Advanced - 假冒iPhone

Discussion

说到苹果公司的产品,有的人非常喜欢并信赖它,而有的人会认为它太麻烦就排斥它。萝卜青菜,各有所爱嘛。喜欢有喜欢的道理,不喜欢有不喜欢的道理。前不久苹果公司诞生了一名新成员——iPhone。这款产品真的就如它所宣传的那么好吗?还是它有很多隐形毛病?快快拿出消费者的精明来吧,说说喜欢或不喜欢这款产品的理由。

中国假货非常厉害。 数量极多品质还行。 信息情报传达千里。 外企推出新品之前、 国内市场早有假货。 这种才能技术热情 如果转到其它方面、 中国一定加速发展。

I've had my iPhone for more than a week now, and I do love it. Unfortunately, my Chinese is not good enough to take part in this conversation. How do I type Chinese characters on my iPhone?

This is a bit off topic, but has anyone tried the Grammar Guide? I tried multiple topics in there and all I get is empty pages (it says"No records")

Dottie, so far the iPhone only supports English text input.

As far as I know, there is no plan to support Chinese character input for the iPhone. So I guess this phone will be quite irrelevant in China.

我觉得这趟课像iPhone广告似的。 这并不是批评Cpod,用中文说的话,我觉得任何话题有兴趣。 我有意见:可不可以采访一位来自苹果公司的提升员? 我总觉得自然谈话比这种制造的对话有用。 其他的poddies呢? I have a suggestion: How about an interview with someone from Apple China? This whole lesson is like a big ad for Apple anyway (and I don't mean that in a bad way). I've always thought that natural speech is much more useful than these 'devised' dialogues, and I'm sure Apple would be happy to send someone from PR around to the CPod studios to talk about their latest products. It would give us both a) vocab related to the lesson topic and b) natural dialogue. I've always thought CPod should do some more natural dialogues, at all levels.

They say there’s no plan to market the iPhone in Japan at the moment due to the difference in transmission method between Japan and US/Europe. I am going to take good care of my six-year old Motorola for a long time to come.

I did not say that there will be no iPhone in China. Its just that iPhone does not currently support inputting Chinese characters, although it does display Chinese text in Web pages and email. The reason is because designers like Steve Jobs decided to have no stylus stick for aesthetic reasons, making it impractical to do handwriting recognition for inputting Chinese characters (fingers are too big/fat to write the strokes properly). The other alternative is to use some sort of Pinyin-based input program, but this will be inferior/slower compared to other devices with a stylus. I was considering buying an iPhone until I found out this limitation (because I need to write Chinese emails). Maybe iPhone version 2.

I think I'm sticking with my Motorola A1000 (Symbian OS), then upgrade to one of its Linux-based later models, e.g. Motorola A1200. A stylus stick is useful IMO.

For firmware up to 1.1.4: pinyin and other keypad entry systems nativecn from iphone.org.hk (free distributor) wefit from iphone.org.hk (free distributor) icosta from iphone.freecoder.org (i could never get this to work) gestures (pen without the stick) HWPen from iPhone Cake (install source) I haven't got this to work - but it was beta...and looked nice in the pics. ...to name a few... there are reportedly over 400k iphones in china, so apple's 30% profit share won't work with yidong (china mobile).

Apple also just recently added pinyin and HWR keyboards in their iPhone 2.0 OS beta. So it should be available when the OS is officially released in June.

有时候我觉得I-phone就是天下最佳的手机,质量好,外观漂亮,风格很特别,还有功能非常多,不过它有个致命的缺点,它没有键盘,因此我选了个 G-1。说实话,我到目前为止对我的 G-1 可真爽啊!我被打死也不买一个 I-Phone,没有用!我的 G-1 足够我的需求喽! 

OK...我承认,我一直很后悔我目光短浅的买这个破手机嘞!这里有没有人想要出手一个 I-Phone 呢???

This needs to be an intermediate or upper intermediate lesson.

thanks for pointing this one out pretzell.Maybe,as tech changes so fast,they could do one at one of those levels where someone is trying to decide between an iphone and an android.Should provide plenty of material to discuss the pros and cons of each when comparing.

pretzellogic says

baba, your scenario makes sense. I was also thinking that an iPhone discussion is good free marketing to tech savvy 20-30 somethings interested in learning Chinese.

tvan in reply to pretzellogic

I recently studied/am studying this lesson. I like it because, one, it gives lots of good, unfamiliar (to me) descriptive terms/俗语 and, two, because it lacks English translations. The lack of translations (including the pop-ups) makes you work and, IMO, learn more.

Still, an Intermediate-level would make it more accessible. Not only that, but... 4 Gig? C'mon man.

pretzellogic in reply to tvan

tvan, a while after I posted this, I was thinking also that it would have been better to say, we need another lesson similar to this one (I think) on the iPhone. This lesson requires too much work for me to translate, but for advanced learners, it's probably really helpful. In fact, i'd probably think it was just right. But i'm at a level now where I need translations. Selfish I guess, but do hope that others find translations helpful. I suspect that most of the poddies aren't at upper inter or above, but I don't know.

tvan in reply to pretzellogic

pretzellogic, yeah, no disagreement. An updated lesson at a lower level would be good. They could debate Android v. iPhone v. iTouch, etc. (Though China's government doesn't seem to like Google much these days.)

Also, this lesson only had pinyin popups on the dialogues and expansion. The older lessons list fewer vocabulary terms, so it's pretty much sink or swim. Still, re: translations for Advanced Lessons, it seems to me that lessons should cater to the level for which their written, not the community at large. My opinion.
