Canadian BlackBerry, former icon of new technologies, announced its sale to investors to only $ 4.7 billion last Monday, the same day that rival Apple claimed his side record sales for its new iPhone.

BlackBerry, former leader of smartphones which is a shadow of himself since the arrival on the market of the iPhone and especially the latest generation of Android smartphones(THL W300), will be acquired by a consortium of investors , led by the Fairfax Canadian investment funds. Already the largest shareholder with 10% stake, Fairfax offers $ 9 per share. The stock ended the day at $ 8.82 in New York, far from its peak in July 2007 when it was trading at $ 230, a few months after the release of the first iPhone.

In the early 2000s, the BlackBerry smartphone was the first on the market for so-called smart phones and had become an indispensable tool for all business leaders and politicians in North America and Europe. Globally, BlackBerry weighs only 3% of the smartphone market when the Android(Lenovo A760) system phones team today 8 out of 10 in the world, Apple just over 1 in 10 and third place going to sourprenant Windows Phone that continues to grow.

Android has it you killed the Blackberry?

The inductive chargers allow energize his mobile without connecting . Just put it on a stand, which is connected to him . A simple contact between the charger and the device only .


Forty smartphones are compatible with this type of charge . There are several scenarios: the mobile has a component that allows the induction charging . It can also be sold with a special shell that replaces the original. This is the case with Nokia（Lenovo A850） , Samsung and LG . For other models , there are covers in which you slide the mobile and can be recharged . Ascendeo distributes the Sony Xperia . Zens for iPhone.
An international standard for compatibility

A consortium including mobile manufacturers and actors from different sectors of the industry have created a standard IQ ( Chi ) . All units built to this standard are compatible. It should allow the future to develop inductive charging in the field of telephony, but not only.

Varied uses and in different areas

Three automakers (Audi, Toyota and Chevrolet ) were installed in some of their models , a recharge area at the front , on which rests his mobile and is responsible for that motion. In a restaurant in Copenhagen Airport , there are shelves on which you can recharge your mobile（Lenovo S750） . Same in some Starbucks in the United States . In Japan, NTT Docomo has installed 500 charging stations in public places , airports and railway stations. As the Chinese Haier, he devised a work plan that serves induction charging station, where we put the blender , coffeemaker that load and then work wirelessly.
Convenient but a bit slow

Wireless charging by induction course has a very practical side. However, it is 15-20 % slower than conventional charging via a wire .

The world of consumer technology green is more alive than ever, especially with regard to the smartphone. And after the modular concept of the mobile phone（THL W300） as a Lego , comes from Holland the very interesting project of a startup : Fairphone , the smartphone ecological and ethical.

Presented at the London Design Festival , has already Fairphone 15,000 buyers to the " rate" of 325 Euros , which will receive a copy by the end of December. The smartphone is characterized both by the search for materials as recyclable as possible and easy to dispose of , and for the ideas of human sustainability that are the basis of its production.

The leitmotiv of the entire initiative , begun three years ago by the Dutch designer Bas van Abel and today finally translated into a real product , is to realize that the production of a wide- consumption device can never be 100 % eco-friendly , for nature same electronics. However, it is possible to minimize the impact , so that a terminal is environmental- friendly as possible and away from the logic of exploitation . So Fairphone is produced by a factory in China where workers' rights are guaranteed and the salary is fair . In addition, it contains coltan - a mineral essential for the smartphone（Lenovo A760） industry , responsible for wars and real genocide in the Congo - comes from fields far certified by criminal organizations and gangs .

From the point of view of hardware features , Fairphone is a project sight unseen, that is not yet known for certain performances . From the leaked details , it seems that will host the final version available on Android market - so probably 4.3 in December , Android KitKat - and the phone will be dual SIM . Most of the external components are completely recyclable , it will be easy access to internal hardware for home repairs and also the battery is fully removable . The rendering of the first model seems to be very elegant - with alternating shades of gray - and the device seems to fit on the medium-high end of the market.

Fingerprinting: The grandpa of biometrics has a lot traveling for it. It requires basal hardware, it's well-understood, and it's non-invasive. There are a few altered means to accomplish a fingerprint browse in a way that ability be advantageous on a smartphone(Lenovo A390). It’s acute because we’re not just demography a attending online, but we as consumers are alpha to purchase, appeal advice and added from our phones. And we accept to be set up, as businesses, to catechumen in any environment.There's optical scanning, which is basically a agenda camera; capacitance scanning, which measures the minute differences amid electrical stimuli in the ridges and valleys of your fingerprint; and 3-D scanning, which makes a agenda map of your finger, array of like a Microsoft Kinect.

Smartphone makers, abnormally Apple, accept claimed that agencies can’t apprehend the encrypted letters that are beatific amid accessories of the aforementioned blazon (i.e. iMessage and BBM).The QX Smart Lenses are about just a absolutely nice camera lens that hijacks your smartphone (nearly any smartphone) to transform it into a “smart camera” that’s on par with point and shoots. Yes, there is the amount of you still accepting two altered pieces (lens + smartphone) to accumulate up with, but if we’re just talking about photo quality, the QX ability be account it. However, back those letters are beatific through a company-owned server, it is accessible that the NSA could accept admission to them. If Der Spiegel’s address is true, it would be abnormally damaging to BlackBerry, with its able afterward in government.

The new device's above design, able achievement and differentiated UX appearance accept already fabricated a huge appulse on the smartphone users and LG assemblage beyond the globe. It’s no abstruse that designers accept to alpha designing for mobile. With added and added humans starting to browse the web from their phones, web designers accept to get hip to authoritative sites acceptable and arresting on smartphones(Lenovo A850).LG Electronics (LG), the all-around technology innovator in customer electronics and adaptable communications, is all set to transform the smartphone articulation with a new artefact ambit that will conductor in advocate innovations in architecture and features. A bazaar abstraction conducted by an absolute bureau on account of LG has apparent that the avant-garde appearance of the buzz and the architecture accomplish the artefact a ambition accumulation favorite.

The accepted accord advanced of the advertisement of the iPhone 5C was that it would be Apple’s low-end device. That angry out to be wrong. It is Apple’s mid-tier accessory (with the iPhone 4S as the low-end offering).The iPhone 5C will be targeted to the blow of the apple in a above way. But it still ability be too big-ticket at $549 for 16 GB, $649 for 32 GB off-contract. The iPhone 5(Lenovo p770) will be dead off. The acumen for this is acceptable that Apple begin the iPhone 5 to be too big-ticket to body and advertise at the amount point that it would accept to advertise at to be the mid-tier.The atramentous and white models are getting alien to countries alfresco the U.S. The actualization are all the same, alone the colors and akin of personalization are different.

Such a move would advice abode some concise concerns, analysts said, and accord Apple an befalling to dent abroad at the estimated 80 percent all-around bazaar allotment captivated by Google’s battling adaptable operating system, Android. Aside from the custom-ordered appearance, the Moto X actualization a 4.7-inch 720p HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 10-megapixel camera, abutment for assorted LTE networks, and some atypical software actualization that cover bigger articulation commands and richer notifications.Apple has validated, forth with the added smartphone manufacturers, one actual important aspect of smartphone cameras: it is not all about the megapixel.Having a bigger sensor, a bigger lens, capturing added ablaze and accepting software that is optimized appear demography acceptable pictures is bigger than accepting added megapixels. HTC, Motorola and Nokia all accept this. With the iPhone 5S, Apple does too.

Apple is aggressive in markets like China and India with Android smartphones that advertise for fractions of those prices and action agnate capabilities. A little new adorn on the iPhone 5 and abatement in superior of assembly abstracts may not advice Apple in its adventure to bound Android as the globally ascendant adaptable operating system. It costs $199.99 with a new arrangement from AT&T, Sprint or Verizon Wireless. T-Mobile barter accept to acquirement the accessory for the abounding retail amount of $599 anon from Motorola. Motorola aswell makes a atramentous and a white adaptation of the Moto X(Lenovo P780) at its across facilities. “It would add much-needed amplification to the artefact line,” Baker said. “They accept been arena at alone the top end of the bazaar and annihilation in the mid-tier.”

The scene of the IFA although dominated by the big big market does not exclude the presence of small houses oriental launch their products in the market Internazione. It is also very interesting device such as the Chinese company JiaYu has just announced the new G6 6-inch or a smartphone(Lenovo P780) that is introduced in a saturated market.

The G6 is a device JiaYu of all respect, shows a 5.7-inch display Gorilla Glass FULLHD, a quand-core processor and 2GB of Ram Mediatek. All this is coupled to 32GB of internal storage, a rear camera and a front 13megapixel 3MegaPixel. The device draws energy from a battery as well 5000mAh which will ensure a considerable autonomy even in the case of using two SIM card.

In fact, the JiaYu G6 is available with two slots for SIM cards and is therefore very convenient for people who need to be available in two different numbers at the same time. The version of Android(Lenovo A850) on board is now super-oiled 4.2.2, therefore we should not have to find third-rom with Android 4.3 developed by communities such as CyanogenMod.

Siceramente this device interests me a lot although I doubt that you can find it on some Italian store, maybe I might be able to catch him in some shop German or English. But what stops me is the price that is 300 euro, it is a high price for a device of this kind not to mention that it is now possible to find a Nexus 4 to 250 Euros.

In China, Lenovo became the amount two-handset maker afterwards shipment 10.8 actor smartphones in the arena – 95 percent of its absolute 11.3 actor shipments.Sony India affairs to set up a alternation of 200 standalone Xperia food on the franchisee archetypal above the country by the end of this budgetary to advertise its smartphone（THL W300） range. The National Security Agency can reportedly spy anon on smartphones(), according to leaked abstracts from Germany’s Der Spiegel.Smartphone users and aloofness advocates akin will be abashed at this bit of contempo news: German account aperture Der Spiegel is advertisement that the U.S. intelligence community, headed by the National Security Agency, has admission to abstracts stored on all above smartphones, says The Associated Press on Sept 8.

Sales of Sony's Xperia smartphones grew 5 times amid April and August, compared with the year-ago period, while the company's Bravia LED televisions acquaint a 20 per cent growth, according to the company. The aggregation has aswell fabricated an important change in management, authoritative its television business head, Sachin Rai, the arch of the smartphone business. Der Spiegel letters that the NSA can “tap a lot of acute abstracts captivated on these acute phones, including acquaintance lists, SMS traffic, addendum and area advice about area a user has been.”

While the accessory connects to the buzz absolute WiFi, extending the ambit above what Bluetooth is able of, an Android app by Sony - PlayMemories – enables the user to calmly accomplish the camera through the smartphone. With the Xperia Z, Sony absolutely has fabricated appropriate in the top-end smartphone articulation and it's bright that with the Ultra, it wants to go a footfall ahead. With the Ultra, it does beat a lot of boxes of a actual acceptable smartphone(THL W11).It is easier to affix the camera to an NFC-enabled device.Spiegel says they acquired “top abstruse NSA documents” that appearance NSA adequacy to tap into advice captivated aural all three above smartphone brands: Apple iPhones, BlackBerry accessories and Google's Android phones.

You're no doubt aware that the Galaxy Note 3 is the first terminal will be equipped with 3 GB of RAM, however, is not the only unique feature of this smartphone（Lenovo p770） because it is also the first mobile phone to be equipped with a micro USB 3.0 port for file transfer as well as charging the battery terminal. A version which in practice does not add much, but still offers many advantages in theory.

First, we can mention the speed of file transfer to be on the rise, though of course, your PC is compatible with USB 3.0. In theory, this speed can be up to 4.8 Gb / s while USB 2.0 only provides a speed of 480 Mb / s on paper. As a reminder, the USB 1.0 only offered a speed of 12 Mb / s.

Then, the speed of loading of the battery will also increase as a micro USB port 3.0 offers a capacity of 900 mAh (while USB 2.0 provides only 500 mAh) so that your Galaxy Note 3 is loaded very quickly although it is connected to a PC. In addition, if you want a quick download, you can still use the old socket ...

Finally, if you have lost the original cable that can charge your Galaxy Note 3, or if you forget, you can also use the standard micro USB to charge your device safely cable.

On the other hand, still in the launch of the Galaxy Note and Galaxy 3 Gear, Samsung（Lenovo A760） has also launched a microsite in order to better present these two products. This site includes, among others, the technical specifications of these two devices, as well as different color options will be available in their lettings.

In their own homes replace iPhone and Co. frequently the computer shows an Accenture study . For better network coverage , the Germans are even willing to dig deeper into their pockets.

The smartphone boom continues : 45 percent of Internet users who do not have a smartphone want to purchase one within the next twelve months .

Online users can access in their own homes and more rare with the PC or laptop to the Internet. During the past year more than nine out of ten onliners have used their home computer for surfing, there are only 85 percent this year .

This is the result of representative study " Mobile Web Watch 2013," the consulting firm Accenture. The results of the investigation are the " world" exclusive.

"Smartphones and tablets at home often replace the computer ," explains Jürgen Morath , Technology expert and CEO of Accenture . In fact, Internet use with the smartphone(Lenovo A390) , the study found increases sharply within a year by a fifth.

70 percent of Internet users use the Internet on their phones , last year it was only 50 percent. Already one in five Internet users with its tablet line , almost as many have connected their game console to the network.

Smartphone boom continues

The use of mobile devices in their own homes is also increasing. Almost every second respondent goes with the smartphone or tablet more than once per day on the Internet .

The smartphone boom will continue , according to the study: 45 percent of Internet users who do not have a smartphone want to purchase one within the next twelve months .

" Was there last flat rates for mobile operators due to few other distinguishing features , are currently on consumer characteristics such as network coverage , call quality and speed more important again ," said technology expert Morath .

Internet speed is important

95 percent of surveyed Internet users place great value on a wide-ranging coverage, for almost as many users are a good call quality and connection speed important. In fact, all network operators are currently investing to make their networks for mobile internet usage faster .

Apparently, this user also willing to pay more money. Thus, 41 percent of respondents would spend € 15 or more for a significantly faster mobile Internet access .

Although this increases the demand on the network operator , but the loyalty decreases towards them. Well every four users, it does not matter who provides them voice and video calling , messaging and other services .

Network operators lose dominance

Nearly ten percent of the respondents could even imagine to obtain their telecommunications package from a provider of social networks. Only slightly less would choose a device or operating system manufacturer as a supplier . " Mobile providers are no longer as dominant perceived by customers as in the past ," says Accenture .

As before, the mobile phone(Lenovo A760) is rarely used for mobile payments . Only ten percent of respondents in Germany , according to the survey use such services. " Mobile payments still waiting for the breakthrough ," said Morath .

Thus, the payment will be attractive to customers via smartphone , the solutions to the telecom companies and other providers would be much easier to handle.

Wiko added two new smartphones to its lineup: the Stairway and the Darkside. The first is a 5-inch model, while the second is even greater because it comes with a screen of 5.7 inches. Both are dual SIM (compatible with up to 42 Mb / s) and is Android 4.2.1 (Jelly Bean) which animates the whole. They begin to appear at retail for less than 300 €.

Wiko is back and adds two new smartphones（THL W300 ） that are already mentioned in recent weeks. After peax 2, the brand continues to effect its upmarket and now offers two behemoths 5 and 5.7 inches, and the Stairway Darkside, which appear less than 300 € as shown LDLC or Material net. example.
Stairway: a false air of Galaxy SIII with a 13 megapixel camera sensor

The first tunes Galaxy SIII except it lacks the "Home" hardware button. Strapping the screen is made of aluminum, which gives it a better finish. Side characteristics, we are dealing with an IPS panel with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The SoC is a model carrying four Cortex-A7 at 1.2 GHz (a MediaTek?), Accompanied by 1GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. The latter can be expanded via a microSD card reader (up to an additional 32 GB).

Stairway wiko

Two light sensors / video are in the game with 5-megapixel front and 13 megapixel rear. An LED flash will assist in taking pictures in low light. As usual with Wiko, we have the right to a dual slot for SIM cards and one of the two networks support up to 42 Mb / s. From Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth are also part and an A-GPS and an FM tuner.

Its dimensions are 144.5 x 73 x 9 mm and weighs 164 grams, which includes a battery of 2000 mAh. Wiko announced that autonomy is 19.68 hours talk time and 15.31 hours on 3G. The question is whether these figures are confirmed in practice.

While Android 4.3（THL W8S ） has been out for a month now, it's Android 4.2.1 (Jelly Bean) who is in charge of animating this smartphone. The DAS is itself of 0.563 W / kg, which is rather low average. It is proposed that for a little more than € 250 in the best case.
Darkside: aluminum finish and a giant screen

Turning to the second model, the Darkside. It almost takes the same data sheet for a few details. What changes is the IPS screen which is 5.7 inches while the definition remains the same: 1280 x 720 pixels. The design also seems to be working because we have the right to an aluminum hull, a first for the brand.
 
Wiko Darkside

The interior is almost identical except that the optical sensor from 13 to 12 megapixels, the memory card reader is lost and the battery goes to 2600 mAh. Side autonomy, the arrival of a large screen feels since the right to 17 hours talk time and 10.5 hours on 3G. The SAR is almost like speaking of 0.565 W / kg. The weight of the unit is 194 grams with dimensions of 161 x 82.5 x 9.3 mm. Finally, it is also more expensive since it is found just below € 300 in Materiel.net and for a few euros even less LDLC.
Availability side, we note that it is currently pre-orders, but it comes to a finish in the stocks in a few days.

Foreign manufacturers have continued to fall on the local mobile phone market in the second quarter of this year, with a combined share that dropped to only 5%.

According to industry figures, the iPhone from Apple Inc. have included 3.6% of handset sales in the Korean market in the period April-June 2013, while units of Chinese companies reached 1.4%. The three manufacturers of the country, Samsung Electronics Co., LG Electronics Inc. and Pantech Co., have appropriated the rest.Lenovo S750

Apple's share in Korea yet was 8.5% in the last half of last year, thanks to the release of the iPhone 5. She then narrowed to 6.2% in the first half of the year.

Some industry observers analyze the foreign brands are losing ground in the domestic market because most phones sold in the country are upscale. At the same time, many foreign brands have withdrawn from the market or planning to do so due to poor business results.

The BlackBerry Canadian dream of leaving the domestic market currently dominated by the first two smartphone manufacturers in the world, Samsung Electronics and Apple. Motorola Mobility announced last December its intention to terminate its mobile business in Korea. In July 2012, Taiwan's HTC Corp. also announced its plan to close its office in Seoul because of plummeting sales.Lenovo P780

The Asian manufacturer Oppo has just announced a new Android smartphone that allows the user to choose between Android overlay manufacturer or a clean version of Android. A first which is already emulated.

And if, instead of offering smartphones do not allow users to choose the version of Android they want, manufacturers of smartphones offered in dual-boot devices, which allow you to choose between Android overlay manufacturer and refined version of Android? The idea seems to have attracted the Asian manufacturer Oppo, which offers a dual-boot Android smartphone to 269 €.

The device seems to be generally fairly well equipped, with an 8 megapixel sensor, a 2-megapixel webcam, 16GB of storage space, a MediaTek quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 Ghz, 1GB of RAM and a screen 4 7 "display 720p resolution. In short, a mid-range smartphone pretty decent, which could attract a large number of users.Lenovo p770

Launch in September with, hopefully, a great success in the key, which may push other manufacturers to choose between the overlay and the edited version of Android.

The BlackBerry was once the status symbol of businessmen. But but the once successful smartphone manufacturers missed the connection to the wiper and As-generation of modern mobile phones（THL W8 Beyond）. Now, the company embarks on a search for "strategic options," as the company announced today.
 
For the company, thus gives two possibilities: either you find a partner or a buyer. Until the end of Janaury, the Group had renamed for image reasons of Research in Motion (RIM) in Blackberry. An internal committee is to clarify how to proceed with the former leader. A potential partner could also be the ailing computer maker Dell. In the past, but Facebook were sometimes even been mentioned as a possible buyer.
BlackBerry needs a larger market share to its new operating system 10 in the fight against Apple, Samsung and co still can have a chance. The times when every other smartphone was a Blackberry in the U.S. is definitely behind anyway. According to figures from market researcher IDS end of last year it was not even one in twenty.
 
BlackBerry has enacted a radical restructuring program with the restart as a brand and at the same time but increased the marketing budget. New devices such as the BlackBerry Z10（THL W100） and Q10 will boost demand again. Back in March, the campaigns were underway for the devices. The creation was by AMV BBDO based in London, BBDO Proximity (Dusseldorf) has taken over the adaptation of Germany.

It is certain that the Pantech brand is not a brand that comes to mind when automatic we plan to buy a smartphone. But can it will be changed, because this firm based in South Korea announced a device quite noticeable in the market for high-end smartphones of the moment.

One of the major advantages of this smartphone will be marketed under the name of Pantech Vega LTE-A is its connection LTE-A. In reality, only the Galaxy S4 LTE-A benefit in this time of very high-speed connection, where the future development of this sector by the manufacturers. By cons, it is worth noting that only South Korea and some parts of Russia offer this connection that allows up to 3 times more flow compared to the classic 4G LTE connection. Indeed, the rate rises to download 100MB / s to 300MB / s, which is still impressive on a Smartphone.THL W9

From a technical point of view, the Pantech Vega LTE-A is more or less similar to high-end smartphones that have come out this fall. For cons, the selling points of this device are its connection LTE-A, and the fingerprint reader. It is actually a reminder that rumors about such a fingerprint reader on the back of the LG G2 always fuse on the canvas, but Pantech beat LG offering a fingerprint module on the back of its latest smartphone.THL W8 Beyond

The Pantech Vega LTE-A has a screen of 5.6 inches with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (1 080p). Under the hood, the device offers a Snapdragon SoC 800 quad-core 2.3 GHz, and will run on Android 4.2.2. Referring to the characteristics of the device, the device class rather alongside future Galaxy Note 3 and HTC One Max.THL W200

Normally the Pantech Vega LTE-A will be launched in South Korea in the middle of the month of August, before perhaps touch European soil. So you think that the Pantech Vega is a tough opponent against the Galaxy Note 3 to be formalized next September as the HTC One Max.

It was only a matter of time. HTC is currently preparing the One Max, a model "size" of its smartphone 2013 meeting a great success. The Taiwanese manufacturer has already announced a mini version there is a little less than a month. He whispered for some time that HTC will launch a phablet. A photo released by ePrice seems to confirm the claim. The device features a 5.9 inch screen (against 4.7 inches for One, 4.3-inch Mini One). The Max One and rival series Samsung Galaxy Note. Other competitors are already on the market "giant" screen for a smartphone, including the Sony Xperia Z Ultra.THL W11 Monkey King

ePrice who has been reliable in the past, announced two models. The first "standard" that is, the international model. The second is dedicated to the Chinese market with a dual SIM to put two SIM cards in the same phone. The site the opportunity to give the general characteristics; attention, we do not know if it's standard or Chinese model. However, they should be roughly equivalent to each other. The HTC Max One is advertised to have a screen of 5.9 inches with a resolution 1080p (1920 × 1080), a Snapdragon processor clocked at 2.3 GHz 800, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of storage. The "BoomSound" system is always there to provide excellent audio quality. A MicroSD card reader is present on the Chinese model.THL W100

In addition, the battery is 3300 mAh, enough to hold many hours. For its part, the camera is identical to the One (UltraPixel sensor on the back, 2.1 megapixel front). The software, although not announced, should be Android 4.2. Indeed, although version 4.3 is output, HTC has not yet adapted to its terminals. For now, we do not know the date of announcement and even less its release date.

Samsung Galaxy S4 is undoubtedly the flagship of the moment: the attention, however, in the coming months, is likely to go beyond this device, or to his successor, the Samsung Galaxy S5.

The next smartphone is much talk, because its production and presentation elicits at least one main question: will the Samsung Galaxy S5, just like the Samsung Galaxy S4 to keep up with the times, with a revolutionary with which sbariagliare the competition?

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is certainly shining for its ancillary features such as eye tracking or smart breaks: the strength of the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be, however, the RAM. In contrast to the 2 GB of its predecessor, with the new device, we will move to 3 GB. Samsung, in fact, has just confirmed the start of production of components with 3 GB of RAM which would, inter alia, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

The differences may be significant compared to that seen Samsung Galaxy S4（THL W100）, the new memory from 3 GB thus produced, should be thinner with obvious consequences on the design of the device, and much more, even more efficient from an energy point of view.

Rumors encouraging, therefore, that also affect the timing of the next launch: the Samsung Galaxy S4, in fact, it could lose the scepter of top of the range in May. Sources increasing number of ceremonies would give, now, for the presentation of certain Samsung Galaxy S5 in this month, more than a year after the launch of its predecessor.

With the Lumia Nokia 1020 brings a smartphone that clearly stands out from the crowd. Unlike other high-priced high-end devices, it does not lay so much emphasis on the best technical smartphone features, but focuses more on a different area: photography.

It is the high quality camera with Nokia's own camera app that makes this Windows 8 Smartphone and mobile Snapshot lets hunters' mouths water. With the Nokia Lumia 1020 has redefined the smartphone camera: With its combination of raw image capture performance and good short-range capabilities, the 1020 is one of the smartphones with the very high artistic potential. Our American colleagues have already had occasion to test the Lumia 1020 already extensively.ThL W8S

If we throw away our compact camera and instead leave us again Lumia 1020? For everyday use and weekend events - absolutely. The Lumia 1020 is extremely comfortable and makes for smartphone ratios excellent images that reach the good quality compact cameras.

But based on our CNET tests and Nokia still has a lot to do before a smartphone can replace a quality standalone camera. Even if one Lumia 1020 any time may call for snapshots - the first birthday of the child despite all the progress we would not want to stick with the Lumia 1020.THL W8

German price comparison services list the three colors (white, black and yellow) of the Nokia Lumia 1020 currently with prices starting from € 695, it is available but still nowhere. Including contract prices start for the smartphone with a € (Vodafone), 339 euros (O2) and 149 € (T-Mobile). The price of the device itself is certainly quite high for casual users. Such users are probably better off with the 200 euro devices class (or even cheaper), since their high resolution photo and video shooting quite sufficient for this user group. Serious photographers will appreciate the 2-in-1 capabilities of the Lumia in 1020, however.

While the latest OS updates are often deemed to burden the system, the latest version of Android seems instead to resolve some problems of delays suffered by the Nexus 7.

Google Nexus Remember, it was a few weeks ago: many Nexus 7 first generation were subjected to a progressive degeneration without the owner can do about much: massive slowdowns, crashes, impossible to launch applications Since ... the "scandal" was a little packed, but the worries of performance always seemed present. Fortunately, this "Nexusgate" could have ended with the arrival of the update to Android 4.3.

Several users report indeed a real improvement in the performance of their tablet since the installation of 4.3, which is partly due to the arrival of the TRIM function: it allows Android （PIPO M9 3G）to better manage the removal of data blocks flash memory used for storage, indicating the controller which are no longer used. The result is a faster access to data storage, and so much less slowdowns. In short, if you are the proud owner of a Nexus 7 and you have not yet gone under 4.3 Jelly Bean, run do: it is free and it can only do good. For our part, the copy of the editorial 'having always been very fast, we did not notice any significant performance improvement.

Google predicted that digital searches of hotels in the United States grow 24% overall in 2013, but within this trend includes a rise of 68% in queries from mobile and 4% drop in PCs originated The After a study of Adobe Systems Inc. discloses that point to the actual signals for tablets.

Google study indicated that in addition 68% growth in mobile satellite search, the tablets showed an increase of 180%.

Meanwhile, the report of Adobe Systems Inc., with reference measurements hotel sector (Hotel Benchmarking Metrics) found that visits are leaning in favor of tablets.

The study analyzed more than 300 million visits to 31 websites hoteliers around the world in the fourth quarter of 2012 (80% of them in the U.S.), and found that about one sixth of traffic to those sites came from mobile devices . Tablets represented in turn, 60% of the visits phones.

Globally, the report notes that in the fourth quarter of 2012 tablets accounted for 58% of total hotel site visits and mobile phones 41%, while 1% were other devices.

With the use of tablets and smartphones increase, consumer behaviors of each of these types of devices are becoming more different.

According to the study, site navigation with tablets is similar to the PC that made smartphones. The latter tends to run in search of last minute travel situations.

This trend is visible in searches for hotels: According to the study by Adobe, tablet users spend more time in the hotel websites, watching an average of 4.9 pages per visit, about the same as PC users , according to the fourth quarter of 2012.PIPO M9

Meanwhile, in their search for hotels, mobile users watched an average of 3.4 pages per visit.

The release of the Nokia Lumia 625 with its 4.7 inch could accelerate this slim yet credible hope that future Windows Phone could be phablettes one day. Maybe. Indeed, in size, we're not so far away after all. The rumors were legions lately. It is not close to being finished.

On the Chinese site Weibo, one user posted an image on screen Nokia Lumia over 6 inches. Which would place it in the new prototype "phablette" box unequivocal. Little information to support this picture. So to say, not at all. We can still see the Nokia（THL W100） logo and representative keys Windows Phone. Without further.

That would make the tiles, right? Then, of course, just the interface (and its four columns) current would be a little hard to imagine. So, it would not be possible, probably before the GDR3 not arrived and offers its supposed compatibility

The Medion Life S63075 (MD 83166) is a cordless telephone with digital answering machine. The lightweight and low-profile device section in our test in December 2011 with an overall score 2.6 (satisfactory) and from that came eleventh in 17 cordless phones. Compared to 2011, the price has now fallen for five euros. Aldi offers for the phone standard three-year warranty.
Mediocre voice quality, good handling

However, the voice quality is satisfactory, sufficient only in hands-free mode. The answering machine can record sounds moderate and only 15 minutes. The commissioning of the device but works good - menu display and keypad can be operated well also. Dealing with the answering machine is not only directly at the unit simple, but also remotely.
Bluetooth, SMS and conferences

Using Bluetooth, the phone can connect up to two phones. This allows the owner to accept the Medion device calls made on his mobile phone. Also, selecting the external ports on the own phone number is possible with the cordless phone. Just like a mobile phone can send and receive the SMS device. The phone allows for both a three-party conference as well as the change between two parties, the so-called blemishes.

Versatility but only satisfactory

Some important features missing when Aldi device: On Stranger numbers can not be locked ("Blacklist" function), your own phone number can not be suppressed by menu setting. A night mode is also not available. In addition, users can connect a headset to the phone.
Special battery may disadvantage

The cordless phone has a special battery pack. This complicates the search for a replacement if the supplied battery becomes weak or breaks. If the battery is fully charged after 12 hours rich, he holds the phone by 12 hours. In standby mode, the battery provides 12.5 days. Turns the owner of the particularly low-radiation Eco Mode on, the standby time is reduced to 4.5 days. By fall, thanks to frequent charging Eco Mode so on more current costs. In standby mode the power consumption is therefore only satisfactory - but overall the Medion device is very energy efficient.
The conclusions of the testers

The cordless phone from Aldi Nord it provides only into the midfield this product group. The voice quality is only satisfactory in hands-free mode even just adequate. The handling, however, radio-tioned well. The equipment is satisfactory overall - features like Bluetooth and the Conference Mode drop it positively. Another advantage: The three-year warranty. However, one drawback is the battery - the capacity is average, it also is a special battery pack, making it difficult to purchase replacement in case of damage.THL W8 Beyond

Facewbook for Every Phone

The announcement came from Facebook itself, which indicated that 100 million active users use Facebook through mobile basic application used Facebook for Every Phone.

The application Facebook for Every Phone was created in 2011 to try to take advantage of all mobile devices available, particularly in emerging markets where these devices are very common. The basic cell phones are phones that allow access to the internet, but are not smartphones.THL W100

So Facebook decided that this application would be important to add more users to the social network, which posted an excellent mark of 100 million users who access at least once a month through this application.

The purpose of this application is not making money in the short term. As these basic cell phones are very common in developing countries, Facebook ensures the use of social network already, which ensures that in the future will also continue to use the social network, possibly other more advanced devices taking into account recent developments in the countries .

Facebook for Every Phone includes several features present in the application for smartphones such as News Feed, Messenger functionality, search of friends and photos. This application uses small amounts of traffic and there are even partnerships between Facebook and some holes operators in these countries, where the use of Facebook is completely free. The strategy for emerging countries is clear just by looking at most of the countries that offers free access through this application. Portuguese operator TMN also offers free access through this application.THL W200

In recent days we have witnessed several incidents with mobile phones. A girl was electrocuted when answering a call while your phone, Iphone, was charging. Another case is that of Swiss boy who suffered burns after the explosion of the phone Galaxy 3.

We thought we were at specific cases and unique but it is not. The Committee for Safety of U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has said that his country only 61 cases have been reported in which mobile phones have caught fire, exploded or widened since 2011.

The mobile phone has become the inseparable friend of many. We came with the purchase, the bathroom, the beach or even sleep under our pillow. Now we wonder whether we should put land in between, not live so close to the phones and ask why I can operate the phone?.

The coach, Jake Earp, explains that "lithium batteries traditionally used in most cell phones if they are overloaded widen, because the gases inside start to expand. They push the motherboard out of the phone and sometimes, break the back of the casing of this ", so I picked up the U.S. network CBS. He adds that after the first year of use and can not leave a phone charging for all night and go to sleep, it causes deterioration of the battery.THL W9

The danger is in the batteries and chargers, many of them poorly manufactured. CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson, said that most of these come from China, a country that "to cooperate fully regarding the safety of consumers." Xiang Ligang, telecommunications expert, said the Chinese channel CCTV false chargers can overheat and let skin burn or even explode. A poorly manufactured charger allows us to use low-voltage converters quality, but at the time when an error occurs, are downloaded 220 volts on the person trying to plug the device.

Although it is recommended not to use the phone while charging it is not a rule, because if so, the instruction manuals should talk about it. The batteries overheating is not only related to fake devices, there are also cases in which original batteries suffer irreversible damage.THL W8 Beyond

Other recommendations to prevent heating of our batteries and subsequent explosion would not forget the device in the car on a very hot day, keep away from heat, avoid taking the phone with wet hands, respond in the rain, among other tips.

The figures for the second quarter fell and the picture is not all rosy for Intel. The PC market is not at its best and major players in the industry are paying the price. the company sees its profit decline by almost 30% and reduced its sales forecast for 2013.


With ever lower sales, the PC market is wrong. In the second quarter, the computer giant Intel saw its net profit fall 29.3% to $ 2 billion, after a sharp decline from 27% in the first quarter. Yesterday, investors were highly disappointed When Intel has lowered its 2013 forecast. The company anticipates a stable activity for the rest of the year, or about $ 53.3 billion, but minimizes its growth in terms of turnover. The gross margin of the company from 60% to 59% and R & D sees his reduced $ 200 million budget. After a decline in profits of 2% in the second quarter, Intel expects a turnover of $ 13.5 billion in the next quarter.ONDA V972

The company continues to slip and meeting new challenges for sticking to its forecast level. Still, Intel did not give up and put on a new range of Haswell chips designed especially for ultrathin laptops as well as tablet PC hybrid. The idea is to stimulate demand in a victim market success of mobile devices. The company therefore follows the trend of sales of computers that so far has no dynamics. Revenues related to the PC market, which account for nearly two-thirds of sales from Intel, experienced a decline of 7.5% compared to 2012.

Side mobility, the company hopes to fare better. Intel is already present in the tablets GalaxyTab 3 and Brian Krzanich, the new CEO of the company, has sought reassurance by stating that such products qu'Haswell show a strong improvement in performance and battery life. Appointed in May Krzanich said he wanted to go where the growth is, that is to say, the mobile market (read: Intel focuses on mobility and leaves the door open for ARM).

Nokia mobile phone gives the impression that the straight keyboard design, it is not true, there are many Nokia flip phone, but many of them are important class models. Nokia flip phone, the author's favorite and most historical significance is the Nokia N90, Nokia 2005, the first aircraft was launched three N series phone a, N series phones Nokia's meaning is a bit like Samsung now The GALAXY series, and N9X models is quite Today GALAXY S3, S4 is so important, for it was Nokia, N series is like the release of the imperial crown to his coronation as causing others to surrender.

 Nokia N90 deserved to become the king of those years, N90 use with Sharp 902SH similar biaxial rotating screen design, while N90 camera on the side of the fuselage, and the same can rotate, flip phone than the Japanese design more daring. And While this camera is 200 million pixels, but also Carl Zeiss (Carl Zeiss) Optical certification. Compared Sharp 903SH, N90 a big advantage is the use of intelligent systems Symbian (Symbian time or intelligent systems), more scalable. 

Unfortunately, the N90 is not licensed launched in China, but in 2006, the launch of the THL W100 is the right response to the needs of domestic consumers, huge body with twisted chain N93 clamshell so keep them coming back is definitely more than 100%, the camera Upgrading to 3.2 million, and 3x optical zoom, Sharp fans some can not calm, and then launched N93i is purely appearance facelift models. Nokia N93/93i is N9x series in the last clamshell models, followed by the launch of a slider design models.

Described above N9x series targeting high-end, while the body size and weight are not the average consumer is willing to accept, so Nokia is also designed to push small fresh N75 and N76. N75 only foreign carriers custom models, domestic sales are not licensed, attention is not high. N75 is very different with N76, I believe many of my friends are impressed on the phone, especially female friends.

It can be said clamshell smartphone Nokia N76 is the most successful product, of course, in addition to the top of the fuselage plug in headphones, flip this point can not be completely open, the other is good.

On 23 May, Samsung announced the happy news that they had managed to reach 10 million units of Samsung Galaxy S4(Cables & Adapters) and now, a little later than one month from the date we receive information from Korea where they announce that they have achieved double this figure, ie, which have reached 20 million units sold in its current flagship.

The 20 million units of the Samsung Galaxy S4 correspond to actual sales throughout the world, as a report says. Apparently, J. K. Shin, the CEO of the South Korean company, have confirmed that figure to journalists, but the truth is we still have not made an official press release by the company, which is expected to see the light soon, in which also is expected to clarify the doubts and concerns raised about the potential of the Samsung Galaxy S4(samsung phone charger), the flagship of the company this year.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the fastest Android smartphone has been sold

The information comes from the hand of Yonhap News website, which have reported that in the market there are currently over 20 million Samsung Galaxy S4. It is certainly a great turnover, fully expect something considering that it is a pretty powerful device, which seems to be born to break records, is that when compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S3, It took 100 days to achieve sales of 20 million. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S4(Galaxy S I9000 Cases) is the device with Android OS is fastest selling in history green android system.

But on the other hand do not forget that despite being a device that has received a great sales figures in a short period of time, in recent weeks there has been a significant drop in orders to supply the components responsible for the development of the device. Still, the Samsung Galaxy S4 shows no sign of weakness, it is seen most strongly in the market is that far down or stagnant sales, they have continued to rise gradually to achieve double the 10 million who managed to sell in their first month of life.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, version 'adventurous' Galaxy S4, and takes a while among us, so it was high time to face this smartphone resistant to dust and water to another stress test, that of his of his battery. With a rating of IP67 for resistance to penetration of solids and strangers, as well as immersion in water, the Galaxy S4 Active is unlike his brother in some subtle details will they be just as subtle differences in the duration of their respective batteries?

Like the Galaxy S4, the Active mounts a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset with quad-core(Samsung Galaxy Accessories) Krait 600 300 to 1.9 gigahertz and 2600 milliampere hour battery. The is possibly the main difference - beyond povlo and water resistance, of course - is on the screen as usual while the Galaxy S4 rides a Super AMOLED screen five inches, while agreeing in the Active some respects different size as that is TFT.

Test results

The test duration and battery endurance have made gsmarena guys who have quantified the number of hours that hold the smartphone in call, browsing the Internet or playing video before it is completely depleted battery. Similarly, a study made of the same resistance, citing the hours measurement method would take the battery to run out if every day we would make a call an hour, were sailing for another 60 minutes Red finally dedicate ourselves the while playing videos.

As for the endurance of the battery talk time, 16 hours and 40 minutes of Galaxy S4 Active - 80 minutes less than the Galaxy S4(samsung galaxy s4 accessories) - are somewhat disappointing for a device designed for a user profile adventurer who, most likely, need the conversation as long as possible if you are in the woods or in the mountains, where probably sail less online or not engage in play the same number of videos in a normal situation.

With regard to the time it takes to consume battery in Galaxy S4 Active Web surfing - seven hours and 35 minutes, the difference with his brother is only 10 minutes of endurance, so that is irrelevant though that having different screens could make a priori believe otherwise.

If the differences are more noticeable on-screen battery life for video playback. While battery version dust and water resistant withstood seven hours and three minutes of the Super AMOLED screen device went until 12 hours. This result, although it can be understood by most screen brightness Active, not less striking.

Finally, the test of strength with reference to the commitment of an hour a day for each of the three actions based on the test - make calls, Internet browsing and video playback - shows the battery of Samsung Galaxy Active S4(cover case for samsung galaxy note 2) will hold a total of 57 hours until you need to go back to being plugged into the mains.

In short: while battery Samsung Galaxy S4 Active throws a good time call them normal situations, perhaps we would have expected a greater duration of the call time, to understand which will be the most needed service to the user profile that seems destined this smatphone of the South Korean firm.

The tablet of the South Korean manufacturer offers more functions. But the mini iPad still has significant advantages

Shelves by the dozens. Soon a week goes by, almost, without Samsung announced the upcoming sale of new tablets. In early June, the company announced this summer three tablets(PIPO Tablet PC) Galaxy Tab 3 of 7, 8 and 10.1 inches diagonally, running with Android. And last week, the South Korean manufacturer introduces two new running Windows 8, top models, including a convertible tablet with under the screen, a physical keyboard - both will be available in mid-August.

Let us already what could be the hit of 2013 for Samsung tablet Galaxy Note 8.0. Presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, where she had made a strong impression, the tablet is a direct competitor of the Apple iPad mini(Hyundai T7S). The firm Tim Cook may tremble in one year, its share of the tablet market has collapsed from 60% to 40% in the first quarter of 2013, while that of rival South Korea progressed from 11.3 % to 17.9%, according to estimates from IDC. On the tablet market small, compare side by side the two rival devices.

First impression - iPad mini advantage

On this type of device, the weight is essential. And the Samsung tablet (331 grams) is significantly less than the iPad mini light (312 grams). It is not clear why Samsung Galaxy Note with its 8.0 plastic edges around the screen twice as thick as the iPad mini. The back of the device, slightly rounded at the camera sensor does not advocate either for the Samsung tablet, just like the plastic shell. Therefore clear advantage in this area, the Apple panel.

The screen - benefit Galaxy Note 8.0

In terms of screen size, the two are very close, the mini iPad (7.9 inches) is slightly smaller than its rival (8 inches or 20.3 cm). The resolution of the Apple device (1024 x 768 pixels) is below that of Samsung (1280 x 800), which gives it a higher number of pixels per inch (189 against 163). So advantage for Samsung, since Apple does not yet have a mini iPad - first generation - the screen says "Retina" iPad of its "classic", which is in its fourth generation. In terms of brightness, the Galaxy Tab 8.0 is far ahead with a score of 445 cd/m2, against 330 for the iPad mini. 

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a tablet(ONDA V801) August 3 smaller than its big brother, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in March. As its name suggests, has an 8-inch screen, but we know a little more of its characteristics.

Specifications

In the section of the chambers, we find two. The 5-megapixel rear and 1.3 megapixel front is useful for video calls.

Connectivity is fairly complete, understanding Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and 4G/LTE also a model. It also has a USB 2.0 port and GPS with support for GLONASS satellites.

As other features highlight the presence of a battery of 4450 mAh, slightly less than its big brother. As Android 4.2.2(PIPO S1) operating system and will come with the usual interface Samsung TouchWiz Nature. In addition, the tablet has 3.5 mm audio jack and stereo speakers.

How could it be otherwise, will also come inside and integrated applications specific to Samsung, as ChatON, Samsung Hub and all we know.

Tablets and touch-screen notebooks will give a helping hand to the PC (Ramos W21 Quad Core)industry in the coming years, according to NPD DisplaySearch.

Shipments of mobile PCs are forecast to reach 762.7 million globally by 2017, up from 367.6 million last year, according to an NPD report released Monday. Most of that growth will come about as tablets replace traditional notebooks as the dominant device and as touch screens wend their way to more notebooks.

For the purposes of its report, NPD DisplaySearch classifies a tablet as another type of PC rather than as a separate, unrelated device.

"The mobile PC industry is undergoing significant change this year," NPD DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim said in a statement. "The rapid rise and establishment of white box tablet PCs (tablets made by small local brands, mainly in China) is putting pressure on traditional notebook PCs. These low-cost tablets(Onda v701 dual core) are reaching further into emerging regions where notebook PC penetration rates have remained low, resulting in cannibalization by tablet PCs."
Tablet shipments are projected to hit 579.4 million by 2017, up from 256.5 million this year -- a 126 percent increase. By contrast, notebook shipments are likely to drop to 183.3 million in 2017 from 203.3 million in 2013 -- a 10 percent decline. However, shipments of touch-screen notebooks will surge by 48 percent from this year to next year.

Touch screens among notebooks will be found mainly in ultraslim notebooks, otherwise known as ultrabooks, according to the report. Ultrabooks now account for around 66 percent of all touch-enabled notebooks. But that number will shoot up to 80 percent by 2017. Intel, for example, has stated that any ultrabook powered by its new Haswell processor must include a touch screen.PIPO Tablet PC

Microsoft has geared Windows 8 toward touch-screen devices as well as traditional PCs. But the latest version of Windows won't play a big role in convincing consumers to go touch screen, says NPD DisplaySearch. Rather, touch-screen demand will be driven by lower price tags and different types of devices, including hybrids, convertibles, and sliders.

"Thus far, Windows 8 has had a limited impact on driving touch adoption in notebook PCs, due to a lack of applications needing touch and the high cost of touch on notebook PCs," Shim said. "Form factors aimed at differentiation from standard clamshell notebooks will help to drive consumer adoption of touch-enabled notebook PCs, starting in the second half of 2013."

The competition in tablet market is becoming intense. Here is a short Acer Iconia A1 vs Google Nexus 7 vs iPad Mini specs comparison(ICOO D50)

The midsize Android tablet market is getting yet another low-cost device. It is from the Taiwanese PC maker Acer this time. Following HP, Asus and Samsung's recent members to the lineup, what comes up is Acer's Iconia A1, an inexpensive Android slate with a pack of decent specs. However, apart from the low price factor, there is no unique selling point with this Acer machine. With a price of $169, it is priced as much as HP Slate 7, Lenovo IdeaTab A6000 and Amazon Kindle Fire.

Acer Iconia A1 tablet sports a 7.9-inch display as equal to iPad Mini. But like Nexus 7, it draws juice from a quad core CPU, which is missing on a series of Nexus 7 rivals like the Asus Fonepad and Samsung's brand new Galaxy Tab 3 (PIPO U1Pro tablet)(7.0). The still unspecified processor of the Acer tablet is to offer a clock speed of 1.2GHz, which is more than enough for a midsize tablet. Digging more into its innards, you can see 1GB RAM and either 8GB or 16GB of internal memory.

"It may be a direct competitor to the Nexus 7, but the A1 feels for all the world like the iPad mini," says The Verge. Well, it is a sensible comment because along with placing it a key rival to Nexus 7, Acer has taken a deliberate move to plant it as an indirect rival to iPad Mini, which hasn't made any big impact in midsize tablet market, though. It has the same 7.9-inch 1024 x 768 screen, same 4:3 aspect ratio and a similar feel. Maybe, it can be called as a cheap iPad Mini, which comes for over $300.

"It's relatively light and thin, and impressively responsive for such an inexpensive tablet," The Verge further adds. Acer is known for its craft in building low price gadgets with the shine of premium devices. Other key attributes of the new Acer tablet include a built-in 3G connectivity in addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0,(Ampe A78) a 5MP rear camera for 1080p video recording and 0.3MP front camera for video chatting. It is announced to run the most recent Android Jelly Bean 4.2 out of the box.

For expanding memory from the built-in capacities of 8GB or 16GB, it has microSD slot. HDMI port, gyroscope and GPS are also included into the pack as part of making the device further user-friendly and powerful. Going through its specs, we can say with surety that the Iconia A1 can outshine many of its rivals even including the Nexus 7, thanks to its large screen advantage. By the time, except for some attractive specs, the tab can also provide an awesome experience with a pair of gesture controls.

Those gesture controls perfectly fit with Acer's 'Touch' theme. If you press five fingers onto the device screen while it is switched off, it will wake up and automatically open an app you prefer. Another tap using your thumbs on the screen will open it and launch yet another app. But, according to The Verge team that went hands-on with the tablet, the touch gestures took a few seconds to start the purported actions.

The $169 price tag is quite amazing. That price is brilliant for a device that mounts a quad core CPU and a 7.9-inch display. Nexus 7 starts at $199, making it slightly expensive to the equally powerful Iconia A1. By the way, there is a talk that Google is working with Asus to get going its plan to release a second upgrade to Nexus 7, which will likely come with a slightly bigger display in order to put it as a direct rival to iPad Mini. In brief, Acer Iconia A1 is a strong rival to both iPad Mini and Nexus 7 alike.

Android tablets have overtaken Apple's iPad to take the majority of tablet market share.

Tablets powered by Google's Android OS were more popular than Apple's iPad and iPad mini during the first quarter of the year. According to IDC's(SANEI N10 A31) latest stats, Android made up 56.5 percent compared to 39.6 percent of iOS. See also Group test: what's the best cheap tablet PC?

This time last year, iOS had a 58.1 percent share compared to Android's 39.4 percent. Both have grown but Google's much more at a whopping 247.5 percent.

IDC said: "Tablet shipments totalled 49.2 million units in 1Q13, surpassing that of the entire first half of 2012. With growth fuelled by increased market demand for smaller screen devices, tablets have shown no sign of slowing down."

Overall growth of the tablet market was 142.4 percent compared with the first quarter of 2012. The news comes after BlackBerry CEO, Thorsten Heins, predicted tablets would be dead in five years' time.

"In five years I don't think there'll be a reason to have a tablet anymore. Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model." said Heins.

Apple remains the top vendor, however, with a total of 19.5 million units shipped during the quarter, higher than IDC's estimate of 18.7 million.

"Sustained demand for the iPad mini and increasingly strong commercial shipments led to a better-than expected first quarter for Apple," said Tom Mainelli, a Research Director at IDC.

Samsung took second place with 8.8 million units shipped. IDC said the Korean giant's smartphone growth has helped its tablet business, often bundling the two together. Asus took third place from Amazon thanks to sustained demand for the Google Nexus 7.(FreeLander PD80 A31)

Microsoft took fifth spot with the launch of its Surface tablets. The software giant shipped 900,000 units, most of which were Surface Pro which has only been available in the US and Canada. The tablet will launch in the UK and other countries this month.

"Beyond the Surface products, Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets continued to struggle to gain traction in the market. Total combined Windows 8 and Windows RT shipments across all vendors reached 1.8 million units." added IDC.

There are rumours that Microsoft will launch a smaller 7in version of Surface but IDC thinks this won't be the firm's saving grace.(Ampe A78 dual core) "Clearly the market is moving toward smart 7-8 inch devices, but Microsoft's larger challenges centre around consumer messaging and lower cost competition." said Ryan Reith, Program Manager for IDC's Mobility Tracker program.

"If these challenges are addressed, along with the desired screen size variations, then we could see Microsoft make even further headway in 2013 and beyond." he added.
