Vol 6 Chapter 37: Mixed reputation

After more than an hour of the press conference, before 12 noon, when Zuckerberg was still worried about his performance at the press conference, he couldn't help but call Feng Yiping, to Moscone Exhibition Center. As the center, thousands of messages are sent to all parts of the world.

By the end of the afternoon, a large number of commentary articles had appeared on the Internet.

Microsoft, the current leader in the US high-tech industry, immediately expressed its views to Bloomberg.

The old adversary that Jobs never forgets, Bill Gates will naturally not come forward at this time. The world's richest man must have the tolerance of the world's richest man.

It was the high-pitched Microsoft CEO Ballmer who came forward.

To Jobs, this mobile phone, which he believed to be "reinvented the mobile phone", his first sentence was, "The iPhone has no chance of gaining any important market share."

In order to emphasize this point of view, he deliberately repeated, "There is no chance,"

"This is an alternative product worth $500," he said. "From the pricing point of view, each of them can make a lot of money, but they may only have a 2% or 3% market share."

Nor can it be said that what he said is wrong. US$500 is not a small expenditure for the American people.

Regarding the matter of making money, he seems to be right. Apple later, although its shipments accounted for a small proportion, it has always accounted for more than 60% of the total profit in the mobile phone market.

So, although he made no secret of his contempt for this highly anticipated product from Apple, he was still partly right.

Friends who produce mobile phones are naturally also making their own voices through various channels at this time.

The world’s second largest mobile phone manufacturer, Motorola’s Chief Technology Officer Ms. Wu Sili, this may be the Indian lady with the highest achievement in the technology industry at this time. After watching the relevant video of the press conference, she immediately wrote on her blog. Said, "Any technology on the iPhone is not revolutionary or destructive,"

"Touch interface, mobile sensor, accelerometer, deformation, gesture recognition, built-in MP3 player, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2 million pixel camera, these have been used in the products of Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and other mobile industry leaders."

The implication is that Apple is just old wine in a new bottle.

However, she didn't know if she had ever thought about a problem. Xi Shi's face is the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Dong Shi's face is also the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but in general, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

And if we can find the person with the lowest IQ in the world, we will find that his brain, and the composition of Newton and Einstein's brain, will also not be any different.

Her comment really didn't make any sense.

"So, they set prices at $499, and $599, hehe, I think this is a very courageous act,"

Therefore, this Ms. Wusli is really not in the same class as Jobs.

She is still at the level that meets the needs of users, and Jobs has always created needs.

He believes that as long as the product is perfected enough by himself, some people are willing to pay a big price for it.

Later, Apple became known as the kidney machine in China, which fully confirmed his vision and the limitations of Ms. Wu Sili.

In fact, among the mobile phones launched by Motorola and Nokia during the same period, there are also products with four to five hundred dollars.

Feng Yiping thought, what Ballmer and Ms. Wusli said were more for their own people, "Relax, Apple's iPhone has no future and will not affect us."

Feng Yiping believed that in a year or two, they would look back at what they had said today, fearing that their faces would become hot.

The issue that Feng Yiping and Rubin argued in the morning was the cancellation of the physical keyboard design for the Apple iPhone, which was also criticized online.

I have to say that at the moment when BlackBerry is very popular, the BlackBerry is popular. In addition to the advocacy of security, the BlackBerry keyboard is the main reason why many people like it.

For this, even within Apple, there is no lack of opposition.

The popularity of well-known consumer electronics products represents the opinions of many people.

"I don't have that cold with the iPhone. As a PDA user and a Windows phone user, this thing is of no use in my hands... Please Apple, please make a real PDA,"

On the well-known technology blog TechCrunch, a well-known columnist also thought that Apple’s cancellation of the physical keyboard was a huge mistake.

"Don't be surprised. If a large number of iPhone buyers spend a lot of extra time sending and receiving emails every day, they will regret not buying BlackBerry."

Like Ballmer, in order to increase credibility, he also added, "I hope my terrible prediction will not come true."

Feng Yiping knew that his prediction was not realized, but the BlackBerry he admired, which ceased to exist.

Therefore, Feng Yiping feels that some people in the United States are indeed very stubborn and are always subconsciously resisting some new things.

This is really far from our country.

He believes that there will be many people in China who are already crazy about this mobile phone that will take 6 months to go on the market and get Hong Kong to buy parallel imports.

Is it bad to cancel the physical keyboard? Doesn't exist, isn't the virtual keyboard more stylish?

As for $499, $599 is too high? It does not exist.

Do you know how much it cost my first mobile phone, or an analog phone? More than $5,000.

As for what is so good about Apple's phone? That is good everywhere.

Of course, in the US, there are also many people who are crazy about this iPhone.

"I am looking forward to the launch of the iPhone, how much I am looking forward to, let's put it this way, I see the iPhone, like a teenager saw his first "Playboy","

This analogy is very powerful.

"That's not a mobile phone, it's a very cool magic product, but Apple can mass-produce this product,"

"Even though it still seems to have some flaws, the iPhone is still the most advanced and forward-looking electronic product in the past few years. It can do a lot of things very well and is very pleasant, so that you want to forgive. Its flaws,"

A Times reporter wrote, "Please, those who complain about the iPhone, look at the iPod five years ago."

"The first-generation iPod, that monochrome interface! That cumbersome roulette! It looks like something a caveman would use, and now the iPod has made revolutionary progress,"

"Imagine that the future iPhone will definitely improve a lot. You will have a great phone in a few years, and it will be cheaper,"

"So if you still can't appreciate this iPhone, please look further away!"

This one really saw far enough.

Before long, all the smart phones in the world will look like the iPhone.

The most violent reaction was the group of Androids.

Although they agreed with Feng Yiping and Rubin's judgment that the system they developed could be applied to many devices in the future, unfortunately, they did not find a suitable one before today.

Until they saw the iPhone.

This is simply a carrier for carrying this system.

If in the future ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ everyone's mobile phones are replaced by such smart phones, isn't it possible that the system they are developing now will run on hundreds of millions of devices?

Of course, after repeatedly watching the relevant videos of the press conference and searching for relevant information on the Internet, they are not without opinions on Apple.

They feel that Apple is still so stubborn and closed. It seems that Apple still has no intention of letting developers customize personalized apps for this smartphone.

Therefore, although Apple is outstanding, it is inevitable that it is a bit petty in comparison.

Because the Android they are developing has been positioned as an open platform from the very beginning.

This is the grandeur.

But in any case, this evening, it’s only Android that can hold a celebration party like Apple.

When Feng Yiping received Rubin's call, he clearly heard the laughter over there, "Feng," Rubin seemed to have a big tongue, "When will you be able to use the iPhone?"

"It should be before the official listing," Feng Yiping said.

He has always had such privileges.

"At that time, can you give him to us?"

"No problem," Feng Yiping agreed casually, "but wait, what do you want to do?"

Rubin is definitely not an avid apple fan, "You guys don't want to crack it,"

Rubin laughed "hehe" a few times.

These guys!

As soon as he was about to go home, he received a call from Ma Ling, "Ping, John and the others, are going to come here for vacation again,"

"Oh, okay, when will they arrive?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, Anne will come too,"

It turned out to be just what it said.

This is a bit embarrassing.
