Android's Market Share In U.s. Was 40% In June
Google Android operating system may face many legal proceedings, but its market share still ranked the highest in the U.S. It is estimated that by the end of June in 2011, the U.S. smart phone users are 78.5 million, a growth of 8%.
In the June of this year, 30,000 mobile phone users are investigated. The survey shows that benefit from the sales of a large number of operators and hundreds of Android phones in the market, Android's share in June increased from 38% in May to 40%. Apple iOS ranked the second place with a market share of 26.6%.
A few days ago, Analysys said Android accounts for 48 percent of the global market share. Apple iOS's global share is 19%. After Samsung Verizon Wireless, AT & T and Sprint carriers released Galaxy S II Mobile in this summer, the battle between Android and iPhone will open a new chapter. The sales of Samsung's new mobile phone exceeded five million units in less than 90 days.
It is expected that Apple will launch iPhone 5 in the September or October. iPhone 5 will configure a faster processor, new body design, running iOS 5. Analysys said that iPhone 5 will help Apple to strengthen its strong position in the second half of 2011.
In the June, RIM BlackBerry platform continued to decline, from 24.7% in May fell to 23.4%. The phone companies want to boost its share of smart phones by the release of new Blackberry 7 OS platform in the end of this month. The new products include an upgraded BlackBerry Torch and the Bold.
The market share of Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system is 5.8%. Analysts predicted that Microsoft's smart phone shipments in the second quarter will be less than 1.5 million. Its global market share is only 1%. Microsoft believes that once Mango smart phones go to the market this fall, it will soon change the status quo.
The market share of Google Android in major countries of Europe and America is more than 50%. Google's market share in the United States, Australia and major European countries reached 50.6%. Although Apple's iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS are only sold, but its share in Europe is still more than 25%.

Angry Birds Game Release To Android
The very much anticipated release of Angry Birds to the Android market had finally arrived; and the popularity of the game was under estimated by it's creator Rovio. Upon release date it brought the companies site to a halt due to the large demand for the game from Android users. GetJar collaborated with Rovio to be the first official download site for the game, and even they had some major issues supplying the high demand. To the point that they recommended downloaders to go to their mobile site to download the game so to save some bandwidth from their main site.
There are two main reasons why this release was such a big deal. First, obviously because the game is the most successful and most popular game in the iPhone market; it sold more than seven million copies and has held it's position for quite some time. Secondly, and what some might not have realized is that this new release for the Android is being offered for free because the game is supported by ads rather consumer sales. Rovio does plan on releasing a no-ads paid version to the market for those that rather fork out the cash than deal with the annoying ads, but it is not yet currently available.
In an interview with Peter from Rovio he remarked that the game is being played over 65 million minutes per day and that's just with the iPhone version and now with it being available for the Android he predicts that it will rise to over 100 million minutes per day. Not even mentioning or thinking about the releases for other platforms such as the PC, blackberry, etc.
The release of the game has shown the strength of the Android community, and it's numbers are growing quickly. In my opinion it will eventually surpass the iPhone population. It is about time the iPhone has a legitimate competitor and with Google as it's locomotive there is likely no end to its track. Google is an ambitious company and is constantly venturing into new markets. They afford great quality work and always open source to allow for faster growth and opportunities for developers and even non developers to have fun and sometimes even create some small income for those dedicated. Right now the main problem i see with Android is the lack of rules in the development of programs and the leniency for accepting those programs. Many programs currently on the market are buggy and can cause your phone to malfunction, but i am sure that soon these programs will be eliminated by better programs produced by better developers.
Anyhow, back to the game, keep a lookout for new platform releases for all of your computing and entertainment devices.

Expected Features of the Apple iPhone 5 Mobile Phone
People go gaga whenever a new iPhone is expected to be released. Rumors that the iPhone 5 will be released on October 2011 has gotten Apple fans into a frenzy once again, with people from all over the world eagerly anticipating what Apple has in store for consumers this time around. This article takes a look at some of the features fans are expecting to see in the Apple iPhone 5, arguably the most anticipated mobile phone release this year.
The expected features of the phone include:
- The design. The Apple iPhone 5 is expected to have a radically different design compared to its predecessors. Said to have a teardrop design, the phone is expected to have a slimmer and lighter build compared to older iPhones. Furthermore, the iPhone 5 is said to have an aluminum plate casing and not glass like its predecessors.
- The hardware and software. The Apple iPhone 5 is expected to carry a new operating system (iOS 5) and a more powerful processor (1 GHz dual-core processor), the same processor used in the iPad 2. These make for a faster, more powerful iPhone, including having 4G network capability.
The battery of the iPhone 5 is also expected to be more powerful compared to the iPhone 4, with the talk time pegged at 14 hours maximum. The memory of the phone has been upgraded also, both in terms of RAM (pegged at 1 GB) and storage (pegged at 64 GB).
In terms of software, the iPhone 5 is said to introduce at least two new features: the iCloud allows users to sync their smartphone with iTunes wirelessly, while the Face Recognition software adds to the privacy and security features of the iPhone by confirming the identity of the user before allowing him or her to use the phone itself.
- The visuals. The camera is expected to receive a massive upgrade. Not only will it support HD video recording at 1080p, it is also said to have a built-in flash feature to allow you to take even better features than before. Furthermore, the camera is said to take photos up to 8 MP in resolution. There are also rumors that the iPhone 5 will be able to take 3D photos as well. The improvements in terms of visuals aren't just limited to the camera. The iPhone 5 is expected to have a larger screen (about 5 inches diagonally) and better screen resolution.
- The cost. In spite of the upgrades the iPhone 5 is expected to have, it is said to have the same price as the iPhone 4G, which means that buyers can get massive savings even as they get to enjoy the new features of the phone. Rumors are also floating around that a low-cost version will be released to make the iPhone 5 easier to reach.
Do note that these expected features are not endorsed by Apple, but are instead speculated by both fans and experts alike, given the past smartphone releases of the company. As such, some of the things listed above may not be seen on the actual model. Have no fear though; as the expected release date of the Apple iPhone 5 draws nearer, more information about the smartphone will be given by the company so you will know what to expect from this iPhone model.

The Apple iPhone 3GS Takes Mobile Phones Into A New Dimension
Apple has done it again with the Apple iPhone 3GS. The company has constantly delivered when it comes to consumer electronics and Apple has yet to disappoint with its latest outings of laptops, tablets, and iPods.
The iPhone 3GS is a one of a kind innovation that gives you mixed feelings. Although there is plenty to like, there are things that will also disappoint. To start things off you will hear about the bad news and end with the good news.
Apple has been consistent with its releases but the iPhone 3GS lacks some of the pizzazz that the other Apple products have generated. Sure there are high-tech features that can change the way you experience your mobile device but somehow there is something lacking with its plastic feel and configurations. For the new Apple user, navigating the screen and the different icons will become tedious and would take some time to get used to.
The 3GS has a lot of things in common with a lot of other smart phones that are currently available on the market. Apple only has the vibe of exclusivity that other phones can only dream of imagining. Others have caught up with the technological advancements of the 3GS. There is very little different among the current array of mobile devices that are out on the market now.
Enough of the bad news here are the good things that you will find on the iPhone 3GS.
The 3GS has GPS assistance that can help you get through traffic or if you are lost in the middle of an unfamiliar street or country. The digital compass will assist you whenever you need directions. The 3GS also has a 8 GB flash drive to store your music and files in. The phone has the capability to display different kinds of languages and characters at the same time. The adaptability of the language display will give foreign nationals the chance to use their iPhones in their home tongue.
The 3-megapixel camera delivers superb resolution when you take pictures and shoot videos. It has an auto-focus function that allows you to zoom in and capture a priceless moment. You can record a video of up to thirty frames per second with the iPhones camera.
The touchscreen allows for ease of use and the phone has a finger print resistant oleophobic coat to prevent damage to the touchscreen capability of the phone. You can browse your favorite sites and watch your favorite videos on the iPhone 3GS.
You can also view different kinds of files on your 3GS. You can view power point files, rich text files, PDf files, Microsoft documents, and different kinds of images. You can also enjoy your favorite tunes because of the high tech audio features.
There is plenty to like about the 3GS but due to the fast paced development of the mobile device industry, it is better to wait for other models that offer better features. But if you are itching for an iPhone fix then you can buy this phone at an affordable price.

Optimizing the Utility of iPhone Applications for Mobile Commerce
Nowadays mobile commerce has evolved a bit more and cannot be just termed as another simple form of iPhone application. For a broader strategy on mobile commerce the web site and iPhone application are the two major and vital elements. If you want to optimize and release the true potential of your online business then these two elements still prove insufficient to tap the whole market. One needs to avail the services of adept professionals to optimize the utility of the mobile platform.
The mobile has created a market that can be accessed 24/7 all through the year. The mobile is no more a luxury but a need that helps the people to interact, connect, influence and inform. Mobile phones have proved to be the best channel to directly connect to the customers, clients, prospective customers or prospective clients.
One needs to understand and recognize the strengths of the mobile when using it for commerce. Mobile can work as complementary with other channels. Most of the mobile commerce is usually restricted to the periphery and premises of the mobile device. It is usually a standalone function and this sort of situation can have harmful effect on the business mainly because it is not synchronous with other channels.
If an iPhone application exhibits the details and price of the product but does not show how to buy the product or service or does not offer any scope of putting up questions, then this application is hardly of any utility.
Releasing the Potential of the Mobile
Some of the strategies to release the potential of the mobile are as follows
Services that are on the basis of location
Applications that help to locate the nearest store having the products needed by the application user, can work wonders for the business.

Multiple channel connection
If properly used the mobile can be the first point of access with a prospective client or customers. The details of this can be then transferred to other channels to be handled more effectively.

Shopping Applications
The applications can convert the mobile device in to a sort of salesperson. This is only possible if the application allows the checking of availability of the product that the customer wants. The application should allow the comparison of the prices quoted by other retailers and provide product information that is reliable.

Closing the Deal
As far as transactions are concerned, it has been found that the mobile is quite slow at it. So it is better to collect the data through the mobile and execute the transaction through other channel that is quicker.

With an open source OS, Androids are royalty free and license free, which makes them quite compelling for wireless operators and handset manufacturers.

The Android platform also allows you easy integration and cross promoted of various applications. This user friendly feature can help a lot when you need to create a network between varied applications.

Remember - you need the right and competent Android development professionals to bring your ideas in effect. So, select the ones that offer the right dose of affordability and quality so that you can help your business grow and take it to the next level. Best of Luck!
