With Apple Watch Unveiled, Could an Ubuntu Smartwatch Be Next?
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Apple today confirmed its long-rumoured foray into the wearable computing market with the launch of ‘Apple Watch’.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Smartwatch – good idea?
|
||||
|
||||
Backed by a robust set of features, hardware solutions and app partnerships, the wrist mounted device is being heralded by the company as “a new chapter in the relationship people have with technology.”
|
||||
|
||||
But does its arrival, and the uptick in consumer interest it will likely bring, mean Ubuntu should follow with a version of Ubuntu for smartwatches?
|
||||
|
||||
### Big Hand Is On Success ###
|
||||
|
||||
Apple joins the fast growing smart-watch sector at just about the right time. The boundaries of what a wrist-mounted computer can and should do are not yet set in stone. Bad design, poor user interfaces, and weak arguments for the usefulness of wearable technology to mainstream users has seen the hardware category remains sufficiently impressionable — a factor that has allowed Cupertino to take its time with the Apple Watch.
|
||||
|
||||
> ‘More than 22 million smartwatches will be sold this year, say analysts’
|
||||
|
||||
Sales of wearables, including fitness trackers, last year were just shy of 10 million units worldwide. This year the number of devices analysts expect to see shifted will pass 22 million — and that’s without the Apple Watch, which doesn’t hit retail until early 2015.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s easy to see where the growth is going to come from. The IFA 2014 tradeshow held in Berlin at the start of September played host to a swathe of new wearables from major OEMs, including Sony and ASUS. Most are running Google’s newly released Android Wear platform.
|
||||
|
||||
A more mature offering, Android Wear debunks the novelty argument often associated with the form factor to present a consistent and convincing user scenario. Though, as with the new Apple Watch, it is one tightly hinging on an existing smartphone ecosystem.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether it’s a use case a wrist-mounted version Ubuntu can match isn’t (yet) clear.
|
||||
|
||||
#### ‘No Plans for an Ubuntu Smartwatch’ ####
|
||||
|
||||
The versatility of the Ubuntu OS combined with the stringent vision for a multi-device and convergent future has already seen Canonical target smart TVs, tablets and smartphones. Mir, the company’s homegrown display server, was even created to power interfaces on screens of all sizes (though admittedly not 1.5″ ones!).
|
||||
|
||||
At the start of this year then-Canonical community manager Jono Bacon was asked whether there were plans for an Ubuntu watch. Offering his opinion on the subject, Bacon mused: “adding another form factor to the [ubuntu touch] roadmap would only slow things down”.
|
||||
|
||||
As the two year anniversary of the Ubuntu Phone announcement approaches, it’s hard not to agree with him.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tick, Tock, Hedge-Your-Bets O’Clock ###
|
||||
|
||||
But all hope is not lost. In a [press call a few months later][1] Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth mentioned wearable technologies in the same breath as the company’s plans for TVs, tablets and smartphones, saying:
|
||||
|
||||
> “Ubuntu is really unique in that it has this beautiful design on the phone, but it’s also designed at the same time to feed all of those other ecosystems, from wearables to the PC.”
|
||||
|
||||
While far from concrete confirmation, it serves as a pointer; an optimistic hedge in that direction.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Not likely — and here’s why ####
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical is not averse to entering markets with entrenched monopolies. In fact, it’s in the DNA of the company — RHEL on servers, Windows on desktops, Android on smartphones…
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu for devices is built as such that it could be expended to and adapted to run on smaller screens, possible even those as small as a watch face. When the common code base is in place for phone, tablet, desktop and TV I’d be surprised if we didn’t see some sort of effort in this direction from the community.
|
||||
|
||||
But reason why I don’t think it’s likely to happen from Canonical’s side, at least not yet, is an echo of Jono Bacon’s personal thoughts earlier this year: time and effort.
|
||||
|
||||
Tim Cook said in his keynote: “*We didn’t take the iPhone and shrink the user interface and strap it on your wrist.*” It’s an obvious statement. Designing a UI and UX model for such a small screen; working through interaction methodologies; complimenting hardware and input models isn’t a simple task.
|
||||
|
||||
Wearable technology is still a nascent market. At this stage Canonical would be wasting development, design and business time in pursuing it. Any benefits would be outweighed by the loss in other, more pressing areas.
|
||||
|
||||
Playing the longer game, waiting it out to see where other efforts succeed and fail, is the harder route, but the one better suited to Ubuntu as it stands today. It’s better for Canonical to focus energies on existing products (which some argue are already arriving late) before throwing newer ones out ahead of them.

伴随苹果手表的揭幕，Ubuntu智能手表会成为下一个吗？
|
||||
===
|
||||
|
||||
**今天，苹果借助‘苹果手表’的发布，证实了其进军穿戴式计算设备市场的长期传言**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu智能手表 - 好的主意？
|
||||
|
||||
拥有一系列稳定功能，硬件解决方案和应用合作伙伴关系的支持，手腕穿戴设备被许多公司预示为“人与技术关系的新篇章”。
|
||||
|
||||
它的到来，以及用户兴趣的提升，有可能意味着Ubuntu需要遵循一个为智能手表定制的Ubuntu版本。
|
||||
|
||||
### 大的方面还是成功的 ###
|
||||
|
||||
苹果在正确时间加入了快速发展的智能手表部门。约束手腕穿戴电脑功能的界限并不是一成不变。失败的设计，不良的用户界面以及主流用户使用穿戴技术功能的弱参数化，这些都见证了硬件种类保持着高效的影响力 － 一个准许Cupertino把时间花费在苹果手表上的因素。
|
||||
|
||||
> ‘分析师说：超过2200万的智能手表将在今年销售’
|
||||
|
||||
去年全球范围内可穿戴设备的销售数量（包括健身追踪器）仅仅1000万。今年，分析师希望设备数量的改变可以超过2200万 － 不包括苹果手表，因为其直到2015年初才开始零售。
|
||||
|
||||
很容易就可以看出增长的来源。今年九月初柏林举办的IFA 2014展览会，展示了一系列来自主要制造商们的可穿戴设备，包括索尼和华硕。大多数搭载着Google最新发布的安卓穿戴系统。
|
||||
|
||||
一个更加成熟的表现：安卓穿戴设备打破了与形式因素保持一致的新奇争论，进而呈现出一致并令人折服的用户方案。和新的苹果手表一样，它紧密地连接在一个现存的智能手机生态系统上。
|
||||
|
||||
可能它只是一个使用案例，Ubuntu手腕穿戴系统是否能匹配它还不清楚。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 目前还没有Ubuntu智能手表的计划 ####
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu操作系统的通用性，结合以为多装置设备和趋势性未来定制的严格版本，已经产生了典型目标智能电视，平板电脑和智能手机。Mir,公司的本土显示服务器，被用来运转所有尺寸屏幕上的接口（虽然不是公认1.5"的）
|
||||
|
||||
今年年初，Canonical社区负责人Jono Bacon被询问是否有制作Ubuntu智能手表的打算。Bacon提供了他对这个问题的看法：“增加另一个形式因素到[Ubuntu触摸设备]路线只会减缓其余的东西”。
|
||||
|
||||
在Ubuntu电话发布两周年之际，我们还是挺赞同他的想法的。
|
||||
|
||||
滴答，滴答，对冲你的赌注点(实在不懂什么意思...)
|
||||
|
||||
但是并不是没有希望的。在一个[几个月之后的电话采访][1]中，Ubuntu创始人Mark Shuttleworth提及到可穿戴技术和智能电视，平板电脑，智能手机一样，都在公司计划当中。
|
||||
|
||||
> “Ubuntu因其在电话中的完美设计变得独一无二，但是它同时也被设计成满足其余生态系统的样子，比如从穿戴设备到PC机。”
|
||||
|
||||
然而这还没得到具体的证实，它更像一个指针，在这个方向是给我们提供一个乐观的指引。
|
||||
|
||||
### 不可能 — 这就是原因所在 ###
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical并不反对利用牢固的专利进军市场。事实上，它的重要性犹如公司的DHA — 犹如服务器上的RHEL,桌面上的Windows,智能手机上的安卓...
|
||||
|
||||
设备上的Ubuntu系统被制作成可以在更小的屏幕上扩展和适应性运行。甚至很有可能在和手表一样小的屏幕上运行。当普通的代码基础已经在手机，平板电脑，桌面和TV上准备就绪，我想如果我们没有看到来自社区这一方向上的努力，我会感到奇怪。
|
||||
|
||||
但是我之所以不认为它会从规范社区发生，至少目前还没有，是今年早些时候Jono Bacon个人思想的共鸣：时间和努力。
|
||||
|
||||
Tim Cook在他的主题演讲中说道：“*我们并没有追随iPhone，也没有缩水用户界面，将其强硬捆绑在你的手腕上。*”这是一个很明显的陈述。为如此小的屏幕设计UI和UX模型;通过交互原则工作;对硬件和输入模式的恭维，都不是一件容易的事。
|
||||
|
||||
可穿戴技术仍然是一个新兴的市场。在这个阶段，Canonical将会浪费发展，设计以及进行中的业务。在一些更为紧迫的地区，任何利益的重要性将要超过损失。
|
||||
|
||||
玩一局更久的游戏，等待直到看出那些努力在何地成功和失败，这是一条更难的路线。但是更适合Ubuntu的就是今天。在新产品出现之前，让Canonical把力量用在现存的产品上是更好的选择（这是一些已经来迟的理论）
