黑莓致歉禮包濫竽充數(shù)

????雖然黑莓的大規(guī)模服務(wù)中斷持續(xù)了數(shù)天,，但RIM高層對(duì)于如何彌補(bǔ)用戶損失一直閃爍其詞,。

????10月17日,，故障最終解決四天之后,，RIM發(fā)布了一份聲明,，稱：“我們非常珍惜和重視與用戶的關(guān)系?！?/p>

????不過,，他們的感激并不是通過現(xiàn)金的方式來表達(dá)。相反,，RIM免費(fèi)為用戶提供了價(jià)值100美元的黑莓手機(jī)應(yīng)用,。列表中包括數(shù)個(gè)“寶石迷陣”（Bejeweled）和“模擬人生3”（Sims 3）等知名的應(yīng)用，但剩下的基本都是“Vingo Plus”和“泡泡龍2”這樣的貨色,。

????刻薄的說法是：黑莓的應(yīng)用生態(tài)系統(tǒng)非常貧乏,，放開手腳買，也花不了100美元,。

????《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》（New York Times）報(bào)道稱,，如果用戶選擇20美元的DriveSafe.ly，而不是80美元的企業(yè)版，那么黑莓提供的清單中,，其他應(yīng)用加起來也才不過76美元——朱利安?波比頓

BlackBerry 'apologizes' with crappy apps

????As BlackBerry's massive outage stretched on for days, Research in Motion execs dodged several questions about make-good efforts for customers.

????On October 17, four days after the lengthy crash was finally resolved, RIM released a statement saying "we truly appreciate and value our relationship with our customers."

????But that appreciation didn't come in the form of cash. Instead, RIM offered its customers $100 worth of BlackBerry apps for free. The list featured a few well-known apps like Bejeweled and Sims 3, but the rest were the likes of "Vlingo Plus" and "Bubble Bash 2."

????Here's the kicker: BlackBerry's app ecosystem is so barren that it's almost impossible to spend $100 buying them.

????As the New York Times pointed out, if customers opted for the $20 version of an app called DriveSafe.ly -- instead of the $80 enterprise version -- and then bought every other app on BlackBerry's list, that would add up to only $76. -- Julianne Pepitone
