苹果发布iCloud服务 |
|
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. |
苹果公司本周二在开发者大会上推出云存储服务iCloud和新一代操作系统iOS 5，但并没有推出iPhone 5. 苹果CEO乔布斯暂停病休，向公众介绍了iCloud，它是一项能使用户用苹果的在线服务器同步、存储和推送数据的免费服务。 这项服务可以将用户在iTunes上购买的音乐、电子书和应用等免费共享到最多10种苹果产品上。所有的同步都会通过无线网络自动完成。 “iCloud与应用程序集成在一起，因此一切都是自动的。”乔布斯说。 乔布斯表示，这项服务基于他十年前就产生的一种想法——把计算机变成“个人中心”。 为了实现这一新功能，苹果公司最近几周已与数家主要音乐出版商达成了多项协议。业内高管透露，根据这些协议，他们将得到70%的iCloud服务收入分成，其余部分则归苹果公司所有。 |
