Apple : Apple iOS overtakes Symbian |
| Posted: 02 Aug 2011 01:48 PM PDT  Apple's iOS software has overtaken Nokia's ailing Symbian platform to become the second most popular smartphone OS in the world, according to new figures. The iPhone's operating system now boasts 19 per cent of the smartphone market, according to research firm Canalysis. iOS is now second only to Android, which Canalyst says has a massive 48 per cent chunk of pie. That means for every two iPhone's bought, 5 Android phones are sold. HumblingNokia's latest humbling at the hands of Cupertino comes only weeks after Apple overtook the Finns in handset sales. Weeks before that, Apple's revenue from smartphone sales bested Nokia too. Despite a dramatic fall from grace over the last couple of years and its imminent Windows Phone launches, Nokia says it has no plans to put Symbian out to pasture. Just this week the company outed the new Nokia 500, a 1GHz smartphone packing the latest Symbian Anna OS. via Apple Insider |
| Updated: Official Skype for iPad app released Posted: 02 Aug 2011 07:08 AM PDT  Hours ago, the official Skype for iPad app was released into the Apple App Store, before being swiftly taken down again. Update: The app has now resurfaced in the App Store and is available to download. -- The new Skype app will enable users to video chat over Wi-Fi and 3G on their iPads. Skype pulled the app, saying, "To ensure your best Skype experience, we've temporarily removed Skype for iPad, which went live prematurely today. "We know you've been eagerly awaiting Skype for iPad and apologise for the inconvenience." Premature app-jaculationSkype is hoping that offering video chat across 3G networks will give its iPad version an edge over Apple's proprietary FaceTime app. Skype is staying tight-lipped over when the iPad app will make it back to the App Store, but we wouldn't be surprised to see it on there very soon indeed. |
