  • Report: RIM still leads US smartphone market, Apple takes second place

    All the doom and gloom surrounding the US economy’s downward spiral into recession apparently isn’t enough to stifle the US smartphone market. While the rest of the US suffers from weak consumer spending, the smartphone market is a veritable “shining star” of hope. For the January to July 2008 period, NPD Group reports that overall handset [...]

  • Android delayed to Q4 2008 and later

    It wasn't too long ago that Google announced their OHA (Open Handset Alliance) and the Linux-based Android platform. Once Android demonstrations started popping up all over the blogosphere, we couldn't wait to get our hands on an Android-powered device. Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait longer still. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google's [...]

  • Apple iPhone bests Nokia N95, HTC Touch in usability study

    So, there’s this Texas-based usability consulting firm called Perceptive Sciences. They just released the results of a test that put the Apple iPhone heads-up with the Nokia N95 and HTC Touch in a usability battle. The winner? Apple iPhone. The results are sure to rile up the iPhone-haters out there, but the results speak for themselves. Perceptive Sciences conducted the test with only 10 participants. The subjects had never used the iPhone, N95, or Touch and were asked to make a phone call, set the phone to vibrate, add a number to the contacts list, take a picture, and send an email. Scientists recorded how long it took to complete each task and ranked each trial with a score between 1 and 5. The iPhone earned a score of 4.6, the HTC Touch nabbed a 3.6, while the Nokia N95 only got a 3.2. Testers were [typically] about twice as fast doing specific tasks on the iPhone, which is pretty remarkable,” said senior research scientist Tom Thornton. It should be noted that the iPhone trumped the N95 in all categories except “functionality.” With GPS, 3G, and a 5megapixel camera, we’re not surprised. Got something to say about this test?

  • HTC own globale trademark on "Touch" - could have problems with Apple's iPod Touch

    Apple might have another trademark battle on its hands. Apparently, HTC owns a global trademark on the “Touch” name as it applies to handheld devices. And with Apple recently dropping the iPod Touch on us, it’s bound to cause some corporate legal jockeying. HTC clearly has grounds to go to the courts to work this one out, but it looks like they’re feeling all warm and fuzzy on account of their birthday celebration. HTC is going to try for an amicable resolution to this situation - a la Cisco and their “iPhone” trademark. Ching-hung Wang (transliterated from Chinese), marketing manager of HTC pointed out that he does not think Apple’s iPod touch was targeting HTC since Apple should put its focus on bigger companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. As for whether iPod touch violates HTC’s trademark, Wang pointed out that in the past Apple and Cisco were able to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement over the rights to the iPhone trademark, adding that the question surrounding the rights to the Touch trademark would need further observation. We’re glad HTC decided to play nice with their “Touch” trademark, it’s refreshing to see corporations actually negotiating out of court .
