Orange will launch the HTC smartphone Android Hero in the summer before
While operator Orange has launched its first Android smartphone, the HTC Dream, is already a second and a third Android smartphone that should see the day d 'here this summer.
As "Android is not a system that is declining on a single mobile, it is part of a range of products," we says on the direction of Orange France. By the end of the year, the operator plans to propose more than five different brands, including HTC, of course, but also Motorola, LG, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
For new Android smartphones expected by the operator, it is first assembled by the terminal with a HTC code-named "Hero" which will come into being. Already reported in our columns a few months ago, this terminal looks like (photo) as two drops of water to HTC G1 (HTC Dream), with a hull still slightly amended and physical sliding QWERTY keyboard. However, contrary to what the image suggests, "it is not a mobile piece," assures us there. The HTC Hero "will be followed a few weeks later another smartphone using the same mobile system from Google, ostensibly to" multiply the form factor and paste to the desires of our customers. "
Why Orange seems to believe both the Android system despite "a few tens of thousands of parts that we find it difficult to sell since its release? Because Android smartphones are often less expensive than other terminals in the market and also because the economic model associated with their distribution is different from mobile Blackberry, iPhone or Windows Mobile. Indeed, where Orange is paying here than on the sale of mobile phones in addition to the price of subscriptions associated data, the operator is interested in paid downloads of the Android Market via the mobile system from Google.
If Google reverse 70% of revenues generated by the sale of an application to its developer, the remaining 30% are shared between the giant Internet search ... and the mobile operator that has commercialized the smartphone. "Google is very generous revenue sharing," says Orange France, insuring the operator significant revenue on every application sold since payante smartphone offered by France Telecom.
Remains whether this will be sufficient to make the system mobile Google a success. Note Orange confirms the release of a first update "Cupcake" for the HTC Dream smartphone from the end of April. A second major update is available for download a month later. The Android Market offers 2300 hours for free and pay applications against 25 000 for the Apple App Store. The French mobinautes can download applications from the Android Pay Market at the end of next month.
