<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Screenshot by Jessica Dolcourt/CNET)Nokia may be committed to producing Windows phones as its primary mobile operating system, but not before slowly parting with its first love.The company will continue to support smartphones that run the Finnish company's Symbian platform until 2016, CEO Stephen Elop told Anna Shipley of Nokia Conversations, China Edition in an interview (video below).&quot;We're in a period where the investment in Symbian absolutely continues,&quot; Elop said.&quot;Even as we go through a transition towards our primary smartphone platform, Windows Phone, you will see that continued investment. And I know there's been questions about--so how long does that continue--and we've now been very clear about that, that software updates to Symbian devices are expected until at least 2016. So there's a long history still to be paved for Symbian in the future.&quot;When pressed, Elop confirmed that Nokia will maintain its customer service and apps as part of Nokia's ongoing support for Symbian customers.The close relationship with Microsoft, forged last February, goes two ways. On Tuesday, Microsoft made a show of highlighting its relationship with Nokia as a special Windows Phone partner by promising to release Microsoft's anticipated fall update to Nokia phones first.[Via Engadget, All About Symbian, Nokia Conversations China]        Jessica Dolcourt     Full Profile E-mail Jessica Dolcourt   E-mail Jessica Dolcourt If you have a question or comment for Jessica Dolcourt, you can submit it here.

<description><![CDATA[Twitter search showed some of the most popular tweets about Osama bin Laden&amp;39's death, as measured by how many thousands of times they&amp;39'd been retweeted.(Credit:screenshot by Stephen Shankland/CNET)News of Osama bin Laden's death was big on Twitter--but not the biggest so far in terms of tweets per second.&quot;Twitter traffic spiked to more than 4,000 tweets per second at the beginning and end of President Obama's speech tonight announcing the death of Osama Bin Laden,&quot; said company spokesman Matt Graves. Twitter also spread the word of bin Laden's death faster than the official announcement and supplied an inadvertent live account of the attack on bin Laden by U.S. forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on Sunday.For comparison, that was more than the peak rate of 3,085 tweets per second of the 2010 NBA finals, the 3,283 tweets per second of Japan's World Cup soccer victory over Denmark. It's in the same range as 4,064 tweets per second for the 2011 Superbowl.But it's well short of the 6,939 tweets per second ushering in the new year in Japan. That moment, of course, was very precisely timed, which probably led to a more concentrated burst of tweeting.Peak tweet rates don't just depend on the magnitude of a news event. They also depend on when the event happens, and in the case of bin Laden's death, it was late on a Sunday night on the East Coast.The timing likely was convenient for some on the Net. Unplanned surges in interest can swamp Web sites, especially those delivering data-intensive video. When news arrives during off-peak hours, though, it can give sites time to prepare with better traffic capacity and smooth out demand for the information.There were some problems keeping up, said Keynote Systems, which monitors Internet and mobile data performance.&quot;Keynote Systems observed that the leading connected and mobile news sites began to experience performance slowdowns and streaming sites too groaned under the traffic load,&quot; spokesman Dan Berkowitz said.Subjects relating to Osama bin Laden topped Google&amp;39's list of hot searches in the United States.(Credit:screenshot by Stephen Shankland/CNET)<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Intel is moving aggressively into thetablet and phone segments as Netbook sales begin to plateau, Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith said in an interview today with CNET. Intel chief financial officer Stacy Smith(Credit:Intel)Intel reported blockbuster first-quarter profits today of $3.2 billion, up 29 percent over the same period last year. Revenue came in at $12.8 billion, up 25 percent year-over-year. And the chipmaker is investing some of these hefty earnings into cutting-edge chips that will power smartphones and tablets in an effort to close the gap with competitors like Qualcomm and Samsung. Smith confessed that Netbooks are the most vulnerable to tablet cannibalization, when asked about the growing popularity of tablets. &quot;The Atom volume going into Netbooks is pretty flat quarter on quarter. Pretty flat year on year. If there's an impact with tablet cannibalization, it certainly is happening there. But even there it's still a $400 million business for us,&quot; he told CNET today. But Intel is responding to the challenge, Smith said. The company is accelerating its push into the next generation of chips targeted at smartphones and tablets, namely Medfield and Cloverview--both code names for future Atom processors based on the company's 32-nanometer technology. Current Atom chips, including the tablet-centric Oak Trail part, use older 45-nanometer tech.  &quot;Yeah, I think it's safe to say 'yes' [Intel is accelerating the rollout of those products],&quot; Smith said. &quot;Those are very good products in the tablet segment as they will be in the phone segment. Oak Trail is a good product. It starts the design win momentum. We'll quickly follow up with Medfield.&quot; And this more aggressive stance on mobile devices is being funded by big profits coming from its new line of Sandy Bridge PC processors. &quot;Customer reaction to Sandy Bridge is phenomenal. The mix is [weighted] toward the high end. As to ramp rate, it's by far our fastest ramping product, faster than Nehalem and faster than our previous generation,&quot; Smith said. Smith continued, commenting on the Intel's response to the Sandy Bridge chipset glitch back in February. &quot;At the time, we said we would lose $300 million worth of revenue and a couple of million units of sales in Q1. I'm pleased to say that based on cash flow performance [and] on the factories' ability to ramp the new chipset...and get it into the hands of customers, [that] completely mitigated that $300 million impact,&quot; he said. Intel CEO Paul Otellini also had plenty to say about smartphones and tablets when responding to questions from analysts during the company's earnings conference call. Most notably, Otellini said that this year the bulk of tablet designs using the Atom processor are based on the Android operating system--not the in-house MeeGo OS. &quot;My sense is the bulk of the units, the [models] this year will be Android,&quot; he said, adding that &quot;[regarding the] Honeycomb version of Android source code from Google...we're actively doing the port on that and expect to be able to ramp those machines over the course of this year.&quot; And he also spoke about Nokia and how Intel is &quot;redirecting resources&quot; to other customers. &quot;In terms of phones, obviously, we lost Nokia, which took a lot of wind out of the sales for phones this year. We've redirected those resources into a number of other major accounts...They're all based on Medfield, which is, I think, still the first 32-nanometer phone processor in the industry.&quot; What about the timing of Medfield phone rollouts &quot;And quite frankly, the limit in terms of them (the phones) getting to market is going to be the interoperability testing of the networks at this point in time. So I think I would be very disappointed if you didn't see Intel-based phones for sale 12 months from now,&quot; Otellini said. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
