Windows Phone overtakes BlackBerry to claim third place in 2013 smartphone shipments
Author: Dave Adams
Market research firm IDC just released its latest quarterly look at the smartphone market, and for the first time Windows Phone marketshare has eclipsed BlackBerry. During Q1 2013, Windows Phone devices accounted for 3.2 percent of all smartphones shipped around the world, while BlackBerry devices made up 2.9 percent of the market. That’s a change from last quarter, when Windows Phone made up 2.6 percent of all shipments, compared to 3.2 percent for BlackBerry. While that’s good news for Microsoft in a relative sense — they’ve been trailing BlackBerry for third place for quite some time — it’s pretty obvious that we still don’t have a true third smartphone ecosystem that consumers are responding to yet.
It’s still a two-horse race…

No Comments »Swatch Automates Movement Assembly, Pushing Watchmaking Into The Third Quarter Of The 20th Century
Author: JohnnyBells
While I kid a bit in the headline, this is actually pretty cool: Swatch, the largest manufacturer of mechanical watch movements in the world, has created a movement that is assembled entirely using automated systems. Why is this important? The watch industry was originally gutted by the rise of cheap quartz watches, making this piece quite ironic, and this means that more people will be able to own higher quality mechanical watches from a trusted brand.
The movement, called the Sistem51, is made of 51 simple parts and has a weight that winds the mainspring. It is made of a copper, nickel and zinc alloy called ARCAP and is anti-magnetic. It’s completely sealed inside the case (making it impossible to service) but a fact that ensures it can stay out of moisture and dust. Another cool thing? Quoth Hodinkee, who got a hands on, “instead of a regulator the special escapement is set by a laser during production and never needs to be touched again.”
Sure, the Sistem51 is basically a plastic watch that costs a little over $ 100 and will be sold at airports around the world. However, it is an impressive step forward for the company at a time when mechanical watches are making a resurgence. Swatch has been making mechanicals for a while, to be clear, but this is the first time they’ve reduced the price, manufacturing cost, and maintained quality in this way. While it’s easy to get much cheaper movements online (a tourbillon for $ 24, anyone?) it’s far harder to find a solid, high quality mechanical movement from a trusted brand.
It’s great to see some affordable watches come out of Basel this year and this is definitely step forward in terms of nanomechanics.

Smartwatch Market Could Be A Third The Size Of The Netbook Market This Year (Maybe)
Author:
It’s almost like Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft have actually launched smartwatches. Except of course they haven’t. But who cares! Analyst house ABI Research has been stroking its collective beard and come up with a forecast for the size of the nascent smartwatch market. And — drum roll please! — it reckons you can bank on more than 1.2 million of the wrist-strapped gizmos shipping this year.
Put another way, that’s about as many Raspberry Pi microcomputers shipped in its first year on sale. Or just over a third as many netbooks are predicted to ship this year (3.97 million units globally, according to IHS iSuppli). Which means smartwatches could be about as popular as a niche gadget for learning about computing/making a DIY robot, but less popular than the PC that’s cannonballing towards extinction the quickest.
Which sounds about as plausible as any guesstimate produced prior to any mainstream tech companies actually launching product. If you’re in the business of reading tea leaves it helps if you wait for someone to make a brew before doing divinations.
ABI says its “market intelligence” of the “strong potential emergence of smart watches” — note the careful hedge, and don’t bet the farm on this one just yet — is based on the emergence over the past nine months of “a number of new smart watches”, which is likely referring to Kickstarter-funded Pebble and its myriad of wrist-coveting, crowdfunded competitors.
The analyst also says its forecast is based on ”contributing factors” that it reckons are encouraging the smartwatch market to (maybe) emerge from its Kickstarter-powered chrysalis and (possibly) blossom into a standalone butterfly — namely:
…the high penetration of smartphones in many world markets, the wide availability and low cost of MEMS sensors, energy efficient connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth 4.0, and a flourishing app ecosystem.
Even though the smartwatch market remains a partially formed, largely limp-wristed creature, listlessly stuck within its chrysalis of potential, ABI has already spotted four categories hoping to fly in the months and years ahead — aka: notification types (such as MetaWatch and Cookoo); voice operational smartwatches (such as Martian); hybrid smartwatches; and completely independent smartwatches — i.e. smartwatches that have their own OS and aren’t just playing second fiddle to a smartphone.
In the latter category, ABI cites I’m Watch as an example but also suggests that other “possible archetypes” could be “Apple’s hotly anticipated iWatch, Samsung’s Galaxy Altius and Microsoft['s 'Windows Watch', or whatever catchy name Redmond ends up bestowing on it, if indeed it ends up making such a thing at all]. If Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos or Justin Bieber decide to launch their own Android-powered smartwatches ABI would presumably add those in here too.
“Smartwatches that replicate the functionality of a mobile handset or smartphone are not yet commercially feasible, though the technologies are certainly being prepared,” adds senior analyst Joshua Flood in a quasi-illuminating statement of the potential factors that could influence this nascent market’s potential as the hands on our (non-smart)watches push inexorably on.

Sony aims for third place in global smartphone popularity contest
Author: Tyler Evans
Taking bullish approach to the competitive world of smartphones, Sony’s head of mobile told reporters earlier today that the company wants to claim third place. Yep, not first or second (Apple or Samsung, depending on your metric of choice) but the other guy — enough to make it on the podium. IDC recently ranked Sony in fourth place for the last quarter, claiming 4.5 percent of the mobile market, ahead of ZTE but behind Huawei and those aforementioned smartphone sovereigns. Kunimasa Suzuki added that the company’s plan might involve humbler models pitched at developing nations. Hopefully those cheaper Xperia devices will arrive soon, as Sony’s running out of letters. And heck, there’s nothing wrong with third place.

TiVo opens up Developer Channel, lets third parties create apps for your DVR
Author: Brittany Turner
Aside from exactly what seems like a very sluggish pace of updates, one of our gripes with TiVo’s Premiere DVR platform has been a relative absence of new apps being released. Hopefully that might change quickly, now that the company has actually opened up its Developer Channel to allow interested parties access to its SDK and tools to build their very own apps. Although as our pal Dave Zatz points out, it doesn’t assure apps will certainly be released also if certified, anyone ready to obtain down with TiVo’s Adobe-based environment must take a peek around. The notes do disclose some intriguing details like the fact that only one application can run at a time so when an app is launched the TiVo UI is suspended, and that apps are restricted to 720p resolution only, 32MB of system memory, 20MB graphics memory and 1MB difficult drive space quota. We do not know yet what can be built with those devices, but go on– surprise us.

LG’s 55-inch OLED TV gets in the third measurement, we slide on our glasses (hands-on)
Author: Jon Mitchell
We first saw LG’s 55-inch OLED TV at last year’s CES, where it drew a fair share of oohs and ahhs at the business’s press event. In Could, the tentative rates info for the European market was produceded, but this set’s future in the USA continued to be TBD. Quickly forward to IFA 2012, and we’re in front of this titan once again– however this time, it’s sporting 3D. Real, at 55 inches, it’s no goliath contrasted to the 84-inch Televisions we’ve seen this week from Sony, Toshiba and even LG, but the professional claims this 55-inch style is the largest OLED HDTV readily available, and its carbon fiber backing and ultra-thin 4mm profile are most certainly the markings of a high-end setup.
Throughout LG’s booth excursion today, we had a possibility to sneak a peek at the now 3D-capable set, which otherwise looks fairly like the version we saw at CES, albeit with a bit more polish. In order to accomplish a 4-millimeter profile, the set packs all of its connectivity in the base module. There’s additionally an Unnoticeable Connection module on order, which links to the TV with a proprietary optical connector and transparent cable television, should you wish to mount the display on your wall. Naturally, 3D content wasn’t as sharp as its 2D equivalent, but the OLED looked excellent regardless. With its ultra-thin design, it’s undoubtedly suggested for consumers who care about appearances maybe much more than image quality, but if you can stomach the & euro; 9,000 price, this is one great get. Take a closer appearance in our gallery just below.
