As Smartphones Reach A Global Tipping Point, Leader Samsung Shipped 71M Devices In Q1, Nearly 2X As Many As Apple

IDC is the first of the big analyst companies to come out with quarterly mobile device shipment numbers that indicate Q1 as the first quarter where smartphones have outnumbered more basic feature phones in worldwide shipments: in a total market of 418.6 million devices, 216.2 (51.6%) were smartphones. But it is was a kind of tipping point of another sort, too: it is a sign of how Apple is not the juggernaut that it once was. (BTW… for those of you keeping track, this is not the first quarter...

If you’re a fan of pure Android, then you might want to consider Motorola or BLU for your next mobile device. Both companies announced this week that they will be sticking with stock Android, instead of creating custom overlays like Samsung’s Touchwiz or HTC’s Sense. Jim Wicks, Motorola’s design chief, told PCMag, “From a software and UI perspective, our strategy is to embrace Android and to make it the best expression of Android and Google in the market. It will be the unadulterated version of...

Microsoft and Foxconn, the world's largest manufacturer of consumer electronics, just made a deal that will give Microsoft a cut of every Android device Foxconn makes. The terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but Microsoft did say it would be getting royalties from Hon Hai, the parent company of Foxconn, under the agreement.

Nexus Tablet Sales Estimate Shows The Nexus 10 Is Probably Not A Popular Option

Nexus tablet device sales remain a bit nebulous, since Google doesn’t give out specific numbers around them. But industry watchers, and Benedict Evans in particular, often try to pierce the veil to find out where the Nexus brand stands compared to the rest of the industry when it comes to sales. The Nexus 10, it seems, probably pales in comparison to most. The tablet, manufactured by OEM partner Samsung, went on sale in November of last year, just shortly after the iPad mini. Based on Evans’...

Samsung вероятно ще промени визията на следващите си смартфони

Съдейки по всички модели на Samsung от 2012-а насам и по вашите реакции на всеки следващ анонс - компанията определено се нуждае от промяна в дизайна на устройствата си и това може да се случи съвсем скоро. Снимки от Twitter акаунта @evleaks подсказват, че корейците подготвят нова визия за бъдещите си смартфони.  Снимките показват елементи от корпуса на необявено устройство, което досега не сме виждали. Дизайнът при него вече е с по-ръбати краища, а не със заоблени страни, както при...

Don’t hold your breath for a Microsoft Surface Windows Phone

Myerson specifically gave Nokia and HTC a shout-out as two of the hardware partners that provide compelling Windows Phone 8 handsets.

Intel’s dilemma and the slowly crumbling PC ecosystem

For an industry whose lot in life is to invent the future and challenge the status quo, technology’s giants are astonishingly stubborn when faced with change. And no two companies personify that more than Microsoft and Intel — the glimmer twins of the personal computer revolution. For decades the PC buying cycle left these two companies sitting on a mountain of cash higher than even the highest Himalayan peaks. I guess when you are sitting at such heights, it is hard to look down and recognize...

Smartwatch Market Could Be A Third The Size Of The Netbook Market This Year (Maybe)

It’s almost like Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft have actually launched smartwatches. Except of course they haven’t. But who cares! Analyst house ABI Research has been stroking its collective beard and come up with a forecast for the size of the nascent smartwatch market. And — drum roll please! — it reckons you can bank on more than 1.2 million of the wrist-strapped gizmos shipping this year. Put another way, that’s about as many Raspberry Pi microcomputers shipped in its first year on...

Rumor: Samsung to improve build quality of its phones beginning with aluminum Note 3

We’re still waiting for Samsung’s first flagship for 2013, the Samsung Galaxy S4, to land, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in the meantime. Rumored to be announced at IFA in Berlin this September, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is likely still very early in its design stages. [...]

Rumor: AT&T Galaxy S4 launching April 26th

Past Galaxy S smartphone launches have taught us not to look forward to the smartphone too early here in North America.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Can't Touch the iPad Mini [REVIEW]

Pete Pachal2013-04-09 13:05:57 UTC The classic 6 x 9 inch steno pad has been a mainstay of my journalism career since the early '90s, when I, as a college sophomore, first walked into the offices of the student newspaper on campus. That's why I was excited to check out the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0: Here's the piece of technology that most closely resembles the steno pad — and could possibly replace it forever. The Note 8, coming the U.S. April 11, is the latest in Samsung's Note line of phones...

Facebook Home Could Be a Pain, Unless You Really Love Facebook

Facebook Home is something we've never seen before. It's far more than just an app and beyond just a skin, but something less than an operating system. It doesn't replace Android or skins like TouchWiz, but installing it will radically transform your Android phone — and not necessarily for the better. What Home boils down to is this: if you're obsessed with Facebook, Home is for you. But if you'd like to use your Android phone for something else — like checking email, for example — you'll...

Where Do You Buy Your Technology? [Poll]

Samsung is setting up shop - literally - with a new plan to open mini-stores within 1,500 U.S. Best Buy stores by June.
