The research firm IDC released a report on the study of the market of mobile phones in the III quarter. The biggest changes were Nokia. The Finnish company fell out of the five largest suppliers of smartphones for the first time in 14 years passed forward Canadian RIM, ZTE and China Taiwan HTC.

In the smartphone segment leader Samsung, whose share for the year increased from 22.7% to 31.3%. The South Korean company twice increased its smartphone shipments to 56.3 million, increasing the gap between Apple, which took second place in the ranking. iPhone market share was 15%, which is 1.2% points higher than in the III quarter of last year.

Rapidly losing ground Canadian RIM. Though it occupies the third position, but its share for the year decreased from 9.6% to 4.3%. Following ZTE Canadians are with the index 4.2%. Chinese smartphone sales grew by 86%. The top five leaders of the HTC, but in her case is even worse than the manufacturer of BlackBerry. Taiwanese delivery vehicles "sunk" by 42.5%, market share decreased from 10.3% to 4%.

As for mobile phones in general, with a leading position shifted Nokia Samsung, which now controls almost a quarter of the market. The share of Finns had 18.7% of units sold, and closes the top three Apple with the index 6.1%.

How to calculate the research company IDC, the global mobile phone market has grown in III quarter by 2.4% year on year from 434.1 million to 444.5 million units. Smartphone sales increased by 45.3% to 179.7 million units.

Android has received 41% of the tablet market share iPad - 57%

Experts research firm Strategy Analytics concluded that the operating system Android has strengthened its position in the tablet market. This was the conclusion Apple after the publication of the report for the IV quarter of 2012 fiscal year.

According to analysts, the share of the American giant computer electronics on the market of tablet computers has dropped from 68.3% to 56.7%, while the share of Android-tablet conversely increased from 29.2% a year ago to 41%. Recent sales grew from 5 to 10.2 million units.

As for Microsoft, then its already small share of 2.3% down to 1.6%, although the announcement of the tablet Surface can still rectify the situation. The statistics take into account all the tablets manufacturers using Android and Windows, respectively. The share of other operating systems dropped to 0.4%.

While Android-tablets and nearly won market share from Apple, individually none of the manufacturers do not come close to iPad in terms of sales. Observers believe that the debut of iPad mini, the success of which they no doubt will allow the company to regain some lost ground. On the other hand, competitors are not asleep, too, and do not consider a lower price advantage worthy of disdain.

Total for the quarter was issued 24.7 million tablets. This is 43.4% more than 17.2 million gadgets shipped in the III quarter of 2011.

The new operating system from Microsoft, as it is known, in addition to new design, users expect a radical change: now familiar button "start" is not, and on the start screen is "tiles," each of which represents an application.

Many are concerned about Microsoft's decision to radically change the interface of its platform. The well-known expert in the design of interfaces Jakob Nielsen said that the traditional PC users essentially thrown under the tank developers Microsoft, has introduced a new design.

According to experts, Windows 8 good for tablets, but not for the PC. It is likely that in the pursuit of the mobile market Microsoft could hurt its traditional profitable business - the operating system for desktop and more active users will give up "windows" in favor of Mac OS X.

Note that this evening will be the official event Microsoft, dedicated to the launch of Windows 8 and tablets running Windows RT.

Analysts called the cost too high for iPad mini

iPad Mini - a nice gadget, but unnecessarily expensive, say Western experts. An indirect confirmation of the device is inflated prices decline by almost 4% California company share price immediately after the presentation.

According to analysts, if Apple was going to expose the iPad mini as a competitor to the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab or Google Nexus 7, then it is not work, because the iPad mini is almost half as much them, but to create some noise for selling full-size iPad the company managed.

Were surprised pricing strategy Apple. Most of them are expected to see a younger version of iPad mini for $ 250, but the price was announced at $ 329. Now Amazon Kindle Fire tablet sells for $ 159 in the U.S., and Google Nexus sells 7 to $ 199. Both models are based on Android and have a 7-inch screen.

"iPad mini, is probably a good product, but it is 70 pounds more than the Nexus 7 and 110 pounds - the Amazon Kindle Fire. Not sure what the difference is justified "- says journalist CNET.

In Gizmodo even called iPad mini "crazy expensive." Yes, it is lighter and thinner than its competitors, also has a larger screen. This difference, in their opinion, is not as significant, but on the side of the same Nexus 7 - display with a higher resolution and low price. Besides, there are rumors that the tablet from Google will get cheaper and support for 3G.

In Cupertino claim to rely on the quality of production, and the proprietary aluminum casing, while most competitors have plastic shell. Apple chief designer Jonathan said that housing iPad mini was made with "precision diamond" and its margin almost inseparable from the beginning of the screen, which makes the device monolithic.

Meanwhile, Gartner analyst Carolina said that Apple now commands a parade of tablets, so it can afford to charge high prices for their products.

"The original iPad virtually created the market, and the 7-inch tablet will be later, as a product of the budget category for users with low payment capacity. Apple, even releasing a response to such value products, has never dropped to the bottom of the price, ".

Answering the question of whether the price iPad mini push buyers for whom it is an important factor in selecting a device, a top manager Phil Schiller, Apple announced that users will perceive the "apple" mini-tablet as a premium product, which is worth paying for.

Recall, iPad mini will be available from November 2 in the U.S. and three dozen countries, including most of Europe. Here the first time in the sale will only model interface Wi-Fi. Receiving pre-orders will start on 26 October.

At the presentation of iPad mini Apple introduce iTunes 11

Interface of the new iTunes greatly simplified, and the design of the program is described as "light" and "sweet." Will be easier to view album: when you click on the cover of a special section opens with a list of songs, duration and ratings.

Recall now Apple may also introduce a 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop with a display Retina. The unit will receive the same slim body as that of 15-inch sibling and a price tag to  $ 1,699 .

HTC J butterfly against the Samsung Galaxy S III: speed

HTC starts to regain the laurels of first-tier smartphone manufacturer, whose products are attracting consumers a nice design, powerful hardware stuffing and innovative technologies. The first step in this direction was the announcement of an exclusive to Japan until HTC J butterfly. This smartphone, if it can be called a device with a huge screen FullHD- so surprised the telecom world that talk about this announcement is still underway. particularly interested in comparing it to the current flagship. For example, with the Samsung Galaxy S III.

One of the visitors to the announcement of the new line operator auKDDI, exclusive to which is HTC J butterfly, compared with its novelty DoCoMo SC-06D, the operating Samsung Galaxy S III. SGS3 from standard Japanese version has replaced the quad-core Exynos Quad 4 from Samsung created Qualcomm dual-core MSM8960. Accordingly, there is a version of the flagship Samsung and support for LTE. The rest of the unit is close to the standard version: 720p-display with a diagonal of 4.8 inches, created by technology SuperAMOLED, 1 GB of RAM, a camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels.

Display device with a diagonal of 5 inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1080, he created the technology Super LCD 3. The amount of RAM is twice the opponent - 2 GB. While synthetic benchmarks J butterfly also showed superiority of this giant on the current generation of champions (including over DoCoMo SC-06D), we must understand that the software can neutralize this difference. Interface more powerful device can run less smoothly.

Fortunately, it is not. HTC managed to optimize good 4 + HTC Sense for Android 4.1 to J butterfly - the user interface in the Taiwanese smartphone works without any lags , the flagship Samsung sometimes observed some "twitching" when scrolling desktops. The situation is similar in the browser - zoom and scroll in J butterfly faster and smoother.

Despite Android fast enough and the relatively old systems modifying the interface from manufacturers give very serious burden on the SoC, which often leads to a barely noticeable lag. Of course, the main CPU power in J butterfly will be noticeable in the games, but also for smooth operation user interface (which, incidentally, is also displayed in FullHD) shows that the new product sets a high bar for other manufacturers.

In all three devices professionals launches a web browser and open the page with the small print to see what the screen will show a clearer picture. According to experts, in this respect, ASUS netbook display was better than the iPad 2, but it is much worse than the Retina in the third-generation iPad.

iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S III and Nokia Lumia 900: length in Web surfing

Which British portal conducted a survey the most popular smartphones on the market for long battery life devices in web browsing, reports PCweek. Experimenters tested the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III, Nokia Lumia 900, HTC One X, Sony Xperia S, iPhone 4S and other devices.

According to the study, an unusually large time browsing on a single charge has shown the flagship phone of Samsung - 359 minutes (6 hours), leaving far behind on this parameter main competitor - iPhone 5. According to the Witch, the sixth generation Apple smartphone can work in this mode, use about 200 minutes of battery life (3 hours 20 minutes). Experts attribute this fact to the different capacity built-in battery in the flagship Apple and Samsung - 1440 mAh and 2100 mAh respectively.

The study once again confirms the fact that the size of the battery is important and logical optimization of reach not so easy. However, questions remain about the purity of the experiment. Thus, according to the latest 4-inch iPhone 5 is four times brighter than the screen Galaxy S III, so with equal brightness settings first LCD panel is much more economical than that of a competitor.
