<br />
This is unbelievable but true. Forget about Nokia still being top mobile phone maker, forget about Android being on top in 2011 worldwide smartphone shipments. When it comes to 'money' Apple seem to have nailed everyone else. Morgan Keegan’s Tavis McCourt has reported that Apple has generated 50% of mobile industry's revenue and 80% of profits in mobile industry belong to Apple.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Apple simply dominated Q4:11 handset/mobile computing trends, and
now accounts for nearly 50% of the revenues of the entire industry and
over 80% of the profits by our calculation,” writes McCourt.</blockquote>
McCourt has also made an interesting point. Global mobile computing revenue rose by 34% thanks to Apple and if you remove Apple from equation, revenues fell by 0.4%. This clearly shows how deep Apple has penetrated the industry and how insignificant the term 'marketshare' has become. <br />

<br />
It seems like CM team is facing lot of difficulties with the development of CM9 as Icecream Sandwich contains lot of changes from previous versions that require updated graphics drivers and since these drivers are usually closed, one has to wait until device or devkit using these drivers is released. Due to this reason, CM9 may not be available for many devices. Currently, CM9 can be compiled to work on Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi and T-Mobile versions), HP Touchpad and Motorola Xoom. We should soon see devices with Samsung's Exynos chipset and Qualcomm MSM8660 and 7×30 based chipsets get CM9 port while support for earlier devices based on QSD8x50 is still a big ?.<br />
<br />
Team Cyanogen has removed CMParts application and added custom features into the main settings. They have also decided to cut down on tweak options that were provied in CM7 as they feel that the options are too many and that they are now looking for a balance between tweakability and works out-of-the-box style.<br />

Atlast, after three years, Google has ported Chrome to Android. Yes. the 'Official' Chrome browser for Android is out (currently in beta but installable from Android market). Feature list first:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Accelerated page loading, scrolling, and zooming</li>
<li>Search and navigate directly from the Omnibox</li>
<li>Open and switch between unlimited tabs in an easy-to-view stack, innovative tab management.</li>
<li>Sync your bookmarks and open tabs and windows that were open in your PC's chrome browser</li>
<li>Incognito mode</li>
<li>Place shifting: keep track of windows open in all your PCs al the time so that when you want to move away from PC, you can continue browsing those pages from your phone and from where you left off. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Do note that this is available only for IceCream Sandwich and is currently available only in the following countries:</div>

"Once you build a great app, you want everyone to know about it," said Apple in a letter to developers. "However, <a href="https://developer.apple.com/news/index.php?id=02062012a">when you promote your app</a>,
you should avoid using services that advertise or guarantee top
placement in App Store charts. Even if you are not personally engaged in
manipulating App Store chart rankings or user reviews, employing
services that do so on your behalf may result in the loss of your Apple
Developer Program membership."<br />
<br />
It seems that some devleopers are employing services and methods to gain better position in top xyz list, methods like adding fake reviews and ratings.<br />

Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7, or Nokia Oro started getting Belle update across the globe. Users of Nokia 500 on the other hand will have to wait for few more days to do Belle dance. The udpate can be installed by connecting the phone to PC and running Nokia Suite application but do note that the update is nearly 300MB in size. If you are not sure how to, follow this video:<br />

To avoid exploit techniques that make use of Flash's security vulnerabilities to gain access to browser, Adobe will be sandboxing Flash player (a.k.a protected mode, similar to how IE runs in Windows 7) that runs in Firefox. This is similar to Flash player that runs on Chrome (already sandboxed) and should make Firefox more secure.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The design of this sandbox is similar to what Adobe delivered with Adobe Reader X Protected Mode and follows the same Practical Windows Sandboxing<span class="ext"></span> approach. Like the Adobe Reader X sandbox<span class="ext"></span>,
Flash Player will establish a low integrity, highly restricted process
that must communicate through a broker to limit its privileged
activities. The sandboxed process is restricted with the same job limits
and privilege restrictions as the Adobe Reader Protected Mode
implementation. Adobe Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox 4.0 or
later will be supported on both Windows Vista and Windows 7," Adobe's Peleus Uhley<span class="ext"></span> said.</blockquote>
Currently in beta state (available only for developers), final version will be available for years in 2012.<br />

Kubuntu, the official Ubuntu distro that uses KDE as primary Window Manager is will not be under Canonical's umbrella anymore and will be treated similar to Edubuntu, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu etc.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The practical changes are I won't be able to work on KDE bits in my work time after 12.04 and there won't be paid support for versions after 12.04. This is a rational business decision, Kubuntu has not been a business success after 7 years of trying, and it is unrealistic to expect it to continue to have financial resources put into it." said Jonathan Riddell, Kubuntu developer.</blockquote>
Jonathan also requested the community to step up and voluntarily take up tasks that were earlier poorly supported by them and also encourages KDE developers to apply to UDS so that they can continue discussions w.r.t Kubuntu.<br />

At FOSDEM conference, Libre Office Developer Michael Meeks showed prototype Android and HTML port of Libre Office Productivity Suite. LibreOffice developers were able to re-use existing code, thanks to the Open Source and Free Software foundation that they laid when they first developed LibreOffice. Below are the salient features of this code re-use:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><ul>
<li>Substantially same code on smartphones, PCs and large clusters</li>
<li>One bug fix for everyone</li>
<li>Interoperability</li>
<li>Build / Debug 95%+ on the fastest hardware</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Cloud Office, HTML5 prototype</b></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>HTML5 canvas based rendering</li>
<li>Communication using Web-Sockets</li>
<li>Low bandwidth usage for simple tasks</li>
<li>GTK+ 3 and Broadway backend</li>
<li>Works on modern browsers</li>
<li>Shipping in LibreOffice 3.5</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Android prototype</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Prototype only</li>
<li>Latest code in feature/android branch</li>
<li>Still a long way to go</li>
</ul>
<div>
Yes. The Android port is nowhere near and it seems the devs are facing significant challenges and any hacker and dev is welcome to work on this port. Hit the source button to get the PDF that contains all the slides from the presentation. </div>

On February 8th, Sony is going to push 1.6 update for PS Vita devices and this update will enable full navigation functionality with maps application added to home screen and ability to record videos using inbuild camera application. Do note that you need to get the Wi-Fi+3G version as the Wi-Fi only version doesn't come with GPS module. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15683826079492508210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480659417232097756.post-58506921591320036412012-02-06T15:37:00.001+05:302012-02-06T15:37:46.903+05:30Windows Phone gets Seesmic Ping social app<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
