David Pogue: Cool new things you can do with your mobile

Traducător: Florian Surcel Corector: Laszlo Kereszturi

I'm the weekly tech critic for the New York Times.

Sunt critic saptamanal pe probleme tehnologice la New York Times

I review gadgets and stuff.

si fac recenzii pentru tot felul de gadget-uri si lucruri de genul asta.

And mostly what good dads should be doing this time of year

Ce ar trebui, in principal, sa faca niste tatici buni in acesta perioada a anului

is nestling with their kids and decorating the Christmas tree.

ar fi sa-si petreaca timpul acasa cu copiii decorand pomul de Craciun.

What I'm mostly doing this year

Ce fac eu in principal in aceasta perioada

is going on cable TV and answering the same question:

merg pe la televiziunile prin cablu si raspund la aceeasi intrebare:

"What are the tech trends for next year?"

"Care sunt tendintele in tehnologie pentru anul viitor?"

And I'm like, "Didn't we just go through this last year?"

si imi spun: ""Nu tocmai ce-am trecut prin asta si anul trecut?"

But I'm going to pick the one that interests me most, and that is the

Dar am sa aleg una dintre cele care mi-au trezit interesul cel mai mult, si anume

completed marriage of the cell phone and the Internet.

mariajul complet dintre telefoanele mobile si internet.

You know, I found that volcano on Google Images,

Stiti, am gasit acel vulcan pe Google Images,

not realizing how much it makes me look like the cover of Dianetics.

si nu am realizat cat de mult ma face sa seaman cu coperta revistei Dianetics.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Anyway, this all started a few years ago,

Oricum, toate acestea au inceput cu cativa ani in urma,

when they started carrying your voice over the Internet rather than over a phone line,

cand comunicatiile prin voce au inceput sa utilizeze mai degraba Internetul decat liniile telefonice,

and we've come a long way since that.

si am parcurs impreuna un drum lung de-atunci.

But that was interesting in itself. This is companies like Vonage.

Dar acest drum a fost interesant in sine. Sunt companii ca Vonage.

Basically you take an ordinary telephone, you plug it into this little box

In esenta iei un telefon obisnuit, il conectezi la aceasta cutiuta

that they give you and the box plugs into your cable modem.

data de ei si cutiuta o conectezi la modemul tau.

Now, it works just like a regular phone.

In acest moment functioneaza ca un telefon normal.

So you can pick up the phone, you hear a dial tone,

Poti sa ridici receptorul si sa auzi un ton,

but its just a fake-out. It's a WAV file of a dial tone,

dar este doar un ton fals. Este de fapt un fisier de tip WAV care contine acel ton,

just to reassure you that the world hasn't ended.

doar ca sa te reasigure ca lumea nu s-a sfarsit.

It could be anything. It could be salsa music

Poate fi orice. Poate fi o melodie salsa

or a comedy routine -- it doesn't matter.

sau ceva comic - nu conteaza.

The little box has your phone number.

Cutiuta respectiva are numarul tau de telefon.

So that's really cool -- you can take it to London or Siberia,

Ei, asta este chiar interesant - poti s-o iei cu tine la Londra sau in Siberia,

and your next door neighbor can dial your home number and your phone will ring,

iar vecinul tau de-acasa, poate sa-ti formeze numarul de telefon fix si telefonul tau va suna,

because it's got everything in the box.

deoarece are tot ce-i trebuie in cutie.

They've got every feature known to man in there,

Au toate caracteristicile cunoscute inauntru,

because adding a new feature is just software.

pentru ca adaugarea unei noi caracteristici nu este decat o chestiune de software.

And as a result of Voice Over IP --

Ca urmare a serviciului Voice Over IP (voce transmisa prin IP)

I hate that term -- Voice Over Internet --

urasc termenul acesta - Voce prin Internet -

land-line home-phone service has gone down 30 percent in the last three years.

serviciul de telefonie fixa a scazut cu 30% in ultimii 3 ani.

I mean, no self-respecting college kid has home phone service anymore.

Ca sa ma-ntelegeti, niciun tanar student ce se respecta nu mai are serviciul de telefonie fixa acasa.

This is what college kids are more likely to have. It's the most popular

Asta este ceea ce tinerii stundenti este cel mai probabil sa aiba. Este cel mai popular

VOIP service in the world: It's Skype.

serviciu VOIP din lume, Skype.

It's a free program you download for your Mac or PC,

Este un program gratuit pe care-l descarci pe computerul tau Mac sau PC,

and you make free phone calls anywhere in the world

si poti sa faci convorbirri telefonice gratuite oriunde in lume

The downside is that you have to wear a headset like a nerd.

Partea neplacuta este ca trebuie sa porti un set de casti ca un tocilar.

It's not your phone -- it's your computer.

Nu este telefonul tau - este computerul tau.

But nonetheless, if you're a college kid and you have no money,

Dar cu toate acestea, daca esti un tanar student si nu ai bani,

believe me, this is better than trying to use your cell phone.

credeti-ma, este mai bine decat sa-ti folosesti telefonul mobil.

It's really cute seeing middle-aged people

Este chiar nostim sa vezi oameni de varsta medie

like me, try out Skype for the first time,

ca mine, incercand Skype pentru prima oara,

which is usually when their kid goes away for a semester abroad.

lucru care de obicei se intampla atunci cand copilul lor pleaca in strainatate pentru un semestru.

They don't want to pay the international fees,

Ei nu doresc sa plateasca tarifele internationale,

so they're like, "Timmy! Is that you?"

si arata cam asa: Timmy! Tu esti?"

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

It's really cute.

Este chiar amuzant.

But I -- at least it was when I did it --

Sau cel putin era cand am facut-o eu.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

I think where VOIP is really going to get interesting

Cred ca unde VOIP devine cu adevarat interesant

is when they start putting it on cell phones.

este atunci cand incep sa-l puna pe telefoanele mobile.

Imagine if you had an ordinary cell phone,

Imaginati-va ca aveti un telefon mobil obisnuit,

and any time you were in a wireless hotspot --

si de fiecare data cand sunteti intr-un loc cu receptie wireless -

free calls anywhere in the world,

apelati gratuit oriunde in lume,

never pay the cellular company a nickel.

neplatind companiei de telefonie mobila niciun banut.

It'd be really, really cool -- and yet,

Ar fi foarte foarte frumos, si totusi,

even though the technology for this has been available

chiar daca tehnologia pentru acest lucru este disponibila

for five years, incredibly,

de cinci ani, incredibil,

the number of standard cell phones

numarul de telefoane mobile standard

offered by US carriers with free VOIP

oferite de companiile americane de telefonie mobila cu VOIP gratuit

is zero!

este ZERO !

I can't figure out why!

Nu pot sa-mi dau seama de ce!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Actually, I need to update that. There's one now.

De fapt, trebuie sa actualizez acest lucru. Exista unul acum.

And it's so interesting that I thought I would tell you about it.

Si este atat de interesant incat m-am gandit sa va spun si voua despre asta.

It comes from T-Mobile.

Vine de la T-Mobile.

And I am not paid by T-Mobile.

Nu sunt platit de T-Mobile.

I'm not plugging T-Mobile.

Nu fac publicitate pentru T-Mobile.

The New York Times has very rigid policies about that.

New York Times are politici foarte stricte cu privire la acest lucru.

Ever since that Jayson Blair jerk ruined it for all of us.

Si asta de cand acel cretin Jayson Blair a stricat totul.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Basically, the reason you haven't heard about this program

In esenta, motivul pentru care nu ati auzit de acest program

is because it was introduced last year

este pentru ca a fost lansat anul trecut

on June 29.

pe 29 iunie.

Does anyone remember what else happened on June 29 last year?

Isi aminteste cineva ce altceva s-a mai intamplat anul trecut pe 29 iunie?

It was the iPhone. The iPhone came out that day.

A fost IPhone-ul. IPhone-ul a fost lansat in acea zi.

I'm like, can you imagine being the

Vreau sa spun, va puteti imagina in locul

T-Mobile PR lady? You know?

responsabilei cu PR-ul de la T-Mobile?

"Hi, we have an announcement to -- WAH!!!"

"Buna ziua, avem un anunt - AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

But it's actually really, really cool. You have a choice of phones,

De fapt este foarte, foarte interesant. Puteti alege un telefon,

and we're not talking smartphones --

si nu vorbim despre telefoanele inteligente -

ordinary phones, including a Blackberry, that have Wi-Fi.

telefoane obisnuite, inclusiv un Blackberry, care au Wi-Fi.

The deal is, any time you're in a Wi-Fi hotspot,

Avantajul este ca oricand te afli intr-un loc cu retea Wi-Fi,

all your calls are free.

toate apelurile tale sunt gratuite.

And when you're out of the hotspot, you're on the regular cellular network.

Si cand esti in afara unui astfel de loc, apelurile trec in reteaua normala de telefonie mobila.

You're thinking, "Well, how often am I in a hotspot?"

Acum te gandesti, "Ei bine, cat de des ma aflu intr-un loc cu retea Wi-Fi?"

The answer is, "All the time!"

Raspunsul este: "Tot timpul!"

Because they give you

Si asta pentru ca vi se da

a regular wireless router that works with the phone,

un router wireless obisnuit care functioneaza impreuna cu telefonul,

for your house.

pentru acasa.

Which is really ingenious, because we all know that

Ceea ce este de-a dreptul ingenios, deoarece cu totii stim ca

T-Mobile is the most pathetic carrier.

T-Mobile este cea mai slaba companie de telefonie mobila.

They have coverage like the size of my thumbnail.

Au acoperire de marimea degetului meu mare.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

But it's a hundred million dollars to put up one of those towers. Right?

Dar costa o suta de milioane de dolari sa construiesti unul dintre acele relee. Nu-i asa?

They don't have that kind of money. Instead they give each of us

Ei nu au atatia bani. In schimb ne dau fiecaruia dintre noi

a seven-dollar-and-95-cent box. They're like a stealth tower installation program.

cate o cutie de 7,95 dolari. Sunt ca un program secret de instalare a unui releu.

We're putting it in our homes for them!

Noi le punem in casele noastre pentru ei!

Anyway, they have Wi-Fi phones in Europe.

Oricum, au telefoane Wi-Fi in Europa.

But the thing that T-Mobile did that nobody's done before

Dar ceea ce T-Mobile a facut inaintea tuturor

is, when you're on a call an you move from Wi-Fi into cellular range,

este ca atunci cand ai o convorbire inceputa in Wi-Fi si continuata in reteaua de telefonie mobila,

the call is handed off in mid-syllable,

transferul se face in timpul convorbirii,

seamlessly. I'll show you the advanced technologies

fara sa-ti dai seama. Va voi arata tehnologiile avansate

we use at the New York Times to test this gear.

pe care le folosim la New York Times in scopul de a testa acest mecanism.

This is me with a camcorder on a phone

Acesta sunt eu cu o camera video pozitionata pe telefon

going like this.

miscandu-ma asa.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

As I walk out of the house from my Wi-Fi hotspot

In timp ce ieseam afara din casa, din reteaua Wi-Fi,

into the cellular network on a call with my wife --

in reteaua de telefonie mobila in timpul unei convorbiri cu sotia mea -

look at the upper left. That's the Wi-Fi signal.

uitati-va in stanga sus. Acela este semnalul Wi-Fi.

(Video): Jennifer Pogue: Hello?

(Video) Jennifer Pogue. Buna

David Pogue: Hi babes, it's me.

David Pogue: Buna iubito, sunt eu.

JP: Oh, hi darling, how are you?

JP: O, buna dragule, ce mai faci?

DP: You're on Wi-Fi. How does it sound?

DP: Esti pe retea Wi-Fi. Cum se aude?

JP: Oh, it sounds pretty good.

JP: Se aude foarte bine.

Now, I'm leaving the house. DP: I'm going for a walk -- do you mind?

DP: Acum, ies din casa. O sa fac o plimbare - te deranjeaza?

JP: No not at all. I'm having a great day with the kids.

JP: Nu, deloc. Am o zi foarte frumoasa impreuna cu copiii.

DP: What are you guys doing?

DP: Ce faceti?

Right there!

Priviti acolo!

It just changed to the cellular tower in mid-call.

Tocmai ce s-a schimbat pe releul de telefonie mobila in mijlocul convorbirii.

I don't know why my wife says I never listen to her. I don't get that.

Nu inteleg de ce sotia mea spune ca nu o ascult niciodata. Nu pricep asta.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

The bottom line is that the boundaries,

Concluzia este ca frontierele

because of the Internet plus cell phone, are melting.

dintre internet si telefoanele mobile incep sa dispara.

The cool thing about the T-Mobile phones

Chestia frumoasa si interesanta la telefoanele T-Mobile

is that although switching technologies is very advanced,

este ca desi tehnologia de schimbare a retelelor este foarte avansata,

the billing technology has not caught up.

tehnologia de facturare nu a tinut pasul.

So what I mean is that you can start a call

Ce vreau sa spun este ca atunci cand incepi o convorbire

in your house in the Wi-Fi hotspot,

acasa, in reteaua Wi-Fi,

you can get in your car and talk until the battery's dead --

poti sa te urci in masina si sa vorbesti pana ti se termina bateria -

which would be like 10 minutes --

ceea ce ar fi cam in 10 minute --

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

And the call will continue to be free.

si convorbirea va continua sa fie gratuita.

Because they don't, they haven't --

Pentru ca ei nu ..., nu au -

well, no, wait! Not so fast.

ei bine, stati! Nu asa de repede.

It also works the other way.

Asta functioneaza si in sens invers.

So if you start a call on your cellular network

Daca incepi o convorbire in reteaua de telefonie mobila

and you come home, you keep being billed.

si ajungi acasa, vei fi facturat in continuare.

Which is why most people with this service

Acesta este motivul pentru care majoritatea celor care au acest serviciu

get into the habit of saying,

ajung sa spuna,

"Hey, I just got home. Can I call you right back?"

"Hei, tocmai ce am ajuns acasa. Pot sa te sun eu imediat?"

Now you get it.

Acum ati prins ideea.

It's also true that if you use one of these phones overseas,

Este de asemenea adevarat ca daca folosesti un astfel de telefon in strainatate,

it doesn't know what Internet hotspot you're in.

nu se stie in ce punct de acces la o retea Wi-Fi te afli.

On the Internet nobody knows you're a dog,

In Internet nimeni nu stie ce sau cine esti.

right? Nobody knows you're in Pakistan.

Nu-i asa? Nimeni nu stie ca tu esti in Pakistan.

You can make free unlimited calls

Poti sa apelezi gratuit oricat doresti

home to the US with these phones. So, very, very interesting.

acasa in Statele Unite cu astfel de telefoane. Deci, foarte, foarte interesant.

This is another favorite of mine.

Urmatorul truc este tot unul dintre favoritele mele.

Does anyone here have a working cell phone

Are cineva de-aici un telefon mobil functional

that's on, with coverage, who can make a call right now without a lot of fussing?

cu acoperire, care poate sa apeleze chiar acum, fara prea mare deranj?

OK. Would you call me please right now? [Phone number given.]

OK. Ma puteti suna acum, va rog?

And don't you all call me at three a.m. asking me to fix your printer.

Si va rog sa nu ma sunati la 3 a.m. rugandu-ma sa va repar imprimanta.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

I have two cell phones, so this going to be very odd, if it works.

Am doua telefoane mobile, deci va fi foarte ciudat, daca o sa functioneze.

I should know not to do technology demos

Ar trebui sa stiu ca nu trebuie sa fac demonstratii tehnice

in front of an audience. It's just, like, absurd.

in fata unei audiente. Este cumva absurd.

This one is going off. And -- oh, I have the ringer off. Tsh! Great.

Acesta a pornit. Si... oh, am soneria oprita. Minunat!

Anyway, this one is also going off. So they're both ringing at the same time.

Oricum, si acesta a pornit. Asadar amandoua suna in acelasi timp.

Excuse me one second.

Scuzati-ma o secunda.

Hello?

Alo!

Oh. Where are you calling from?

Oh. De unde ma sunati?

No, no just kidding. There he is. Thank you very much for doing that.

Nu, am glumit. Uite-l. Multumesc foarte mult .

I didn't even know it was you -- I was looking at this guy.

Nici macar nu stiam ca esti tu. Ma uitam la tipul de aici.

Oh great! Yeah. Yeah you can all stop calling now!

Minunat! Da, da, puteti acum sa va opriti toti din sunat!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

All right! We've made the point.

In regula! Ne-am atins scopul.

All right. Ringer off. Everyone wants in on the action.

In regula. Sonerie oprita. Toata lumea vrea sa fie in mijlocul actiunii.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

So this is Grand Central at work -- it's a --

Asta este Grand Central in timpul lucrului - este -

oh, for gods sake!

oh, pentru numele lui Dumnezeu!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

I have your numbers now!

Acum am numerele voastre de telefon!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

You will pay.

Veti plati pentru asta.

Grand Central is this really brilliant idea

Grand Central este intr-adevar o idee geniala

where they give you a new phone number,

unde ti se da un numar nou de telefon,

and then at that point one phone number rings all your phones at once.

si apoi, din acel moment apelandu-se acel numar vor suna in acelasi timp toate telefoanele tale.

Your home phone, your work phone, your cell phone, your yacht phone

Telefonul de-acasa, de la birou, mobilul personal, telefonul de pe iaht.

(this is the EG crowd).

Acesta este grupul EG.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

The beauty of that is you never miss a call.

Frumusetea acestui lucru este ca nu vei pierde niciun apel.

I know a lot of you are like,

Stiu cum sunteti majoritatea dintre voi,

"Ooh, I don't want to be reached at any hour."

"Oh, n-am chef sa fiu deranjat la orice ora."

But the beauty is it's all going through the internet,

Dar frumusetea este ca toate trec prin Internet,

so you get all of these really cool features --

deci veti putea obtine toate aceste caracteristici cu adevarat minunate -

like you can say, I want these people to be able to call me only during these hours.

de exemplu, vreau ca aceste persoane sa poata sa ma sune doar intre aceste ore.

And I want these people to hear this greeting,

Si veau ca aceste persoane sa auda urmatorul mesaj de intampinare,

"Hi boss, I'm out making us both some money. Leave a message."

Salut sefu', sunt pe teren facand bani pentru amandoi. Lasa un mesaj.."

And then your wife calls, and, "Hi honey, leave me a message."

Si apoi suna sotia ta, si, "Buna iubito, lasa-mi un mesaj."

Very, very customizable.

Foarte personificabil.

Google bought it, and they've been working on it for a year.

Google l-a cumparat, si lucreaza la el de un an.

They're supposed to come out with it very shortly in a public method.

Se presupune ca vor iesi cu el pe piata in foarte scurt timp.

By the way, this is something that really bothers me.

Apropo, iata ceva care chiar ma deranjeaza

I don't know if you realize this. When you call 411 on your cell phone,

Nu stiu daca va dati seama. Atunci cand suni la 411 de pe telefonul mobil,

they charge you two bucks.

te taxeaza cu doi dolari.

Did you know that? It's an outrage.

Stiati asta? Este scandalos.

I actually got a photograph of the Verizon employee right there.

De fapt am aici o fotografie cu un angajat al companiei Verizon.

I'm going to tell you how to avoid that now.

Si am sa va spun acum cum sa evitati asta.

What you're going to use is Google Cellular.

Ceea ce urmeaza sa folositi este Google Cellular.

It's totally free -- there's not even ads.

Este absolut gratuit - nu sunt nici macar reclame.

If you know how to send a text message, you can get the same information for free.

Daca stiti cum sa trimiteti un mesaj text, puteti obtine aceeasi informatie gratis.

I'm about to change your life. So here's me doing it.

Sunt pe cale de a va schimba viata. Deci iata-ma facand-o.

You send a text message to the word "Google,"

Trimiteti un sms catre "Google".

which turns out to be 46645.

care se dovedeste a fi 46645

Leave off the last "e" for savings.

Lasati deoparte ultimul "e" pentru economie.

Anyway, so lets say you need a drugstore near Chicago.

Sa presupunem ca aveti nevoie de o farmacie aproape de Chicago.

You type "pharmacy Chicago," or the zip code.

Scrieti "pharmacy Chicago", sau codul postal.

You hit send, and in five seconds,

Trimiti si in 5 secunde,

they will send you back the two closest drugstores,

iti vor trimite inapoi doua dintre cele mai apropiate farmacii,

complete with name address and phone number.

continand denumirea, adresa si numarul de telefon.

Here it comes.

Uitati-va.

And it's already written down -- so, like, if you're driving,

Si este totul deja scris - deci, sa presupunem ca sunteti la volan,

you don't have to do one of these things, "Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh."

nu trebuie sa faceti asa: "Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh."

It works with weather, too.

Functioneaza la fel si cu starea vremii

You can say "Weather," and the name of the city you're going to travel to.

Poti sa scrii "weather" si numele orasului in care urmeaza sa calatoresti.

And then in five seconds, they send you back

Si in 5 secunde, vei primi

the complete weather forecast for that town.

prognoza meteo completa pentru acel oras.

Shortly I'll tell you why I was in Milan.

Pe scurt, o sa va spun de ce am fost la Milano.

Here we go. And those are just the beginning.

Sa-i dam drumul. Si asta-i doar inceputul.

These are all the different things that you can text to Google and they will --

Acestea sunt diferitele lucruri pe care poti sa le trimiti catre Google, iar ei vor -

yeah! You're all trying to write this down.

da! Vad ca incercati acum toti sa scrieti asta.

That's cute. I do have an email address. You can just ask me.

Ce dragut. Am o adresa de email. Puteti sa ma intrebati.

It's absolutely phenomenal. The only downside

Este absolut fenomenal. Singura parte negativa

is that it requires you to know how to text --

este aceea ca este obligatoriu sa stiti sa scrieti un mesaj -

send a text message. Nobody over 40 knows how to do that.

sa trimiteti un mesaj text. Nimeni peste 40 de ani nu stie sa faca asta.

So I'm going to teach you something even better.

Asa ca am sa va invat ceva chiar mai bun.

This is called Google Info.

Se numeste Google Info.

They've just launched this voice-activated version of the same thing.

Tocmai ce au lansat versiunea activata vocal a aceluiasi lucru.

It's speech recognition like you've never heard before.

Este o recunoastere a vocii cum inca nu ati mai auzit vreodata.

So lets say I'm in Monterey,

Sa spunem ca sunt in Monterey,

and I want what?

si vreau ce?

I want to find what? Bagels. OK.

Ce vreau sa gasesc? Chifle. OK.

Google: Say the business and the city and state.

Google: Spuneti compania, orasul si statul.

DP: Bagels, Monterey, California.

DP: Chifle, Monterey, California.

I got the Chinese line.

Am dat peste linia in chineza.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Google: Bagels, Monterey, California.

Google: Chifle, Monterey, California.

Top eight results: Number one,

Primele 8 rezultate: Numarul 1,

Bagel Bakery on El Dorado Street.

Brutaria Chifle pe strada El Dorado.

To select number one, you can press one or say "number one."

Pentru a selecta numarul 1, poti sa apesi 1 sau sa spui "number one".

Number two: Bagel Bakery, commissary department.

Numarul 2: Brutaria Chifle, departamentul de aprovizionare.

Number Two. Number Two. Two.

Numarul doi. Numarul doi. Doi.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Why do I listen to people in the audience?

Oare de ce ascult eu de oamenii din public?

Well anyway -- oh! Here we go!

Oricum - sa-ncepem!

Google: ... commissary department on McClellan Avenue, Monterey.

Google...departamentul de aprovizionare de pe bulevardul McClellan, Monterey.

I'll connect you, or say "details," or "go back."

Va voi conecta, sau spuneti "detalii" sau "inapoi".

DP: He's connecting me! He doesn't even tell me the phone number.

DP: Ma conecteaza! Nici macar nu-mi spune numarul de telefon.

He's just connecting me directly. It's like having a personal valet.

Ma conecteaza pur si simplu. Este ca si cum ai avea un valet personal.

Google: Hold on.

Google: Asteptati.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

DP: Hi, could I have 400 with a schmear?

DP: Buna, a-ti putea sa-mi dati 400 cu o mita?

No, no, no -- just kidding, no no.

Nu, nu, nu, nu - am glumit, nu, nu, nu.

So anyway, you never even find out the number.

In orice caz, nici macar nu veti afla numarul.

It's just so amazing.

Este atat de uimitor.

And it has incredible, incredible accuracy.

Si are o acuratete incredibila, incredibila.

This is even more amazing. Put this in your speed dial.

Si iata ceva si mai uimitor. Puneti asta pe apelare rapida.

This you can ask by voice any question.

Puteti intreba vocal orice.

Who won the 1958 World Series?

Cine a castigat campionatul mondial in 1958?

What's the recipe for a certain cocktail?

Care este reteta pentru un anume cocktail?

It's absolutely amazing -- and they text you back the answer.

Este absolut uimitor - si iti vor trimite un sms cu raspunsul.

I tried this this morning just to make sure it's still alive.

Am incercat asta in acesta dimineata doar ca sa ma asigur ca inca functioneaza.

"Which actors have played James Bond?"

Care actor a jucat in rolul lui James Bond?

They text me back this: "Sean Connery,

Si mi-au trimis inapoi prin sms asta: Sean Connery.

George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig."

George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig.

Right! And then I was trying to pretend I was like a Valley girl.

Corect! Si apoi am incercat sa ma prefac ca fiind o fata din Valley.

I'm like, "What's the word that means you know, like,

Cam asa: "Care este cuvantul care inseamna, stiti dvs.

when the sun, the moon and the earth are, like, all in a line?"

cand Soarele, Luna si Pamantul sunt aliniate?"

Just to see how the recognition was.

Doar ca sa vad cum se face recunoasterea.

They texted me back, "It's called a syzygy."

Si mi-au raspuns prin sms: "Se numeste syzygy".

Which I knew, because it's the word that won me the Ohio spelling bee in 1976.

Ceea ce stiam, deoarece este cuvantul care mi-a castigat concursul de silabisire din Ohio in 1976.

You know, there's a lot of people wondering, "How on earth are they going to

Stiti, sunt multi oameni care se intreaba, "Cum Dumnezeu, au de gand sa

make money doing this?" And the answer is: look at the last line.

castige bani din asta?" Si raspunsul este: uitati-va la ultima linie.

They put this teeny-weeny little ad, about 10 characters long.

Au introdus acea minuscula reclama, de aproximativ 10 caractere lungime.

And a lot of people also want to know, "How does it work?

Si o multime de persoane vor de asemenea sa stie, "Cum functioneaza?

How can it be so good? It's as though there is a human being

Cum de poate fi atat de bun? Este la fel de puternic ca si cum ar fi o persoana

on the other end of the line."

la celalalt capat al liniei."

Because there is one!

Deoarece chiar este una!

They have 10,000 people

Au 10.000 de angajati

who are being paid 20 cents per answer.

care sunt platiti cu 20 de centi pentru fiecare raspuns.

As you can imagine, it's college kids and old people.

Asa cum va puteti imagina, sunt tineri studenti si persoane in varsta.

That's who can afford to do that.

Care-si poate permite sa faca asta.

But it's a human being on the line. And it's gotten me out of so many

Dar este o persoana pe linie. Si care ma scoate din incurcatura cu atat de multe

tough positions like, "When's the last flight out of Chicago?"

lucruri dificile ca, "Cind este ultimul zbor din Chicago?"

You know. It's just absolutely amazing.

Este absolut uimitor.

Another thing that really bothers me about cell phones today --

Un alt lucru care ma deranjeaza zilele acestea referitor la telefoanele mobile -

this is probably my biggest pet peeve in all of technology.

este probabil cea mai mare ocazie de reclamatii din toate tehnologiile.

When I call to leave you a message,

Cand sun sa las un mesaj,

I get 15 seconds of instructions

primesc 15 secunde de instructiuni

from a third-grade teacher on Ambien!

de la un profesor de clasa a treia care a luat somnifer!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

"To page this person ... "

"Pentru a apela pe pager aceasta persoana...."

Page? What is this, 1975?

Pe pager? Ce mai este si asta, suntem in 1975?

Nobody has pagers anymore.

Nimeni nu mai foloseste pagerul acum.

"You may begin speaking at the tone.

"Puteti incepe sa vorbiti dupa ton.

When you have finished recording,

Cand ati terminat de inregistrat,

you may hang up." No!

puteti inchide." Nu!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

And then it gets worse:

Si apoi se inrautateste.

when I call to retrieve my messages,

cand sun sa-mi ascult mesajele,

first of all: "You have 87 messages.

in primul rand: "Aveti 87 de mesaje.

To listen to your messages ... "

Ca sa va ascultati mesajele...."

Why else am I calling?

De ce oare am sunat?

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Of course I want to listen to the messages!

Bineinteles ca vreau sa-mi ascult mesajele!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Oh! You all have cell phones too.

Aha! Aveti toti telefoane mobile.

So last year I went to Milan, Italy,

Deci anul trecut am fost la Milano, Italia,

and I got to speak to an audience

si am vorbit unei audiente

of cellular executives from 200 countries around the world.

de directori de la firme de telefonie mobila din peste 200 de tari.

And I said as a joke -- as a joke, I said,

Si am spus ca pe o gluma - ca o gluma, am spus,

"I did the math. Verizon has 70 million customers.

Am calculat, Verizon are 70 milioane de clienti.

If you check your voicemail twice a day,

Daca fiecare isi verifica mesajele de doua ori pe zi,

that's 100 million dollars a year.

asta inseamna 100 milioane de dolari pe an.

I bet you guys are doing this just to run up our airtime, aren't you?"

Pariez ca faceti asta doar ca sa ne cresteti timpul in retea, nu-i asa?"

No chuckle. They're like this --

Nu radeti. Asa stau lucrurile -

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Where is the outrage, people? Rise up!

Unde este furia, oameni buni? Revoltati-va!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Sorry. I'm not bitter.

Imi pare rau, nu sunt inversunat.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

So now I'm going to tell you how to get out of that.

Ei bine, acum am sa va invat cum sa scapati de asta.

There are these services that transcribe

Exista anumite servciii care transcriu

your voicemail into text.

casuta dumneavoastra vocala in text.

And they send it either to your email

Si pot sa ti-o trimita fie la adresa de email

or as text messages to your phone.

fie ca mesaj text catre telefonul dumneavoastra.

It is a life-changer.

Este o chestie care schimba viata.

And by the way, they don't always get the words right,

Si apropo, nu inteleg intotdeauna cuvintele corect,

because it's over the phone and all that.

deoarece sunt prin telefon s.a.m.d.

So they attach the audio file at the bottom of the email

Asa ca ataseaza fisierul audio la sfarsitul email-ului

so you can listen to double-check.

astfel incat il poti asculta pentru verificare.

The services are called things like Spinvox,

Serviciile au denumiri ca Spinvox,

Phonetag -- this is the one I use --

Phonetag - acesta este cel pe care-l utilizez eu -

Callwave. A lot of people say, "How are they doing this?

Callwave. Multi spun: "Oare cum fac asta?

I don't really want people listening in to my calls."

Chiar nu vreau ca cineva sa-mi asculte convorbirile."

The executives at these companies told me,

Directorii acestor companii mi-au spus,

"Well we use a proprietary B-to-B, best-of-breed, peer-to-peer soluti -- " you know.

"Ei bine, folosim solutii certificate de tip B-to-B, best-of-breed, peer-to-peer - "

I think basically it's like these guys in India with headsets, you know, listening in.

Cred practic ca seamana cu acei tipi din India cu casti, ii stiti, care asculta.

The reason I think that is that

Motivul pentru care cred asta este ca

on the first day I tried one of these services,

in prima zi in care am incercat unul dintre aceste servicii,

I got two voicemail messages. One was from a guy named Michael Stevenson,

am primit doua mesaje vocale. Unul era de la un tip Michael Stevenson,

which shouldn't be that hard to transcribe, and it was misspelled.

care n-ar fi trebuit sa fie asa greu de transcris, si era scris gresit.

The other was from my video producer at the Times, whose name is Vijaiy Singh,

Celalalt era de la producatorul meu video de la Times, al carui nume este Vijaiy

with the silent 'h'. Nailed that one.

cu "h" mut. Pe acesta l-au nimerit

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

So you be the judge.

Judecati voi.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Anyway, this service, Callwave, promises

Oricum, acest serviciu, Callwave, promite

that it's all software -- nobody is listening to your messages.

ca totul este numai software - nimeni nu-ti asculta mesajele.

And they also promise that they're going to transcribe only the gist

Si de asemenea promit ca vor transcrie doar esenta

of your messages.

mesajelor tale.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

So I thought I'd see how that goes.

Am crezut ca am inteles cum functioneaza.

This is me testing it out.

Asta sunt eu in timpul testarii.

(Video): Hello, this is Michael.

(Video): Buna ziua, Michael sunt

Hope you're doing well. I'm fine here. Everything's good.

Sper ca esti bine. Eu unul sunt. Totul este in regula.

Hey, I was walking along the street and the sky was blue.

Hei, mergeam pe strada si cerul era albastru.

And your daughter broke her leg at soccer practice.

Si fiica ta si-a rupt piciorul la antrenamentul de fotbal.

I'm going to have a sandwich for lunch.

O sa-mi iau un sandwich pentru pranz.

She's in room -- emergency room 53W.

Ea este in camera - de urgenta 53W.

OK, talk to you later -- bye.

Ok, vorbim mai tarziu - pa.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

I love my job.

Imi iubesc job-ul.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

So a couple minutes later, this I got by email.

Cateva minute mai tarziu, am primit asta prin email.

It's a very good transcription. But a couple minutes after that,

Este o transcriere foarte buna. Dar dupa alte cateva minute,

I got the text message version. Now remember,

am primit versiunea sms. Acum aduceti-va aminte,

a text message can only be 160 characters long.

un mesaj text poate avea maxim 160 de caractere.

So it had better be the gist of the gist, right?

Ar fi fost bine sa fi fost esenta esentei, nu-i asa?

I'm not kidding you. The message said,

Nu glumesc. Mesajul spunea,

"Was walking along the street" and "sky was blue" and "emergency"!

"Mergeam pe strada" si "cerul era albastru" si "urgenta"!

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

What the f -- ?

Ce dra...?

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Well I guess that was the gist.

Presupun ca asta a fost esenta.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

And lastly, I just have to talk about this one.

In cele din urma, trebuie sa vorbesc si despre asta.

This is my favorite of all time. It's called Popularitydialer.com.

Este favorita mea din toate timpurile. Se numeste Popularitydialer.com.

Basically, you're going to go on some

In principiu, esti pe cale sa mergi la o

iffy date, or a potentially bad meeting.

intalnire amoroasa nesigura, sau o posibila intalnire nereusita.

So you go and you type in your phone number,

Deci mergi si scrii numarul tau de telefon,

and at the exact minute where you want to be called --

si exact in minutul in care vrei sa fi sunat.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

And at that moment your phone will ring.

Si chiar in acel moment telefonul iti va suna.

And you're like, "I'm sorry. I've got to take this."

Si spui cam asa: "Imi pare ra, trebuie sa raspund la asta."

The really beautiful thing is,

Chestia cu adevarat frumoasa este ca

you know how when somebody's sitting next to you, sometimes they can sort of

stii, cand cineva sta langa tine, uneori poate

hear a little bit of the caller.

sa-ti auda cate ceva de la cel care te suna.

So they give you a choice

Deci ti se da de ales

of what you want to hear on the other end.

ce vrei sa se auda de la capatul celalalt.

Here's the girlfriend.

Acum este iubita ta.

Phone: Hey you, what's going on?

Telefon: Hei, ce se intampla?

DP: I'm kinda, like, giving a talk right now.

DP: Sunt in mijlocul unui discurs acum.

Phone: Well, that's good.

Telefon: Asta-i bine.

DP: What are you doing?

DP: Ce faci?

Phone: I was just wondering what you were up to.

Telefon: Ma intrebam ce pui la cale.

DP: Right, I can't really talk right now.

DP: Chiar nu pot sa vorbesc in acest moment.

This is the -- I love this -- the boss call.

Asta este - imi place asta la nebunie - apelul de la sef.

Phone: Hey, this is Mr. Johnson calling from the office.

Telefon: Buna, sunt Dl. Johnson si te sun de la birou.

DP: Oh, hi, sir.

DP: Oh, buna ziua domnule.

Phone: Did you complete that thing about a month ago? That photocopier training?

Telefon: Ai rezolvat treaba aia de acum o luna? Instruirea pentru fotocopiator?

DP: Oh -- sorry I forgot.

DP: Oh - imi pare rau, am uitat.

Phone: Yeah, well so when was the last time you used the photocopier?

Telefon: 'mda, deci cand ai folosit fotocopiatorul ultima data?

DP: It was like three weeks ago.

DP: Cam acum trei saptamani.

Phone: Well, I don't know if you heard, you might have heard from Lenny, but --

Telefon: Ei bine, nu stiu daca ai auzit, poate ai auzit de la Lenny, dar --

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

I think the biggest change when Internet met phone

Cred ca cea mai mare schimbare de cand Internetul s-a intersectat cu telefonia

was with the iPhone.

a fost odata cu iPhone-ul

Not my finest moment in New York Times journalism.

Nu tocmai cel mai bun moment al meu ca jurnalist la New York Times.

It was when in the fall of 2006,

A fost atunci cand in toamna lui 2006

I explained why Apple would never do a cell phone.

am explicat de ce Apple n-o sa faca niciodata un telefon mobil.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

I looked like a moron. However, my logic was good,

Am parut a fi un idiot. Oricum, logica mea a fost buna.

because -- I don't know if you realize this, but -- until the iPhone came along,

Deoarece nu stiu daca voi realizati asta, dar pana sa apara iPhone-ul,

the carriers -- Verizon, AT&T, Cingular --

companiile de telefonie - Verizon, AT&T, Cingular -

held veto power over every aspect

detineau dreptul de veto asupra oricarui aspect

of every design of every phone.

de design la orice telefon.

I know the people who worked on the Treo.

Cunosc o persoana care a lucrat la Treo.

They went around to these carriers and said,

Au mers pe la toate aceste companii si le spuneau,

"Look at these cool features." And Verizon is like, "Hmm, no.

"Uitati-va la aceste caracteristici extraordinare". Iar Verizon spunea doar "Hmmm, nu.

I don't think so."

Nu cred."

It was not very conducive to innovation.

Nu era foarte motivant pentru inovatie.

What I didn't anticipate was that Steve Jobs

Ceea ce nu am anticipat a fost ca Steve Jobs

went around and said, "Tell you what -- I'll give you a five-year exclusive

a mers pe la toti si le-a spus: "Uite ce va propun - va ofer cinci ani de exclusivitate

if you'll let me design this phone in peace --

daca ma veti lasa sa concep acest telefon asa cum vreau eu -

and you won't even see it till it's done."

si nici macar nu-l veti vedea pana nu va fi gata."

Actually, even so, he was turned down by Verizon and others.

De fapt, chiar si asa, a fost refuzat de Verizon si altii.

Finally Cingular said OK.

In final, Cingular a spus OK.

I'm going to talk about the effect of the iPhone.

Voi vorbi acum despre efectul iPhone-ului.

Please don't corner me at the party tonight

Va rog sa nu ma puneti la colt la petrecerea de diseara

and go, "What are you? An Apple fan boy?"

spunand: "Ce esti? Un pusti fan Apple?"

- you know. I'm not.

Ei bine, nu sunt

You can see what I said about it. It's a flawed masterpiece.

Puteti sa vedeti ce am spus despre el. Este o capodopera cu imperfectiuni.

It's got bad things and good things. Lets all acknowledge that right now.

Are atat lucruri rele cat si lucruri bune. Haideti sa le constientizam acum cu totii.

But it did change a few things. The first thing it changed

Dar a schimbat totusi cateva lucruri. Primul lucru pe care l-a schimbat

was that all those carriers saw

a fost, ceea ce toate companiile au remarcat,

that they sold 10 million of these things in a year.

faptul ca au vandut 10 milioane de bucati intr-un an.

And they said, "Oh my gosh, maybe we've been doing it wrong.

si si-au spus: "Dumnezeule, poate nu am procedat cum trebuie.

Maybe we should let phone designers design the phones."

Poate ar trebui sa-i lasam pe designerii de telefoane sa faca telefoane."

(Applause)

(Aplauze)

Another thing was that it let 10 million people,

Un alt lucru a fost ca au permis ca 10 milioane de oameni

for the first time, experience being online all the time.

pentru prima oara, sa traiasca experienta de a fi online tot timpul.

Not using these 60-dollar-a-month

Fara folosirea acelor carduri celulare de 60 de dolari pe luna

cellular cards for their laptops.

pentru laptopurile lor.

I don't understand why we're not there yet.

Nu inteleg de ce noi nu suntem inca la acest nivel.

When I'm an old man, I'm going to tell my grandchildren,

Cand o sa fiu batran, le voi spune nepotilor mei,

"When I was your age, if I wanted to check my email,

"Cand eram de varsta voastra, daca doream sa-mi verific emailul,

I used to drive around town looking for a coffee shop. I did!"

obisnuiam sa colind prin oras cautand o cafenea. Chiar asa faceam."

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

"We had wireless base stations that could

"Aveam puncte de access wireless care putea

broadcast -- yay, about 150 feet across."

emite - da, cam 45 m in jur."

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

It's absurd. We have power outlets

Este absurd. Avem prize de curent electric

in every room of every building. We have running water.

in orice camera din orice cladire. Avem apa potabila.

What's the problem?

Care este problema?

Anyway -- but this teaches people what it's like.

In orice caz - asta invata oamenii cum este in realitate.

You have to go to YouTube

Trebuie sa intrati pe YouTube

and type in "iPhone Shuffle."

si sa tastati "IPhone Shuffle".

This guy did a mock video of one

Acest tip a facut un filmulet ironic despre

that's one inch square, like the real iPod Shuffle.

unul care are 6 cm patrati, ca adevaratul IPod Shuffle.

It's like, "It only has one button.

Este ca: "Are doar un buton.

Touch it and it dials a number at random."

Atinge-l si va forma un numar la intamplare".

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

"Who the hell is this?"

"Cine naiba este asta?"

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

But the other thing it did

Dar celalalt lucru pe care l-a facut

is it opened up this idea of an app store.

a fost sa dea ideea unui magazin de aplicatii.

It downloads right to the phone.

Le descarca direct pe telefon.

And you can use the tilt sensor

Si poti sa folosesti senzorul de inclinatie

to steer this car using this game.

pentru a conduce aceasta masina folosind acest joc.

These programs can use all the components

Aceste programe pot folosi toate componentele

of the iPhone -- the touch screen.

IPhone-ului - ecranul tactil

This is the Etch-A-Sketch program -- the theme of EG 2008.

Acesta este un program Etch-A-Sketch - tema EG 2008.

You know how you erase it?

Stiti cum sa-l stergeti?

Of course. You shake it.

Bineinteles. Il scuturati.

Right, of course. We shake it to erase, like this.

Corect, asa este. Il scuturam pentru a sterge, uite-asa.

They have 10,000 of these programs.

Au 10 mii de astfel de programe.

This is the translator program. They have every language in the world.

Acesta este programul de traducere. Au orice limba din lume.

You type in what you want, and it gives you the translation.

Scrii ce doresti si ti se da traducerea.

This is amazing. This is Midomi.

Uimitor. Acesta este Midomi.

A song is running through your head --

Un cantec iti tot umbla prin minte -

you sing it into the thing:

il canti in aparat:

do do do do do, da da da da da da, da dum ...

do do do do do, da da da da da da da ...

OK, you tap, "Done" and it will find out the song and play it for you.

OK, apesi "Gata" si iti va gasi cantecul si-l va canta pentru tine.

I know. It's insane, right?

Stiu, este o nebunie, nu?

This is Pandora. Free Internet radio. Not just free Internet radio --

Acesta este Pandora. Radio gratuit prin internet. Si nu doar atat -

you type in a band or a song name.

Scrii o formatie sau titlul unei melodii.

It will immediately play you that song or that band.

Si imediat iti va canta acea melodie sau acea formatie.

It has a thumbs-up and a thumbs-down.

Sunt disponibile semne de aprobare si de dezaprobare.

You say if you like this song or not.

Spui daca iti place sau nu aceasta melodie.

If you like it, it tries another song on you

Daca-ti place, incearca pe tine un alt cantec

from a different band, with the same instrumentation, vocals,

al unei alte formatii, cu aceleasi instrumentatie, voci,

theme and tempo.

tema si ritm.

If you like that one, or don't like it,

Daca iti place aceasta sau nu,

you do thumbs-up and thumbs-down. Over time it tailors the songs

aprobi sau dezaprobi. In timp iti va alege cantecele

so that it completely stops playing bad songs.

astfel incat va inceta sa-ti mai redea melodiile care nu-ti plac.

It eventually only plays songs you like.

In final va reda doar cantecele care-ti plac.

This is Urbanspoon. You're in a city. It knows from GPS where you're standing.

Acesta este Urbanspoon. Te afli in oras, stie datorita GPS-ului unde anume esti.

You want to find a place to eat. You shake it.

Vrei sa gasesti un loc unde sa mananci. Il scuturi.

It proposes a restaurant.

Iti propune un restaurant.

It gives you the price, and the location and ratings.

Iti va spune preturile, locatia exacta si aprecierile clientilor.

Video: I'm not going all the way to Flushing.

(Video) Nu o sa merg pana la capat cu Flushing.

Anyway, just amazing, amazing things.

Oricum, uimitor, lucruri uimitoare.

Of course, its not just about the iPhone.

Bineinteles, nu este doar despre IPhone.

The iPhone broke the dyke, the wall.

IPhone-ul a spart gheata, a spart zidul.

But now it's everybody else. So Google has done their own Android operating system

Dar acum sunt toti ceilalti. Asa ca Google si-a lansat propriul sistem de operare android

that will soon be on handsets -- phones from 34 companies.

care in curand va fi pe telefoanele mobile ale 34 de companii.

Touch screen -- very, very nice.

Ecran tactil - foarte, foarte frumos.

Also with its own app store, where you can download programs.

De asemenea, fiecare avand magazinul propriu de aplicatii, de unde poti descarca programe.

This is amazing. In the wake of all this,

Este uimitor. In urma acestor lucruri,

Verizon, the most calcified, corporate,

Verizon, cea mai calcifiata, corporatista,

conservative carrier of all,

si conservatoare companie de telefonie dintre toate,

said, "You can use any phone you want on our network."

a spus: "Puteti folosi ce telefon vreti in reteaua noastra".

I love the Wired headline:

Imi place titlu de la Wired:

Pigs Fly, Hell Freezes Over

Porcii zboara, Iadul ingheata

and Verizon Opens Up Its Network -- No. Really.

iar Verizon si-a deschis reteaua - Nu mai spune.

So everything is changing. We've entered

Deci totul este in schimbare. Am intrat

a new world of innovation, where the cell phone becomes your laptop,

intr-o noua era a inovatiilor, unde telefonul va deveni laptopul tau,

customized the way you want it.

personalizat asa cum vrei tu.

Every cell phone is unique. There is software that you can add on.

Fiecare telefon mobil este unic. Exista software pe care-l poti adauga.

Can I do one more one-minute song? Thank you.

Pot sa pun inca o data un minut dintr-o melodie? Multumesc.

(Applause)

(Aplauze)

Just to round it up -- this is the new Apple Power Music Stand.

Doar ca sa concluzionez - aceasta este noul stand Apple Power Music.

It's only three pounds,

Are doar 1,5 kg

or 12 if you install Microsoft Office.

sau 6 Kg daca instalezi Microsoft Office.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Sorry, that was mean.

Imi cer scuze, am fost rautacios.

This is a song I did for the New York Times website as a music video.

Acesta este un cantec pe care l-am compus pentru website-ul New York Times ca videoclip.

Ladies and gentlemen, for seven blissful hours

Doamnelor si domnilor, pentru 7 ore binecuvantate

it was the number one video on YouTube.

a fost numarul unu pe YouTube.

(To the tune of "My Way")

And now the end is near.

Si acum sfarsitul este aproape.

I'm sick to death

M-am saturat pana peste cap

of this old cell phone.

de acest telefon invechit

Bad sound, the signal's weak,

Sunet prost, semnalul este slab,

the software stinks.

softul este jalnic.

A made-in-Hell phone.

Un telefon fabricat in Iad.

I've heard there's something new --

Am auzit ca exista ceva nou -

a million times more rad than my phone.

de un milion de ori mai impresionant, mai uluitor decat telefonul meu.

I too will join the cult.

Ma voi alatura si eu sectei.

I want an iPhone.

Vreau un iPhone.

Concerns -- I have a few. It's got some flaws;

Ingrijorari - am cateva. Are cateva defecte,

we may just face it.

le facem fata.

No keys, no memory card,

Fara butoane, fara card de memorie,

the battery's sealed --

bateria este sigilata -

you can't replace it.

nu poti sa o inlocuiesti.

But God, this thing is sweet.

Dar pentru Dumnezeu, acest lucru este foarte dragut.

A multitouch, iPod, Wi-Fi phone.

Un multitouch, -Pod, Wi-Fi telefon.

You had me from, "Hello."

M-ai convins de la "Buna ziua"

I want an iPhone.

Vreau un IPhone.

I want to touch its precious screen.

Vreau sa-i ating pretiosul ecran.

I want to wipe the smudges clean.

Vreau sa-i sterg petele.

I want my friends to look and drool.

Vreau ca prieteni sa se uite si sa saliveze.

I want to say, "Look -- now I'm cool"

Vreau sa spun: "Uitati-va - acum sunt cool"

I stood in line and I'll get mine.

Am stat la rand si o sa-l primesc pe al meu.

I want an iPhone.

Vreau un iPhone.

For what is a man?

Pentru ce este un om?

What has he got? If not iPhone,

Ce are el? Daca nu are un iPhone,

then he's got squat.

atunci nu are nimic.

It's all the things a phone should be.

Reprezinta tot ceea ce ar trebui sa fie un telefon.

Who cares if it's AT&T?

Cui ii pasa daca este AT&T?

I took a stand, paid half a grand!

Am luat o decizie, am platit o jumatate de mie!

And I got an iPhone!

Am luat un IPhone!

(Applause)

(Aplauze)

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Multumesc. Multumesc foarte mult.

(Applause)

(Aplauze)
