发生在手机领域的几件大事

 近日又投入到紧锣密鼓的通信展准备中了,没时间写稿,不过手机领域发生的下面几件事情都是相当有意思的。
一、手机核准制度取消或调整。
我认为,此事对黑手机产业倒不会有太大影响,但对产业界的格局的影响还是会有的,值得我们观察和观望。因为它放松了很多想进入手机领域的大企业的门槛,我们除了应该关注纽曼、爱国者、腾讯、盛大这样的IT领域的企业外,还应该关注可能出现的国美牌手机、大中牌手机,这些玩家进入,产业将变得非常有意思。
 
二、三洋确定将手机事业部门卖给京瓷。
这个事情刚出传闻时我关注过,今天看到了确切的消息,只是看了一下标题,没有具体内容。但研究一下日系手机企业和韩系手机企业,这是一个有趣的话题。
 
三、摩托罗拉将与索尼爱立信联合控股UIQ。
这是本人非常感兴趣的话题,可惜一时没时间研究。第一感觉是这一合作是对诺基亚的一个挑战,第二个感觉是UIQ将更加独立和开放。具体的,还有待研究。下面是道琼斯的一个述评,是参加了此事件的全球说明会之后的内容,能补新闻稿的缺。

-(Dow Jones)- Motorola, will take a 50% holding in UIQ Technology, the mobile software developer owned by Sony Ericsson, the companies said Monday.

The deal, financial terms of which weren't disclosed, was interpreted as a strengthened competitive threat to Nokia, the world's largest mobile handset maker, in the smartphone marketplace.

Sony Ericsson President and CEO Miles Flint said the intention was to recruit a chairman for UIQ shortly, adding that the company will be governed by a board comprised of Sony Ericsson and Motorola executives.

Sony Ericsson acquired UIQ from Symbian Ltd in February. The company licenses interface and development technologies to mobile phone vendors.

Symbian is 47.9% owned by rival Nokia,which is also Symbian's largest customer.

Motorola recently launched a new phone, the Z8, that uses UIQ technology.

Flint said Monday he hoped the deal would prompt other developers to participate in the development of the UIQ platform.

Shortly after Flint announced the acquisition of UIQ in February, he said that he wanted other mobile phone providers to take a stake in the company to ensure that the user interface software gains critical mass in the mobile phone market.

The largest player in terms of mobile software at the end of 2006 was Symbian with 67% of the market, according to data from research firm Canalys. At that time, Microsoft's Windows Mobile had 14% of the smartphone market, while Blackberry owner Research in Motion had 7%. UIQ's market share was in single digits.

Speaking at a press conference Monday, Flint said the transaction "demonstrates the increasing importance of open operating systems for all handset vendors."

"By working together in a strong, mutually beneficial partnership, handset vendors can reduce development costs and help operators launch more consistent services with greater efficiency," he said.

"As of now Sony Ericsson and Motorola are joint ventures in a partnership that strengthens the competition against Nokia," Per Lindberg, a London-based telecoms analyst with Dresdner Kleinwort said Monday.

Dresdner Kleinwort has a buy rating on Ericsson and a sell rating on Motorola.

London-headquartered Sony Ericsson, which over the last few quarters has pushed ahead with making lower end phones to target growth markets such as Latin America and India, saw mobile phone shipments grow to 25.9 million in the third quarter from 19.8 million the previous year.

Miles Flint, who is credited with transforming the Sony Ericsson business, will be replaced Nov. 1 by Sony Corp veteran Hideki 'Dick' Komiyama.
