Google 與 Apple 手機系統看不到的戰爭

很多人會將Google和Apple的手機產品比較，主要是比較手機規格、功能，甚至是設計。事實上，Google和Apple的營運生態圈是截然不同，正因這種生態圈不同，Google等一眾 Android 系統（Android OS）手機陣營是無法與Apple iOS 抗衡。

Apple在 iOS 移動平台只推出過兩個重要產品，一個是 iPhone，另一個是 iPad，整個經濟圈是採用圍圈式設計（Centric），生態系統以 AppStore 為核心，而 iTunes 是整個生態圈外的守衛者，負責 AppStore 一切開發者的利益和為自己的營運收益把關，例如當有駭客為 iOS 裝置提供固件越獄時，iTunes 這個守衛會在短時間推出固件誘導用家經 iTunes 升級，將企圖入侵 App 生態系統的舉動破壞，這樣可以保護開發者和Apple本身的利益。

事實上，若果你是開發者，軟體推出不久即被輕易破解和盜用，試問還有誰願意投放開發資源？這也解釋為何 AppStore 上的軟體可以便宜至 US$0.9 美元但安桌軟體不能。若以全球人口六十億計算，只有一個百份點人願意購買，就可以帶來六千萬美元收益。Apple AppStore 生態圈幫助全球不少中小企和業餘開發者一夜暴富，只要有創意和智慧，絕對是可以解決貧富懸殊和抗衡地產霸權。台灣過去一年就曾經立案有專負部門培育企業由代工經濟轉型至 App 經濟，香港政府其實可以考慮。

AppStore 另一個成功之處是全球性的軟體銷售模式，降低了軟體渠道發行成本，因為沒有分銷商，令軟體成本和售價可以降低。而透過 AppStore 也加快了軟體更新速度，加速了 App 軟體開發者在圈內的競爭和創新，這都是今時今日微軟視窗平台的弊病，但這些喬布斯卻一夜想通了和做到了！

每一台 iOS 裝置出貨都有助帶動整個 AppStore 經濟圈。Apple能吸引一眾開發者投入是因為喬布斯堅持 iOS 的統一設計，iPhone 2G、3G、3Gs、4G 和 4S，不難發現除了後兩者的視網幕屏模外，硬件平台和解像度都是一致的，喬布斯在臨死前仍一直拒絕 iPhone 4S 採用大屏幕設計，因為不同的屏幕解像度會破壞整個開發生態圈在開發上的簡易性。

開放vs密封，那種生態圈更勝一籌？

曾經就有開發公司向筆者投訴，設計一個 Android 程式十分困難。因為Google容許 Android 系統於不同硬件規格出現，為照顧軟體能在一眾 Android 手機運行，開發商要同一時間開發、維護及針對不同手機廠商，推出一百九十多個軟體版本，實在令人疲於奔命！這亦間接令 Android 軟體在 Android Market 裏整體售價較貴，同時軟體質量整體亦較差、相容性經常出現問題（例如筆者的 Android 手機上的 HTC Sense 一天便當機重啟幾近五次）、操作複雜和惡意程式頻生都是一大問題。

事實上 Android 系統中最諷刺的是保安軟體很多，這反映甚麼呢？大家心中有數！這也引申另一個Google和Apple早前的爭論焦點，就是開發平台應該是開放還是密封。筆者有朋友就曾經開發 iOS 軟體給予Apple，整個審核過程，Apple對軟體界面設計必須跟足開發文件指引，一個按鍵的放置位置不是由你天馬行空想點就點，若然放錯位置，整個 App 便很易被Apple「打回頭」，所以一個軟體放到 AppStore 大家行內都清楚最快要三個月，最遲要一年時間，而Apple在整個 AppStore 的責任在於維護軟體設計的統一和安全，所以用家不難看到AppStore 上每一個 App 也很易用和統一、系統當機情況也較少，甚至是更為安全，例如…… AppStore裏是沒有手機保安軟體。

另一邊看看Google的 Android 陣營， Android 系統的開放設計，美其名令開發者不受創意約束，但硬體平台的多元化卻苦了開發者的維護時間和困難，令軟體發成本上升，收費軟體平均售價普遍也較貴。不同 Android 硬件最致命的是令生態圈出現更多細小的獨立生態圈。你很容易想像到，支援三星 Galaxy Note 的軟體數量和多元性一定不及 iPad，換言之若你買一台 Galaxy Note 回家，其實你是背負著很大的整體成本（Total Cost of Ownership）。

Android ：永遠追不到的新款

由於硬件多元化，而一眾 Android 系統的手機廠商是靠「賣機」來營運，產品的二手跌價速度極快，同時亦無炒賣和投資價值，你很難見有水貨客炒賣 Android 手機，但你卻見Apple的手棧產品價格抗跌力強，升值能力甚至超過投資?金和人民幣。筆者最經典的一役是早年在美國買了一台 iPhone 2G，當時兌換後售價為 HK$3450，兩年後將它轉手放售仍值 HK$2800，在我同事的圈子內一直成為佳話，這個你不會見到在一眾 Android 手機上發生。

Android 系統另一個問題是系統容許手機廠商修改及加入自己的設計，所以不同廠商在 Android 系統都有其特色。由於手機廠商以賣機來取得盈利，所以他們心裏的想法大都會是：「最好產品今天推出，明天就不合時宜，否則你怎會買我的新機款？」，因為手機廠商要通過推陳出新來吸引買家，所以一眾 Android 手機推出後很少消費者得到維護，甚至因為系統漏洞提供固件升級。

一旦廠商的手機有幸成為駭客的 ROOT 對象，這些手機廠商心裏實在一萬個感謝也來不及，因為可加速它的手機「普及化」，筆者曾聽聞有手機生產商背後支持 ROOT 機活動，所以你不要期望 Android 的手機固件升級會很頻密，這也解釋為何筆者說 Android 手機背後的整體成本其實極其高昂。筆者太太的 HTC Magic 手機購買了不到兩年，就因為 Android OS 是 1.6 關係，無法升級至 2.3（我想廠商也沒想過為你升級，最好你買過一台新機吧！），令到她不能安裝 WhatsAPP，不能參與同事席間每天的午飯討論，真係斷六親！

不能正視的問題

另一方面，ROOT 機的問題一直是Google沒有正視的，又或者說正視也正視不來，難道你猜他不想提供新系統給手機生產商修正問題，保護他的 Android Market 生態圈和 Android 開發者利益嗎？問題是你猜 Android 系統手機廠商會願意為舊客戶提供固件更新嗎？這個肯定會加重他們的經營成本，同時也影響他們新手機的出貨，因為這會推遲舊客戶的升級意欲，所以Google與一眾手機生產商其實存在很大矛盾！Android Market 生態圈其實不斷受到破壞，儘管 Android 系統的佔有率不斷上升，但對開發者的利益來說是很不利的。

Google另一個問題是縱容 Android Market 以外的生態圈存在，現在國內的 Android 黑市場，有調查顯示幾乎超過一本在 Android 黑市場、網誌和討論區提供的破解 APP（APK）都是含有木馬程式和惡意軟體。最近英國影星休‧葛蘭（Hugh Grant）手機上的私人照片和留言錄音無故被駭客放上網，傳聞就是因其用 Android 系統的手機。

結論是：當你購買Apple和Google手機時，可能真的要細心想想。

保費要漲 儲蓄險熱賣

保險明年漲定了，尤其是儲蓄險，保費調漲1到3成。也因為如此，民眾搶買儲蓄險，但是業者推出那麼多張儲蓄險，該怎麼買，來聽專家建議。

最近，睡不好的人變多了，午夜夢迴，翻來覆去想的都是同樣的事：「股票賠這麼多怎麼辦？」、「剩下的錢到底要繼續拗下去，還是乾脆忍痛賣光算了？」想來想去沒個答案，於是，白天精神不濟，甚至還得找精神科問診拿藥吃。

摩里(J.Kenfield Morley)在《我的信念》書中寫到，「就金錢投資而言，你所要求的投資利息數額，應視你想吃得好或睡得好而定。」

增額型壽險最熱賣

也因為如此，愈來愈多的投資人為了「讓自己睡好」，選擇避開波動大的股市，轉進具備穩定收益的保險商品。

「8、9月開始，銀行理專就賣不動基金，反倒保險就很好推，因為保險有一定的報酬，投資人不必擔心本金被吃掉。」IARFC國際認證財務顧問師廖乃麟說，新台幣1年期定存利率只有1.4％，而新台幣的儲蓄險保單年報酬約1.7~2％；美元1年期定存利率約0.7％，但美元儲蓄險年報酬率約3.75％。

「儲蓄險的優勢就是利率比定存高，再加上有壽險保障及節稅效益，所以在股市不好的時候，會有比較明顯的吸金效果。」廖乃麟說。

「最近這3個月，儲蓄險的新契約保費收入大約成長10~15％。」台新保代協理孫傳益表示，儲蓄險熱賣的原因還有一個：「明(2012)年儲蓄險保費將上漲1~3成，許多民眾本來就有買儲蓄險的配置，知道要漲價，便提早購買。」根據業者的資料顯示，目前較熱賣的儲蓄險種為「養老險」與「增額型壽險」，這兩種同樣都有美元與新台幣計價可供選擇，其特色為：

養老金：強調「可領回」，以新台幣計價來看，保單到期時回推的年報酬率近2％，適合「喜歡有固定收入」的人。

增額型壽險：大致上可以分為「短年期」(約6年、7年)及「長年期」(15年或20年)，前者適合有一大筆錢的人，放到6年或7年後，保單帳戶裡頭的價值就會以每年2.25％的速度來增值。舉例來說，年繳16.4萬元，6年來共繳98.4萬元，6年期滿保單帳戶價值就有101.14萬元(相當於現在解約就可拿回101.14萬元)，換算報酬率約2.65％。

買儲蓄險的陷阱

然而，若沒有解約，讓保單持續生效，每年這101.14萬元還會繼續以年利率2.25％的方式增值，一直到11年後，保單價值就能夠翻倍到202萬元。

要是手上沒有一大筆錢，則可以考慮用定期定額的方式買增額型壽險，不過得拉長投資年限，才能夠享受到保單增值的效果。

假設每個月存5千元，年存6萬元，投資20年之後，共存120萬元，屆時保單裡頭的帳戶價值就會開始以每年2.25％的速度增值，一直到保單失效為止(如被保險人死亡或解約)。

以近期熱賣的儲蓄險來看，還是強調「高收益」的保單最受消費者歡迎，可見「報酬率」，還是保戶買儲蓄險的最終考量。

不過廖乃麟提醒，有些業者往往把增額壽險設計得很複雜，讓消費者不容易一眼就看穿「實際領回的利率」，所以，要留意以下三件事：

①選美元或新台幣

若有美元需求，建議買美元計價的儲蓄險，因為換算下來的年報酬率就有3.75％，比起新台幣的儲蓄險僅有1.7％，還是有相當的利多。但如果用不到美元，建議直接買新台幣計價，以免保單期滿要換回新台幣時，可能會有匯兌損失。

②比較保單價值而非年報酬率

在各家業者惡性競爭之下，增額壽險的保單內容其實大同小異，建議保戶不要只聽信業務員說「年報酬率約×％」，而是要仔細比較每一年度的「保單帳戶價值」，同樣一筆錢投入，到了第10年保單帳戶，第一家為99萬元，第二家為100萬元；隨著保單年期愈拉愈長，保單帳戶價值的差異就愈大，所以當然選擇第二家。

③想領錢或要保障

喜歡感受「每個月有錢領」的人就買年金，想要追求高保額的人就買增額型壽險，但增額型壽險的增值魅力就在於保單持有愈久，愈能享受「複利」的效果。
如果真的想要用錢，就必須採用部分解約、保單貸款或者將保單全部解約。

儘管金管會一再要求保險商品不能夠拿來跟定存利率比較，然而，在投資環境波動加劇的情況下，還是有人在保險商品裡頭尋求穩定的報酬。不過，孫傳益提醒，保險的規劃上還是要先以保障需求為主，再來才考量用儲蓄險來填補部分缺口。

Here’s Why Android’s UI Will Never Be As Smooth As iOS Or Windows Phone 7

If you’re a platform-agnostic smartphone enthusiast who has had extensive playtime with the iPhone, Windows Phones and Android smartphones, you’ll probably have noticed how the former two mobile operating systems offer a much more “smoother” user-experience compared to the latter’s general “choppiness”. Well, it appears that Android will never be as smooth as iOS or Windows Phone 7 because of the way its very foundations were laid down back in 2005-2006. Details after the jump!

The news comes straight in the form of two posts over on Google’s struggling social network Google+: one by a Google engineer who talks about how graphics work on Android and the other by a 3rd year software engineering student in reply to the first post. Both are pretty lengthy and can get pretty technical, so we’ll try simplifying it as much as we can.

We’ll start off with Google engineer Dianne Hackborn’s post. She states that hardware acceleration – i.e. using the GPU, instead of CPU alone, to render the user-interface – has existed on Android since version 1.0 for things such as sliding the notification bar, pop-up dialogues etc. Full hardware acceleration only came with Android 3.0 Honeycomb and, unsurprisingly, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich actually has the same kind of hardware acceleration and this won’t necessarily sweeten things up.

Hackborn states that hardware acceleration “is not all full of win” since it takes away a lot of RAM when used for devices like Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus with OpenGL. Each process takes about 8MB of RAM and “isn’t worth it” considering the minimal effect it has on how “smooth” the UI looks after implementing it. So yes, hardware acceleration certainly helps, but it takes far too much processing power for it to be implemented to all parts of the UI.

She ends her post on how full, complete, A-to-Z hardware acceleration that results in 60 frames-per-second graphics is simply not possible, even with powerful chips like the Tegra 2.

Now, the question arises: why is it that even seemingly outdated phones like the iPhone 3GS offer a smoother UI than the latest Android smartphones? iOS uses hardware acceleration and that too on weaker hardware. How does Apple’s engineers manage to pull it off, then? Why can’t Google do the same?

That has been answered by Andrew Munn – software engineering student, ex-intern at Google and future intern with Windows Phone 7 team at Microsoft – who states that UI rendering processes in iOS occur with dedicated threads with real-time priority whereas on Android, UI rendering processes occur along with the main thread with normal priority. Whenever an iOS devices detects touch, it stops other processes and focuses all attention to rendering the UI. Android devices don’t do this, instead general processing and UI rendering occurs concurrently which results in choppy UI.

To see this in choppiness in action, check out the following video. Notice the choppiness around 1:50:

If you wish to get the details, with examples, of the how and why of Android graphics, hardware acceleration and UI rendering, check out Hackborn’s post here and Munn’s post here.

Big bargains at Johor Premium Outlets? Not so, Singaporeans find

Singaporeans expected steeper discounts

Friday's rain did not deter hundreds of Singaporeans who took an hour's drive to Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) in search of designer goods at high street prices.

But shoppers at the 16,258 sq m mall in Kulaijaya, which opened on Friday with most of the planned 80 stores up and running, went away with only a bag or two of purchases.

Singaporeans whom The Straits Times spoke to at the mall said the discounts were not as steep as those at outlet malls in the United States and Europe, even though JPO shops gave discounts of up to 70 per cent on selected products. For example, Zegna ties, which cost $290 each at the boutique in Takashimaya, were about 55 per cent less at RM315 (S$130). High heels from Salvatore Ferragamo, which typically sell for $790 here, cost RM1,040 (S$430).

CHEAPER IN THE U.S.

'Compared with prices in Singapore, they are definitely lower but American brands like Coach are much cheaper in the US.'

Housewife Ginny Chu

'Teacher Y.L. Tan, 36, said: 'If we wait for things to go on sale in Singapore, they are about the same price.'
