Chapter 369: iTouch
The cost of provoking the Hilton sisters is not small.
Ye Dongqing was in the corridor of Apple's R&D laboratory at this time, and suddenly received a call from a public relations officer in the secretary's office, saying that Paris Hilton had released a public message, which was a photo of him when he was drinking with Ye Dongqing, and it looked like it was very intimate, and it was all pasted on him.
It is estimated that it will attract a lot of attention, and people always like this kind of love history gossip between rich girls and rich people.
After learning the news, he rolled his eyes, and he didn't know if he was mocking the woman who wanted to be famous like crazy, or laughing at himself, because he couldn't control his lower body.
It's like "using" each other and getting what each other wants, anyway, Ye Dongqing didn't prepare to have too much contact with the troublesome sisters from the beginning, and told him not to respond too much, just said that they had a drink together after they happened to meet.
As for Paris Hilton, she is a scheming woman with high emotional intelligence, if she didn't plan to have a bad relationship with Ye Dongqing, it is estimated that she would not use this matter to overhype, and it is acceptable to both parties to stop at a shallow taste.
There have been so many lace news, and he has long become a playboy in the eyes of others, Ye Dongqing was not affected in any way, and walked directly into the testing department codenamed Three Zeros.
Unexpectedly, an old acquaintance was also there, and he greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Jobs, I haven't seen you for a long time, is your body OK?"
"It's almost recovered, the doctor told me it's getting better, when did you come to Silicon Valley?"
Steve Jobs went from life and death, the operation went very smoothly, and the recovery after the operation was good, spending more than two million dollars before and after, and donating one million dollars to a medical institution, but as long as he recovered, it was worth it, and it was just a small amount of money for him.
"I just arrived today, and I heard Tim say last time that an epoch-making new product has been developed with the first engineering prototype, and I didn't want to see it with my own eyes. β
"Right here, just look at it, the screen and the wireless network receiving parts are not up to our satisfaction, but it's already a product that can be put on the market, at least much better than the small screen of the current iPod, which can be used to watch an entire movie, and can also hold thousands of e-books. β
Jobs picked up a small black box and handed it to Ye Dongqing, with a little joy in his tone.
Over that time, thousands of people have participated, spending more than a billion dollars to make the iPod more advanced while tinkering with a new generation of MacBook notebooks and iMac all-in-one computers.
Now this iTouch is different, and it can be said that it is a cross-generational product.
Equipped with a specially developed operating system like a computer, and can be loaded with programs, through the wireless network to use Facebook and other software, through such a small thing, directly connected to the Internet, as long as there is a wireless network nearby, it can be used, at the end of 2004, it is the latest high-tech!
The appearance is a bit ugly, the engineering prototype is acceptable.
Ye Dongqing almost cried when he tried to use it skillfully, swiping his fingers left and right on the screen, unlocking and clicking to enter the playback program, this experience has not been tried for more than two years.
It wasn't unusual to have it, but the sudden disappearance of this mobile smart product from life took him months to come to terms with reality.
The screen was playing Apple's promotional advertisement, and many R&D personnel gathered around, Jobs asked him: "I want to know how you feel about using it, a new way of operation, using your fingers on the screen, this is your original proposal, will it feel uncomfortable?"
I've been trying it for a few days and now I'm getting used to it, I see that you use it very smoothly, we're trying to do user testing and improve it if there's something inconvenient. β
"It's good, if it's like this all the time, there are no stutters or freezes, then you can continue to improve for a while, and then start selling to the outside world. I think you should think about mass production, and you should also think about giving more bonuses to these R&D personnel next month, this product will be the beginning of a new era...... Legendary!"
Ye Dongqing added after speaking: "Of course, there are still many shortcomings, such as it can't talk anytime and anywhere like a mobile phone, nor can it take pictures like Nokia's mobile phone, but it's enough to satisfy me, and when it goes public, customers will go crazy about it!"
The surrounding R&D personnel clapped and laughed, and shouted "Bonus!bonus!" under the leadership of whom, and Jobs's haggard face also blossomed, he launched the iPod, and also experienced the iPod's popularity from the trough to the present, since the initial success of the Macbook notebook and the iMac all-in-one, his confidence has slowly returned, even more confident than in the early eighties.
It's rare to be so happy, with a wave of his hand, he motioned for the employees to stop, and then wiped his glasses and said: "Since the major shareholders don't mind, maybe we can give those who have contributed to the project an extra one to three months' salary as a reward, and arrange a salary increase next year." β
It's been squeezed too hard for a while, and Jobs doesn't mind following Ye Dongqing's intentions, making the employees happy, and then ...... Continue to squeeze them even harder until a perfect product is developed.
Although the product named itouch is not bad, it is still far from perfect, more like an advanced MP4 player, with some computer functions, but also more practical, and it is a transitional semi-finished product between mobile smartphones.
The real MP4 player was born in 2002.
That year, the French manufacturer Archos released the world's first hard disk MP4 player.
It was a milestone that not only did it carry an in-house video decoding device, but also a color high-resolution screen that seemed large at the time, and it also used the hard disk as the storage medium for the machine, greatly expanding the potential of the MP4, and the iTouch combined all of that and did a better job.
Ye Dongqing didn't see the app-store software store on the program, and after asking, he learned that all the development work had not been completed, and it was estimated that it would take another month or two to load it.
Previously let a Facebook development team cooperate,Facebook mobile program is available,The machine is connected to the mobile network,After opening this program, I registered a new account,And successfully found my own large number,After adding followers, you can also see the news you posted before,I also successfully saw the recent release of Paris Hiltonγ
In any case, it is indeed much more advanced than the previous product, and there are many things that need to be improved, but in the context of this era, it is quite good......
