Articles on succession, UGlee Apple4.us readers continue to talk about Apple's new Tablet PC for the views.
market has a superb inertia. 1995 MGM film The Pirates heavily Toupai a The failure of the membrane market, Hollywood in the afterward 8 years, do not defiance touch this in literature, screenplay and many other places have been shown to have long-lasting vitality of the pilfer venture theme. Until 2003, through the
1998 年 Newton, ended sadly because the calculator industry to send the same calamity. Booksize computing devices from about disappeared more than ten years. People pretend to forget the printing industry during the past thousand years as we define the key factors and method, preferring a day carrying a mammoth laptop bag approximately, trouble. Of course, this time is still a lot of profitable tries, such as Microsoft TabletPC, Palm released in 2007, but no actual marketing of the Foleo, and the Asus EeePC open with the new digit in the notebook market has accounted for 20% share of the Internet this category. But they are in the best of the Internet, can only be said to be finite success - and this is the market share rather than profit viewpoint.
why they can not activity King of like a absence of? Let us not from the user perspective and technical perspective, we begin with a market perspective, not a unattached device like the film TabletPC pen operation only Windows devices, and pen, sorry, also many out, and it can only be reminiscent of the glass with Newton. Foleo in the eyes of ordinary users is a degradation of the laptop, it uses the laptop fashion ingredient than 2 people can not inhibit the urge to take, and that it as the concept of mobile phone accessories, crazy! While the Internet, with the exception of a mini,
Christian Louboutin High Heels, lack of new to Chen, if it is not selling in the $ 200, its days will not be better off than the TabletPC. So no matter what Apple's Tablet PC kind of opinion debut, at least in the market, which accounts for a huge head begin. iPhone access to incredible success, it's built-in file communications and multi-touch are quite ample in, they can deed as a If Apple put the two in any one of the spin-off from the tablet PC product, and I consider the designers of the brain will be door clip before, lack of market awareness.
in the eyes of a Geek, a rough semblance upon, this may be considered ridiculousness. But my view is that looking at any variety of product, you have to look at three angles: a market perspective, the user perspective, and technology perspectives.
Whether your fancy extra novel, extra perfected technology, Vision and more far, more faultless experience, you can not market head-on, IT magazine, one daily listing of the catalogue, by least 80% of the productions are technically faultless, yet quite die in here. Market awareness that the white common sense,
Christian Louboutin Slingbacks, that is,
Christian Louboutin Boots, the concept of mind of mediocre people, you must alteration this, it is not impossible, throwing money apt do sale right. For example, we could still remember the words: Guess.
Well, we are now for the second point, the user experience. In order to shirk nagging in the subjective good or wrong, I throw here, a term first child: Human Interface, which refers to our hands and eyes, which we use the tool interface. In this respect, unfortunately, from a historical point of view, an integral element of the Tablet PC to be worse than the evaluation of notebook computers. Is placed on the use of laptop computers, two hands are free, prepared to be used for very fast input (or touch) and operating, of course, this is basically it can not hand-held operation, and holding a cloud of people are using laptops unacceptable. Tablet PC is effortless to hand-held use, maximum operations have transform, but the input when the handheld will not be proficient to make most people feel very good way. Of course, you can use at the chart, a little morsel strange, the perspective of the problem, but it is a matter of habit, you will know thatNewton really used the perspective of the problem is receivable. So, TabletPC approach is not very good? There is a rotating screen, which can be. Ah? Inside this issue a bit shrewd. We use state of the user to construct a prototype. When you want to hand out the screen folded, when in need to quickly enter into a laptop to open it to reinstate the appearance. This is a case of state conversion, conversion, maybe it does not need much period, maybe rotating device that can be mighty enough and does not increase the amount of price, but sorry, this state is not converted to use the experience to transform smooth, on this point , the user is difficult to accept. Think about those sliding the phone's keypad, I actually do not believe that the user input so quickly opened and closed the keyboard that allows users to feel the operation is too slow, this is not a answer of efficiency, the state is not occasioned by the conversion cozy and not make the most loyal user experience devise for such daunting. The brain is the single-threaded, at first like to do after. You want to insert here a complicated action, the brain does not like.
then we come back again, notebook computers,
Christian Louboutin Shoes, high-speed input, the Tablet PC how to do. This is a complete failure in previous attempts, the pen and the keyboard can not be compared. This issue will be the Apple key barrier to vanquish, I believe it gives the respond must be a virtual touch-screen soft keyboard. Also the only way Apple can make successful use of tablet PCs to collar the notebook market.
I met some users complained that the Internet is not a keyboard easy to use, then the tablet under the similar size can make useful keyboard? Of course. Because the soft keyboard does not need so many keys. In the Treo / Blackberry on the line only 10 keys; even on the PC, we need more keys, do not forget, the advantage is that the soft keyboard in a key position on more than one clasp to switch the display. In the 8.4 inches to 10.1 inches this size, place a row of 10-12 keys on hand a large people, not uncomfortable.
let's do an thing, the notebook will interact and then zoom it. I simulate to see at instructors, a segment of those written on the blackboard:
1. First in the laptop has a screen, could not try to touch. To use our eyes.
2. emulated along a keyboard, prose with the babies, with this action you have exhausted.
3. There is a mouse, it may be outer, The touch pad alternatively pointing stick.
But not matter what you use, you placarded? Your hands need the pointing appliance and input appliance on the switch behind and forth (it is precisely for of this, today there are many people like the pointing stick, not touchpad), your eyes need to alternate on the screen and keyboard - Although not prevalent. Oh, you're accustom to these switches, you in the elapse ten annuals of experience using a PC has turned it into a portion of your body.
Well, now we have written on the blackboard the three erase, let us return to 1983, that is, Apple Macintosh mouse to the masses of the before year. We reconsider the design of a public use of computing devices, graphical interface, and now we have two options: laptop mode and multi-touch approach, which would you choose? Which is better?
way I individually feel that the touch will be an perfect medalist. Because it is simple, intuitive. Not three devices, a device to input, operate and display all done, I do not need looks around, do not need to learn to use the mouse without looking at the indicator, I thought the little hand to move, up or down, what the TrackPoint, touchpad what what a mouse, all go to hell.
may write these words here you do not have deep emotions, I suggest that you try to make your aging parents to learn about the use of the mouse, you will comprehend. This innocuous-touch approach, I deem that in a few years Apple will be Christians who shouted: revolution. Yes,
Christian Louboutin UK, I admit it immediately.
I am compliant to interact with children on the codes so many words, but did not talk about technical concepts; because this product is produced apples. Apple is act what? AppleII did what? Macintosh did what? iPod did what? iPhone has done? What is the application? What is the concept? What is technology? What is the interactive experience? Right. It should do this and not otherwise.
finished my main problem is a few inferior issues.
First of all, I personally hope that this tablet PC attempts a simple bracket can be tilted at an angle to make it display use. This point of eyes and hands can be comfortable, lying in mattress when you can support in the abdomen, but this I do not hope, if this device from Nokia or innovation, it is no doubt there will be. But from Apple, there is no hope.
Secondly, we do not take this thing as a mobile Internet device (MID), or the iPhone accessories, the cause is very simple, the market is too small, Apple disdain. In today's many computing devices, the likelihood of defining new categories have been too small. Do this with a small niche market, not as to the enjoyment of it, put the laptop upside down put amenable.
third, and Tablet PC to do do is very another from the iPhone is that you have not defined the common public may require current applications. Network applications such as this, on the call, iPhone's reach can be regarded as innovative. However, in pill size, your competitor is not Windows Mobile or Symbian S60 devices such restricted capacity, but the monster full-featured PC, you can only do better with, preferably than the innovative applying - In fact, whether you ambition innovative applications, you ought work to so much difficulty to amplify software, rather than strength to do hardware.
Fourth, technology. I put the technology into a minor part of the last say, may be a lot of friends want to see technical dispute to be disappointed. Tablet PC products, but indeed it is. Nothing too much technical material to narrate. In the long term I wish to see ARM-based Tablet PC instead of x86, but for now the 1st generation of Apple products, if you do, then it is very daring,
Christian Louboutin D'Orsays, although not entirely impossible. Certainly be an convenience with ARM on power, integration and better and cheaper, but will have a meaningful value of engineering, software extravaganza is not often you can simply recompile the. Which manner that the pertinent characteristics should also be essential, if the underlying means can not do phone support, in a alike way to PC's nap is not a problem, our objective is to continue to use long, as long as Apple did, whether it is way of doing things.
eventually talk almost Foleo. This treatise was originally Willow I find I just jot to Apple4.us the Foleo. But I looked at the aboriginal source of the Apple Tablet, then I would mention for the source, do not knock about the bush.
Foleo people sighed with repent in the affirmative. Cause of its failure in all of the above thinking can be base. It is the lack of market awareness, its first application targeting a small market, and very important point, it could not find an entry point for cooperative marketing.
Sometimes people say that the temperament resolve success or failure, which in IT products is also reflected, Foleo regarded as an instance. Do you see the Apple iPod MP3 exist before there is so much to do before iTunes Napster - are detested by the melody industry; but Jobs and the music industry can cooperate to support his music. This is a very easy sagacity, the user need is music, not music actors, producers need to make money instead of losing money, music on the user's influence is far greater than a device contractor. You can straighten out this relationship, that of course is your success. The Foleo is what ideas it? Hawkins that market workers need to bring an end to ... the permission is a much trouble, so he developed the mobile communication context so you can not come up with a carrier engaged in the audit do not have mobile phones FCC certified products. He put the industry as an obstacle rather than resources. This is a big mistake. Apple and AT & T's sample is more than a good MBA case, workers can be enumerated as equipment providers, partners and the printing reception, I have no mistrust that operators will, as sought later sought afterward Apple iPhone, like smooth panel - look, but likewise a win-win.
lesson, there may be an episode where I must say, in the evolution of Foleo years, Sprint has been engaged in the WiMax web, the network after deleted. Although I do not have whichever newspaper, but quite, very possible the original Foleo is a built-in WiMAX equipment. WiMAX with Sprint had to give up the results difficult to see distinct way and say hastily listed. Of course, these can only surmise.
say from a purely technical point of view, Foleo if there is built-in mobile data communications, which means that off, affordable, should still be very good. I think Hawkins and Jobs in the Vision on the hereafter of private computing is not essentially different, Booksize equipment should be fashion. Hawkins insisted only inconsistency is the elements of the notebook. Taken so that the public scratching their heads circular route to bombard Booksize computing market.
If you look at respective to the delivery of the product development resources, then, Hawkins is absolutely top-notch designers or engineers, from the Palm to the Treo, out of the products are both soft and hard to cross the border, ease of use , there are wonders; but in marketing and operations, he and Jobs can not be entirely comparable.
stream, which is a employer before I left the corporation when I told my words, I will remember a lifetime.
