Who Is Really Winning the Smartphone Race?

10/08/2010 02:23:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , , , , , 0 Comments


Apple fanboys vs HTC fandroids. Crackberry junkies vs Nokia cheerleaders. All of them have their arguments and neverending doses of absurdly blind faith in a corporation. But who is really winning this race? Who is really the dominant smartphone manufacturer?

It's hard to tell.

See, when you take into consideration more than one factor, you get a different picture of how things are. Here you can see that Samsung is gaining market share faster than all its competitors, but their profit share growth is going down. Then you can see that Apple is gaining market share at a good rate, but their profit share growth dwarfs everyone else. The iPhone is one popular smartphone, with a hefty profit.

Kim Kardashian: Not Dating Anyone and Not Pregnant

10/08/2010 02:22:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Good news for Big Apple bachelors: Kim Kardashian is still available.

When asked about the rumors linking her to Kayne West, whom she recently shot some scenes with at the new N.Y. Dash location, Kim laughed them off.

"It's like, automatically you're dating...right now, apparently I'm pregnant," she told E! News, "That's the new one!"

Another person the 100 percent single girl isn't seeing is...

One Tree Hill actor Michael Copon, who InTouch is reporting as her new man.

A source close to Kim says that's totally not the case.

"She was filming the show at a bar Tuesday night. He was there, and they said hello," the insider tells E!. "They're so not dating!"

But what's the almost 30-year-old looking for from her next guy? Apparently, someone who doesn't have much time for her.

Weird, we know. We'll let Kimmy explain.

"I'm looking to meet someone nice and normal, but somoene that also has a lot going on, so they understand that I do, too and that I don't have all the time in the world," she told E! News. "Wouldn't that be like the perfect relationship? Someone that doesn't have a lot of time for you?"

Kim made time last night to attend the season finale party for E!'s The Spin Crowd, which she executive produced. Sister Khloé was also on hand at Provocateur to celebrate power PR duo Simon Huck and Jonathan Cheban's final episode of the season.

Android continues to surge, report shows

10/08/2010 02:21:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Android continues to gobble up more smartphone customers, according to the new stats from market researcher ComScore.

Looking at the three months ending August, Android's market share rose to 19.6 percent in the U.S.--a gain of 6.6 points from the prior three months. Though Google's smartphone platform is still third among the top five, it was the only one to show growth in market share for the period.

Among the other major players, RIM was the leading smartphone platform with 37.6 percent of U.S. subscribers. Apple was next in line with 24.2 percent. Microsoft accounted for 10.8 percent, and Palm came in last with 4.6 percent. These four companies shedded market share to Android during the quarter, but ComScore noted in its press release yesterday that most smartphone platforms still won more subscribers outright over the summer due to ever-increasing consumer demand.

The 55.7 million people in the U.S. who owned smartphones during the three months ending August represented a jump of 14 percent over the prior three months.

Jolin Tsai caught out on gym date with a love bite

10/08/2010 02:21:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Jolin Tsai and rumoured boyfriend Vivian Dawson were caught on a gym date by Taiwan paparazzi, with the pop star spotting a suspicious mark on her neck

Since the exposure of their relationship, all eyes were on Jolin Tsai and beau Vivian Dawson when the pair was spotted working out in the gym yesterday.

A make-up free Tsai was easily identified at the gym even though she wore a fedora hat, spectacles and a striped top that matches Dawson's.

The 1.61m singer seemed significantly petite next to the 1.89m half-Singaporean, half-New Zealand model, who lovingly guided Tsai to use the fitness equipment.

But the pair's workout rendezvous turned out to be short-lived when Tsai realized that she was being followed. Signaling to Dawson to grab her bag, the rumoured couple swiftly left through the back door and went separate ways when the cameras caught up with them.

Chelsea Handler: 'Nothing' to 50 Cent Romance Rumors – Yet

10/08/2010 02:20:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Are they or aren't they?

In response to recent reports that Chelsea Handler is dating 50 Cent, the Chelsea Lately host took to her Twitter page Wednesday night saying, "Everyone, calm down. I met with mr. Cent about a potential project. There's nothing to report yet, ill let you know if there is."

But sources tell PEOPLE that the couple are indeed spending quality time together. "It's legit," says one source. "It's casual."

Speculation about the possible hookup started after Handler, 35, and the rapper (real name Curtis Jackson), also 35, were spotted getting close at the Blue Nile jazz bar in New Orleans last Sunday. The rapper also made a flirty appearance on Handler's show Chelsea Lately last December, sparking rumors that he’d asked Handler out on a date.

Avril Lavigne & Brody Jenner Party with Her Ex in L.A.

10/08/2010 02:18:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

If the couple that parties together, stays together, then it's clear why Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner are still going strong.

The pop star and her reality-TV boyfriend were all over each other at the Premiere nightclub in Hollywood on Tuesday, even with Lavigne's ex-husband, Deryck Whibley, nearby.

Looking like teenagers in love, Lavigne, 26, and Jenner, 27, stole kisses and touches from each other all night, as they partied with friends – including Whibley, 30, who spent time chatting with them at their table.

Jenner seemed uninterested in anyone but his girlfriend, showering her with attention and pulling her in for a kiss whenever he got the chance. Lavigne didn't stray far from Jenner throughout the evening, constantly sitting on his lap and whispering in his ear.

The couple got together in the spring, and have been holding PDA sessions in clubs ever since.

T-Mobile myTouch hands-on

That front-facing camera, optical trackpad and Genius button are all in plain sight, but we're afraid we didn't get to give them a try -- the screen on this T-Mobile myTouch is pitch black because it's just a hardware prototype. That didn't keep us from snapping plenty of pictures when we spotted the Froyo-filled HSPA+ handset at the carrier's booth, though -- including a few of the phone side-by-side with its predecessor, the myTouch Slide. First, you'd probably like to hear about the hardware on display, so here's the executive summary: the device feels fairly solid, it's got a neat two-tone design with a fancy metal battery cover, and there's a nice big shutter button. The myTouch also sports a set of three copper contacts on the side almost certainly destined for a landscape dock, though nearby T-Mobile representatives quickly disavowed knowledge of any such product. They did confirm we'll see the phone by the holidays, though, so we won't have long to wait.

Skype's Android shackles are broken, 3G calling hacked into reality

10/08/2010 02:17:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Well, that didn't take long. Just days after the official Skype application finally landed in the Android Market, along comes an .apk that's far more salacious for Americans. Thanks to xeudoxus over at Droid Forums, a tweaked version of the app is now available to download and sideload (sorry, stock Aria owners), promising the same functionality but without that nasty 3G block. It's really as simple as that -- hit those source links to get the unquestionably superior version, and feel free to let us know how your carrier's network holds up in a test call.
