Apple is losing market tablets

Recent research shows that Apple is losing market share in tablet computers. This sounds interesting information on the background of the triumphant reports representatives Corporation of Cupertino, which sound almost every new company presentation. Let's look at the trend and we estimate that threatens Apple in this market.All Tablets Q32012 GraphAccording to a study published known agency IDC, Apple is at the moment only has half of the world market of tablet computers. More specifically, over the past year, the share of Apple tablets decreased to 50.4%. Last year, the figure was 59.7%. The share of tablet Samsung increased almost three-fold, to 18.4%, Amazon c Fire, sold at that time in the U.S., took 9%, and ASUS - 8.6%, thanks for that Nexus 7. Interestingly, the top five hit and Lenovo 1.4% - the company feels pretty good in their own market.
Interest and growth, resulting from the comparison of the absolute values ​​of sales in the third quarter of this and the previous year. It turns out that Apple iPad sales have raised by 26.1%. The indicator is not fantastic, but decent enough ... until we see the same in Samsung. The growth rate of sales of tablet PCs from the Korean corporation was 325%. Taiwanese from ASUS is also nice to have succeeded - they increased by 242.9%.Tablets 3Q2012 Data
 
Of course, the situation is still far from Apple catastrophic, this manufacturer has over the years will keep the leading position in the tablet market, but Android-devices due to the greater flexibility in pricing begin to seriously afflict leader. By the way, at the end of last month in this segment came another operating system - Windows RT. This Windows 8 for ARM-chip, which, though limited in terms of "desktop" interface, but allows full access to the new tiled interface and app store. It is likely that next year the same Samsung and ASUS grow even more precisely by the new operating system from Microsoft. That's just what happens at the expense of growth - cannibalizing its own Android-making or replacement of Apple? However, soon Microsoft partners will sell tablets with Intel processors and "desktop» Windows 8 on board, which is slightly thicker and heavier than the RT-options, but functional - it can seriously affect the market.It is already clear that the tablet PC from HTC this year we will not get it. But in 2013, the company may try again to enter the market with a solution based on Android or Windows RT. While the need to understand that HTC will be difficult to enter the top five, expensive tablet with some premium features will be purchasing only the fans of the company, ordinary consumers also become more affordable device. Tablet PC has long ceased to be a luxury goods for the elite, and go to market with the same as that of all, HTC will not be because of the image.

Nokia Lumia Portable Video Projector is Actually a Good Idea

Edgar Mkrtchyan usually sends us 3D renders of new Nokia phones, but now he imagined a very interesting accessory: a Nokia Lumia projector. The sketch is shown in much detail below and the designer will also come up with a 3D render later on. This is a portable video projector, one for Lumia handsets, a segment of accessories that never really took off till now.

The projector shows everything you see on the handset’s screen on a big wall, which can be a good thing for conferences for example. Imagine integrating the Microsoft Office experience with this and sharing PowerPoint presentations synced from your Windows RT tablet to your Lumia for example. How cool is that? Also, watching a movie on the “big screen” becomes easier, even if you’re stranded in the mountains. Multimedia content is transmitted via NFC and the device fits in as if it were a “bed”.

There’s also a big speaker on the side of the projector and the device apparently uses Carl Zeiss technology. The portable video projector has a 3.5 mm jack, 2 ventilation grids, 2 loudspeakers, a micro USB port for charging and a 3000 mAh battery. The 3.5 mm audio jack is used to settle the phone into the cradle. The cool thing is that you can also power the phone with the projector thanks to induction charging. With the 3000 mAh battery you can watch over 8 hours of video. Price this product anywhere around $100 and you’ve got a hit!
Also, the design looks great and the device is highly portable. Notice the slope it has when placed on the table and directed upwards, very good idea!

WPhone Concept by Retovona is a Beautiful Windows Phone 8 Design

Designer Retovona came up with a very interesting Windows Phone 8 concept called WPhone. We're dealing with a beautiful handset here, that seems to have an edge to edge screen and a pretty thick metallic body. It separates the screen panel and the lower side of the facade, where the Windows Phone buttons are.

At the back we've got a big speaker and the device is shown in both white and black. The upper half of the WPhone is a bit iPhone-like and I very much like the discrete notification LED from the right side. Also, the camera mechanism looks elegant and it's integrated in a very subtle way. WPhone has at the lower side a micro SIM holder and micro USB connector, also used to charge the battery. They're covered with a special lid, while up at the top we find a big loudspeaker and a Power / Lock key.
There's also a camera key on the side and I like how the Windows Phone Metro UI fits to the big edge to edge screen. If you allow me to speculate, this would make a very good Surface Phone, with a dual core or maybe quad core Snadpragon S4 CPU, a 4.5 inch display with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, 32 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM and an 8 megapixel camera. Would this make a good Windows Phone flagship for you? In the end I'd like to say that Retovona said on the site where he / she promotes the work he / she does that this may be a last concept. Please encourage the designer, so we may see more work from him / her in the future!

When you receive an event at the top of the screen there is a strip-notification with a brief description, if you open it, you can open the appropriate application and learn more. A strip of this after a while she lost or disappears when multiple alerts. Of course, if the application in which the event supports live tiles, the user will see a notice on it.However, it forces the user to place the vast fields of application of tiles, which he uses very often, and not always working properly push this to the tiles.
