Android device running with Apple's cloud

Finally, the Android device makers also see the important thing is to compete with Apple to bring services and software to mobile devices.
At the Consumer Electronics Show CES 2012 in Las Vegas (USA), few of these firms have presented outlines of their cloud strategy.
Acer and Lenovo, the maker of the tablet and smartphone Android and Windows personal computers, will offer cloud services and server services to help sync, access to the content and materials more easily by PCs, smartphones and tablets.
 
Acer to equip their devices with AcerCloud, a hosting service that users can transfer documents and files shared via tablets, smart phones and personal computers. Lenovo also has information about cloud services coming out of their eyes, to allow access and share content and files on TV, tablet PCs, smart phones and personal computers they produce through the clouds personal or public.
 
Two firms are in an overall strategy for mobile devices initiated by Apple, where software and services have been included in the product iPad and iPhone Apple's highly successful. According to analysts, in addition to Amazon, the maker of the Android device is most often the hardware manufacturers have tried before and provides a set of software and integration services commensurate to improve computer table and smartphone.
According to industry analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Technology Insights and Strategy, Lenovo and Acer has provided a full range of hardware, but do not provide adequate services to applications and users.
Mr. Moorhead hopes, the company will meet the deficiencies within 18 months by combining with partners and internal development.
 
The personal cloud services as well as Apple's iCloud "sticking factor" helps retain customers when sales decline, according to Mr. Moorhead. Development and expansion of individual cloud services can be making money is important for the future of Lenovo and Acer. The two companies see this and realize they must improve their capabilities.
 
Despite being made, but the hardware does not necessarily have to provide cloud services, especially for setting up, maintaining and managing this type of service is costly and complex, according to Charles King, Head of Pundt-group analysis of IT. But if investment plans and proper and partners, a hardware vendor can use cloud services to serve its long-term benefits.
 
According to King, Apple is the typical picture of all the company wants to follow, but the Android device to its effort to keep step, when considering the fragmented community of hardware and software.
Mr. King said, the features that have helped lead to the tremendous success of the Android community is diverse and widespread. This also suggests that individual firms have at any size and scale to be truly a company like Apple homogeneous.
 
If the Android community to succeed, cloud services must be different, because the hardware features are often similar.
 
According to King, cloud services can bring new revenue streams, particularly attractive to firms in the device before increasing profit less.
