But so far WeChat or its parent company Tencent hasn’t announced anything else like Cloud services for smart hardware. JD+JD, the Chinese online retail giant, launched a sub-site dedicated to smart hardware products way earlier than Amazon. Aliyun’s ultimate goal must be to have as many smart hardware products as possible using its Cloud services. Baidu has also been making self-branded smart hardware products, including the newly launched BaiduEye and the smart Chopsticks. Like the JD app, LifeKit hopes to be the one app that can interact with various smart hardware products.
