智能手机新系统Android在中国

在谷歌上周宣布考虑退出中国之后，它也宣布推迟在华发布两款基于Android操作系统的手机，不过，这并未阻止手机生产商继续在中国推广Android服务。
When Google announced last week that it may pull out of China, it also delayed the launch of two cellphones that use the Android operating system - but that hasn't stopped manufacturers from moving ahead with Android services there.
　　
路透社今早报导，索尼爱立信表示仍将按照原计划于今春在华推出Android手机，没有延期的打算。
Reuters reported this morning that Sony Ericsson has no plans to delay the launch of its Android phone in China, which is set for this spring.
　　
摩托罗拉公司在中国的Android应用商店于今日发布。道琼斯通讯社报导，摩托罗拉说，创建这家名为Shop4Apps的应用商店意在进一步满足中国消费者以及Android应用程序软件开发商的需求。摩托罗拉已在中国推出了两款Android手机，并和一些公司签署了协议，其中就包括与中国网络巨头百度签署的搜索引擎协议。
And Motorola today unveiled a store for Android applications in China. According to Dow Jones Newswires, Motorola 'said its application store, dubbed Shop4Apps, was created to further tap the demand by Chinese consumers and developers for a central market for Android programs.' Motorola already has two Android devices in China and has signed deals with companies such as Chinese Web giant Baidu for search.
　　
那么谷歌推迟发布的手机和它们有什么不同呢？谷歌不是这两款手机的生产商：这两款手机分别是由摩托罗拉和三星电子生产的。另一个区别是推迟发布的手机还捆绑了谷歌地图及手机搜索等功能。
So what's different about the phones that Google has postponed? It's not the manufacturers - one of the delayed phones is made in partnership with Motorola (with the other being made with Samsung). The difference is that the delayed devices are also packed with things like Google maps and mobile search.
　　
正如本专栏曾在早些时候报导的那样，谷歌推出了两个系列的智能手机，一个安装了最新的谷歌软件和程序，另一系列则运行由手机合作伙伴开发的定制化软件。如果谷歌决定退出中国，那么前者可能会面临问题，但是其他的可能不会受到影响。
As Digits reported earlier, 'Google has pushed forward two lines of smartphones: devices that feature the latest Google software and programs, and phones that run on customized software developed by the handset partner.' The former could face problems if Google decides to pull out of the country, but the others might not be affected.
　　
摩托罗拉软件应用部门副总裁怀亚特表示，Android既可以作为一个独立平台，也可以是其他公司与谷歌的商业合作，这二者之间泾渭分明。
'There's a clear separation of Android as a platform versus the commercial work done with Google,' Christy Wyatt, vice president of software applications for Motorola, told Dow Jones.
　　
谷歌并未对此事发表评论。
Google had no comment on the developments.
