Apple launches iCloud, but no iPhone 5 |
蘋果發布iCloud服務 |

Apple on Tuesday unveiled a new cloud storage service iCloud and updated operating system iOS 5, but no iPhone 5, at its Worldwide Developer Conference. Apple CEO Steve Jobs returned from medical leave to introduce iCloud, a free service that allows users to sync, store and push data from the company's online server to all their Apple devices. With the iCloud service, users can share all the songs, books and applications they bought from iTunes on up to 10 Apple devices for free. The synchronization will automatically happen via wireless connections. "iCloud is integrated with your apps, so everything happens automatically," Jobs said. According to Jobs, the new cloud service is based on an idea that he had a decade ago, which envisioned turning computers into personal hubs. In order to make iCloud happen, Apple has signed a number of deals in recent weeks with major music publishers. Industry executives said they will get 70 percent of the iCloud service revenue, while Apple will keep the rest of it. |
蘋果公司本周二在開發者大會上推出云存儲服務iCloud和新一代操作系統iOS 5，但并沒有推出iPhone 5. 蘋果CEO喬布斯暫停病休，向公眾介紹了iCloud，它是一項能使用戶用蘋果的在線服務器同步、存儲和推送數據的免費服務。 這項服務可以將用戶在iTunes上購買的音樂、電子書和應用等免費共享到最多10種蘋果產品上。所有的同步都會通過無線網絡自動完成。 “iCloud與應用程序集成在一起，因此一切都是自動的。”喬布斯說。 喬布斯表示，這項服務基于他十年前就產生的一種想法——把計算機變成“個人中心”。 為了實現這一新功能，蘋果公司最近幾周已與數家主要音樂出版商達成了多項協議。業內高管透露，根據這些協議，他們將得到70%的iCloud服務收入分成，其余部分則歸蘋果公司所有。 |
