According to a recent article written on TechCrunch, the Android mobile operating system by Google recently surpassed the iPhone OS in terms of US Web traffic. The statistics were taken from an Admob study, which showed the amount of ad impressions by Android users vs. iPhone users.
It is no longer a secret that out of all the many mobile operating systems out there, such as Windows Mobile, Symbian, Maemo, WebOS, Android, and iPhone, only two really understand where the future of mobile lays. Have you figured it out yet? There is a pattern among the former four members of that list that is in complete contrast to the latter two.
As if the mobile smartphone market was not already overpopulated enough, today brings another huge name into the game. Dell has entered the race with four new smartphones to hit the market in the coming months. All four phones seem like exciting options and will most definitely be competing with the big boys. Here are some of the details of the new Dell phones:
You have to chuckle at how the entire blogosphere is losing sleep over some leaked images of what is supposedly the next generation iPhone. The pics came from a phone found on the floor of a San Jose bar and Engadget was the first to post them. As soon as they did, the uproar began. Is it really true or is this just some cheap Chinese knockoff? First, these pictures were widely accepted as being real, and we were all a little disappointed as the phone in the pictures just was not as sleek as what we imagined. Then, yesterday, it was determined that these pictures were actually just some Chinese knockoff, which caused a sigh of relief throughout the Twittershere.
In the middle of DJ’ing a house party you’re called away from your desktop forgetting to cue up some tracks. To your amazement, iTunes cues up your live version of “Like a Virgin” after a kicking Beastie Boys track — your guests recoil in horror.
This tragedy could have been avoided with an app like Djay Remote.
We discussed Opera Mini somehow passing through Apple’s tightly guarded gates a few days ago, and we even predicted it would be good for the Opera numbers, which stood on 50 million users a few days ago. What we did not expect is this kind of success. Opera Mini is most downloaded free app on the iPhone platform in every single App Store across the world. Um, wow?
Real Racing for the iPhone has some of the best graphics that I have ever seen in on a mobile device, and is incredibly fun as well. This is really where the iPhone shines, compared to various other smartphones that can’t run anything even close to it. Although it carries a hefty price tag, at $4.99, it really is one of my favorite racing titles on my phone.
I’m sure at one point of your lifetime, you’ve tossed a paper ball into the recycle bin, whether as a student, or as an adult. I know personally, as a student, that I always do this if I have no need for a used piece of paper. Paper Toss World Tour for the iPhone provides a similiar experience on the go, for 99 cents. This may seem quite silly, but I assure you it’s not.
For those of you looking for a challenging, yet fun puzzle game for the iPhone, Geared is definitely for you. It is very entertaining and will help sharpen your mind, for a steep price of $2.99. Video review after the break!
The entire tech community is a little confused and pleasantly surprised today to discover that Opera Mini, the mobile browser with over 50 million users across platforms has just been approved by Apple. This is a clear change in policy on Apple’s part, at least from where I am sitting. Opera is an alternative browser to the iPhone’s built-in Safari the same way Google Talk is an alternative to the iPhone’s phone app. Yet, for some reason Google Talk along with thousands of other apps were rejected by Apple and Opera was approved. In all fairness, I will say that Opera claims they did everything by the book to adhere to Apple’s strict rules, but that still does not change the fact that Opera competes with Safari.
