谷歌繼續挺進蘋果領地 《華爾街日報》

????隨著公司廣告業務增速放緩，谷歌公司（Google）已經開始進一步開拓硬件市場，大力推廣深受市場歡迎的安卓（Android）移動設備操作系統。據市場研究機構IDC稱，今年第三財季采用安卓系統的智能手機占總出貨量的75%。今年5月，谷歌斥資125億美元收購了硬件巨頭摩托羅拉移動公司（Motorola?Mobility），與昔日合作伙伴蘋果公司（Apple）結下了梁子。蘋果對采用安卓的硬件廠商提起了大量訴訟，稱它們剽竊了自己的設計。

iTunes完美升級，音質無損? 科技資訊博客

????我發現，新版iTunes總的來說很好用。這個深受追捧的程序更明快，也更多彩了，增加了一些令人愉悅的智能特性，搜索速度也更快。電腦上的媒體庫和儲存在蘋果在線iCloud云服務中的媒體的融合得更緊密。云服務提供的流媒體播放有所增加。蘋果商店變得布局更清晰、更簡潔、更好用。

再看“優先移動”策略 調研機構AVC

????困難不應該是放棄嘗試的理由。我深信，新的大規模面向消費者的服務（consumer facing services）將利用移動設備作為主要用戶界面。這個假期中，創新租車服務Uber和手工藝品銷售網站Etsy的成功就說明了這一點。移動設備正是用戶現在花時間最多的地方。如果不為這一正迅速成為主導的用戶界面設計產品和服務，就無法使自己的業務獲得長期成功。

Twitter loses ability to properly display Instagram photos?[THE NEW YORK TIMES]

Google's explainer-in-chief can't explain Apple?[THE WALL STREET JOURNAL]

????As growth slows in its advertising business, Google has pushed further into hardware for its popular Android mobile operating system. Android represented 75% of smartphone shipments in the third quarter, according to IDC. Google's acquisition of hardware giant?Motorola?Mobility, which it bought for $12.5 billion in May, put the Mountain View, Calif., company at odds with its erstwhile partner Apple.

iTunes gets an upgrade without missing a beat?[ALL THINGS D]

????ALL THINGS D

????Overall, however, I found the new iTunes a pleasure to use. The venerable program is now brighter and more colorful, with clever and pleasing new capabilities and faster search. There is tighter integration between the library of media that resides on your computer and media stored in Apple's online iCloud service. Streaming from the cloud has been expanded. The store has also been made cleaner, simpler and easier to use.

Rethinking mobile first?[AVC]

????But just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try to do it. I am convinced the next set of large and valuable consumer facing services will be built with mobile as the primary user interface. You can see it in the success of Uber and?Etsy this holiday season. That's where you users are most of the time. And if you don't design your products and services for what is rapidly becoming the dominant UI, you will not maximize the success of your business in the long run.
