谷歌副总:我们对安卓和Chrome一视同仁

Miguel Helft 2014年04月16日
安卓是有史以来最成功的操作系统之一,既然如此,谷歌为什么还要推出Chrome?谷歌内部对这两个系统到底是什么定位?是否会厚此薄彼?两者未来的发展规划有什么差异?谷歌安卓、Chrome和应用部门负责人桑德尔•皮恰伊最近接受《财富》杂志专访时给出了答案。

    对于我们来说不存在这样的选择。幸运的是,我们能够按照我们想要的程度同时对两个平台都进行投资。它对我们根本就不是一个问题。

    我们是以非常长远的眼光看待计算设备的。随着时间的推移,我们还可能需要更多的平台。Chrome和安卓需要长足的进化,以更好地解决这些问题。

    你的团队已经开始尝试让Chrome在移动设备上工作得更好。移动设备似乎天生就被应用模式主宰着,你认为网络技术在移动设备上能走多远?

    我们并不认为这是一场零合游戏。我们希望尽一切努力使原生应用工作得越来越好,同时希望尽一切努力使移动设备上的网络应用工作得越来越好。我发现有一个领域移动网络工作得特别好,它就是大量存在的内容应用。

    对于我们来说,我们并没有进行取舍,我们想把选择留给开发者。

    有什么事晚上让你睡不着觉?

    我认为移动网络目前还处于雏形阶段,它可能成为一个能力比今天大得多的平台,大家能在上面做的事也比今天多得多。怎样更快地推动发展这个能力,是一件让我操心的事。

    搭建一个移动Chrome OS平台是一个合理的选择吗?

    如果你问的是,开发一款手机Chrome OS操作系统是不是合理的选择,答案是否定的。安卓已经表现得很好了。

    Chromecast谷歌电视棒对谷歌“抢占卧室”有多重要?你们还有一款基于安卓系统的谷歌电视(Google TV)。

    这两款产品对我们都很重要,我们将贴心地同时促进这两款产品的改进。现在我们正在着手做这件事,以后我们会发布更多消息。

    我个人认为,Chromecast背后的潜力非常强大。它在用户中取得了很好的反响,我认为它是我们的重中之重。我们正在尽可能增加产能以满足用户的需求。Chromecast未来的发展还有很多可能性。

    台式电脑仍然占据谷歌业务的一个大块,推动Chromebook笔记本电脑是否仍然对谷歌具有战略意义?

    Chromebook在市场上表现得很不错,我们感到非常振奋。我们希望听取用户的反馈,你也将会看到我们在这个领域投入更多的资金。我们为Chrome OS系统投入的工作也可以用在非常有趣的用途上。

    微软CEO萨搭亚•纳德拉最近谈到了云计算和移动技术相结合的前景。你是怎么看的?

    我乐于见到微软推出iPad版的Office,这显然是件正确的事。我希望他们也能努力推出安卓版,那会让我非常兴奋的。(财富中文网)

    That's a bit of a false choice for us. We are fortunate to be able to invest in both to the extent that we want to. It hasn't been an issue at all.

    We are thinking about computing for the very long run. If anything, we may need more [platforms] over time. Chrome and Android need to evolve a lot [and] get better to solve these problems.

    Your team has been doing things to make Chrome work better on mobile. Mobile seems to be dominated by the native app paradigm. How far do you think web technologies can go in mobile?

    We don't think of this as a zero-sum game. We want to do everything possible to make native apps work better and better and better. And everything possible to make web apps in mobile work better and better and better. One area where I see the mobile web working really well is for a lot of content applications.

    To us, there is no trade-off. We want to give developers choices.

    What keeps you up at night?

    I think mobile web is in its infancy. It can be a platform much more capable than it is today. You can do a lot more with it. How you drive that capability much faster is something that worries me.

    Would it make sense to build a mobile Chrome OS?

    If you are asking, does it make sense to do a phone which is Chrome OS, the answer is no. Android is working so well.

    How significant is Chromecast for Google's play for the living room? You still have Google TV, which is Android-based.

    Both are important to us. We will thoughtfully evolve both of them together more. We are working on it, and we will have more to say.

    To me, the insight behind Chromecast is very powerful, it resonates very well with users. I think it is central to what we are doing. We are scaling up as much as possible to meet demand. There are lots of possibilities for where we can take Chromecast.

    Desktop remains a huge part of Google's business. Is the push of Chromebooks still strategic for Google?

    It's doing so well for us in the marketplace. We are very excited by that. We want to follow the user response. You will see us invest a lot more in this area. The work that has been done in Chrome OS can be used in very interesting ways.

    Microsoft CEO SatyaNadella recently talked about his vision of cloud and mobile combined. What's your reaction to what you saw?

    I think it's exciting to see them bring Office to the iPad. It's clearly the right thing to do. I hope they are working hard on an Android version. That would excite me a lot.
