谷歌平板能打敗蘋果iPad嗎？

????日前，《財富》技術頭腦風暴大會（Fortune Brainstorm Tech）在美國阿斯彭市召開。在今天的早餐討論會上，谷歌高管亨里克?德?卡斯特羅力圖向大家闡述，Android的開放性架構將成為其擊敗平板霸主iPad的關鍵差異性因素。

????德?卡斯特羅一邊撫摸著手中的Nexus 7，一邊解釋說：“現實情況是，如果生態系統能蓬勃發展，產品也能變得更好，而一個開放的系統必然能勝過封閉系統。我們相信開放性將為Android帶來莫大的裨益。”

????不過，幾乎所有與會者都擁有一部iPad，在這樣的場合，德?卡斯特羅當然會被大家群起攻之。

????風險投資家艾倫?帕提科夫反駁說：“但它無法吸引到消費者”。當德?卡斯特羅詢問大家Android還有什么地方需要改進時，帕提科夫回應說：“如果能更快、更便捷、更簡單、有更多功能的話就好了……我們都在期待安卓能夠拿出更優秀的東西。”

????During a breakfast panel today at Fortune Brainstorm Tech in Aspen, Google (GOOG) executive Henrique De Castro tried making the case that Android's open architecture will be the key differentiator that helps it topple iPad's dominance.

????"The reality is that the product is better when the ecosystem around it is better, and an open system is better than a closed system," Del Castro said, while cradling a Nexus 7 device in his hands. "We believe it will be a huge benefit."

????But in a room where almost every attendee acknowledged owning an iPad, there was plenty of pushback.

????"But that won't make people buy it," objected venture capitalist Alan Patricof. When Del Castro asked what Android would need, Patricof replied: "If it's faster, easier, simpler or has more features... We're all waiting for something better to come along."
