China Unicom unveils Wophone handsets |
聯(lián)通開售沃Phone 稱不會牽扯專利問題 |
| China Unicom launched its first Wophone handsets on Tuesday, manufactured by Tianyu Communication Equipment Co. and Inventec Corp, the 21st Century Business Herald reported. | 據(jù)《21世紀經(jīng)濟報道》報道，中國聯(lián)通本周二正式發(fā)布了兩款“沃Phone”手機，分別由國內(nèi)手機廠商天語和英華達生產(chǎn)。 |
| China Unicom launched its Wophone OS, the first domestically made smart phone operating system, in February after three years of development. The company said it hopes to build more partnerships to promote and improve the Linux-based software platform. | 沃Phone是聯(lián)通2008年開始組織相關廠商研發(fā)的操作系統(tǒng)，基于Linux2.6內(nèi)核今年2月，聯(lián)通在北京首次向外界公布了“沃Phone”平臺的細節(jié)，并提出希望更多的伙伴加入產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈，協(xié)助進行沃Phone的推廣與完善。 |
| China Unicom will subsidize mobile phone manufacturers for Wophone handset sales promotion. | 中國聯(lián)通將會通過補貼計劃幫助廠商銷售沃Phone手機。 |
| "Currently, Wophone mobile phones target the low- and middle-end markets, but we will also launch high-end and tablet mobile devices designed for the Wophone OS in the future," said Yu Yingtao, head of China Unicom's marketing and sales department. | 中國聯(lián)通銷售部總經(jīng)理于英濤表示，”目前沃Phone只做中低端，但未來也會做高端和平板”。 |
| ZTE, Huawei, TCL and Coolpad will develop four Wophone handsets in the second half this year, said Zhang Zhijiang, head of China Unicom's technology department. | 據(jù)中國聯(lián)通技術部總經(jīng)理張智江透露，今年下半年中興、華為、TCL和酷派還會陸續(xù)推出四款沃Phone手機。 |
| Because the Wophone OS is not based on Android, the company does not expect it will run into patent disputes, Yu said. | 于英濤還表示，沃Phone并非基于Android二次開發(fā)，所以不會牽扯到這些專利問題。 |
