Top 10 things to hate about the Apple iPhone

1. Slow mobile data
EDGE is 2.5G, so the top speed you can get from it is about 100Kbit/s. Also, the only Australian phone network that supports it is Telstra - everyone else will only be able to use slower-than-dialup GPRS. The iPhone would be way cooler with 1.8Mbit/s HSDPA. (See our analysis of why Apple probably used EDGE in preference to 3G in our previous iPhone report).

1.低速的移动网络。EDGE 属于2.5G,最高速率是100Kb/s,比澳大利亚的电信 GPRS 拨号还要慢。拥有 1.8Mb/s 的 iphone 也是徒劳。

2. Battery life sucks
Five hours of talk/browsing/email or 16 hours of audio playback? Look, we're not saying the iPhone isn't an amazing device, but you're going to want a charger on your desk at work, one in your car, one on your bedside table...

2.电池寿命短。很遗憾,ipone 只能提供5小时通话/上网/发送邮件或者是16小时音频播放。所以,虽然 iphone 有那么多激动人心的功能,但是你随时随地给它充电,在家里,在车里,或在办公室里…

3. Built-in battery
It must be the only mobile phone on the market that doesn't have an easily user-replaceable battery. We know from the iPod that batteries age pretty quickly, but who wants to send their phone back to Apple for servicing when it needs a new battery? I don't want to have to go back to my dowdy old Nokia while Apple swaps the battery. That's a major flaw.

3.内置式电池。只有早期市面上才会出现那些不能更换电池的手机,既然 iphone 的电池寿命相当短,当需要一个新的电池时,谁愿意把他们手机送到到APPLE公司去维修?当iphone电池用完时,难道用户又回到老式的NOKIA?

4. Touch screen
Have you ever stood at a touch-screen terminal in a shop punching away at the screen, trying to get it to register your touch? Despite what Apple disparagingly called "small plastic keyboards" on other mobiles, they're way more likely to work reliably than a touch-screen. No doubt Jobs has licensed the world's best touch-screen technology, but it's still likely to be the weakest point of the phone.

4.触摸屏。尽管苹果公司轻视别的公司是小塑料键盘,但是不可否认即使是世界上最好的触摸技术,也可能是手机最脆弱的环节。

5. Heavy data usage
There's a reason why networks love ‘push email' phones like the Blackberry: it's because a tremendous amount of compression and optimisation can be done at the carrier-side before the data is sent over the air. An ultra-heavy user of a Blackberry might only use 20MB in a month - regular users will use just a few megs. On the other hand, the iPhone uses old-world ‘polling' email methods - POP3 or IMAP, where the phone will check every X minutes for new email and download full emails. The phone might have enough CPU power to rescale that 7MB JPEG, but it still has to download a 7MB JPEG. Either the service fees that go with the phone are going to be huge, or carriers are going to take a bath on data pricing and risk network congestion.

5.数据运算量过大。“黑莓”手机受网络用户推崇的原因是它使用了大量的数据压缩和优化技术,用起来方便流畅。iphone 复杂的功能反而会给基本的使用带来麻烦。 [比如要接电话时它死机了?]

6. Only a two megapixel camera
OK, camera phones are never going to beat a digital SLR, but Sony Ericsson has had a 3.2 Megapixel cameraphone out for months now. Unless S-E tied up exclusive supply on that part, it's tough to see why Apple wouldn't have gone for it.

6.只有200w 像素的摄像头。虽然手机无法替代数码相机,但是,索爱手机上已经出现320w 像素的摄像头了。

7. Proprietary tie-ins
Look, I'm not saying that the rest of the mobile industry isn't rife with proprietary tie-ins. Every carrier installs their crap onto mobiles, they disable useful manufacturer features so that you're forced to use their less-useful and more expensive services. But shouldn't we hold Apple to a higher standard? The iPhone can do push email according to Jobs, but only for people who have a Yahoo webmail account. Bad luck if you prefer Gmail or some other mail provider.

7.专有配件。这样会强迫用户使用它们华而不实的服务。比如 iphone 仅限使用 Yahoo 邮箱,但是如果用户喜欢用 Gmail 或者其他的邮箱呢?

8. No video iChat
Er, hello? Apple has an incredible base of customers out there with integrated webcams - doubtlessly more than any other PC or software maker - so what a missed opportunity!

8.没有 iChat 视频聊天。苹果的手机产品竟然没有配备这个软件,岂不是浪费?

9. Apple chooses your mobile network
Apple has announced that its exclusive sales partner in the US will be the mobile network Cingular. Presumably, that's because even though iPhone is going to be an obvious hit, there are many political battles Apple faces in breaking into the telco world: powerful alliances and rebate schemes between handset makers and networks, the networks' fears that Apple might at some point introduce iTunes purchasing over-the-air, stealing away one of their valuable revenue streams and more. The end result? In each country, the phone will probably be locked to one carrier. (Interestingly, though, in Australia, carriers are legally obliged to unlock phones free of charge at the customer's request - though that doesn't cancel other contractual obligations such as ongoing plan fees.)

9.手机网络由 apple 指定。这样一来,其他地区/网络的用户要使用 iphone 就得求助于第三方手段来解除锁定了。

10. Only 8GB storage
Ok, ok, sure, it's the biggest storage capacity of any phone on the market, probably, but 8GB is still pretty limited. Considering how good the video playback capabilities of the iPhone are, it's unfortunate that you won't actually be able to fit that much video on the device.

10.只有 8GB 的存储空间。

小编结语:看起来,iPhone发扬了苹果公司美观漂亮、功能强大的特点,一眼看上去会让人不禁怦然心动;也继承了苹果公司不肯分人一杯羹的吝啬——我的地盘听我的。套用一句老话:Every coin has two sides,看你喜欢哪一面了。
