很偶然地,看到一篇 07 年的文章,讲为什么 iPhone 注定失败。其中有一段是这样的:

…iPhone将失败,因为它的设计存在根本缺陷。鼓励iPhone开发的设计师和技术爱好者已经落入了所有过度硬件和软件设计师的陷阱;认为他们的用户就像他们自己一样。正如我在《为什么软件糟透了》一书中非常详细地阐述的那样,你的用户不是你。iPhone的设计师已经忘记了宇宙的基本法则。市场将严厉惩罚他们这样做。

刚好为我 前两天的感受(只做自己想做的)提供了弱智反例,笑死。

除了文章很好笑外,下面的评论很有意思。可以看到用户们多么激烈地反驳他,骂他傻逼。用户看得比他透彻太多了,因为用户是用的,是感受的,不是像作者那样用脑子去分析的

有个人说他用过所有诺基亚和黑莓,浏览器几乎都不可用,苹果是头一个把它做到能用的:

This is where Apple is fundamentally different. It’s not about features; it’s about simplicity and focusing on the things that you want to make work.

There is a reason why the iPhone has a camera but won’t let you take video (I don’t know what it is – but they decided to skip on that). Most Nokia’s with camera’s can take movie clips now. …

iPhone skimped on a lot of features when compared to equally priced Nokia’s and Sony Ericsson’s – but ultimately it’s the whole package that counts - Steve Jobs will never let a product out of the door that has a browser that works mediocre at best regardless how good the hardware is. That is the price that you pay when you buy Apple.

还有个用户评论,我看到都有点感动,但不知道为什么:

I work in IT. I had my first iPhone support call yesterday. I asked the user what they thought of it as I looked up how to set an SMTP port–add a colon after the server name–and got this response:

“This is probably the coolest thing I have ever owned.”
