After the All Things D I made available download the entire interview with Steve Jobs, many fans and enthusiasts have decided to review the old records.
Ole Begemann, a German developer of applications for iOS and OS X, noticed on the record of 2005, where Steve Jobs talks about the file system. I recall at the time was not yet iPhone and iPad. The user does not have to work with photos and music tracks, and directly from the files. The most interesting utterance Jobs:
Each user interface research that we carried out, it turned out that is easy enough to learn how to use those or other things. However, as soon as you encounter a file system, the learning curve is vertical. So you are wondering: why the file system is the face of the OS? Would not it be better if there was another way to find things?
Take a look at e-mail. There was always the best way to find things. You do not store email on your file system, right? The app manages it. It was a real breakthrough, as, for example, in iTunes. You do not keep the music in the file system, it would have been madness. You keep it in a program that knows about music and knows a few different ways to find things. Similarly with photos: we've got an app that knows all about our pictures. These applications manage their own file storage [...]
Over time, the control by the file system will turn into an application for professionals. For ordinary consumers will not need to use it.
In fact, Jobs has described the idea, which then formed the basis of iOS.
