Google is necessary to unify the user interface?(Google有必要统一用户界面吗?)

Android phones everywhere, Google has recently become more upset.
 
The reason is that mobile phone makers, OEM manufacturers Android system based on the UI (user interface) on the more "independent." Although the system or Android, but these companies have a label with its own UI.
 
The most famous example, the Motorola MOTO BLUR, Samsung TouchWiz, and Lenovo's Clover Music Phone. UI is the latest link from the user experience, mobile phone manufacturers develop their own Android UI is designed to let users have a clear sense of brand differentiation, brand on the phone has a sense of belonging.
 
However, the wide variety of very unhappy Android UI for Google, to recover the cell phone manufacturers develop their own UI's power. Allegedly, Android 3.0 system vendors will be prohibited from self-UI, to change the current fragmented state of Android camp, unified UI. It is not difficult to see, Google also hope that, like Apple did for more control authority, control hardware indicators, software performance, to control the built-in service.
 
However, Google's Android is different from Apple. Apple is only one, no semicolons, from the chip, look, software, advertising, to brand, channel, retail price, Apple can do it full control, and Google can not, can only control software. Apple, a dominance of its glorious achievements, but Android is the open support of many mobile phone manufacturers, said plainly, is Android's varied, everywhere, was formed to compete with Apple.
 
Smart phone, "freedom" is very small, and the price and channel operators increasingly rely on, while the Android UI is no longer allowed to develop their own mobile phone manufacturers, then the characteristics of the phone makers probably smaller, have more than a little power deprivation.
 
Google is necessary to unify the user interface? If Google more and more apples, then play to accompany Android phone makers will be greatly reduced.
 
A cell phone is often impressive are the UI from its beginning. Android now selling models are good in the UI design, style, or simple or ornate, the operation is very user-friendly design. Moto Blur as the most prominent feature is the great attention to social networking features, Motorola is to Blur services can make the cell phone instead of a social network PC terminals. Such as the Yulong Coolpad the N930, plug the card table with a stack-like information browsing mode, users will appear when the page similar to the realistic 3D effects.
 
Because they can show their talents in the UI, mobile phone manufacturers are also very happy to development, to bring different experience to the user. Cool N930's interface has been detached from the native Android UI, after the second development, the user can feel the structure of Android, iPhone's shadow, which is cool taste. In fact, today's smart phones, because Apple's reasons, the shape are "quasi-apple" and the only difference between the only vendor independent UI.
 
If the Android 3.0 is really the end of major manufacturers to develop their own history of Android user interface, for the Android market will have great impact.


PS:网上找到一张图片,是江南大学的翊工作室制作的,给一款名为“Breath”的概念手机设计的UI。
UI还能玩到这个样子,真的很炫,也很90后。
