Nielsen: Apple Top U.S. Smartphone Vendor, Android Top OS in Q2


The iPhone 4 has been DNB listed.

Respondents also were asked which smartphone they would prefer to receive as a gift. An astonishing 69 percent of consumers indicated that they would most like to receive Apple’s iPhone 5.

…Since then, Apple’s launch of iPad 2 resulted in a major leap in performance for games, which Epic Games’ developer Tim Sweeney contrasted with conventional game consoles, describing “a 10-20x leap in performance every 7-8 years” for consoles, compared to the 9x leap Apple claimed for the iPad 2 in just one annual refresh.

For the “average” phone user, however, Android is a maze. Anecdotally, I’ve heard of multiple examples of folks who bought an Android phone in order to “Think Different” and came away disappointed when faced with the glaring differences between Android and a friend’s iPhone or Blackberry.
Yikes. #Nokia

Verizon CEO thought iPhone 5 was coming earlier this Summer, knows absolutely nothing.
The Court concludes that an award of $1.5 million for stealing and distributing 24 songs for personal use is appalling. Such an award is so severe and oppressive as to be wholly disproportioned to the offense and obviously unreasonable.
OMG OMG OMG.

Story developing…
It’s going to be a sad, sad day.

As unbelievable as it sounds, my phone had fallen 13,500 ft, and was still sending out a signal.
According to my iPad, it was less than 1/4 mile away, and laying on top of a factory roof. We loaded up and drove down, only to interrupt a post 4th of July company picnic.
After telling them why I was there, they offered to lift me to the roof to look for it. I didn’t think there was anyway that the app could be that accurate, but low and behold, it was right where my iPad said it was, and it was still working!!! 13,500ft, 120mhp, to a steel roof, and still alive!!
