Why Doesn't Google Focus on One Android Phone, Instead of Many?

by SimonQ錫濛譙

Why doesn’t Google focus on one “Android” phone, sort of like Apple putting all of their efforts into one focus point? They are going the route of Microsoft and trying all sorts of device makers. It irritates me.

What are your thoughts?

Answer by Low Key
What are you talking about? Apple has the iPhone (several kinds), iPod (several kinds), all of their desktop computers, all of their laptop computers, etc. The only thing they don’t have is a video game console, and I’m sure if they made one, it would cost 3x as much as a PS3. That’s just how Apple rolls.

People want variety. Sometimes a person wants the basic model, sometimes a person wants something with all the bells and whistles.

Android is an operating system, of sorts, that will work on multiple phones. Android isn’t a phone in itself.

So, they are only working on one operating system.

Answer by Owner
They want to diversify their risk so they create as many phones as possible in hopes that one of them is very successful.

For an application server to send a message, the following things must be in place:

* The application has a registration ID that allows it to receive messages for a particular device.
* The third-party application server has stored the registration ID.

There is one more thing that needs to be in place for the application server to send messages: a ClientLogin authorization token. This is something that the developer must have already set up on the application server for the application (for more discussion, see Role of the Third-Party Application Server). Now it will get used to send messages to the device.

The ClientLogin token authorizes the application server to send messages to a particular Android application. An application server has one ClientLogin token for a particular 3rd party app, and multiple registration IDs. Each registration ID represents a particular device that has registered to use the messaging service for a particular 3rd party app.
