Chapter 89: A Time to Witness History (2)
"Hey, three products to release?"
Jobs's voice fell, and after a short period of stunned, in the sparse applause, Zuckerberg leaned over to An Yuxi: "Release three pieces at a time?"
His doubts were also those stunned at the scene, as well as the doubts of everyone in front of the TV and computer, An Yuxi smiled, but did not answer him, just raised a finger on his lips: "Shhh, listen carefully!"
"Shet! I hate suspense the most. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
But this is the art of speech, and only suspense can arouse people's interest, and Steve Jobs knew it.
The sparse applause did not affect him in the slightest, those figures who were frowning or dazed, or whispering to each other, were all not in his eyes, in front of the TV wall, he seriously bent a finger: "The first one, a touchable widescreen IPod!"
…… Does it seem real? Three at a time?......
Looking at Jobs, who had already entered the introduction session on the stage, Zuckerberg followed the other people who were also at a loss a little dazed, subconsciously clapping his hands, and in the distance were the unconditional cheers of avid Apple fans.
Jobs didn't care about all this at all, and he flexed his second finger: "The second piece, a revolutionary mobile phone." ”
It was only at this moment that people broke free from their doubts and confusion, and it was a long time ago that the new product had a mobile phone, so the applause rang out enthusiastically, and Zuckerberg even heard a business executive whistle behind him.
The suspense has been arranged for a long time, and everyone's hearts are slightly looking forward to it at this moment, and they can't wait to see how revolutionary the mobile phone in Jobs's mouth is!
On stage, Jobs was indifferent, "the third piece, a breakthrough Internet communication tool." ”
He raised his hands slightly, as if he was conducting music, his gestures rose and fell slightly, and he said slowly: "So, three products." A touchable widescreen iPod, a revolutionary mobile phone, a groundbreaking Internet communication tool......"
Everyone fell silent, waiting for his explanation.
But instead of starting, he repeated: "An iPod, a mobile phone, an Internet communication tool." ”
People looked at him in bewilderment, some thought he was stuck, and laughed, but many more didn't understand what he meant, and those who knew sat quietly in their seats and waited.
Jobs was indifferent to people's cold reactions, and simply continued to repeat slowly: "An IPod ......"
Hearing this, someone finally reacted, and they opened their mouths in amusement, his so-called three products, from beginning to end, there is only one, but this product integrates the three major functions of IPod, mobile phone and Internet.
They clapped their hands vigorously, and in the midst of the noise, Jobs, who noticed that people had finally reacted, smiled: "Do you know what I'm talking about?"
He was greeted with a tidal wave of applause.
"It's not three separate devices!" the sound bombarded the air, and in the bright lights, a huge telephone icon appeared on the video wall behind him, and looking around, the old man excitedly read out the manifesto he had been waiting for for nearly three years: "It's a piece of equipment, we call it—"
“――Iphone!”
The entire empty building seemed to shake at this moment, and the sound spread out, through television, computers, and invisible radio waves covering the entire earth, resounding in this world!
Far away in the office of Tianheng Technology in Los Angeles, the department executive frowned and looked at the others.
A mobile phone with an integrated IPod, a mobile phone, and internet capabilities?
"Is this the concept of a smartphone?" Andy Rubin said as he stared at the TV for a moment, speechless, and the big boss nodded.
On television, Steve Jobs continues his proclamation: "Today's ......" gives a long shot, with countless applause in the darkness, and the old man speaks of his ambition in the direction of everyone's applause: "Today, Apple will reinvent the mobile phone...... This is it!"
The excited crowd laughed as a second-generation iPod and an old-fashioned telephone dial wheel, similar to a touch wheel, appeared on the huge video wall.
"Hahahaha-"
Zuckerberg, who loves to play the most, applauded: "Man, I love this guy to death!"
Sitting beside him, listening to the deafening applause and laughter around him, An Yuxi shook his head helplessly.
On the stage, Jobs, who successfully stirred everyone's minds, calmly spread his hands amid people's whistles and laughter: "If this is the case, we can dismiss the meeting now." ”
In another burst of laughter, the press conference finally got to the point, no longer caring about the audience, Jobs paced back and forth two steps, and said: "Before we talk about it, let's talk about something called 'smartphones' on the market." ”
In front of the TV, Anding Bang and Andy Rubin, who were also laughed at by Jobs's bad taste just now, immediately gasped a few times when they heard the words, restrained their emotions, and listened carefully.
Half a month ago, the big boss once told him about the defects of the current "smart phone", and he didn't care about it at first, because all smart phones are like that, and he can't imagine how to operate the mobile phone if there is no keyboard?
The big boss said that today's smartphones are like computers 20 years ago, but if you follow his description, the keyboard is regarded as the most failed part of today's smartphones, and you are ready to eliminate it, wouldn't it be equivalent to removing the keyboard from the computer?
Although this statement was well received by the guys at Devil's Valley, they thought it was pretty cool!
Computers without keyboards...... That's worse than a computer without a mouse!
However, in the past half a month, he has thought a lot. It is undeniable that some of the big bosses are not wrong, and today's smartphones do have a lot of flaws. The screen is too small, half of the area of a mobile phone must be taken up by the keyboard, and the keyboard has a single function, and if you want to use a certain software, the single function makes the operation quite complicated, and it is impossible to be as flexible as a mouse.
He's been imagining, and finally, he's set his sights on the touchscreen.
Touch screen in the field of high-end mobile phones, is no longer a new thing, just change the original screen into a cheap resistive screen, in fact, he has used Sony Ericsson and Nokia launched mobile phones with touch screen, touch screen is actually not easy to use.
The big boss has sold a pass, and for him, it's a difficult puzzle to solve, and now, the answer to the puzzle will soon be revealed!
Andy Rubin glanced at the big boss, then stared at the TV, and for some time afterward, the "arrogant" Jobs criticized the most popular smartphones of Motorola, Nokia and BlackBerry as useless as he used to evaluate the products of his competitors.
