<description><![CDATA[Apple may be plotting a low-cost iPhone--most likely the 3GS--in a move to tackle emerging markets, prepaid plans, and midmarket customers. If this working-classiPhone hits the market it will be disruptive toAndroid as well as Research In Motion, which is living off its low-cost Curve.Jefferies analyst Peter Misek works through the math and concludes that Apple can hold profit margins as it increasingly tiers its iPhones. At Apple's developer powwow next week, the company is expected to highlight the iPhone 4S update. An iPhone 5 will come in mid-2012. However, the most disruptive move would be the iPhone for the prepaid masses. Note that prepaid is the only part of the wireless market that's poised for growth and Android devices and RIM's BlackBerry Curve occupy a lot of shelf space.Read more of &quot;A working class Apple iPhone would disrupt Android, RIM, Nokia&quot; at ZDNet.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Welcome to News Hacking Week, in which you must decide what is real and what is not. You aren't normally troubled by this because you commit yourself to one or other highly skewed news source.However, having possibly not got over the fact that PBS didn't really report that Tupac was alive, well, and living in New Zealand, you must now decide whether Fox News ticker in New York was hacked with a slightly unusual form of fairness and balance.Please watch the video I have embedded and decide whether you believe it to be real.It seems to show that the ticker was hacked with surprisingly un-Foxy messages that read, for example: &quot;WE ARE BEING LIED TO. RIGHT WINGERS ARE DESTROYING THE MIDDLE CLASS AND TRYING TO KILL OUR UNIONS.&quot;Could this truly have happened Is it so easy to hack a hard-news ticker Fox insists this is a fake. The company reportedly told the Huffington Post that its ticker was not hacked. Some might say, therefore, that sentiments such as the one above and one, speaking of America that reads &quot;WE ARE NOT BROKE. WE ARE BEING LIED TO. WE WILL RISE UP&quot; might have some support within the Fox family. Others might say this is all just propaganda from ill-intentioned non-hackers.However, tonight the person who posted this film to YouTube--handle &quot;hiropro999&quot;--responded to Fox' denial.He or she wrote on the site: &quot;Fox is of course saying this didn't happen. So I will post a video explaining how I did it in a few hours which will hopefully prove it for all the naysayers.&quot;I know there will be some who will lose shuteye waiting for what one hopes will be a far-reaching and highly technological explanation. In the meantime, hiropro999 is already distancing his or her being from other recent hacks. &quot;For the record, I am not connected to Anonymous or any of the recent attacks on the PSN, PBS, Nasdaq or So-net,&quot; the self-proclaimed hacker posted on YouTube.In this, as in so much of contemporary news coverage, any alleged proof will be met with hearty skepticism. But I know that the many highly technical minds here assembled will already be examining the footage--as they do with all news footage--for evidence of manipulation. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:IDC)As Nokia continues to shed market share, second-place Apple is inching closer to become the world's dominant smartphone vendor, according to IDC's latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker.For the first quarter of 2011,iPhone maker Apple shipped 18.7 million smartphones, up from just 8.7 million a year ago, helping it capture a record number of shipments for a single quarter. Apple's growth was boosted by triple-digit gains in China as well as in the the U.S. with the debut of theVerizon iPhone. Continuing its expansion, Apple also picked up South Korean Telecom and Saudi Telecom as two more iPhone carriers across the globe.Nokia led the worldwide landscape by shipping 24.2 million smartphones, up from 21.5 million a year ago. However, the Finnish phone maker continued to drip market share, now accounting for 24.3 percent of all smartphones sold, down from 38.8 percent in 2010's first quarter.Related links &amp;149' Nokia unveils E6, X7 smartphones &amp;149' Verizon shares in iPhone love &amp;149' Microsoft's contract with Nokia rumored at $1BDemand for Nokia's Symbian phones remained robust in its core markets of Europe and Asia/Pacific. But even as more Symbian devices are set to hit the market, including Nokia's E6 and X7, IDC believes the company may further lose market share as it transitions from Symbian to Microsoft's Windows Phone.BlackBerry maker Research In Motion also increased its shipments last quarter but shed some market share to the competition, now owning a 14 percent slice of the market. Though RIM has unveiled a variety of new 3G handsets, it's still stuck shipping a large number of older, lower-cost phones, IDC said, a move that's expected to continue into the next quarter.Android device makers Samsung and HTC rounded out the top five list of global smartphone vendors as both companies experienced dramatic growth in both shipments and market share.Samsung saw particularly strong demand for its high-end Galaxy S-class phones as well as its Galaxy Ace and Galaxy mini devices. But itsWindows Phone 7 and Bada Wave devices also showed promising growth in the marketplace. HTC captured a record number of shipments for the quarter, aided by a number of new devices that were able to tap into 4G across different carriers, including the Inspire 4G, the Evo Shift 4G, and the ThunderBolt. Overall, the global smartphone market jumped 79.7 percent last quarter, triggered by a greater variety of models at lower prices combined with nonstop consumer demand. Shipping 99.6 million units for the quarter, the industry almost doubled its numbers from the 55.4 million shipped a year ago. And the dramatic growth shows no signs of slowing down. &quot;Conditions in the smartphone market are creating a perfect storm for sustained smartphone growth,&quot; IDC senior research analyst Ramon Llamas said in a statement. &quot;First, vendors are increasingly emphasizing smartphones as the key to their own growth. Second, selection has proliferated from mostly high-end devices to include more mid-range and entry-level offerings. Third, pricing has become increasingly competitive, with even high-end devices available at low price points.&quot; <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Android and Windows Phone will reign supreme in the smartphone market in the not-too-distant future, a new IDC report claims.According to the market researcher, more than 450 million smartphones will ship in 2011, up from the 303.4 million units last year. IDC predicts that Android will account for 39.5 percent of all smartphone shipments this year, easily besting Symbian's 20.9 percent market share. Apple's iOS platform is expected to be running on 15.7 percent of the smartphones shipped in 2011. RIM's BlackBerry andWindows Phone 7/Windows Mobile will round out the top five with 14.9 percent and 5.5 percent market share in 2015, respectively.IDC's 2011 expectations likely won't surprise many folks. But its 2015 estimates will.(Credit:IDC)The research firm contends that Android will have 45.4 percent market share in 2015. It will be followed by Microsoft's Windows Phone platform with 20.9 percent market share. The compound annual growth of Microsoft's platform over the next four years is expected to be 67.1 percent, IDC said. Apple's iOS and Research In Motion's BlackBerry platform will own 15.3 percent and 13.7 percent of the smartphone market, respectively.Microsoft's expected gains in the smartphone market aren't by chance. The company's market share boost will be due mainly to its recent partnership with Nokia, which will be using Windows Phone 7 as the &quot;principal&quot; operating system in its smartphones likely starting in 2012.&quot;Up until the launch of Windows Phone 7 last year, Microsoft has steadily lost market share while other operating systems have brought forth new and appealing experiences,&quot; Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst on IDC's Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team, said today in a statement. &quot;The new alliance brings together Nokia's hardware capabilities and Windows Phone's differentiated platform...By 2015, IDC expects Windows Phone to be the No. 2 operating system worldwide behind Android.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The growing wave oftablets is spurring mobile app developers to put the devices at the top of their priority lists, according to a new survey.An IDC and Appcelerator survey of app developers (PDF) found that interest in Android tablets shot up 12 points over the past three months with 74 percent &quot;very interested&quot; in developing for the Google OS-based devices.But theiPad is still king, with 87 percent of those polled &quot;very interested&quot; in developing for Apple's tablet. Interest in Research In Motion's upcoming BlackBerry Playbook nearly doubled to 28 percent. Hewlett-Packard's WebOS tablet remained flat at 16 percent.(Credit:Appcelerator)Asked to gauge factors that would decide the fate of a new Android tablet, 57 percent of the developers said that price would be the most important selling point. Forty-nine percent pointed to minimized fragmentation among Android devices, 44 percent mentioned hardware capabilities, and 33 percent said it would rest on the potential of Google's new Honeycomb operating system.Compiling a wish list for Apple's iPad 2, developers cited camera features, a USB connector, and an improved Retina display. Some developers also said they're hoping for a better processor and greater variety of sizes.In the land of smartphones, interest in Android has continued to grow, putting it within reach of theiPhone. Among those polled, 87 percent said they were &quot;very interested&quot; in developing for an Android phone, a gain of 5 points from three months earlier. That puts Android smartphones just behind the iPhone at 92 percent. But with 10 billion mobile apps downloaded to date, Apple's flagship phone continues to be the top priority among developers, according to the survey's accompanying report. Trailing just behind the BlackBerry, Microsoft's new Windows Phone 7 kicked up interest among 36 percent of the developers, who cited the improved user interface as a key component. (Credit:Appcelerator) The app stores themselves are also battling for the attention of developers, especially those designing for Android. Though a majority 82 percent of developers are interested in offering their apps through Google's Android Market, 37 percent expressed interested in Amazon's upcoming Android Appstore, which just opened this month to developers. To compile the report, apps development platform Appcelerator and market researcher IDC surveyed 2,235 Appcelerator Titanium developers from January 10 to 12. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
