Can you buy a new phone every six months?
It often boggled my mind why this was not the case earlier. Someone at the phone companies out there finally wised up and realized that folks who buy smartphones, buy them a lot. We also break them a lot, drop them in a pool a lot, have their kids use them as frisbees a lot, and, well, you get the point. At $600 a pop, that can be an expensive habit. Enter the new upgrade plans. These new plans dramatically increase the flexibility of a consumer’s upgrade options. Now, instead of being stuck and bound to an 18 –
15 billion apps downloaded
At some point I am wondering if we just do what McDonalds did and say forget it, we just sold a ton of apps; period? Seems like not now though. Apple has crested the 15 billion app mark and seems to be on fire. We even now have north of 425,000 apps to choose from in the app store so despite what appears to be more options that most would have ever imagined, folks are still downloading them like crazy. The hardest part to believe here is that we have only enjoyed knowing what an app store even was
Our move to a post PC world
In a world where smartphones went from huh? to everywhere in only a few short years, it leaves most wondering what comes next? Tablets? Smaller phones? Computers embedded in my eye and a keyboard that only I can see? Perhaps all of those things but one thing, according to Forrester, the computer paradigm is changing. First on their list is the shift from desktop to everywhere. Computers are going from a fixed position entity to things that are everywhere. Computers are in virtually everything now. That is only going to augment over time. Next is the shift from a
Microsoft marketplace stats
The Windows Phone Marketplace is the place where Microsoft sells its phone apps. Everyone seems to know a lot about the Apple App Store but this little guy does not get a whole lot of attention. We thought we would list out a few things here that are of some interest to us. This marketplace offers, at present, about 9,000 apps for Windows phones. Their information tells us that this grows by about 100 applications per day. Slowly but surely it seems to move forward. Microsoft clearly does well with free or trial apps. Some interesting tidbits here too.
Microsoft to join the tablet party; in 2012
Microsoft is psyched. They are finally jumping in to the tablet wars of late. The bad news is they won’t be doing it until next year. Next year? Really? While nothing is official yet it looks like Microsoft is working out the kinks on a new version of Windows 7 that would be more ideally suited for the new touch interface of a tablet. Sweet, we sit with baited breath for that. It seems odd to wait that long really. While we don’t advocate a lot of what is going on in the market now with tablets getting out
HTML 5 video getting bigger every day
Anyone who has owned anything Apple for the last, oh, forever, knows all too well that their devices often lack a piece of hardware or two that all other computers have. See, SCSI ports, floppy drives, smaller floppy drives, zip drives, etc. It is no secret that when Apple is done with something it is quite simply done and that is that. The recent Apple vs. Adobe wars were nothing different except that it was software this time. Ensuing wars not withstanding, they once again made a pretty bold statement. A year ago only about 10% of the online
Android takes over top US mobile spot
As the battle of the devices wages on some not-so-shocking news emerged this month from Nielsen. Google’s Android platform has taken over the top spot in the US marketplace over Apple , Blackberry, and everyone else. Final stats have Android taking 29% of the US market while Apple and Blackberry both take 27%. For those interested in the rest Windows is still holding on to 10% of the market. Palm and everything else take 7%. The fact that Android took top spot is hardly a surprise. Every carrier in the US has several devices (about 100 or so different
