Alibaba to be the google of china and even
launching their own mobile payment services AliPay, we have to admit that
seeing them launch their own mobile operating system really did not come as big
a shock as we expected. Aliyun will be launched on china's K-Touch cloud smart
phone W700 by the end of this month.
Aliyun focused on the web and cloud services. it
focus on the web elements like e-mail and search but should also support
web-based applications and will back up call,photo,and text data in the cloud. Moreover,
users can seamlessly synchronize, store, and backup data such as contact
information, call logs, text messages, notes, and photos to AliCloud's remote data
center. The stored data can then be accessed across all supported PC and
mobile devices. Interestingly, online storage service promises
to provide 100 GB of data storage absolutely free! .The Aliyun OS
will apparently be "fully compatible" with apps from Android through
a proprietary Waterloo-style emulation layer.
Linux runs underneath the platform and
allegedly lets the device runs Android apps, although this hasn't been checked
and might not apply to some apps. Most of the W700's features aren't known,
though it has 3G, a back camera, and GPS.
Also Alibaba expects a tablet based on Aliyun
Os by the end of this year and will also have an English version for other countries
near the same time.
Although with Mozilla
planning their own mobile operating system too, it looks like the smartphone
operating system wars just got a lot bigger which can only be a good thing as
consumers will have more variety to choose from.
