數(shù)據(jù)底座

Have you ever thought that Smartphones these days are so advanced they could actually replace the PC in your everyday computing life? Today, we here at HTG will review using the Galaxy S4 with the “Smart Dock Multimedia Hub” as a PC replacement.

您是否曾經(jīng)想過(guò)，如今的智能手機(jī)是如此先進(jìn)，以至于實(shí)際上可以在您的日常計(jì)算生活中取代PC？ 今天，我們?cè)贖TG舉行的會(huì)議將回顧將Galaxy S4與“ Smart Dock多媒體中心”作為PC替代產(chǎn)品的使用。

The bottom line

底線

For the really impatient reader, YES, this setup does bring a huge productivity boost, even for non-ROOTed users. With that said, it is probably not ready to be everyone’s daily driver just yet.

對(duì)于不耐煩的讀者，是的，即使對(duì)于非root用戶，此設(shè)置也確實(shí)可以極大地提高生產(chǎn)率。 話雖如此，現(xiàn)在還可能還不是成為每個(gè)人的日常司機(jī)。

作者的閑逛 (Author’s ramblings)

I’ve made a personal bet?that by the year 2023 there will no longer be “Personal Computers” a.k.a. “PCs”. As in, they might still exist, just like the “Workstation” does, but they are far from being the mainstream norm. Another comparison is the fact that you can make good money being a COBOL programmer today (30 years after it has practically lost its relevance), though it doesn’t make it the mainstream norm.

我個(gè)人打賭，到2023年，將不再有“個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)”或“ PC”。 就像“工作站”一樣，它們可能仍然存在，但它們遠(yuǎn)非主流規(guī)范。 另一個(gè)比較是，您可以成為當(dāng)今的COBOL程序員(實(shí)際上已經(jīng)失去相關(guān)性30年了)，卻可以賺很多錢(qián)，盡管這并沒(méi)有使其成為主流規(guī)范。

I contend that PCs will most certainly not be the clunky, mammoth towers of plastic, metal and silicon we hide beneath our desks or even lug around with us to put on our laps. I think that the Ubuntu Touch “dream” is not as far in the future as people might think. With the rise of the “Cloud” and HTML5, it is my conjecture that Smartphones will eventually overtake or even completely replace PCs, and it could happen in the foreseeable future.

我認(rèn)為，PC絕不會(huì)是笨拙，笨拙的塑料，金屬和硅質(zhì)塔，它們藏在我們的辦公桌下，甚至連我們都掛在膝上。 我認(rèn)為， Ubuntu Touch的“夢(mèng)想”在未來(lái)不會(huì)像人們想象的那樣遙遠(yuǎn)。 我猜想隨著“云”和HTML5的興起，智能手機(jī)最終將取代或什至完全取代PC，并且有可能在可預(yù)見(jiàn)的將來(lái)發(fā)生。

With the above in mind, when I came across the “Smart Dock Multimedia Hub“, I had to see how deeply does the geek rabbit hole go. Not in a couple of years, but TODAY.

基于上述考慮，當(dāng)我遇到“ Smart Dock多媒體中心”時(shí)，我不得不看到極客兔子洞的深度。 不是幾年，而是今天。

Setup & Dock review

設(shè)置和塢檢

As stated, my setup consists of a Samsung Galaxy S4 (which is NOT ROOTed) and its compatible dock.

如前所述，我的安裝程序包括一個(gè)Samsung Galaxy S4(未根目錄)及其兼容的基座。

Here’s an uninteresting, sloppy at best, unboxing video for the dock.

這是一個(gè)毫無(wú)趣味的，充其量是隨意的，為擴(kuò)展塢拆箱視頻。

Once the dock was unboxed, plugging it in took about 5 seconds.

將擴(kuò)展塢拆箱后，將其插入大約需要5秒鐘。

With that said, I wouldn’t be a geek if I didn’t go “all the way” and try to connect my desktop’s LCD. While my LCD screen has a Dport input port, surprisingly enough, despite the close relationship between HDMI and Dport, no converter that I could get my hands on would make the HDMI output from the dock give a picture on the screen. Having said that, using an HDMI to DVI converter worked perfectly and on the first go.

話雖如此，如果我不“全力以赴”嘗試連接臺(tái)式機(jī)的LCD，那我不會(huì)是個(gè)極客。 盡管我的LCD屏幕具有Dport輸入端口，但令人驚訝的是，盡管HDMI和Dport之間有著密切的聯(lián)系，但我無(wú)法動(dòng)手使用的任何轉(zhuǎn)換器都不會(huì)使擴(kuò)展塢的HDMI輸出在屏幕上顯示圖像。 話雖這么說(shuō)，但使用HDMI到DVI轉(zhuǎn)換器的初衷是完美的。

If this was only a “Review” for the Dock, then we would be done, as there is actually nothing more to say about the hunk of metal and plastic that, unless you try to be a smart-ass and connect the HDMI output through a converter, works well. The HTG added value that we can give you is that while the Dock “steals” about 200mA from the 2000mA feed (probably for the USB hub operation), the fact that you are actually charging your phone (and quickly too) while your using it is nothing short of amazing.

如果這只是Dock的“復(fù)習(xí)”，那么我們就可以完成，因?yàn)閷?shí)際上沒(méi)有更多關(guān)于金屬和塑料的說(shuō)法，除非您想成為一個(gè)智能助手并通過(guò)以下方式連接HDMI輸出轉(zhuǎn)換器，效果很好。 我們可以為您提供的HTG附加值是，當(dāng)Dock從2000mA饋電“竊取”約200mA電流(可能用于USB集線器操作)時(shí)，您在使用時(shí)實(shí)際上正在為手機(jī)充電(并且很快)令人驚訝。

We will dig into the Android desktop experience below.

我們將在下面深入探討Android桌面體驗(yàn)。

The Fantastic & Intuitive Android Desktop

神奇而直觀的Android桌面

Using this setup really felt like I was catapulted into the “always on & always connected” future. In this buttery smooth future, programs are quick, simple, and easy to use. They launch very quickly, respond quickly and do what they are supposed to do quickly and well.

使用此設(shè)置確實(shí)使我仿佛進(jìn)入了“始終在線且始終保持連接”的未來(lái)。 在如此艱難的未來(lái)中，程序?qū)⒖焖?#xff0c;簡(jiǎn)單且易于使用。 他們可以快速啟動(dòng)，Swift做出React，并可以快速，好地完成他們應(yīng)該做的事情。

The old “It’s Tuesday, you need to install updates and restart your system, which will take an hour and a half of your life (well it won’t, but it will feel like it did)” days are gone. There is no obligation to update if you don’t want to. In fact, my mother has a galaxy S1 whose apps only get updated when I come over to visit and take the time (at her request) to fondle her device (so roughly about once a year…). And that’s just apps; her OS? That could have been easily been successfully un-updated till the day that phone died, because as a regular-user, she wouldn’t even know there are options past the stock OS version (which isn’t even supported by the vendor anymore).

舊的“現(xiàn)在是星期二，您需要安裝更新并重新啟動(dòng)系統(tǒng)，這將花費(fèi)一個(gè)半小時(shí)的時(shí)間(雖然不會(huì)，但是會(huì)感覺(jué)確實(shí)如此)”的日子已經(jīng)過(guò)去了。 如果您不想更新，則沒(méi)有義務(wù)。 實(shí)際上，我母親有一個(gè)銀河S1，只有當(dāng)我來(lái)參觀并花時(shí)間(應(yīng)她的要求)擺弄她的設(shè)備時(shí)(大約每年一次)，其應(yīng)用程序才會(huì)更新。 那只是應(yīng)用程序； 她的操作系統(tǒng)？ 在手機(jī)死機(jī)之前，可以很容易地成功取消更新，因?yàn)樽鳛槠胀ㄓ脩?#xff0c;她甚至不知道庫(kù)存OS版本以后還有其他選項(xiàng)(供應(yīng)商甚至不再支持)。 。

Anyone who picks up a Smartphone can immediately use it (even if not to its full potential), unlike other OSs which can take literally a lifetime to only begin to scratch the surface of (I’m looking right at ya GNU/Linux…).

拿起智能手機(jī)的任何人都可以立即使用它(即使沒(méi)有充分發(fā)揮其潛力)，這與其他操作系統(tǒng)可能要花一生的時(shí)間才開(kāi)始摸索(我正在研究GNU / Linux…)不一樣。 。

Here is me using the Android desktop:

這是我使用的Android桌面：

Part of this fantastica-city was that the Keyboard and Mouse inputs were simple and intuitive. With the external keyboard, the media buttons (Volume up/down and Play buttons) worked as they should “out of the box”, no questions asked. I did not have to wait for any driver download or anything of the sort (in fact, I am actually using them behind a KVM and a USB HUB with no issues).

這個(gè)夢(mèng)幻般的城市的一部分是鍵盤(pán)和鼠標(biāo)輸入既簡(jiǎn)單又直觀。 使用外部鍵盤(pán)，媒體按鈕(“上/下”和“播放”按鈕)可以“開(kāi)箱即用”地工作，沒(méi)有任何問(wèn)題。 我不必等待任何驅(qū)動(dòng)程序下載或任何類型的驅(qū)動(dòng)程序(實(shí)際上，我實(shí)際上是在KVM和USB HUB后面使用它們，沒(méi)有問(wèn)題)。

The mouse is a replacement for your finger, where the “Left click” acts as your touch on the device’s screen would. The one thing these new systems abandon (with good reason) is the double click. Thus, there is no more confusion on when to use a single click VS a double click… there simply is no double click.

鼠標(biāo)是手指的替代品，“左鍵單擊”就像在設(shè)備屏幕上的觸摸一樣。 這些新系統(tǒng)放棄的一件事(有充分的理由)是雙擊。 因此，在何時(shí)使用單擊與雙擊時(shí)就不再有混淆了……根本就沒(méi)有雙擊。

The “Right click”, in total shock to the conventional desktop experience, does NOT bring up the “Menu” (as one might expect). Instead, the right click is another way of invoking a system “Back” action. IMHO, this actually makes more sense for the average, non-power users, who just want to “get outta here” and don’t spend their time in every aspect of the system’s properties. Like it has been said, “Users don’t want to use your program, users want to have been used your program” (the incorrect grammar is deliberate), and they don’t care at all how software works as long as it gets them to the goal they wanted to achieve.

“右鍵單擊”完全不影響傳統(tǒng)的臺(tái)式機(jī)體驗(yàn)，卻無(wú)法調(diào)出“菜單”(可能會(huì)讓人想到)。 相反，右鍵單擊是調(diào)用系統(tǒng)“后退”操作的另一種方法。 恕我直言，這對(duì)于普通的，非高級(jí)用戶來(lái)說(shuō)更有意義，他們只是想“離開(kāi)這里”，而不是花時(shí)間在系統(tǒng)屬性的各個(gè)方面。 就像已經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)的那樣：“用戶不想使用您的程序，用戶想要已經(jīng)使用了您的程序”(錯(cuò)誤的語(yǔ)法是故意的)，并且他們根本不在乎軟件如何工作，只要它能夠他們達(dá)到他們想要實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)。

The “Middle click”, while rarely used on a desktop by anyone other than uber-shortcut aficionados , is extremely handy. Here, the middle or scroll wheel button click is another way of invoking a system “Home” action, and is used as often as one would use the “Home” button on the phone.

“超級(jí)點(diǎn)擊”，除了超級(jí)捷徑的愛(ài)好者以外，很少有人在桌面上使用，它非常方便。 在這里，單擊中鍵或滾輪按鈕是調(diào)用系統(tǒng)“主頁(yè)”操作的另一種方式，其使用頻率與使用電話上的“主頁(yè)”按鈕的頻率相同。

While it took a couple of minutes to get used to the mouse control layout (for example the “no right click for properties as on Windows” thing), I’ve actually found myself (when switching back) wishing the mouse worked like that on Windows.

雖然花了幾分鐘來(lái)習(xí)慣鼠標(biāo)控件的布局(例如，“在Windows上沒(méi)有右鍵單擊屬性”的東西)，但我實(shí)際上發(fā)現(xiàn)自己(當(dāng)切換回時(shí))希望鼠標(biāo)在視窗。

Once the shock from the changed input methods wore off, I realized that my entire system is now one surprise after another…

一旦改變的輸入法帶來(lái)的沖擊消失了，我意識(shí)到我的整個(gè)系統(tǒng)現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)又一個(gè)驚喜。

What surprised me for the better

什么讓我感到驚訝

I was really surprised that I didn’t really miss that much of a beat compared to the desktop. Most of the things any normal user would want out of his system, either just exist or are an app/quick configuration away. Things like:

與臺(tái)式機(jī)相比，我真的沒(méi)有錯(cuò)過(guò)這么多拍子讓我感到非常驚訝。 任何普通用戶想要從他的系統(tǒng)中獲得的大多數(shù)東西，要么只是存在，要么是應(yīng)用程序/快速配置。 像：

• SMSing with a full keyboard — Things like sending a message with SMS, WhatsApp and even Facebook’s “faces”, are now all at my fingertips with a full QWERTY keyboard… the joy is indescribable.

  全鍵盤(pán)SMSing -比如將消息發(fā)送短信，WhatsApp的，甚至Facebook的“面Kong”，現(xiàn)在都在我的指尖了QWERTY全鍵盤(pán)...喜悅是難以形容的。

• Eco-system support — It is no longer the early days of android where you would be lucky to have anything from the desktop. Many things nowadays come for the Smartphone first or at least have a sufficiently functional replacement. I was sure that when I made the switch from my desktop to the android, I would lose many things. I found out quickly that if you look for a solution, that you can probably find one in Google Play and that more often than not it will be free. I was even able to find a replacement for MS Office. There are tons of apps that will not give you the full desktop experience, but will give just enough that you may be able to forgo the need for one. For example, with Godaddy’s app I was even able to change the DNS records of my domain.

  生態(tài)系統(tǒng)支持-不再是Android的早期時(shí)代，您將很幸運(yùn)能夠從桌面獲得任何東西。 如今，智能手機(jī)首先要具備很多功能，或者至少具有足夠功能的替代品。 我確定當(dāng)我從桌面切換到android時(shí)，我會(huì)失去很多東西。 我很快發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果您尋找一種解決方案，則可能可以在Google Play中找到一個(gè)解決方案，而且這種解決方案通常是免費(fèi)的。 我什至可以找到MS Office的替代品。 有很多應(yīng)用程序無(wú)法為您提供完整的桌面體驗(yàn)，但可以滿足您的需求，您也許可以放棄其中的一個(gè)。 例如，使用Godaddy的應(yīng)用程序，我什至可以更改我的域的DNS記錄。

• I had no need to sync my… well… anything… the phone has just become my only device.

  我不需要同步我的……好……任何東西……電話只是我的唯一設(shè)備。

• The media buttons — I know I’ve already mentioned this, but the fact that I was able to simply push the “Play” button on my keyboard, and the system (with zero configuration to do so) simply launched the default music player (Poweramp in my case) in the background and started playing, amazed me.
  媒體按鈕-我知道我已經(jīng)提到過(guò)這一點(diǎn)，但是事實(shí)上，我能夠簡(jiǎn)單地按下鍵盤(pán)上的“播放”按鈕，并且系統(tǒng)(使用零配置)僅啟動(dòng)了默認(rèn)音樂(lè)播放器(在我的情況下Poweramp)在后臺(tái)開(kāi)始播放，令我驚訝。
• A bar-code (QR) scanner — Yes, while docked I could still use the front and rear cameras, even for apps such as QR readers.
  條形碼(QR)掃描儀—是的，即使停靠在我的身后，我仍然可以使用前后攝像頭，即使對(duì)于QR閱讀器之類的應(yīng)用程序也是如此。
• My “computer’s” power draw, has just been reduced by about a hundred fold.
  我的“計(jì)算機(jī)”功耗僅降低了約100倍。

• Printing — one of the concerns I had was “How do you connect the android to the printer?” Apparently that isn’t even hard :)

  打印-我曾經(jīng)擔(dān)心的問(wèn)題之一是“如何將android連接到打印機(jī)？” 顯然，這并不難:)

• Multi-window — The S4, like the Note-II, is able to put selected apps “side by side”. Here I was all ready to give up on true multitasking, and android has to come and rained on my parade :)
  多窗口—與Note-II一樣，S4能夠?qū)⑦x定的應(yīng)用程序“并排放置”。 在這里，我已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好放棄真正的多任務(wù)處理，而android必須來(lái)參加我的游行了:)

• Multilingual support — There is a language switching key combo, SHIFT + SPACE. This may sound like a small thing, but trust me when I say that any multilingual user (like me) wouldn’t even consider using a system that doesn’t have support for that. The only caveat is that there is no way of changing what the combo is. While I’m sure that the last time anyone has done so in windows was… actually I’m not sure anyone has… and we all just got used to Microsoft’s default. During this transition time, IMHO, they should either mimic the well known combo or give the ability to change it.

  多語(yǔ)言支持—有一個(gè)語(yǔ)言切換鍵組合，即SHIFT + SPACE。 這聽(tīng)起來(lái)似乎是一件小事，但是當(dāng)我說(shuō)任何多語(yǔ)言用戶(例如我)甚至都不會(huì)考慮使用不支持該功能的系統(tǒng)時(shí)，請(qǐng)相信我。 唯一的警告是無(wú)法更改組合內(nèi)容。 雖然我確定上次有人在Windows中這樣做是……實(shí)際上我不確定有人在……并且我們都已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了Microsoft的默認(rèn)設(shè)置。 在過(guò)渡期間，恕我直言，他們應(yīng)該模仿眾所周知的組合或賦予更改它的能力。

• Live wallpaper — Yes, it is stupid, yes, it is esoteric and cosmetic… but by GoWAd, does it have the “wow impact” on anyone I’ve shown the system to.
  動(dòng)態(tài)壁紙—是的，它很愚蠢，是的，它深?yuàn)W而美觀……但是通過(guò)GoWAd，它對(duì)我向該系統(tǒng)演示過(guò)的任何人都具有“令人驚嘆的影響”。

The Mediocre/Unpleasant surprises

平庸/令人不快的驚喜

Because I’m so ahead of the curve on this, I did find myself fighting with the system. Even after making many tweaks to the system, there were still places where it fell short. For Example:

因?yàn)槲以谶@方面處于領(lǐng)先地位，所以我確實(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在與系統(tǒng)抗?fàn)帯?即使對(duì)系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行了許多調(diào)整之后，仍然仍有一些地方無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)。 例如：

• On-screen keyboard should appear…? — I’ve found that there is an ambiguity surrounding when the on-screen keyboard should appear. Sometimes the on-screen keyboard will pop-up and will regain focus again and again, despite being discarded. If you need one, a perfectly good solution is to use Null Keyboard.

  屏幕鍵盤(pán)應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)...？ —我發(fā)現(xiàn)應(yīng)該在屏幕上顯示鍵盤(pán)的時(shí)候周?chē)＠鈨煽伞?有時(shí)屏幕鍵盤(pán)會(huì)彈出，并且會(huì)被一次又一次地重新獲得焦點(diǎn)，盡管它們被丟棄了。 如果您需要一個(gè)，一個(gè)很好的解決方案是使用Null Keyboard 。

• Apps tend to lose state — Because the applications and the system expect to be in very hostile, memory-congested hardware, they will automatically close anything that isn’t right in front of the user’s eyes, and sometime even that will be closed as well. Even though this is not as true for the S4 with its 2G of RAM, the Android system still treats it as it would a low end device. As an example, I still found that switching away from a browser application and back (even for something as simple as getting a call) will more often than not cause it to reload the page. Because it has lost its state, any draft information you had in the page will be lost. And that is only one example of many.

  應(yīng)用程序容易丟失狀態(tài)-因?yàn)閼?yīng)用程序和系統(tǒng)期望處于非常敵對(duì)的，內(nèi)存擁擠的硬件中，所以它們會(huì)自動(dòng)關(guān)閉用戶眼前的任何東西，有時(shí)甚至也會(huì)關(guān)閉。 即使對(duì)于具有2G RAM的S4而言并非如此，Android系統(tǒng)仍然將其視為低端設(shè)備。 作為示例，我仍然發(fā)現(xiàn)從瀏覽器應(yīng)用程序切換回并返回(即使是像接到電話這樣簡(jiǎn)單的事情)通常會(huì)導(dǎo)致重新加載頁(yè)面。 由于狀態(tài)丟失，因此您在頁(yè)面中擁有的任何草稿信息都將丟失。 那只是許多例子中的一個(gè)。

  Update: There is now an app (CallHeads)?that will make the receiving a call scenario less of a context switcher.

  更新：現(xiàn)在有一個(gè)應(yīng)用程序( CallHeads )，它將使接收呼叫方案的上下文切換器更少。

• Samsung keyboard forced upon you — Even if you want to use a 3rd party keyboard, you’ll find that every time you Dock your phone, the system switches you back to the stock one.
  三星鍵盤(pán)強(qiáng)迫您使用-即使您想使用第三方鍵盤(pán)，您也會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，每次將手機(jī)停靠在電話上時(shí)，系統(tǒng)都會(huì)將您切換回原配鍵盤(pán)。
• No external screen power saving — Maybe I’m still “old school”, but I still want to be able to set an amount of time for the screen to automatically turn off and conserve power. As the external screen is now the main screen, despite it being a very power efficient LCD, it actually draws about 10 times more than the phone does (that is how little the phone draw is).
  無(wú)法節(jié)省外部屏幕的電源—也許我還是“老派”，但我仍然希望能夠設(shè)置屏幕自動(dòng)關(guān)閉并節(jié)省電源的時(shí)間。 由于外部屏幕現(xiàn)在是主屏幕，盡管它是一個(gè)非常節(jié)能的LCD，但它實(shí)際繪制的次數(shù)大約是電話的10倍(這就是電話繪制的次數(shù))。

• Landscape mode not supported across the board — While most apps and launchers do support landscape mode, every once in a while a non-compatible app will flip the screen to portrait and make most of your screen real estate useless. In fact, the S4’s Touchwiz doesn’t support landscape while the S3’s does. Baffled by this, I simply switched to Nova.

  不全面支持橫向模式-盡管大多數(shù)應(yīng)用程序和啟動(dòng)器都支持橫向模式，但有時(shí)不兼容的應(yīng)用程序偶爾會(huì)將屏幕翻轉(zhuǎn)為縱向模式，從而使屏幕上的大部分空間都變得無(wú)用。 實(shí)際上，S4的Touchwiz不支持橫向，而S3的則支持橫向。 對(duì)此感到困惑，我只是切換到了Nova 。

• Objects may appear closer than they are ?— While the galaxy S4 is a 1080p resolution type of a device, the pixel-per-inch ratio is abysmal compared to the Desktop counterpart. You may find that every icon seems to appear “l(fā)arger than life”, at least, at first. IMHO one can simply get used to it rather quickly, and that feeling doesn’t just go away, but is replaced with “why is everything so small on the desktop?”
  對(duì)象看起來(lái)可能比它們看起來(lái)更近—盡管銀河S4是設(shè)備的1080p分辨率類型，但與臺(tái)式機(jī)相比，其每英寸像素的比率真是太糟糕了。 您可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，至少在一開(kāi)始，每個(gè)圖標(biāo)看上去似乎都比“更大”。 恕我直言，一個(gè)人可以很快地習(xí)慣它，這種感覺(jué)并不僅會(huì)消失，而是被“為什么桌面上的所有東西都那么小？”所取代。

The Ugly surprises

丑陋的驚喜

While it does seem like the PC industry really should be worried that Smartphones will eventually take over, Smartphones right now lack roughly 20 years of desktop development under their belt and boy, do you really feel that you are getting only a fractional subset of your desktop experience…

雖然似乎PC行業(yè)真的應(yīng)該擔(dān)心智能手機(jī)最終會(huì)被接管，但是智能手機(jī)目前缺乏大約20年的臺(tái)式機(jī)開(kāi)發(fā)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，您是否真的覺(jué)得只得到了一部分臺(tái)式機(jī)經(jīng)驗(yàn)…

The fact of the matter is that if every time that I ask my friendly neighborhood Android programmer if he can create an app to do X or Y, the answer starts with: Assuming you’re ROOTed… That means that something fundamental is missing in the system. ?Moreover, even if the app doesn’t require ROOTing, its very creation may be a necessity that springs from the lack of a good Framework. In an act to say “Hi, look at how great Frameworks would be. We have just invented the wheel for you. You should be grateful…”, Google has just announced Volley. This means that up until now, at the very least, the 4 separate apps they give as an example had to spend the time/money for R&D and QA to do the exact same thing… Case in point, on the desktop, for multilingual users, there is an app (called LangOver) that would correct your input if you’ve forgotten to switch back from your secondary language. Currently, the only way to achieve the same goal on Android is to write a brand new keyboard app. This is doubly stupid, because A) there shouldn’t be a need to rewrite this functionality which has been done to death for a single function and B) the LangOver creator not only didn’t have to create an entire keyboard, but he didn’t even have to write too much code… he took advantage of already well established and vetted .NET Frameworks, that do most of the heavy lifting. even if you leave these extremely geeky thoughts behind, you will still be hit in the face with:

問(wèn)題的事實(shí)是，如果我每次問(wèn)我友好的鄰域Android程序員是否可以創(chuàng)建一個(gè)可以執(zhí)行X或Y的應(yīng)用程序，答案都始于：假設(shè)您是ROOTED ...這意味著系統(tǒng)。 而且，即使該應(yīng)用程序不需要根目錄，也可能由于缺乏良好的框架而需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建它。 打個(gè)招呼，“嗨，看看框架有多棒。 我們剛剛為您發(fā)明了輪子。 您應(yīng)該感激不盡……”，Google剛剛宣布了Volley 。 這意味著到目前為止，至少他們作為示例提供的4個(gè)單獨(dú)的應(yīng)用程序必須花費(fèi)時(shí)間/金錢(qián)進(jìn)行研發(fā)和質(zhì)量檢查，才能做完全相同的事情……例如，在臺(tái)式機(jī)上，適用于多語(yǔ)言用戶，有一個(gè)應(yīng)用程序(稱為L(zhǎng)angOver )可以在您忘記從輔助語(yǔ)言切換回來(lái)的情況下更正您的輸入。 當(dāng)前，在Android上實(shí)現(xiàn)相同目標(biāo)的唯一方法是編寫(xiě)一個(gè)全新的鍵盤(pán)應(yīng)用程序。 這是雙重愚蠢，因?yàn)锳)不需要重寫(xiě)此功能，因?yàn)閱蝹€(gè)功能已經(jīng)死了，而且B)LangOver創(chuàng)造者不僅不必創(chuàng)建整個(gè)鍵盤(pán)，而且他沒(méi)有甚至不必編寫(xiě)太多代碼……他利用了已經(jīng)建立并經(jīng)過(guò)審查的.NET Framework，這些功能可以完成大部分繁重的工作。 即使您將這些極度怪異的想法拋在腦后，您仍然會(huì)被以下方面所困擾：

• Mobile browsers not up to par with desktop versions – This really came as a shocker, but everything I loved about the Desktop version of Chrome simply isn’t there on the Android version. Not only is it a memory hog that causes other applications to crash, but it doesn’t even show the pages correctly. Unlike its desktop counterpart, this version also lacks third party support, so things like Lastpass and Adblock are non-existent. I completely switched to Dolphin as my main browser, but even there the web experience is lacking.

  移動(dòng)瀏覽器無(wú)法與桌面版本媲美–確實(shí)令人震驚，但是我對(duì)Chrome的桌面版本所鐘愛(ài)的一切都沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)在Android版本上。 這不僅會(huì)導(dǎo)致其他應(yīng)用程序崩潰，而且甚至無(wú)法正確顯示頁(yè)面。 與臺(tái)式機(jī)不同，此版本還缺少第三方支持，因此不存在Lastpass和Adblock之類的東西。 我完全將Dolphin轉(zhuǎn)換為我的主要瀏覽器，但是即使如此，也缺乏網(wǎng)絡(luò)體驗(yàn)。

• Keyboard aficionados beware – Because an external keyboard is such a foreign concept to Smartphones, you will find that even the simplest of shortcuts you’re used to either no longer work at all, do not work in a consistent manner across the system, or work just enough to make you go crazy (sometimes the simple Copy & Paste actions stop working). Case in point, right now, no application even shows sign of wanting to bind to a global hot-key. This is a shame, considering they are at least partially supported. I know because when I’ve hit the CTRL + ALT + DEL combo (got confused when I was doing a windows login within an RDP app), the phone rebooted in my face…

  鍵盤(pán)迷們要當(dāng)心–因?yàn)橥獠挎I盤(pán)對(duì)于Smartphones來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)陌生的概念，所以您會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，即使是最簡(jiǎn)單的快捷方式，您要么根本無(wú)法使用，要么無(wú)法在整個(gè)系統(tǒng)中以一致的方式工作，或者足以使您發(fā)瘋(有時(shí)簡(jiǎn)單的“復(fù)制和粘貼”操作會(huì)停止工作)。 就目前的情況而言，沒(méi)有應(yīng)用程序甚至顯示出希望綁定到全局熱鍵的跡象。 考慮到他們至少得到了部分支持，這真是遺憾。 我知道，因?yàn)楫?dāng)我按下CTRL + ALT + DEL組合鍵(當(dāng)我在RDP應(yīng)用程序中進(jìn)行Windows登錄時(shí)感到困惑)時(shí)，手機(jī)重新啟動(dòng)了……

• Screen options are extremely limited – If you want to hook up more then one display, just don’t make me laugh…If you have overscan (like I have on my LG-TV) or want to say “Hey, I’ve connected a high-end display that can do a better resolution/DPI”, there simply is NO way to change any of that.

  屏幕選項(xiàng)非常有限–如果您想連接一個(gè)以上的顯示器，請(qǐng)不要讓我發(fā)笑...如果您掃描過(guò)度(例如我在LG-TV上的掃描)或想說(shuō)“嘿，我已經(jīng)連接了可以提供更好的分辨率/ DPI的高端顯示器”，根本沒(méi)有辦法改變?nèi)魏我粋€(gè)。

And the above is by no means an exhaustive list.

以上絕不是詳盡的清單。

Final thoughts

最后的想法

This setup is on the precipice of becoming an accepted mainstream norm. In fact, it is so close that anyone I’ve shown it to almost immediately reacts with the question of “why isn’t it wireless“?” Not “where is Word?” or “I couldn’t live without the properties right click”… And you know what? They are right, but its still very early for that. I’m sure that the next generation of docks will take advantage of the already existing technologies of wireless charging and wireless display to achieve this exact thing.

這種設(shè)置是在成為公認(rèn)的主流規(guī)范的前提下。 實(shí)際上，它是如此接近，以至于我向它展示的任何人幾乎都立即對(duì)“為什么不無(wú)線”這個(gè)問(wèn)題做出React。 不是“ Word在哪里？” 或“如果沒(méi)有右鍵單擊這些屬性，我將無(wú)法生存”……您知道嗎？ 他們是對(duì)的，但是還很早。 我確信下一代塢站將利用無(wú)線充電和無(wú)線顯示的現(xiàn)有技術(shù)來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)。

So yes, it is early and there is some gap between PCs and Smartphones, but that gap is closing with every new generation of Smartphones that comes out (I just wonder how many times will we change our minds on how the same problem should be solved). With the rise of the almighty cloud, and with the realization of service providers that users want the same level of access and features on their Smartphones as they do on the PC, and the fact that application developers actually target the mobile users first, the days of the PC are numbered at best.

所以是的，現(xiàn)在還很早，PC和智能手機(jī)之間還是存在一些差距，但是隨著新一代智能手機(jī)的問(wèn)世，這種差距正在縮小(我只是想知道我們將改變主意多少次才能解決同一問(wèn)題) )。 隨著全能云的興起以及服務(wù)提供商的實(shí)現(xiàn)，用戶希望在智能手機(jī)上獲得與在PC上相同的訪問(wèn)權(quán)限和功能，并且應(yīng)用程序開(kāi)發(fā)人員實(shí)際上首先針對(duì)移動(dòng)用戶。 PC的編號(hào)最多。

Final nail in the coffin? This entire article, including the videos, has been created/written on the Galaxy S4+Dock+external-keyboard setup… (Boom! mic dropped… Hotfortech leaving the scene).

最后釘在棺材里？ 包括視頻在內(nèi)的整篇文章都是在Galaxy S4 + Dock +外部鍵盤(pán)設(shè)置上創(chuàng)建/編寫(xiě)的……(轟！麥克風(fēng)掉下了……Hotfortech離開(kāi)了現(xiàn)場(chǎng))。
