We have actually seen reports from Technique Analytics, IDC and Canalys detailing exactly how many smartphones that handset makers shipped in the last quarter (the takeaway: Android is still on top, with Samsung the chief benefactor); today, Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, WPP ’ s market analytics company, has actually discharged its rolling monthly update on how that converts into on-the-ground sales in some of the most significant markets in the world. The results give more weight to Samsung ’ s present dominance; and emphasize just how important it is for Apple to “ wow ” the marketplace next month with the launch of a brand-new mobile.

Kantar, which bases its conclusions on millions of interviews with individuals every month (1 million in Europe alone, it notes), discovered that Samsung is presently the top-selling brand name in Europe at the minute, thanks in part to an effective launch of the S3 in Could, but also aggressive pricing in a region hit by financial pressures. Samsung explained 45 % of all smartphone sales throughout the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain in the last 12 weeks that ended July 8. Arch-rival Apple, in comparison, justified simply 16 % of all sales in the region, Kantar analyst Dominic Sunnebo tells me. In fact, Apple has decreased in every market Kantar reviewed, except for the UK and U.S.

Android ’ s share of sales across the big-five European countries is now at 66 %, a huge jump from 43 % a year ago, Kantar notes. In Australia, Android took 60.5 % of all sales in the period, and in the UNITED STATE it justified just over 51 % of all sales.

Apple ’ s lackluster performance in Europe is something that Apple itself highlighted during its last profits report, blaming the economic climate and individuals holding off on acquisitions until the next iPhone release. Kantar showed that as a result of these elements, Apple took between 4.3 % and 11.4 % less sales in the last 12 weeks than it did a year ago across the market places of Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Australia — with Australia accounting for the biggest of those declines.

Interestingly, regardless of Android doing so well world wide, it really receded in one key market: the U.S. its 51.5 % share of the marketplace is actually 5.3 percentage points down on a year ago. Was this since the Galaxy S3 launched later on there, I asked Sunnebo? No, he states, it ’ s about consumer choice and cost:

“ An essential point right here is that there is very little difference in cost between an Apple iPhone or an Android phone in the UNITED STATE, so the option is made completely on just what the consumer wants, not exactly what they can manage, ” he informs me, “ whereas in Europe, Apple continues to command a price premium over Android. With recessionary pressures as they are in Europe this is likely to have an impact. ”

Certainly, he notes that the S3 is more of a brand name pusher than a direct sales generator: “ While most noise is concentrated on big-name items such as the S3 or S2, it’s simple to forget that Samsung is selling smartphones around all tiers, ” he notes in the report. Kantar says that in the UK, for instance, Samsung accounts for five of the leading 10 best-selling smartphones in the UK, “ with even the smartphone/tablet hybrid Samsung Galaxy Note making it into the leading 10. ”

In the UNITED STATE Apple ’ s share of sales rose by 9.5 portion points to account for 38.2 % of all sales in the duration. The UK was not as tough but also increased: up by 2 percentage points to 22.9 % of sales.

Kantar notes that a great deal of this seems about individuals holding off from purchases until the next iPhone comes along. “ Kantar Worldpanel ComTech data plainly shows that the percentage of Apple individuals who have actually possessed their component for a minimum of 18 months and not upgraded has raised markedly over the last quarter, indicating existing owners are holding off updating till the release of the iPhone 5, ” Sunnebo composes.

Definitely, the Apple brand proceeds to command “ high commitment ”: in the UK 80 % of consumers who possess an iPhone have actually purchased one more; and 92 % state they prepare to stick with Apple when they next upgrade. “ With this in mind, any sort of dip in Apple share is most likely to be short-lived with the release of an updated iPhone in quarter three bringing momentum back to the Cupertino titan, ” he concludes.

Additional brand names. The story is not excellent. While Apple ’ s recedes could be short-lived, RIM ’ s appear even more indicative of a longer-term issue. The only nation where it has taken care of to stave off market share decreases is in France, where it only justified 9.2 % of sales. In the UNITED STATE, which used to be RIM ’ s happy, leading market, it only explained 3.7 % of sales. Ouch. The UK is the only market where RIM handled to go into double digits for sales, with 10.9 % of sales in that country, although that is half of exactly what it was last year.

The tale for Windows Phone resembles that of iPhone and iOS, mentions Kantar — that is, individuals appear to be holding back for Windows Phone 8 releases. That ’ s occurring on a much smaller sized and more dismal scale, though. Windows Phone did not break with also 5 % of sales in any sort of market Kantar looked into, as you can easily see in the full tables below. And just as RIM has a (type of) break out market in the type of the UK, Symbian is still seeing a bit of life in Italy, where it explained 12.8 % of sales, although that is a decline of even more than 22 portion points on last year.

Wherever there’s a teaser video, full product info is sure to follow. Denon‘s decided to stop being so coy, and got its new SC2900 DJ media player fully out in the open. We pretty much got to see most of what’s on offer, including that 7-inch non-motorized platter, and slew of format-playing options (mp3 / audio CD, USB drives, direct from laptop,) but we didn’t know when, and how much. The answers to those questions? For Europeans, July, and €800 plus tax. That’s about $ 997 by conversion, but the actual US price will come as and when availability here’s confirmed.

A lot has happened since Lenovo unveiled its biz-oriented Edge S430 back at this year’s CES, but after months of staying under the radar, it’s finally looking like the laptop’s ready to hit a few shelves around the globe. If a product page on Geizhals.at is to be believed, the Thunderbolt-loaded, 14-inch S430 is set to carry a €809 (about $ 1,015) price tag on one of the higher-end models, with this particular one showing a hot-off-the-press Ivy Bridge CPU (i5-3210M), NVIDIA GeForce GT630M graphics, 4GB of RAM and two USB 3.0 ports, among other things. Of course, this kind of cash is a slightly larger amount than, say, the $ 749 we heard when the machine was announced — though, that’s likely caused by the souped-up specs and could, as usual, vary depending on configuration. Either way, we have a feeling it won’t be too long before we find out its official pricing and release date.

We’re sure some Linux fans broke into a cold sweat over the open source Spark tab. Fortunately it’s taken the next step towards their eager paws: the seven inch slab is now up for pre-order. Sign up for one and you’ll net a priority order code to ensure you get one of the first units off the production line, alongside 500 points to use at the manufacturer’s add-on store. The site still expects to launch the Spark for around €200 ($ 262), which is a fair chunk of change less than those top-drawer tablets — and what price can you put on freedom?

[Thanks Jose]
