10大遺產(chǎn)：喬布斯改變世界
|
iPhone手機 ????目前，雖然安卓系列（Android）可能占據(jù)了更多的市場份額，但垂死掙扎的手機市場之所以能夠起死回生絕對應該歸功于喬布斯。2007年，蘋果公司推出iPhone手機，這款手機設計簡潔，配有靈敏的大觸摸屏和穩(wěn)定的操作系統(tǒng)，率先掀起了智能手機領域的革命，也使得奔邁（Palm）和黑莓制造商RIM的苦心經(jīng)營付諸東流。 ????據(jù)內(nèi)部人士透露，公司在iPhone手機最初的開發(fā)過程投入高達1.5億美元。喬布斯參與了初期開發(fā)的每一個步驟。并且，他還努力與辛格勒公司（Cingular，目前為AT&T公司）高層斡旋，為設備的開發(fā)爭取到了前所未有的控制權。因此，iPhone手機上并沒有打上AT&T（或威瑞森公司（Verizon））的標識。而且，也是由于喬布斯的堅持，用戶能夠使用可視語音信箱（Visual Voicemail）功能，這項功能拋棄了標準語音信箱系統(tǒng)，而是開發(fā)出非線性“滑動收聽”界面，目前這一功能已經(jīng)在其他智能手機中得到普及。 |
The iPhone ????Though Android may occupy a larger cut of the market these days, Jobs must be credited with turning the moribund cell phone market upside down. With the iPhone in 2007, Apple introduced a device that pioneered the smartphone revolution thanks to a minimalist design, large responsive touchscreen and solid operating system that blew Palm and RIM's efforts away. ????Jobs was involved in every step of the initial development process, which according to one insider cost the company $150 million. He also pushed for unprecedented control over the device's construction with Cingular (now AT&T) executives -- which is why the iPhone doesn't carry an AT&T (or Verizon) logo on it. Users also have Jobs to thank for Visual Voicemail, which chucked the standard voicemail system for a non-linear "push to listen" interface, a feature other smartphones now have too. |
