HTC commissioned a report from the Wall Street Jounal to develop a specific mobile operating system for the most populous country in the world. This should be available before the end and contain typical applications such as the Chinese Twitter-like Weibo microblogging tool.
HTC is the order an opportunity to intensify the work on their own system. As a basis it is also next to Android Brew in question – HTC 2010 had already presented a smartphone with this system. Android is currently the market leader in China. Especially low-cost devices are very successful there.
China wants to free its own mobile operating system probably mainly from the dependence on Apple and Google. The government has been trying for several years to ban western IT equipment out of the country. Thus, the cooperation with Google in 2010 came to a standstill, when Google refused to continue censoring search results. Google’s offer in the Play Store is limited since, and the Chinese search engine Baidu is far ahead of Google in terms of popularity. (II)
