2010 Audi S5 Sportback 3.0 TFSI quattro : 貓貓在線【汽車生活網站】

既有四門跑房車的高性能與實用性，亦有兩門轎跑 車的嬝娜肌理；具備雙重性格的全新S5 Sportback，其身懷的「變性」機關就更加引人入勝。

在奧迪車系之中，5系是擁有最多家族成員，當中包括A5至S5合共13款不同配搭的車型，每輛都具備獨當一面的個性。

以同屬五門掀背的A5 Sportback作為基礎，換上一副能輸出333bhp的3.0公升V6機械增壓引擎及quattro四驅系統之後，便搖身一變成為這輛全新S5 Sportback 3.0 TFSI Quattro。車身與車廂佈置大致與A5 Sportback相同，而為了突出其S系血統，車頭、車尾、儀表板及軚盤均貼上S5標記。

既有轎跑車的身段，又有跑房車實用性的S5 Sportback，其動力心臟採用了與全新S4一樣的3.0公升V6引擎。軚盤轉檔系統配合順暢無比的7前速S-Tronic波箱，本來已是一個舒適與 操控樂趣兼備的組合，然而原廠今次還導入一套「變性」機關，讓她在彈指之間奏出不同的性格。

一般自動波所附設的Sport mode，都是把引擎提升到更高的轉數才自行換檔，但這類裝置，一般可在設換到手動換檔時，由駕駛人自行把轉數提升才進行換檔。然而，所謂的「變性」機 關，即是設有Comfort、Auto及Dynamic三種模式的Audi Drive Select，系統除了可因應駕駛人的選擇而改變油門的反應之外，懸掛硬度、轉向幅度及差速亦會作出相應調節。

在三種駕駛模式中，以Comfort的性格最為溫純，除了具備較低的油門敏感度與低耗油量的特性之外，懸掛設定亦偏向舒適，整體感覺有如A5 Sportback。若追求激進的操控模式，可按下Dynamic，這時油門的敏感度便會瞬間提高，軚盤變重，而懸掛亦相對變硬；在這種操控模式下，S5 Sportback就有如尋回自己的真我個性，把轎跑車的激情個性表露無遺。

同樣是四座位設定的S5 Sportback跟A5相比，在動力輸出上明顯較為優勝；而與S5比較，其四門設定則為進出後座的乘客帶來方便。雖然S5 Sportback的車廂陳設不算豪華，但勝在設備齊全，並兼容房車與轎跑車的個性，是一輛實用與性能俱備的四門掀背車。

iPod touch gets revamped: retina display, FaceTime, HD video recording

iPod touch gets revamped: retina display, FaceTime, HD video recording: "

Current iPod touch wasn't thin enough for you? Look no further than... well, the new iPod touch just announced today. Naturally, Apple has re-upped its 'iPhone without the phone' to include the Retina Display from the iPhone 4, an Apple A4 core, 3-axis gyroscope, Game Center, and FaceTime support thanks to the addition of a front cam. Oh, and speaking of cams, it's also got a rear cam capable of HD video -- but you'll be paying a bit more than you will for that cute little nano: $229 for 8GB, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for 64GB (yep, 16GB and 128GB are both no-shows). Ships next week, pre-orders start today; follow the break for the full press release.

The new Apple TV for $99

The new Apple TV for $99: "

Steve Jobs just pulled out the world famous 'one more thing' for nothing other than... a new Apple TV. It's now a streaming-focused device (as we predicted months ago) in a small matte black enclosure we're calling 'the hockey puck.' It has HDMI, Ethernet, optical audio, and USB plugs around back, and of course 802.11n for the cable-averse. Inside there ain't much -- there's no local storage, which makes this thing an entirely different beast than old Apple TVs, relying entirely on the 'cloud' for content. Those new streaming HD TV rentals from ABC and Fox will be a mere 99 cents, while first run HD movies will be a less thrilling $4.99. Other services include Netflix, YouTube, Flickr, and Mobile Me, along with Rotten Tomatoes integration in the movie catalog. You can also stream from your computer, if you miss those old hard drive-sourced days of yore, but iOS 4.2's AirPlay also enables streaming from an iPad straight to an Apple TV for something much more surreal. The best news? Apple will start shipping this sucker four weeks from now for $99.



Update: We just got confirmation from Apple that the new Apple TV will be streaming 720p video only (no big surprise there), and that existing Apple TVs won't be getting an upgrade to the new cloud-based software (again, not a shocker).



Update 2: Can't imagine life without a 160GB hard drive? The original Apple TV is still on sale at the Apple Store for $149. [Thanks, Josh]

Confirmed: the iPod Classic is alive and well

Confirmed: the iPod Classic is alive and well: "

If you were afraid that the iPod Classic may have bit the dust at today's music event, well, rest assured, it's still alive. While we awaited word on just that question from Apple, our good friend Michael Gartenberg confirmed with the company that it lives on to see another day.. and a beautiful performance by Chris Martin.

iPod nano (2010) first hands-on! (update: video!)

iPod nano (2010) first hands-on! (update: video!): "

Here it is, the new (and completely redesigned) iPod nano. Super thin, super light, and really, the capacitive multitouch works very well. The screen is crisp and top menu navigation is smooth, but can't say we have great feel for moving back out of sub menus (via swipe or holding down the screen). We're going back for seconds and thirds, peep the initial gallery below!



Update: Okay, we've gotten much more quality time with the nano, and we'll admit that after some brief practice, the menu navigation is nice both going in and out of menus -- holding the middle will take some getting used to, if only because you gotta avoid any other on-screen items that beckon for your digits. Probably due to the small size of the screen, there is no pinch-to-zoom for photos. Instead, we're using a simple double-tap motion to a fixed zoom in / zoom out distance.



The clock app has a very easy-to-read analog style to it, and swiping across the screen will give you a stopwatch and timer. There is no alarm clock, however, which as the Apple rep explained to us was a design decision given its lack of an external speaker. Bummer, as it's the perfect size to strap on a band and use as a wristwatch -- a fitting thought, too, given one of the settings will let us see the time every time we wake up the screen. Check out our video tour after the break.

Windows Phone 7 goes gold master, begins rolling out to partners for final launch preparations

Windows Phone 7 goes gold master, begins rolling out to partners for final launch preparations: "

If you've been holding yourself back during these early rounds of the smartphone wars in anticipation of Windows Phone 7, your wait just got a tiny bit shorter. Today Microsoft is announcing that its fancy new mobile operating system has been released to manufacturing, making the idea of you holding an actual WP7 device in your hands that much closer to reality. The finished product is now rolling out to partners around the world where it will be getting carrier and manufacturer tweaks and additions, and going through the kind of pre-launch testing you would expect for a release of this scale. If you had any doubt that the Windows Phone 7 onslaught was close at hand, feel free to abandon them now.



Furthermore, the folks on the 7 team have managed to cram a few last minute goodies into the OS, one of which we're particularly excited about. As you probably know from our in-depth preview of an early version of the software, we had a lot of issues with overflowing Facebook contacts in our phone. Microsoft has now solved that problem by enabling a contact filter system which looks for pre-existing matches to your Facebook contacts. If it doesn't find a match, it doesn't pull that contact into your address book (kind of like how Android filters Facebook friends). It's a welcome addition and should make the Facebook / Windows Phone 7 combo a lot more palatable to a lot of people. Furthermore, Microsoft has added functionality into the People Hub which will allow you to 'like' someone's posts, and you'll be able to comment directly onto someone's Wall right in the hub. The company has also made tweaks and fixes focusing on feature discoverability (another issue we pointed out in the early look), along with the expected set of polishing and finish you'd expect from a product that's gone gold master.
