Microsoft and Cyanogen signed an strategic agreement. yesterday Ogoszona information is not surprising – the end of January, the Redmond giant has invested in the creator decides to CyanogenMod, this version of Android, $ 70 million . Now, as it may be observed The Wired, the situation of both partners is more clear.
“Android should not be longer only to Google” – Commented somewhat provocatively whole situation Wired magazine.
Why Google might fear ?
At the beginning let’s the facts. Cyanogen threatens not to “pure” Android. This is a popular version of the default-free Google services such as Gmail and Maps, but the vast majority of consumers use the version of “penej” with pre-installed Google additives.
However, the spa can not peacefully, because Microsoft and Cyanogen agreement may mean that in Cyanogenmod appears Microsoft services. Replace the Google Maps Bing Maps, Gmail replace the Outlook, and YouTube will judge in principle, not as an application, and as a mobile site – as is the case with Windows Phone. Google rivals agreement may be an grony “wyom”. The fact that Google does not like to lose its market ÚAMK even convince a Mozilla Foundation recently.
Two birds with one stone
Microsoft to invest in Android does not lose anything. In 2013, a licensing patents related to the Samsung receives only one billion US dollars. Kila-several dozen dollars from each Android smartphone sold. The Company is in the somewhat schizophrenic situation: it has own private mobile system, fighting for market share (Windows Phone in the US to master about 3-4% of the market), and yet it has reason to be pleased when a device with Android sell. Therefore – as emphasizes Wired – Microsoft will not be releasing to the market devices with CyanogenMod.
Today, we do not know what will be the result of Microsoft’s co-operation with its new partner. Claiming that in CyanogenMod see when preinstalled Microsoft services is a bit premature, but yet ments that will rival Google grievances. Is CyanogenMod with a set of services from Microsoft byby for you more attractive than the “ordinary” Android?
