Google將推「一體適用」版Android

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Google </SPAN>在年度開發者大會<SPAN lang=EN-US>(Google I/O 2011</SPAN>,美國舊金山時間<SPAN lang=EN-US>5</SPAN>月<SPAN lang=EN-US>10~11</SPAN>日<SPAN lang=EN-US>)</SPAN>上宣佈將整合其不同<WBR>版本<SPAN lang=EN-US> Android </SPAN>的計畫,以及讓該軟體支援<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB</SPAN>週邊設備;未來支援平板電腦、<WBR>智慧型手機與電視機的不同版本<SPAN lang=EN-US> Android</SPAN>,將化零為整到命名為「<SPAN lang=EN-US>Ice Cream Sandwish</SPAN>」的一個版本中,<WBR>該版本軟體開放源碼預定今年第四季釋出。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>目前的<SPAN lang=EN-US>3.0</SPAN>版<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>,也就是<SPAN lang=EN-US> Honeycomb </SPAN>,以及將在近幾週內發表的<SPAN lang=EN-US>3.1</SPAN>升級版本,都不會轉為開放源碼;<WBR>至於<SPAN lang=EN-US> Google TV </SPAN>客戶端軟體,則會維持其單獨<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>變體的型態,<WBR>不過從今年夏天開始,<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google TV</SPAN>應用軟體將透過網路開放下載。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>「我們要的是一體適用的作業系統,<WBR>讓應用程式開發商不必為裝置之間的差異化頭痛;」參與<SPAN lang=EN-US>Ice Cream Sandwich</SPAN>開發的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>工程師<SPAN lang=EN-US>Mike Cherod</SPAN>透露,在第二天的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google I/O</SPAN>大會上,將會有一些新工具發表。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>產品管理總監<SPAN lang=EN-US>Hugo Barra</SPAN>於<SPAN lang=EN-US>I/O</SPAN>大會專題演說中表示,<WBR>該公司在過去兩年半以來已經發表了<SPAN lang=EN-US>8</SPAN>個版本的<SPAN lang=EN-US> Android</SPAN>,目前該軟體應用在<SPAN lang=EN-US>310</SPAN>種不同的裝置中,在<SPAN lang=EN-US>20<WBR>11</SPAN>年估計將進駐<SPAN lang=EN-US>1</SPAN>億支手機,平均每天就有<SPAN lang=EN-US>40</SPAN>萬支手機啟用該軟<WBR>體。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>最近<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>因為不願釋出平板裝置用<SPAN lang=EN-US>Honeycomb</SPAN>的開<WBR>放源碼,讓眾多<SPAN lang=EN-US>OEM</SPAN>廠商大失所望;而在今年稍早,<WBR>該公司重新更改了在去年的<SPAN lang=EN-US>I/O</SPAN>大會上所發表的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google TV</SPAN>軟體計畫。此外,<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>還發起成立一個聯盟,<WBR>聚集十幾家廠商夥伴針對市面上進行<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>統一化標準的訂<WBR>定,以因應各種裝置的升級需求。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>該聯盟的成員包括<SPAN lang=EN-US>AT&amp;T</SPAN>、<SPAN lang=EN-US>HTC</SPAN>、<SPAN lang=EN-US>LG</SPAN>、<SPAN lang=EN-US>Moto<WBR>rola</SPAN>、<SPAN lang=EN-US>Samsung</SPAN>、<SPAN lang=EN-US>Sony Ericsson</SPAN>、<SPAN lang=EN-US>Verizon</SPAN>與<SPAN lang=EN-US>Vodaphone </SPAN>等等,他們已經承諾將著手讓所有市面上的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>裝置,<WBR>能在使用者在初次購買後的<SPAN lang=EN-US>18</SPAN>個月內,執行所有的軟體升級。<SPAN lang=EN-US>Go<WBR>ogle</SPAN>也發表了以雲端服務為基礎的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>裝置影音串流<WBR>新服務。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT color=green><SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>將新增對<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB</SPAN>週邊設備的支援</FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT color=green><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></FONT></FONT>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>也宣佈將在<SPAN lang=EN-US>3.1</SPAN>版的平板裝置用<SPAN lang=EN-US>Honeycomb</SPAN><WBR>、以及智慧型手機用版本<SPAN lang=EN-US>Gingerbread 2.3.4</SPAN>首度新增對<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB</SPAN>週邊設備的支援,包括一個內含<SPAN lang=EN-US>Goo<WBR>gle</SPAN>提供之<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB</SPAN>支援程式庫的新版<SPAN lang=EN-US>Open Accessory API</SPAN>。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>的獨特之處,是將<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB</SPAN>定義為一個裝置,不同於<SPAN lang=EN-US>L<WBR>inux</SPAN>將之定義為主機環境<SPAN lang=EN-US>(host environment)</SPAN>,因此<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android USB </SPAN>週邊設備,在技術上會是<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB</SPAN>主機;而<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>的程式庫指在<WBR>協助應用程式開發商適應這種差異。而裝置<SPAN lang=EN-US>/</SPAN>主機定義上的不同,<WBR>意味著<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android USB</SPAN>週邊將無法透過<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB</SPAN>線從<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>手機或平板裝置獲<WBR>得電力;此外<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>也不打算支援<SPAN lang=EN-US>USB 3.0</SPAN>。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>、<SPAN lang=EN-US>Microchip</SPAN>與日本業者<SPAN lang=EN-US>RT Corp.</SPAN>已經發表了設計<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android USB</SPAN>週邊設備的硬體開發工具;其中<SPAN lang=EN-US>Microchip</SPAN>是提供採<WBR>用<SPAN lang=EN-US>MIPS</SPAN>核心處理器的方案。<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>表示,<WBR>該公司未來也將為<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>週邊裝置推出藍牙技術的支援功能<WBR>。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Barra</SPAN>並將新的<SPAN lang=EN-US> Android</SPAN>週邊設備市場,與目前由<SPAN lang=EN-US>Apple</SPAN>獨家嚴密掌控的<SPAN lang=EN-US><WBR>iPhone</SPAN>與<SPAN lang=EN-US>iPad</SPAN>週邊設備市場做了對比:「開發<SPAN lang=EN-US>Andro<WBR>id</SPAN>週邊設備不須簽署保密協定、不用付權利金,也沒有認證程序,<WBR>所以立刻開始吧!」</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>另外<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>也在<SPAN lang=EN-US>I/O</SPAN>大會首日發表了一項<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>新<WBR>服務「<SPAN lang=EN-US>@Home</SPAN>」,可讓<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>裝置與各種家電與家用自<WBR>動化裝置,透過<SPAN lang=EN-US>Wi-Fi</SPAN>或是不指定的無線家庭控制網路來連線。<WBR>已有一家<SPAN lang=EN-US>LED</SPAN>照明方案供應商<SPAN lang=EN-US>Lighting Science</SPAN>表示,將在年底推出可透過<SPAN lang=EN-US>Android</SPAN>裝置遙控<WBR>的<SPAN lang=EN-US>LED</SPAN>燈泡與開關裝置。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>@Home</SPAN>包括了一套控制家用多媒體系統的硬體參考設計<SPAN lang=EN-US>Proj<WBR>ect Tungsten</SPAN>,<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>示範以一台<SPAN lang=EN-US>Tungsten</SPAN>裝置<WBR>連結網路、控制立體聲音響,<WBR>以及付費並開啟網際網路音樂串流服務,還可透過<SPAN lang=EN-US>NFC</SPAN>控制其他裝<WBR>置。</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>進行示範的<SPAN lang=EN-US>Google</SPAN>開發工程師表示:「這是雲端服務、<WBR>軟體與裝置的最新結合,將催生一個全新的應用程式環境。」<SPAN lang=EN-US>And<WBR>roid</SPAN>的<SPAN lang=EN-US>@Home</SPAN>軟體與無線網路支援細節,<WBR>將在今年稍晚發表。<SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
