It is known that Obama is a tech-savvy president. He likes technology and probably keeps in touch with what’s the latest around. So here is a glimpse of him having dinner with some of the most powerful business icons in the tech industry. Panel includes Eric Schmidt (Google), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Carol Bartz (Yahoo!) and even the iconic Steve Jobs (Apple).
Well, this was kind of expected. Nokia has finally decided to team up with Microsoft. So expect to see some new Nokia smartphones powered by Windows Phone 7 soon. So I guess Symbian’s fate is now more or less sealed. This certainly helps Microsoft as well. Nokia being the world’s largest mobile phone maker can surely help Microsoft compete better.
AOL announced that the company will purchase HuffingtonPost.com for a reported $315 million. HuffingtonPost is quite literally the world’s most popular blogging network (Alexa rank #128), which posts news related to politics, business, technology and current affairs. Not only that, AOL also appointed founder Arianna Huffington as the new Editor-in-Chief for all AOL content and blogs.
From the recent Verizon Wireless ad it is now clear. The company wants to show that the iPhone 4 will work the best only in their network. It says the iPhone 4 is beautiful, intelligent, genius, “but does your network work?”. Then the famous Verizon specs guy picks up the call and says, “yes, I can hear you now!”.
I guess this was well expected. Verizon customers have been dying to get their hands on the iPhone for a long, long time. No wonder the iPhone 4 has already been sold out from their website. However, not to worry, you can buy one soon when Verizon restocks their supplies on February 9th. You can even do the same from your local Verizon store the next day (February 10th).
The much-hyped ‘The Daily’ has finally been launched for the iPad. The magazine supposedly brings the combined world of traditional journalism and contemporary technology. It features a magazine-like outlook, professional voiceover for content and even 360-degree photo views.
It all started with the iPad. And now, everyone is coming up with a new tablet, and LG is no exception. However, do not underestimate the LG G-Slate. The device will come with a powerful 1GHz Tegra 2 dual-core processor, Android Honeycomb and a stunning 8.9-inch 3D display. Not only that, the G-Slate will also have the capability to output 1080p HD and 3D content to external displays.
Android is now the world’s most popular smartphone platform. According to the recent data from Canalys, the mobile OS has surpassed Nokia/Symbian’s share of 30.6%. With an overall market share of 32.9% and 33.3 million unit shipments (for Q4 2010), Android is now second to none. Meanwhile Apple’s iOS is third on the list with 16% market share and 16.2 million shipments (for Q4 2010).
