Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / smartphone OS
English term or phrase: metaphors
Android 4 made a good start to improving the interface, but it's still inconsistent. It has even introduced some new ***metaphors*** and inconsistently implemented them, so it has a ways to go to be a polished OS. Windows Phone 7 is proficient but can do little beyond social networking, and it's unclear whether Microsoft will try to make it a full-on platform like iOS or Android. Then there's BlackBerry OS, which is being replaced later this year with a new OS -- assuming RIM can finish the job, given its many delays and declining revenues.

"秘密武器"


Explanation:
"metaphor"的原意是“暗喻”,在这里应该可以把它理解成私底下还未公开的一些功能等,翻译成“秘密武器”可以表达这个意思,也起到了暗喻的作用。
