Would you like to know the meaning of Android's European prospects? View of China

Until the end of the current calendar year, Google will levy a license royalty in Europe for the Play Store and applications such as YouTube and Gmail to meet the European Commission's cartel decision. Equipment manufacturers will soon have to make up their minds as to whether Google service usage is subject to a payment, while Android remains freely usable as an OS.

Under these new circumstances, the European outlook for Android could change drastically, becoming a reduced edition that maintains the operating system but provides fragmentary alternative to the once important Google service. So, what would that look like? This is most clearly the case in China, where Google is completely outlawed.

Instead, every smart-phone business (that's not Apple) operates a copy of Android, but there are over 400 apple shops in China instead of the Google Play Store. Out of the approximately 400 branches, 10 are capturing the largest part of the country's total retail space, among them Tencent's Myapp, 360 Mobile Assistant and Baidu Mobile Assistant.

According to the industry analysts group Newzoo, the newest version of the product is only 3 per cent of Apple iPhone installations in July. Naturally, there is still a big gap between Europe and China. A large part of China is still under development and the nation is governed by an autocratic state.

However, the main concept of having multiple hub sites to find new downloadable applications and utilities is still the same. China's fragmentary eco-system of appe stores is creating a variety of different environments. Every application in China has a different evaluation system and a different user base that evaluates an application.

Various shops also present applications in a different order, with their own options for which applications should be highlighted or displayed in the results. Tencent's Myapp and 360 Mobile Assistant, for example, include chapters that enumerate the most common applications among men and woman. Android' s huge and fragmented nature in China, which differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, means that the typical China consumer uses almost 40 applications per months and about 11 per days on his mobile device, according to App Annie.

The figures are slightly higher than those of US and European consumers. It is also more likely that they have a 100 applications in all on their mobile telephones. By 2013, 25 per cent of China's consumers said that the most important thing about a smart phone is that it has a lot of applications, Nielsen states.

In fact, the need for more applications has led China's smart-phone industry to be among the first to provide 1TB of disk space. Traditionally, seemingly random choices are made by seemingly random choices, and often seem to be based on what is pre-installed on their mobile phone. China's largest smart phone manufacturers - Huawei, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi - all have their own application store on their equipment.

On the grey and unlicensed phone markets, they are sometimes pre-installed on less favored application locations, which is much of the fragmenting part of the overall mobile phone population. According to Nielsen, only 15 per cent of China's consumers purchased their telephones directly from the producer in 2012. A few applications also get better services updated, according to the developer.

For example, those who use Tencent's favorite WeChat application will probably also want to try downloading Tencent's Myapp, where the latest release of the dominating online community application will be published before it is made available in the shops of others. Simultaneously, since there are so many application storefronts, Chinese designers have to submit an application to each application storefront if they want to integrate their products.

Huawei's application reviewer policies, for example, demand that vendors deliver the registry, the stationery, a fully customized copy of their application, and adherence to stringent compliance policies. Although the application chain does not vary much from application to application, it will be much more timeconsuming to get a large part of the populace than to apply only to the game.

It has established many Chinese marketers and channels partners that make it easy for application designers to ensure that their applications are widely used. As it can be timeconsuming to apply for an application to be added to an Apple Retail App Store, some designers limit their choices to those shops that provide better discounts.

For example, the Baidu Mobile Assistant provides the option of displaying applications in a prominent position in its results. Payed appraisals in China are unusual, and Xiaomi's Apo is one of the few to focus on them. On the other side, the 360 Mobile Assistant is an old favourite that has been number one or two in the chart for four years.

China's Apple application retail outlets also account for a greater share of developers' revenue than the Apple application retail outlet or the Google Play Shop. Whereas 30 per cent of in-app sales by default go to the Apple Retailer, China's wireless service provider charges a further 30 per cent, unless the user pays via WeChat or Alipay.

The European countryside should be better organised in order to limit charges to more appropriate sums. Removing Android from its clustered Google service could give much more room for competition to take full benefit. In the absence of built-in key pillar applications such as Google Maps and YouTube, the European competition could open up for local businesses to compete directly with the consumer or through OEMs.

Educationalists might also find a way to somehow connect to Google as they do in China over a VPN. Maybe devices manufacturers will just increase the charge, because they know that there are no sustainable alternative locally to YouTube, the Play Store and Google Maps.
