大约在一年前,LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,超薄液晶显示器)降到了10O0美元以下,大屏幕彩电和立体声扬声器也已经全部走向平面化。现在信用卡大小的PDA(Personal DigitalAssistant,个人数字助理)、最薄的手机以及全平面的个人计算机也正在研发之中。 尽管到目前为止,这些产品的市场价格仍然保持在相对较高的位置,销售还没有达到繁荣局面。但是设备生产制造商们已经从iMac的故事中学到一条经验,即有时候一种聪明、新颖的设计在某种程度上比功能更容易吸引客户。 随着技术的发展,在微小的空间里增加更多的功能将变得越来越容易,价格也变得越来越便宜,平面化产品更将是指日可待的事情。
About a year ago, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) dropped below $ 10O. Large-screen color TVs and stereo speakers were all flattened. Now a credit card-sized PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), the thinnest cell phone, and a full-scale personal computer are also being developed. Although the market prices of these products have so far remained relatively high, sales have not yet reached prosperity. But device manufacturers have learned from the story of iMac that sometimes a clever, novel design is somewhat more attractive than a feature to its customers. As technology evolves, adding more functionality to tiny spaces will become easier and cheaper, and making it more affordable will make it even easier.
