the other party, they need to wait until the Android system is open and they have made a judgment on it before proceeding.
