Chapter 97: Enthusiastic Reaction (2)
"Yes, an information revolution! The world is producing news all the time, the crux of the problem is that in many cases the dissemination of news has been greatly restricted, television needs to produce programs, newspapers need to be typeset and printed, once we thought that the Internet portal will be the most important place in the information revolution, but yesterday, An Yuxi let us see that the portal also has defects, and it also has to send reporters to interview. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the same to be written and published. If we calculate the process, it will take at least 40 minutes for even the most positive and optimistic attitude...... But Ahn Woo Xi's demonstration is 10 minutes! Only 10 minutes! or less!"
"Let's imagine if everybody had an iPhone, what would be the travel time, and if Skymap was not a map app, but a news app, what would be the travel time? God...... What I saw was a picture covering the whole earth. There is no time and space barrier, and there is no barrier to communication!"
"This revolution is not only about the dissemination of information, but also about a more terrifying and exciting idea: An Yuxi said that Skymap will add more functional facilities to the map, parking lots, gas stations, hotels, shopping malls...... Everything that can appear on the map, not only does it make it easier for us to find it, but if Skymap can cooperate with merchants to digitally bind gas cards and shopping vouchers to Skymap users' IDs and mobile phones, or credit cards, then ......"
"In that short two-minute video, he gave us a window into a new future, a new world!"
"It's_so_beautIFul!" An Yuxi sighed at the end of his speech, that may be the unbelievably beautiful future he painted for Skymap!"
Macworld has come to a successful end, but the waves it has set off have just begun.
If Steve Jobs was demonstrating the power of the graphics system to the Iphone, then the Skymap demonstrated by An Yuxi added an unparalleled layer of persuasiveness to this power.
He used several Skymap functions to clearly show people why the iPhone is a revolutionary product, and also assisted the core concept advocated by Steve Jobs that the iPhone will bring users a convenient life.
With enthusiastic statements, the operation of Jobs's finger to unlock the iPhone was rated as the most charming action to wake up the phone in the past decade. The prank phone call in which An Yuxi opened the Skymap map interface and ordered 4,000 cups of coffee from Starbucks was rated as the most historic phone call in the past decade.
It's just such a short video, even if you can't understand the words in it, but everyone is fascinated.
To paraphrase An Yuxi's words, this is a beautiful world, and the future of such a world seems to be within reach!
With these media coverages, Macworld2007 quickly became the center of public attention.
Many portals put photos of Steve Jobs and Ann Yuxi wearing head-mounted microphones and holding iPhones in the most prominent places on their web pages.
"Very successful speeches, Steve Jobs and Ann Yuxi," MSN; "Apple and Facebook have teamed up to read the prologue of the revolution to the people, so let's wait and see." "Yahoo;" is more ingenious than anyone could imagine, whether it's an Iphone or a Skymap. ”AOL。
Outside the media, however, the conference was hugely controversial.
Apple fans were naturally jubilant, and with some Facebook supporters, the internet was full of talk about the event.
"The moment Jobs scrolled the Itunes page with his finger, everyone was obsessed with the captivating beauty of the combination of technology and art. And the moment An Yuxi demonstrated the Skymap function, it was everyone's madness! I was surrounded by applause and amazement, I couldn't believe that the world could still be carried around me like this. One of the attendees of the launch wrote in his blog.
"When Jobs swiped to unlock it, I was completely stunned in front of the TV, and even subconsciously wanted to reach into the TV and snatch that cute little gadget. What's even more incredible is Ann Yuxi, Jesus Christ! I took that picture and uploaded it, I never thought it would appear in that way...... Oh God, my God......"
The Facebook tweet excitedly said that to prove it, he provided a few more photos of the road downstairs from his bedroom, adding nearly 10,000 "thumbs" to his Facebook page in one day.
"It's been a great show, a demo, a presentation, but I'm really looking forward to it being our future, I can't wait to try it out, use it to search for what's around me, the features I see on the video are so fascinating." ”
"I always thought Skymap was a toy, but it just wasn't used in the right place for a while. I laughed at the full-screen design of the iPhone when I first saw it in the video of the press conference, but it turned out that it was me who was laughing. ”
Of course, the current smartphone market is dominated by BlackBerry and Nokia, BlackBerry and Symbian have many user fans, and Jobs ridiculed BlackBerry, Motorola, and Nokia at the press conference, causing strong dissatisfaction among those users.
"Ipod plus a baseband chip and you're going to pass it off as a phone? and take the elimination of the keyboard as a revolutionary design, come on!" With only one screen, this kind of phone looks disgusting. ”;“ I didn't have any interest in it, and I bought a big screen for $499, maybe it would break when I touched it. ”
The media also said the opposite, "It is undeniable that the graphical interface of the iPhone is very beautiful, and the sliding unlock is beautiful, but my concern is exactly the same, the iPhone equipped with the Ios system only supports Apple's own software, and in this regard, it is not competitive at all compared with Symbian and Blackberry." ”
Also in the science and technology edition of the headline reported Macworld2007, in the article expressed his opinion: "An Yuxi painstakingly painted a good prospect for it, but with the above shortcomings, I don't see it can be popular, or even set off a decisive factor in the revolution!"
also holds the same view, "Compared with Nokia's most expensive models in the same price range, the configuration of the iPhone is too cheap, even if the speech makes people reverie and makes people feel excited for a moment, but when it is launched, more people will still be discouraged in the face of its backward configuration and high price! Maybe the revolutionary slogan shouted by Jobs and An Yuxi was raised a little early, unless, Apple is willing to reduce the price, such as 200 US dollars!"
"Failed products, Apple has abandoned its selling point of being at the forefront of fashion, no matter how powerful the function is, it can't cover up its fatal flaws!"
But for or against, no one would say that the launch was a failure when it comes to Macworld 2007.
"It used to have Jobs, and now, it has an An Yuxi!" published a photo of An Yuxi raising his hands slightly and giving a speech to the audience.
