China's tried to create its very own mobile OS ecosystem in the past, but
let's face it, the attempt with OPhone was hardly something that would make
the nation proud. This time round, though, a company by the name of Shanghai
Liantong has joined forces with the ISCAS (Institute of Software at the
Chinese Academy of Sciences) and the government to launch COS, which simply
stands for China Operating System. While there's no official mention of this
, it appears that HTC is a big supporter behind this project, which would
match what we heard from a Wall Street Journal report from August.
Apart from the open source code, this Linux-based OS is said to be developed
"entirely independently," in the hopes of breaking the foreign software
monopoly, as well as providing better localization for the likes of language
input, cloud services and monetization. At yesterday's launch event, the
head of ISCAS criticized iOS for being a closed ecosystem, while Android has
the infamous fragmentation problem, and both Windows plus Android are let
down by poor security.
Ironically, all the COS variants -- in the form of phones, tablets, PCs and
set top boxes -- shown in the promo video after the break are very Android-
like, and some of those features like multi-tasking, content streaming plus
remote desktop are nothing new. Even the HTC One and Butterfly S we saw
looked like they were still carrying Sense 5. But hey, maybe such a close
relationship with the Chinese government is just what HTC needs for its
recovery this year.
