Almost 38,000 folks turned out for Technologizer's live coverage of Apple's WWDC keynote yesterday morning. We had a good time. But as the comments came in from attendees, there was clearly a serious contingent of folks who still held out hope that Apple was going to announce a new iPhone yesterday–and who just didn't care that much about software and services. For them, no new hardware meant that the event was a letdown.
昨天早晨,近38000人參加了蘋果全球開發(fā)者大會的發(fā)布會。我們度過了一個美好的時光。但是就與會者的各方意見看來,寄希望蘋果發(fā)布新一代iPhone訊息的人不在少數(shù)——這些人根本對軟件和服務毫無興趣。然而對于他們來說,昨天的發(fā)布會無疑是令人失望的。

This was among the most news-packed Apple events I can recall, and in its own way it was one of the most wildly ambitious ones. Apple is finally making the iPhone and iPad into autonomous devices that don't rely on a Mac or Windows PC. It wants to store vast quantities of data for us and be responsible for safeguarding it and getting it to the right place. It's making iOS look more like OS X and OS X look more like iOS.
據(jù)我所知,這是蘋果近來諸多焦點新聞中的一條,而且目前看來該計劃野心勃勃。蘋果總算是實現(xiàn)了iPhone和iPad的獨立自動化,而不用依賴于Mac或Windows個人電腦。云服務旨在為用戶儲存大量的數(shù)據(jù)并確保其安全,同時進行數(shù)據(jù)的任意傳輸。它使得iOS操作系統(tǒng)看起來更像是OS X系統(tǒng),而OS X系統(tǒng)卻更像是iOS系統(tǒng)。

It's not yet clear whether all of this stuff will pan out, and people who already bristle at Apple's approach to the world will like this new, more fully Apple-centric version less than ever. But if you think the event was a big yawn because there wasn't a new iPhone that was a bit thinner and a bit faster, you live in a different world than I do.
目前尚不清楚這些計劃和愿景前景如何,更不清楚這些已經(jīng)對蘋果鯨吞世界行徑頗有微詞的人們是否會買蘋果的賬。但是如果你覺得昨天的會議由于沒有新一代iPhone訊息發(fā)布而顯得乏善可陳的話,那么你和我真可謂是兩個世界的人。

Judging the implications of all this is going to take a while, in part because few of yesterday's new announcements involve anything that's immediately available. (Lion will reach consumers in July; iOS 5 is coming “this fall.”) For now, the best we can do is mull the news over. Here are some of the things I'm wondering about:
要想搞清楚這一切對未來意味著什么得花些工夫,因為昨天會議所發(fā)布的訊息短時間內(nèi)看來是難以得到實踐的(Lion系統(tǒng)七月才會正式發(fā)布;iOS 5則要等到秋天)。目前我們能做的是細細琢磨昨天的會議議題。我對這樣幾件事情比較感興趣:
