10大遺產(chǎn)：喬布斯改變世界
|
后PC時代 ????喬布斯不僅憑借蘋果二代顛覆了個人計算機領(lǐng)域,，在推出iPad（由平滑的玻璃板和鋁制成）之后，他開啟了所謂的“后PC”時代,。2010年之前,，平板電腦的理念雖得到認可，但該款產(chǎn)品一直因糟糕的執(zhí)行而難有突破,。微軟（Microsoft）與其合作伙伴曾經(jīng)推出平板-筆記本電腦混合產(chǎn)品,，但這次嘗試卻并未得到消費者的認可。蘋果公司本身也經(jīng)歷過多次失敗,。早在上世紀90年代初,，蘋果公司曾推出名為牛頓（Newton）的PDA，最終卻以失敗收場,。 ????現(xiàn)在看來,，有了iPad，喬布斯與蘋果公司似乎讓一切又重回正軌：令人艷羨的便攜外形,、與iPhone類似的易操作系統(tǒng),，以及合理的價格。2010年,，iPad銷量達到1,470萬臺,，僅上個季度,，這款平板電腦的銷量便激增183%，證明人們更加渴望尺寸合適,、易于隨身攜帶的移動設(shè)備。 |
The Post-PC Era ????Just as Jobs helped revolutionize personal computing with the Apple II, he also ushered what many now dub the "post-PC" era thanks to a slick slab of glass and aluminum called the iPad. Until last year, tablet computing was a nice idea stalled by bad execution. Users shunned early attempts by Microsoft and its partners to make tablet-laptop hybrids. Even Apple itself tried and failed to innovate with the Newton back in the early-1990s.????With the iPad, Jobs and Apple seemed to get everything right: an enviable portable form factor, an accessible operating system similar to the iPhone's and a reasonable price. The iPad sold nearly 14.7 million units in 2010, and just last quarter, sales exploded 183%, proving that many people want a sizable yet portable device they can take anywhere. |
