How Android Drives Baidu

Baidu, Inc. BIDU China is highly driven by its high tech real time and urban economic standards. The company is poised to compete with integrating disruptive trends in mobile, offering new services through big data, hybrid models and developing new monetization models. "Now through 2020, these technologies will drive around 90% of all the growth in the IT market," said Frank Gens, senior vice president and chief analyst at IDC. "Companies that are not putting 80% or more of competitive energy into this new market will be trapped in the legacy portion of the market, growing even slower than global GDP."

Baidu’s Mobile Guard app for Android allows Chinese users access to a previously acquired product which was developed by a different Chinese startup. The app was called Android Optimizer. Baidu’s latest Android app was launched last month and features v4.0 software. The new Baidu Mobile Guard is expected to be available in multiple languages for Android app users.
