章节摘录

　　2. Software　　Like the iPhone, with which it shares a development environment （iPhone SDK, or software development kit, version 3.2 onwards）, the iPad only runs its own software, sftware downloaded from Apple's App Store, and soilware written by developers who have paid for a developer's license on registered devices. The iPad runs almost all third-party iPhone applications, displaying them at iPhone size or enlarging them to fill thetiPad's screen. Developers may also create or modify apps to take advantage of the iPad's features. Application developers use iPhone SDK for developing applications for iPad. The iPad ships with an improved version ofiPhone OS v3.2, and is to get iOS 4 by fall 2010.　　（ 1 ） Applications　　The iPad comes with several applications, including Safari, Mail, Photos, Video, YouTube, iPod, iTunes, App Store, iBooks, Maps, Notes, Calendar, Contacts, and Spotlight Search. Several are improved versions of applications developed for the iPhone.　　The iPad syncs with iTunes on a Mac or Windows PC. Apple ported its iWork suite from the Mac to the iPad, and sells pared down versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps in the App Store. Although the iPad is not designed to replace a mobile phone, a user can pair it with a Bluetooth headset and place phone calls over Wi-Fi or 3G using a VoIP application.　　（2） Digital rights management　　The iPad's design imposes strict restrictions in its usage. DRM intends to lock purchased video content to Apple's platform. The development model requires a non-disclosure agreement and paid subscription to develop for the iPad. It has the centralized approval process for apps as well as Apple's general control and lockdown of the platform itself, and that such centralized control could stifle software innovation. of particu　　ar concern is the ability for Apple to remotely disable or delete apps, media, or data on the iPad at will.　　Digital rights advocates, including the Free Sottware Foundation, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and computer engineer and activist Brewster Kahle, have criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions. Paul Sweeting, an analyst with GigaOM, is quoted by National Public Radio saying, "With the iPad, you have the anti-Intemet in your hands. It offers [the major media companies] the opportunity to essentially recreate the old business model, wherein they are pushing content to you on their terms rather than you going out and finding content, or a search engine discovering content for you." But Sweeting also thinks Apple's limitations make its products feel like living in a safe neighborhood, saying, "Apple is offering you a gated community where there's a guard at the gate, and there's probably maid service, too." Laura Sydell, the article's author, concludes, "As more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community." ……
