Apple iPad first mainland User Comments: excellent screen smoothly speed (Photos)
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009Apple iPad first mainland User Comments: excellent screen smoothly speed (Photos)
From January 28, 2010 officially released to the March 12, 2010 scheduled to begin, to April 2010 3
Officially for sale, it had received widespread attention from around the world, even before its release, the news about it on without interruption, the earliest dating back to almost the end of 2002. On dozens of versions of its name as many fans for its numerous modeling ideas. It is the Apple iPad.
How, in addition to
iPhone, there Which products have had such charm, in addition to Apple, there will be a result of which manufacturers were concerned about such a product, in addition to Jobs, who will be able to because of their own products and seven on board Time magazine's cover.
After long anticipation, the Apple iPad finally become a reality from the dream, to experience the first time this product, we not only keep the evening on March 12 in front of the computer booking a multiple iPad, also on April 3 correspondent to the United States from the sale of the Fifth Avenue Apple store line up to buy.
Tencent digital purchase more than iPad for evaluation
In the iPad before sale and related commentaries are also numerous, and some promote the good image iPad, while others sing the blues iPad, no matter how our argument, iPad has deserved to become a current concern of digital products, note that no one is unique.
Promote the good image iPad critics rarely comment from the appearance of more praise iPad success has nothing to do with the hardware, primarily under the support of the application opens up a new experience model, even Lenovo Consumer Business Unit, vice president and general Manager Liu Jie, referring to Apple
iPad time can not help that, iPad success is on the vertical integration of hardware and software integration of Internet content, which in the past of these bigwigs, referring to competitors often will say, we are not business friendly product evaluation.
Badmouth iPad comments will be starting from the appearance of criticizing the appearance of a lack of innovative iPad is the large size of the iTouch, then plunge into the design of iPad does not support Flash, no USB interface, high prices in areas such as critical, Microsoft's Bill cover Heights On iPad said, iPad is a reader only, and as a pioneer of this epoch-making product line, ASUS Vice President of Systems Business Group, Eric
Chen also said that iPad is not omnipotent, but the "big screen version of the iPhone" only.
Promote the good image worth mentioning, bad-mouth worth mentioning, I believe that all the products for Apple, there is no real experience of the users had no say. Then such a "mixed" product, how it let Tencent digital take you to experience it together.
Appearance Appreciation: Anyone can imitate simple to, but can not be easily surpass
In the iPad, we are talking about Tablet PC with a traditional keyboard TabletPC, who are able to use as an ordinary notebook, when necessary, you can rotate transform into flat, while the iPad the bold design of the keyboard removed.
Jobs is not clear the importance of the keyboard for the user, what he had dared to abolish the physical design of the keyboard is out of Apple's multi-touch technology, sensitivity of the trust, this move appears to be mad at others, but It is precisely because of this move, only to iPad may become an epoch-making change in the computer products market structure, we can imagine, iPad under an inverted if the standard or electronic reader like QWERT keyboard is how some nondescript circumstances.
iPad for the first time eliminated the physical keyboard design
iPhone is not the first touch screen phone, but there Which touch screen mobile phone users say their satisfaction in
iPhone on, iPad multi-touch technology from the
iPhone, for it had been tested by millions of users of technology, Steve Jobs is a very trusted, I get iPad are also holding before and after the same idea.
Apple iPad IPS with 9.7-inch multi-touch screen, looking ahead, in addition to a big screen just below a Home
Key, it is no longer a simple to design simple, anyone can imitate, but you want to go beyond is not an easy task.
iPad than ordinary A4 paper magazine to a small circle
iPad screen covered with glass, the back of the aluminum alloy material, the back of the streamline arc design, the design is exactly the same style and iPhone, iPad size
242.8mm x 189.7mm x13.4mm, the thickness of just more than iPhone
3GS a little thicker. However, because there is no phone function iPad, simple in appearance iPad is an enlarged version of the iPod touch
Very thin thickness of 13.4mm was
iPad back of the aluminum alloy material, the streamline arc design
We have to understand is that Apple's new product is first designed for the Apple fans, and is designed for the more users, iPhone 10 million worldwide users, iPad this design style is very easy to iPhone users with to intimacy and identity, while for non-Apple users, you need to accept it.
In fact, we have conducted a survey, as of press time, nearly 40 000 users were surveyed, although we can not determine how many of these users are Apple fans, but yet nearly 60% of the users that iPad most attractive person is that it is fashion design
iPad There are two versions, one is the WiFi version, the other was the WiFi +3 G version, we referred to as the 3G version, WiFi
Edition iPad weight is 680 grams, while the 3G version of the module increases as the weight of iPad 720 grams, regardless of which version of the iPad portability is very high, can be placed in any backpack or handbag, the exaggeration is to say, even packed in pocket, of course, your pocket and be large enough.
WiFi and 3G version version iPad
iPad is slightly different in appearance, WiFi Edition iPad back all covered aluminum alloy material, whole body into a bright silver, while the 3G version of iPad need to design 3G module, and allow users to change SIM
Card, so the back of upper body position is a black area, here is the SIM card holder, which is two versions of the iPad the most obvious difference. Here, let me talk, 3G version of iPad using
Micro
SIM card, China is now universal SIM and can not directly use, the domestic sale of 3G version if the iPad, the need for operator support on the SIM, of course, users can own DIY.
iPhone has a serious criticisms in the sense that the screen is exposed to fingerprints, the solution is first posted matte film, the second is usually the screen when not in use as far as possible down the display. iPad as adopted and
iPhone similar design, the same mode of operation using touch, and a larger screen, the unsatisfactory performance has also been inherited down the iPhone and iPad in terms of relative volume is much greater and can not lift up the bottom of the hand use, and require hand holding the side of the fuselage, so that after use, the screen will leave a lot of fingerprints, especially after the screen backlight turn off. Although the iPad fingerprint resistant screen used by the design of anti-oil coating, but still could not avoid trouble fingerprints.
Experience ease of use: multi-touch advantage of outstanding scalability is criticized
Apple iPad consistent with the simple design, positive in the bottom of the screen there is only one Home key, but do not worry portable operation, therefore iPad is a multi-touch, and the 9.7-inch screen, set the sensor points 1000 Therefore, very sensitive sensors.
Many first-time touch-screen computer, will feel less sensitive, resulting in lost interest on the touch screen computer, in fact, this is because the result of the different touch technology, iPhone users used to use other brands of touch in the phone and more Smooth Touch will feel that contempt, iPad follows
iPhone's touch technology, touch experience also can be integrated, if you use the touch of other computers, iPad will give you a new experience, if you have not used other touch computer, iPad is certainly deep deep attracted you, so you no longer want to touch with the other computer.
iPad design of the keys and the iPhone is similar, except the bottom of the Home screen
Key, a total of only four buttons around the fuselage. Located in the top left of the fuselage is the power switch, this would not have said, depends on the position at the right side of the fuselage is the screen rotation button and volume control button lock.
Only one Home button front
Body to the right of volume control keys and the screen lock button switch rotary
iPad with orientation sensor, the direction of rotation when the body can automatically rotate the screen, often this is a very useful function. IPad in the January 28 release, we have to live coverage of the United States, live our experience iPad, but still works on display were prototypes, screen rotation to provide the mute key lock function, after the release of the iPad, Apple also got the function keys were modified, is said to be taken into account when the user does not need the screen in certain auto-rotation, for example, read e-books in bed, when this key feature designed to lock the screen rather than the static spin sound more in line with customer needs.
Longitudinal use of the content can be displayed more
When rotating the screen without locking the screen automatically rotating body rotation
iPad expansion interface is very limited, apart from the fuselage beneath the base of the connector port, only the top of the power switch and body
3.5mm headphone jack up. iPad does not provide the most commonly used computer USB interface, and is not one, which many users can not imagine.
For the iPad, its main role is to enable users to enjoy through good experience to the Internet, iPad 80% of the time users are enjoying the Internet or iPad in existing content, 20% of the time would be to create the content, When you need to create content, they can use an external physical keyboard (Apple keyboard base official iPad be 69 U.S. dollars), Bluetooth mouse (iPad built-in Bluetooth module), can also dock connector port to connect the USB adapter.
Body at the bottom of the base is the main interface port
Of course, in addition to other Bluetooth, iPad almost all of the extensions are connected through the dock port to achieve, including the USB data transfer, VGA video output, charge, etc., if the number of operations to the same time, only a base connector port is not good enough, for trying to use iPad as computer users, the interface design can not be considered a limited Mishap in the.
Like previous Apple product, iPad is a highly integrated, while many people will iPad as a computer class, but
iPad are like as not to iPhone users may upgrade or replacement parts. First upgrade was not taken into account, iPad A4 using Apple processor, clocked at 1GHz, memory capacity has
16G, 32G and 64G are three options for users, which are unable to upgrade.
Batteries, iPad battery is unauthorized users can not be replaced, but is commendable that the iPad the battery life is far stronger than the iPhone, video playback up to 10-12 hours, then stand up to a month-long . If the battery is damaged, you can also replace the machine's approach to replace the battery, Apple is providing such services for the iPad, of course, users pay 99 U.S. dollars in service fees and
6.95 U.S. dollars of freight, and had to wait a week, but users also need to back up the iPad inside their own data. Of course, if taking into account the Huafei more than 100 U.S. dollars can be used for a new iPad, I believe many people will feel this policy is very good. United States, many users had complained when Apple launched iPhone battery replacement program does not provide fees and services, the Apple iPad than providing such services but also to avoid further trouble, and for users, this is a good shopping experience.
Comfort experience: IPS display superior results, the virtual keyboard has some drawbacks
iPad is equipped with a 9.7-inch LED backlit display IPS, IPS screen of the biggest advantages is the viewing angle, iPad screen and horizontal viewing angles and vertical viewing angle can reach 178 degrees, making the iPad the screen is not up and down points, regardless of is horizontal or vertical look to see, or from other point of view can be shown to achieve good results.
IPS screen, viewing angle is very large
iPad reflective screen is very serious
iPad
Also built of light sensor can automatically according to ambient light to adjust the brightness of the screen backlight brightness, one can effectively protect the vision, improve comfort, especially when e-books with iPad see the most obvious effect, also can to some extent to conserve electricity.
As regards e-books, we may wish to iPad, and a comparison of the Amazon Kindle. The biggest shortcoming is the Kindle only supports black and white display, and the screen is not backlit, iPad in the display is undoubtedly superior to many, it was also generated Kindle books available is the closest to real reading results, iPad reading results were not as Kindle. In this respect I do not comment on them, who better to know about their own use. iPad faster, bigger screen, the screen effect is more outstanding, to read at night without lights lighting, turning the pages when reading the paper overturning effects are real, more importantly, iPad more than just a reader.
iPad flip effect when reading
If less, I am afraid that is provided by the iBook Kindle e-book and a great number of gaps, but Apple and will not stand still, Apple is planning to Project Gutenberg, so iPad on
iBook
Store will be at least more than 30,000 free books for download, in addition, users can pay to read some newspapers and magazines. It is worth mentioning that Amazon has developed a Kindle
for
iPad software, making iPad Kindle users can also download e-book reading, a lot of people think that Apple will not pass the audit software, contractors who want Apple software, today has placed on the
App
Store shelves, very self-confident users to download with iPad Kindle e-book reading, so we have the opportunity to compare the two devices who is more suitable for reading.
iPad and Kindle comparison
iPad and iPhone uses the same multi-touch technology, touch experience is outstanding, many operators simply do not need an external mouse to complete, and for the old iPhone users, use the iPhone
3.5-inch touch screen can be completed a lot of action, such as copy, paste, file downloads, send and receive e-mail, web browsing, etc., use iPad
9.7-inch touch screen will be even more its capability.
iPad built-in virtual keyboard, at any time of need can very easily bring up the virtual keyboard when used horizontally when the iPad, the virtual keyboard keys are very large, although the virtual keyboard without key-way, a certain lack of feeling, but input is very convenient. However, when used in the iPad vertical, virtual keyboard, the keys will become very small, very inconvenient to use.
I first read the iPad the screen size is a very strange feeling, now popular wide screen, iPad how such a trendy product has been rarely used by a 4:3 screen resolution is 1024x768, only after understanding the use, Apple use the length and width small screen to the horizontal when the virtual keyboard to use iPad Bu Zhiyu taking up too much screen space.
Screen in a horizontal state, the virtual keyboard keys large, easy to use
Screen in a vertical state, the virtual keyboard keys small, inconvenient to use
Of course, iPad is not the iPhone, as the iPhone can not use, iPad Although the use and the same is the iPhone OS iPhone
3.x system, but iPad is a Tablet PC is a range in between the iPhone and MacBook equipment, iPad users access to existing content in addition to, at some point also need to create some of their content, iPad design the virtual keyboard is also available Keyboard
Dock as an attachment, but users need to spend 69 dollars to buy, so that when necessary, you can use an external physical keyboard, but do not have to be limited to the virtual keyboard.
Actual experience: does not support Flash has caused great inconvenience to the application
iPad with Apple A4 processor speeds up to 1GHz, which is a high-energy low-power processor, of course, is energy and other
ARM architecture processors, not the x86 architecture and Intel processors, low power aspects of the ARM processor architecture has inherent advantages, which is iPad battery life can be achieved
The key reason for 10-12 hours. iPhone 3GS with the processor is Cortex A8, clocked at 600MHz, both the same, iPhone OS
3.x system, iPhone's many applications are available on the iPad used directly, so a comparison iPad iPhone's multi-faster.
The new iPad purchased can not be directly used to activate through iTunes, and must use the latest ITunes
9.1, old versions of iTunes are not recognized iPad's.
Interface and the iPhone after boot iPad is similar, sub-bottom of the screen the main screen, and two critical applications, as
iPad does not support the call, so critical applications bottom of the screen instead of using Photos Phone, four key applications are Safari (browse the web use), Mail (send and receive mail using), Photos (see photo used) and iPod (listening Music used), which is a few main features iPad. The main screen provides a number of applications, including calendar, contacts, memos, maps, video, YouTube, iTunes, App
Store, iBooks, iWork, etc., you add more applications, the more the number of the main screen, up to 11 main screen with a finger swipe can switch the main screen, operate the same way, and iPhone. You can iPad directly on the management of the main screen, you can manage the computer business iTunes and then sync to the main screen on the iPad.
The main application screen
Map display
iBooks are iPad most highlights an application can directly access through the iBooks iBook Store, iBook
Store in bookshelves in the form of presentation, choose one of the one can directly read, when the body is in horizontal state when the screen can display the contents of two pages. In his studies, iPad can built-in light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness, you can own to fix the screen brightness manually. Is precisely because the iPad comes with iBooks, many regard the iPad and Amazon
Kindle comparison, although the iBook
Store the current number of books is still relatively limited, but this is only a matter of time, I still believe Apple's appeal in the industry and resource integration capability.
iBook Store shelf-like effect of rendering
iWork includes Keynote, Pages, Numbers 3 application functionality is similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and
Excel, thanks to the good iPad multi-touch experience, without using an external keyboard and mouse of the case, can also be used by the three iWork applications to create the effect of a very good document. Microsoft now appears to be no development for the iPad Office application program, so for the iPad the users, and Windows users in the document's compatibility is a big problem.
iPad Although very powerful, does not support Adobe's Flash technology, Steve Jobs, said in explaining the problem
Adobe, too lazy, no amendment to Flash as soon as possible loopholes, the system will affect the stability and security, such as Flash technology's battery life on the iPad have a great impact, does not support Flash technology, battery cases iPad 10 hours, while the support Flash technology can be used after the iPad battery only 2 hours, after assessment of the apple was removed iPad
Flash support. General industry view is that Apple against the Internet's most popular Flash technology is unwise, Adobe's CEO Shantanu? Na Leien said, iPad does not support Adobe Flash is not because too lazy, and all because of Apple wrong. Tanu? Na Leien said, Adobe has been very transparent, and has been committed to the Flash used in a variety of platforms, iPad does not support Flash technology has nothing to do with technology.
Not display Flash content
Although both saliva constantly, iPad until the sale has not officially support Flash, so no way for us to use
iPad normal browsing websites using Flash technology has, for example, have always been famous video site. Recent news that some well-known sites as the United States iPad does not support Flash, Flash content has been fully abandoned in favor of using HTML5, CSS3 and
JavaScript standards to provide multimedia content, these websites, including CNN, Reuters, The New York Times, Time magazine and, of course, including some sites have been using HTML5 standards, are not specifically optimized for the iPad. Jobs is boldly against the Flash, is that HTML5 will replace the one hand, Flash is a trend, the other is the appeal of Apple in the industry are very confident, but the advertising users, we must eat a lot to beat.
iPad dedicated App
Store in the sale before the on-line, in addition to a large number of iPhone programs can run directly on the iPad, the developers also iPad developed specific applications. iPhone's program
iPad when running on two display, a size that is in accordance with the original resolution of 320x480 display, the other is full-screen resolution is 1024x768 display, because
iPad screen resolution larger than the iPhone's many, iPhone application in the iPad on the full screen display when the results were not good, but iPad proprietary process in the resolution of the special aspects of the setting, iPad of application name is usually the end of HD is also for this reason.
While Apple iPad sale, Tencent QQ HD for
iPad also released from the initial trial of view, very beautiful interface, at the same time the owner has a more intuitive and user-friendly operation interface, and the QQ
HD is a free application. Think about such a large screen in the chat, you can even chat in bed is a matter how pleasant.
QQ HD for iPad
QQ HD for iPad
And, like iPhone, iPad does not support third-party programs to run multi-tasking, which is iPhone OS
A lack of 3.x, iPad before publishing the industry rumored iPad may be pre-installed iPhone OS supports multi-task
4.0, but the fact that extremely disappointing to see the situation iPhone OS 4.0 have to wait a long time.
iPad only supports Apple's official application layer multi-task programs running, iPhone on order to achieve true multi-task, need to jailbreak and install third-party program to achieve, but Apple apparently does not support this behavior is true for the iPad.
Written in the last: iPad is not perfect, but it remains a landmark product
No, like a product can iPad sharply different views of everyone into two factions, Apple fans have spared no effort to defend against iPad iPad, constantly promote iPad creative features and excellent user experience, and people criticized iPad iPad is the appearance of lack of creativity has repeatedly said, low cost, the actual function of weak, poor scalability, this is a very interesting phenomenon, in fact, many of Apple's products are highly controversial, because Apple itself is very closed Apple products are also provided for the minority, and only a small number of people using Apple's Mac, iPod, iPhone and other products, but Apple has a very high user loyalty that other brands can not match any , so the attack iPad manufacturers may wish to consider this because e is located.
iPad hardware itself is not surprising, 1HGz the ARM architecture processor performance is very ordinary, but the vast majority of x86 processors can not be compared, iPad provides 10 hours of battery life is a lot of notebooks have been realized, iPad up with storage only 64GB, iPad minimum distribution also need 499 U.S. dollars, equivalent to RMB
More than 3,000 dollars to spend this price can buy a good performance, functions, support for Flash also has lots of USB interface, the notebook, but some people in the eyes of this "useless" and
iPad but is so welcomed by the users, sought after by the industry.
After the number of people in the iPad talking about Tablet PCs, the iPad or after the introduction of multi-vendor plans to launch Tablet PC, see the Apple iPad fully understand the influence of the.
The success can be iPad entirely by hardware, but by a kind of thinking, Jobs has not used the computer to do the thinking
iPad, there is no physical keyboard design, no design USB interface, do not use Mac
OS system, but the iPad positioned between the iPhone and MacBook, by a large number of applications to support This achievement hardware commonplace, but function is very powerful iPad, of course, there is a very important point behind is the iPad with user Experience excellent multi-touch technology.
In short, a good user experience more in touch with the technical support, applications rely on mass support, the various elements of the Internet was effectively integrated, allowing users to enjoy the simple comfort of the contents of the Internet, and needs when it comes to conduct their own creation, which is understood by the author
iPad essence.
iPad there are many deficiencies, I do not deny these deficiencies, iPad is not perfect, but no doubt that Apple iPad is a cross-age products.

The White House said the Google of China and was disappointed not to reach agreement
Reuters, Washington, March 22 - --- The White House Monday on Google (Google) (GOOG.O:
Quote) failed to reach agreement with the Chinese government expressed regret, Google decided to move to Hong Kong, the Chinese Internet search service.
"The Chinese government and Google failed to search services in China to reach agreement, we are really disappointed," President Obama's National Security Council spokesman Mike
Hammer said.
"Google, in announcing the decision long ago, informed the National Security Council staff. Google to make the decision is based on the Company believes that this decision is consistent with their interests," he said.
Google China earlier announced its Google.cn search engine directly to the google.com.hk Hong Kong-based Web site, after the Chinese Government on the companies operating in China without a review of search engine failure of the negotiations.
This decision comes against the Sino-US exchange rate from the network freely to and from the economic sanctions against Iran to the United States arms sales to Taiwan and other issues on the dispute escalation.
Hammer said the United States against Internet censorship, and commitment to Internet freedom. But he stressed that the matter is not expected to Sino-US relations in other areas affected.
He said, "Sino-US relations are mature enough to accommodate any differences.
Bureau of the State Council Information Office of the networks in the head early this morning on Google announced that in accordance with Chinese law to stop harmful information filtering, to search go to Hong Kong from the Mainland of China issued a statement. The official pointed out that foreign companies operating in China must abide by Chinese laws. Google to enter the Chinese market, the company contrary to the written commitment to stop the search filter, and to insinuate and accuse China of hacking, this is completely wrong. We resolutely oppose politicizing the issue of business on Google and practices of the company's unreasonable criticism expressed dissatisfaction and indignation.
The official said, on January 12 in Google with the Chinese government without prior ventilation of the case, the public statement, claiming that the government supported by the Chinese hacker attacks, do not want to operate in China, "under review, Internet search engine ", and" consider withdrawing from the Chinese market. " Repeated at the request of Google Inc., to personally hear their true thoughts, reflect China's sincerity, this year on Jan. 29, Feb. 25 concerned departments of the Chinese government twice with Google Talk and corporate executives, the question of its made a patient and meticulous explanations, emphasizing foreign companies operating in China should abide by Chinese laws, such as Google Inc. is willing to abide by Chinese laws, we still welcome the Google company operating in China and development; such as Google Inc. insisted on Google China web site's search service withdrawal It is Google's own thing, but it must be in accordance with Chinese law and international practice, a responsible job in the aftermath.
The official pointed out that the Chinese government encourages the development and popularization of the Internet to promote the Internet open. China's Internet exchanges and remarks are very active, e-commerce has developed rapidly. Facts show that China's investment in the Internet environment, development environment is good. China will unswervingly uphold the policy of opening up, China welcomes foreign enterprises to participate in development of the Internet, and business development in China for foreign investors to provide good service. China's Internet still will maintain the momentum of rapid development.
Beijing March 23 3:03 am, Google senior vice president, chief legal officer David Drummond • a public statement, the question once again accused by hackers in China, announced the end to Google search services in China "filter review "and go search service in Hong Kong from the Mainland.

A new approach to China: an update
3/22/2010 12:03:00 PM
On January 12, we announced on this blog that Google and more than
twenty other US companies had been the victims of a sophisticated
cyber attack originating from China, and that during our
investigation into these attacks we had uncovered evidence to
suggest that the Gmail accounts of dozens of human rights activists
connected with China were being routinely accessed by third
parties, most likely via phishing scams or malware placed on their
computers. We also made clear that these attacks and the
surveillance they uncovered-combined with attempts over the last
year to further limit free speech on the web in China including the
persistent blocking of websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,
Google Docs and Blogger-had led us to conclude that we could no
longer continue censoring our results on Google.cn.
So earlier today we stopped censoring our search services-Google
Search, Google News, and Google Images-on Google.cn. Users visiting
Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are
offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically
designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers
in Hong Kong. Users in Hong Kong will continue to receive their
existing uncensored, traditional Chinese service, also from
Google.com.hk. Due to the increased load on our Hong Kong servers
and the complicated nature of these changes, users may see some
slowdown in service or find some products temporarily inaccessible
as we switch everything over.
Figuring out how to make good on our promise to stop censoring
search on Google.cn has been hard. We want as many people in the
world as possible to have access to our services, including users
in mainland China, yet the Chinese government has been crystal
clear throughout our discussions that self-censorship is a
non-negotiable legal requirement. We believe this new approach of
providing uncensored search in simplified Chinese from
Google.com.hk is a sensible solution to the challenges we've
faced-it's entirely legal and will meaningfully increase access to
information for people in China. We very much hope that the Chinese
government respects our decision, though we are well aware that it
could at any time block access to our services. We will therefore
be carefully monitoring access issues, and have created this new
web page, which we will update regularly each day, so that everyone
can see which Google services are available in China.
In terms of Google's wider business operations, we intend to
continue R & D work in China and also to maintain a sales
presence there, though the size of the sales team will obviously be
partially dependent on the ability of mainland Chinese users to
access Google.com.hk. Finally, we would like to make clear that all
these decisions have been driven and implemented by our executives
in the United States, and that none of our employees in China can,
or should, be held responsible for them. Despite all the
uncertainty and difficulties they have faced since we made our
announcement in January, they have continued to focus on serving
our Chinese users and customers. We are immensely proud of
them.
Posted by David Drummond, SVP, Corporate Development and Chief
Legal Officer
January 12 we announced here, Google and other more than 20 U.S. companies launched from China in a sophisticated network attacks as the victim. In the investigation of these attacks, we found evidence that dozens of Chinese human rights activists in the Gmail account is a third party (except for Google and users themselves) regularly log on, and most likely placed in the user's computer through in phishing or malicious software to trap.
We further clarify that these attacks and show through the back of its "supervisory power", and last year China's move to further restrict the freedom of speech network - for example, China has shielded
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Docs and Google
Blogger. All of these so we decided that we could no longer continue to review the Google.cn in the search results.
So earlier today, we stopped Google.cn search, information, and review of image search results. Now users will automatically go to visit Google.cn
Google.com.hk, we will be here in simplified Chinese to provide search results without the review, the service is especially designed for users in mainland China, and will through our servers located in Hong Kong.

In the recently held National People's Congress, China's official hard to express, Google must continue to abide by Chinese laws, or you'll face the consequences.
In recent days, China's reaction seems to increase in intensity. Over the past weekend, China's official Xinhua News Agency published a commentary article, close to the Cold War with words on Google launched a fierce attack. Xinhua article said
"Google China does not seem real purpose of 'expanding business', but as the use of the Internet out of ideas, cultural infiltration, infiltration values tool" Google "and schemed to U.S. values and evaluation standards on China"; Google trying to "change China's social system"; the establishment of America's "hegemonic ideology" of "cultural hegemony"; Google out of China, "U.S. politicians and some government agencies 'jumped onto the stage', 'will perform a farce'."

He said that under one-party dominance, the right of people to the public is no stranger to outrageous, but also knowledge of the Party is all too much of a "right" and "there are ways."
At the same time, China's official media have widely reported a joint letter advertising agencies in China, claiming that if Google China to withdraw, they will ask for compensation.
