Kuleli sonto sibone amagajethi amabili okugcina omkhiqizo we-Nexus esebenza. Futhi kwakungekho isisusa. Ithebhulethi ye-Nexus 7 kanye nesikhungo semidiya se-Nexus Q amalungu amabili okugcina endaba edalwe u-Google ukuthi abe ngaphezu nje kwenjini yokusesha kanye nomdali wesofthiwe. Kusukela yethula i-Nexus One, i-Google ibilokhu ifuna ukuba nento yokwenza nemibono yayo yokuthi i-hardware kufanele ibe yini futhi, ngayo, ihlanganise impumelelo ye-Apple njengomkhiqizi wezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha nesofthiwe ngesikhathi esifanayo.
Okokuqala, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi kwakukhona iselula ye-Google ngaphambi kwenkathi ye-Nexus. I-G1 (HTC Dream kwezinye izimakethe) kwakuyi-smartphone yokuqala ukuthwala i-Android ngasekupheleni kuka-2008. Kodwa yayingavamile ngezindlela ezimbalwa. Yayingabizwa nge-Nexus futhi nenguqulo yayo yesistimu yokusebenza, i-Android 1.1, yayiteketiswa ngokuthi ikhekhe noma uswidi. Kwakuyi-smartphone yami yokuqala futhi inesisindo njengesitini. Isasebenza.
Kodwa i-Nexus yokuqala yangempela kwaba Eyodwa. Kwelinye lamashalofu ngisenayo i-Nexus yami yokuqala (kanye nedivayisi yami yesithathu ye-Android). I-Nexus One esasebenza njengentelezi. Iphume ne-Android 2.1 Eclair, lapho i-Android kusadingeka ithuthuke kakhulu. Kodwa manje jabulela i-Android 2.2 Froyo. Nakuba ihlale lapho, ngingayisebenzisa ezimeni eziphuthumayo. Ukufika kwakhe eSpain kwakusezandleni zeVodafone entwasahlobo ka-2010.
Kodwa wafika eSpain elahlekelwe ingxenye enhle yefilosofi yakhe. Ngenkathi i-Google yethula e-US ekuqaleni kwalowo nyaka, lesi siphetho, esakhiwe yi-HTC, safuna ukususa izisekelo zebhizinisi leselula. Lapho ibimahhala futhi i-Google iyithengise ngqo. Wayefuna ukweqa iketango futhi agweme abaqhubi, izinsuku zabo zokugcina kanye nezimo zabo. Kodwa-ke, njengesisusa esihle kakhulu, icebo lakhe lenkululeko lahluleka futhi kwadingeka avumelane nesivumelwano nabaqhubi.
I-Nexus elandelayo ezofika kube yi-Nexus S, le enginayo namuhla. Ngiyithenge ngoJuni wonyaka odlule nakuba yethulwe ekupheleni kuka-2010. Yenziwe ngabakwaSamsung, bekuyi-smartphone yokuqala ukufaka uhlobo oluphambili lwe-Android, i-Gingerbread. Bekuwukugxuma impela ngekhwalithi. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule ngiyibuyekezele ku-Ice Cream Sandwich. Nakuba ngase ngivele ngicabanga ngokuyivuselela (amaselula angahlala iminyaka emihlanu, kodwa aphelelwa yisikhathi kweyodwa nje), izindaba zokuthi izoba phakathi kwabokuqala abazothola i-Jelly Bean zingenze ngacabanga futhi.
NgoNovemba 2011, i-Galaxy Nexus, eyesithathu kumlando we-Nexus, yethulwa eYurophu (ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuthi ibe se-Hong Kong). Kulokhu, i-Google ibambisene ne-Samsung futhi. Ikhishwe inguqulo entsha ye-Android, Ice Cream Sandwich. Ngisho nanamuhla, ezinyangeni kamuva, kusengenye yama-smartphones angcono kakhulu emakethe. Muva nje, i-Google iphinde yavuselela ukuthengisa kwayo okuqondile esitolo sayo e-United States.
Ngalokhu kubuyekezwa okufushane komlando we-Nexus singafinyelela uchungechunge lweziphetho: I-Google ihlezi yethula izinguqulo zayo ezintsha ze-Android ngesandla netheminali entsha esebenze kuyo ngokuqondile nomkhiqizi. Kuze kube manje sezikhona ezimbili, i-HTC ne-Samsung. I-Google nayo ibilokhu ifuna ukuzimela ku-opharetha, njengoba i-Apple izuze nge-iPhone yayo.
Manje amanye amalungu amabili ajoyine umndeni wakwa-Nexus. Ithebhulethi ye-Nexus 7 kanye nesikhungo semidiya se-Nexus Q. Ngazo zombili lezi zinto, singabona ukuthi i-Google iyaqhubeka nomkhuba wayo wokumatanisa okwakamuva kwe-Android (i-Jelly Bean kulokhu) nedivayisi entsha (i-Nexus 7). Futhi, uphikelela ngokuthi azidayise ngokwakhe. Ukugqamisa ukuzimela kwama-opharetha, ithebhulethi inokuxhumeka kwe-WiFi kuphela.
I-Google ihlela ukwethula amanye amadivayisi amathathu e-Android kulo nyaka. Into enengqondo ukuthi bathwala i-Jelly Bean (abanayo isikhathi sokuqalisa inguqulo entsha ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-2012 noma akunjalo?), Okungaphula isiko elide. Eyodwa izoba yithebhulethi engu-10-intshi kanti enye kungenzeka kube i-smartphone enophawu lwe-Motorola. Asazi ngesesihlanu. Nge-Motorola, i-Google ekugcineni izobe isikuzuzile ebikufuna kakhulu: ukuzenzela amadivaysi ayo e-Android, njengoba kwenza i-Apple.
Lesi sihloko ku I-Phandroid usigqugquzele ukuthi senze lokhu okuthunyelwe.
I-athikili enhle 🙂
Mina nge-Nexus S yami ngithokozile 🙂
