U-Michal Ždanský I-iPod endala ohlwini lwe-Apple ishiya iphothifoliyo yenkampani unomphela. I-iPod Classic, okuyimodeli eyethulwa yi-Apple eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, yanyamalala ekuthengisweni ngemva kokubuyekezwa iwebhusayithi izinkampani ezihlanganisa ezohwebo. I-iPod Classic yaba yindlalifa eqondile ye-iPod yokuqala, uSteve Jobs ayikhombisa umhlaba ngo-2001 futhi eyasiza inkampani ukuthi ifinyelele phezulu.
Namuhla, isimo sama-iPod sihluke kakhulu. Ngenkathi bebala iningi lemali engenayo ngaphambi kokwethulwa kwe-iPhone, namuhla baletha ingxenye encane kuphela yenzuzo yonke ye-Apple, phakathi kwamaphesenti angu-1-2. Akumangazi ukuthi i-Apple ayizange yethule imodeli entsha eminyakeni emibili, futhi kungenzeka singayiboni nakulo nyaka. I-iPod Classic ayizange ibuyekezwe eminyakeni emihlanu yonke, okubonakale emishinini. Kwakuwukuphela kwe-iPod ukusebenzisa isondo lokuchofoza elaliguquguquka ngaleso sikhathi kuyilapho abanye beshintshela ezikrinini zokuthinta (ngaphandle kwe-iPod Shuffle), okuwukuphela kwedivayisi yeselula ebisene-hard drive, nakuba inamandla amakhulu, kanye nomshini wokugcina ongawusebenzisa. 30-pin isixhumi.
Kwase kuyindaba yesikhathi ngaphambi kokuba i-iPod Classic igcine iqede uhambo lwayo olude, futhi abaningi bayamangala ukuthi ayizange yenzeke kudala. Ezidlalweni zomculo ezitholakalayo, i-iPod Classic cishe yayidayiswe kancane kunawo wonke. Ngakho-ke umjikelezo womkhiqizo we-iPod yakudala uyaphela namuhla, impela iminyaka emihlanu kuya osukwini. Ukubuyekezwa kokugcina kwethulwa ngoSepthemba 9, 2009. Ngakho vumela i-iPod Classic iphumule ngokuthula. Umbuzo usamile ukuthi i-Apple izokwenzani nabanye abadlali abakhona.
RIP ihlazo elingaka. Isinyathelo esiqondakalayo, kodwa ngingalindela ukuthi u-Tim avalelise ku-classic ngendlela ehloniphekile. Ngokwami, ngingathanda i-RIP yokugcina yesizukulwane sakudala, lapho i-apula izosebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bakamuva njenge-retina, i-aluminium unibody, njll. Kungaba ukuvalelisa okuhle.
I-iPod engcono kakhulu ye-Apple. Sinababili ekhaya futhi sizobanakekela. I-Apple ayinanto yabalandeli bomculo abangaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi (kuphela eyabantu abadinga nje umculo omncane). Ngakho-ke, bavala inkathi yama-mp3 alandiwe futhi bangena enkathini yezinsizakalo ze-steam.
Kalula nje. Ukhuluma kimi ngokusuka enhliziyweni. Kodwa ngeke ngikhathazeke, i-iP6 isivele ino-128GB, ngakho-ke lapho i-iPod Classics isiphelile, kuzokwazi ukuba ne-iP7 eno-256GB :-)
Ngeke ngivumele i-iPod Classic (ngenxa yobukhulu bediski) kanye nokulawula kwayo, noma ngabe othile uzama ukulawula enye yalezo zisetshenziswa ezizwelayo ukuthintwa eziwela phezu kwethu njengama-meteorite ngenkathi silele noma ngaphandle kwezibuko.
Angazi ukuthi kungani omunye umuntu ohlanya esungula izinto ezinjengama-touch control crap? Umphumela uba ukuthi imvamisa yenza lokho umuntu angakufuni nangakudingi.
