Vanzarile iPhone 3G afectate negativ de Windows Mobile
Dar nu in modul in care v-ati fi asteptat, ci asa:
Sources within Apple's retail stores report that sales of the iPhone 3G are being slowed down by handhelds running Microsoft Windows Mobile/WinCE. That's because the stores have been selling new iPhones to customers using the old EasyPay, a problematic Pocket PC handheld computer that's causing employees lots of grief.
Pe scurt: din motive estetice, Steve Jobs nu vrea sa vada case de marcat in magazinele Apple. Drept care tranzactiile se fac pe niste Pocket PC-uri din 1900 toamna cu Windows CE, care ruleaza EasyPay (o aplicatie 3rd party - nici ea tocmai performanta); ca sa puna capac, din motive de securitate sistemul face auto-logoff la cateva minute, ceea ce-i aduce pe unii vanzatori la disperare :-)


Doar n-ai vrea sa foloseasca un iPhone pe post de replacement...
"The units have an integrated barcode reader for identifying products without typing in their SKU", "The unit itself connects to an external credit card reader".
Un device suportind asa ceva contrazice total filozofia Apple :-)
Din ce citesc articolul, problema e cu minunata lor de aplicatie EasyPay, nu cu device-ul sau WinCE in sine...
