Baidu’s cloud OS project ended: Ali, 360 cell phone strength or admission
On March 11, Baidu’s cloud OS issued a statement formally suspended updated cloud OS services, brush the second ROM machine market share exit in disgrace. Baidu’s cloud OS ROM in 2014 and become the second largest market for a third party resource, is ascendant; choices at the moment the curtain call, Baidu cloud OS also has said no difficulties, poor liquidity, funding and so on are big problems. Overwhelmed by Baidu’s cloud OS “final straw”, maybe it was just entering the phone market two giant, 360 with Alibaba.

Give up Baidu cloud OS, not confront Ali, 360
In December 2014, the well-known domestic mobile phone manufacturers cool 360 profile in hand, creates a new joint venture company in February, Meizu of Ali to the famous mobile phone brand olive branch, “a conspiracy” feat. Their initial investment in billions of magnitude, on the mobile phone market is determined. Look at Baidu OS, due to lack of sufficient liquidity, Li has been lukewarm about their attitudes, the amount of investment is only around hundreds of millions of.
Shenzhen City, it is no wonder that is responsible for the business of Baidu’s cloud OS fully digital Chairman Xu Guoxiang, OS service suspension reasons due to Baidu Baidu is not willing to devote sufficient funds. Trembling, spend money, how can you begin to gain an edge in the future. A win, a skating on thin ice, it’s no wonder has not played, Baidu’s cloud OS is waving the white flag.
Staff turnover, Baidu is clouds OS kills no turning back
Underfunded Baidu cloud OS just one of the many problems facing, loss of key personnel is also Baidu cloud OS no longer following important reasons. According to inside information, Baidu is clouds when the OS has not been shelved, it has core chose to leave, jump, and the home of their choice, in addition to TV plus, Internet companies, and Baidu is clouds 360 Mobile OS the most powerful competitors.
Zhou hongyi t in Baja after making cell phones, have said repeatedly in public, 360 phones will independently develop its own ROM system, this system will have more security, faster performance and longer battery life. In addition to these obvious statements, Joe secretly conducting his own “esoteric”. Has been exposed, Zhou hongyi t after arriving in Shenzhen begins tour of their contacts, number of senior engineers have now been incorporated into his, many of whom worked for Apple, Huawei for top designers. Presumably these hoppers, Baidu will never want elite cloud OS, right?
Non-adaptive hardware products, “naked” system eventually became an empty
Baidu’s cloud OS another flop, overblown from the software programs: no hardware equipped with Baidu’s cloud OS almost no liquidity. Baidu CEO Robin Li might think that this is generating space and the competitive pressure on large project? not, you know, Robin Luo Yonghao, feelings are impossible to use Baidu search earn enormous sums of revenue. Therefore, Baidu OS faces the results, only use.
Instead, for 360 with adapter, such as mobile phones businesses, ROM values will be better reflected. Quality systems for systems tailored to the cell phone, once millet is to rely on the tactical successes in the mobile market. With liquidity, putting more goes into the drain. And with 360 layout intelligent hardware in depth, 360 mobile phones will be able to join all the hardware, even forming intelligent hardware ecosystem function.
I have to say, Robin is a entrepreneur with a great talent, found that Baidu is clouds after the OS can’t bring their interests and not beset by huge user base, immediately prostrate cut off this project. Although Baidu is clouds end of the OS was a play called see Ali, 360, enter the mobile phone industry is “frightened”, but it is not a wise move about the quit? there is no burden on the cloud OS, perhaps Baidu can go much further in other areas.
