苹果推出云计算服务iCloud

WWDC is the event at which Apple has typically announced the new iPhone but Mr Jobs began the event by saying he wanted to talk about “the soul” of Apple’s products, its software, before handing the presentation over to the company’s senior executives.

Apple announced iOS 5, a major upgrade to the operating system that runs its iPad, iPhone and iPod touch mobile devices. The new version includes deep integration with Twitter, the social network, and upgrades to the Safari web browser and a quick-start mode for the camera.

The company also gave details of Mac OS X Lion - the new version of the operating system that runs Apple’s desktops and laptops. The update brings more gesture-controls to Apple’s computers, based on some of the innovations that the company has made with its mobile devices.

小编注："gesture-control"这个词组已经有了比较通用的译名“手势控制”，专指电脑使用中不需要用鼠标、甚至不需要触屏，只需隔空滑动就可以完成控制的技术。

Michael Gartenberg, an analyst with Gartner, said on Twitter that the auto-save feature was “reason alone to use a Mac”.

Mr Jobs absence for much of the keynote was noted by observers. John Gruber, a blogger and developer who has written about Apple for many years, described the speech as “the first Post-Steve” keynote.

Mr Jobs has been on sick leave from Apple since early this year but returned in March to announce the iPad 2. Yesterday, he took to the stage to the strains of James Brown’s ‘I Feel Good’.
