Chapter 465 The Press Conference Ended Hastily
Chapter 465 The Press Conference Ended Hastily
Dave Burke was also sweating profusely, constantly glancing at Sundar Pichai in the audience, hoping to get some help from him!
But the other person just shook their head!
Dave Burke made a snap decision and decided to go it alone.
"That's a good question, I can answer it properly."
"Transsion's solution is based on deep customization of its own single product line, which is only compatible with their own models and does not have universality across the entire ecosystem. It is not comparable to Android."
After all, our system needs to be compatible with tens of thousands of devices with different configurations around the world. Its complexity and system stability are unmatched by smaller systems.
Furthermore, they also modified the Android system, so we are essentially from the same source. Therefore, their current level of performance is inseparable from the help of the Android team!
But at this moment, a reporter from the magazine, speaking via video link from the audience, asked in a slightly mocking tone:
"Mr. Burke, I'm afraid your information is a bit outdated."
The people around him burst into laughter, but it was all mocking, since as the person in charge of Android, he couldn't possibly be unaware of these things.
So this is purely a matter of sophistry!
The reporter then helped Google recall some topics that Dave Burke was unwilling to discuss!
"Transsion's Taishan system was indeed initially developed based on the open-source Android project AOSP, but they have been deleting code with each generation. As early as version 2.2, all the code was deleted and replaced with a self-developed architecture!"
The time must have been 2011, which was two years ago.
In other words, they've been three years ahead of Google, but you haven't achieved anything to retaliate in those three years!
Other reporters, seeing Dave Burke's pale face, continued to bombard him with questions.
"Google has complete control over the Android ecosystem, a world-class engineering team, and this time it also has the help of Microsoft."
Why can't these two giants, working together, even create a complete full-screen operating system? Instead, why do global manufacturers and developers have to foot the bill for Google?
All the reporters were very professional and quickly handed him the microphone, leaving Dave Burke with absolutely no way out...
Admitting that you're not as skilled as others would be incredibly embarrassing!
And what's wrong with these reporters in the audience? Why don't they give me any face at all?
Sundar Pichai paced anxiously back and forth in the audience, making several phone calls, all to the heads of the newspapers behind him, wanting to question them about their motives!
But no one answered any of the calls!
The hosts quickly stepped in to smooth things over, grabbing their microphones and saying:
Please focus your questions on Android 4.4.3. Irrelevant topics should be put aside for now!
But nobody in the audience listened, especially the manufacturers' representatives who joined the attack.
"This is a version issue! Our technical team at Sansang has thoroughly reviewed the code of the new Android version, and it's not a full-screen display at all!"
I would like to ask Mr. Burke to give a clear yes or no!
"Yes...no!"
Dave Burke's voice sounded a little unsteady.
"Android's iteration is an ongoing process, and we will gradually improve each module..."
"So you're admitting that the current version is only half-finished."
One of the manufacturers in the audience shouted something, which immediately sparked a chorus of agreement!
"Deceiving the developers!"
"Give me a definite answer: when exactly will the full version of Android full-screen be released?"
"No wonder you gave me a bonus. You thought you had a change of heart, but it turns out your conscience is utterly black."
"Don't even mention solving it in two weeks, can it be solved within six months?"
"Quiet!"
"Quiet! Security guards, stop them!"
The host called out several times, but the scene remained chaotic, and the angry audience members wanted nothing more than to tear the two of them to pieces!
After all, they invested real money, only to get this pile of garbage in return.
Dave Burke's face was also covered in cold sweat, as the atmosphere at the scene was simply too tense to bear.
Sundar Pichai was also extremely cautious. He thought it was just a minor deception, and with the cooperation of all parties, Google could easily overcome this crisis!
But... do we really have to spin off the Android project and let these manufacturers join in the development?
Subsequent problems continued to mount, with Samsung representatives even filing a claim for compensation against Dave Burke.
A total of $2000 million!
But the question didn't get the answer I wanted; Dave Burke just kept playing dumb.
The reporters behind them greeted them, but still received no response.
The press conference, which was originally scheduled for 40 minutes, ended abruptly after only 28 minutes and 47 seconds, after which Dave Burke fled.
"Mr. Burke, please don't run away!"
Does this mean Google is simply giving up on this issue?
"Google, please address this issue, otherwise... all your partners will abandon you!"
…………
At the same time, laughter came from the conference room at Transsion headquarters.
"this one?"
Liu Zhihong was the first to speak. He thought his old rival, Dave Burke, would say something meaningful, but he just spouted a bunch of nonsense.
He pointed to the hastily shut-down live stream:
"These people are still running away. If you ask me, if they're going to plagiarize, they should just copy everything. Their code was garbage to begin with..."
The double standard code wasn't even done well; isn't this just child's play?
"They've started using any means necessary now, they've already held press conferences, they're still trying to cover it up," Wang Hua said with a smile.
"you do not say!
Now all kinds of forums and posts on the Android Developers Alliance are in chaos.
Many manufacturers are so angry that they've sent them lawyer's letters.
Fortunately, this is a full-screen version, so older phones weren't affected; otherwise, we could have won without even trying.
Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little helpless. After all, he was still worried about how to promote the full-screen display when Google stabbed him in the back twice and then gave them a good GG.
How can there be such a great business partner in the world!
Seeing the others nodding, Li Qing continued to add.
"I reckon Google's PR team will be working through the night for the next few days; they can't even keep up with deleting all those posts!"
Liu Zhihong glanced at the Taishan system's developer center. "By the way, our official overseas account is full of onlookers. Many developers are asking when the Taishan development tools will be available for licensing!"
"Do you think we should take advantage of this buzz and release a few more press releases? No need to say much, just include a few relevant images, the effect will be absolutely explosive."
