苹果推出云计算服务iCloud

旧金山时间6月6日,美国苹果公司推出在线存储云服务iCloud。其主要功能是在用

户对使用苹果iOS系统的移动设备进行充电时,系统会自动将用户的文档、购买的音乐、

应用程序、照相簿和系统设置等进行云端备份,再自动推送到用户的所有设备,用户在苹

果的智能手机、平板电脑和台式机上都可以同步获得这些内容。每位用户目前可以获得5G

的免费存储空间,从苹果购买的音乐、应用程序和电子书不占用免费空间,收费的大容量

云存储方案将在今年秋季推出。

Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, returned from sick leave to announce the

company’s new cloud storage service, iCloud.

The free service syncs users’ content - including emails, apps, documents

and music - on an online server so that it can be accessed on a computer or a

mobile device.

Speaking at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in

San Francisco, Mr Jobs said iCloud was Apple’s “next big insight”. He told the

audience that for a long time people had synced all their content with a computer

but this process was broken.

小编注:insight 一词的中文释义是“洞察力”,观其英文解释为"The capacity to

discern the true nature of a situation; penetration." 及 "The act or outcome of

grasping the inward or hidden nature of things or of perceiving in an intuitive

manner." 乔帮主在此处称iCloud是Apple的"next big insight",新华社将其译为:“下

一个伟大的远见”。

He said that every device now contains music, photos and documents and

“keeping all these devices in sync is driving us crazy”.

iCloud will ensure that a song or an application bought on a mobile device will

automatically be available on other devices too. It also lets users sync their

documents and photos between multiple devices.

The music storage part of iCloud has attracted the most attention in recent

weeks. The free part of the service syncs music bought from iTunes but for an

annual subscription Apple will also scan the music that you haven't bought from

iTunes and add it to your iCloud service if it is in their library.

小编注:云计算(iCloud)这项服务的免费部分(The free part of the service)能

将你从iTune上买到的音乐进行同步(syncs music bought from iTunes)。而对于购买

了年订阅服务的Apple其他设备而言(but for an annual subscription Apple),也同样

能扫描你尚未购买的iTunes音乐(will also scan the music that you haven't bought

from iTunes),并且如果这些音乐在你的图书馆里,就可以被加入到你的云计算服务中心

去。

Mr Jobs noted that Apple had tried cloud services before. He said that some

would say: “Why should I believe them? They’re the ones that brought me

Mobile Me."

He admitted that Mobile Me, the cloud service that stores photos, contacts,

emails and calenders, “wasn’t our finest hour but we learned a lot.”

WWDC is the event at which Apple has typically announced the new iPhone

but Mr Jobs began the event by saying he wanted to talk about “the soul” of

Apple’s products, its software, before handing the presentation over to the

company’s senior executives.

Apple announced iOS 5, a major upgrade to the operating system that runs its

iPad, iPhone and iPod touch mobile devices. The new version includes deep

integration with Twitter, the social network, and upgrades to the Safari web

browser and a quick-start mode for the camera.

The company also gave details of Mac OS X Lion - the new version of the

operating system that runs Apple’s desktops and laptops. The update brings

more gesture-controls to Apple’s computers, based on some of the innovations

that the company has made with its mobile devices.

小编注:"gesture-control"这个词组已经有了比较通用的译名“手势控制”,专指电

脑使用中不需要用鼠标、甚至不需要触屏,只需隔空滑动就可以完成控制的技术。

Michael Gartenberg, an analyst with Gartner, said on Twitter that the

auto-save feature was “reason alone to use a Mac”.

Mr Jobs absence for much of the keynote was noted by observers. John

Gruber, a blogger and developer who has written about Apple for many years,

described the speech as “the first Post-Steve” keynote.

Mr Jobs has been on sick leave from Apple since early this year but returned in

March to announce the iPad 2. Yesterday, he took to the stage to the strains of

James Brown’s ‘I Feel Good’.
