Etats-Unis : entre iOS et Android, Blackberry s'enfonce et Windows Phone stagne

Mobilité : Face aux deux mastodontes que constituent Android et iOS, Windows Phone et Blackberry voient leur part de marché se réduire comme peau de chagrin en Amérique du Nord, révèle une étude de Chitika.
Difficile d’exister face a la domination qu’exercent iOS et Android, notamment en Amérique du Nord. Certes, Windows Phone et Blackberry ne jouent pas dans la cour des grands, mais selon la dernière étude de Chitika, leur utilisation est en baisse (en trafic Web).
L’étude se base sur les données générées par les services de publicité mobile de Chitika au cours des derniers mois. Les analystes se sont concentrés sur le territoire nord américain uniquement, et recoupent une récente étude de Comscore qui dégage les mêmes tendances pour le marché US.
Ainsi au cours du premier trimestre 2014, Windows Phone stagne en regroupant 1% du trafic observé. C'est peu mais c'est mieux que BlackBerry qui ne cesse du chuter pour tomber à 0,8%. Lot de consolation pour Windows Phone : il est donc le troisième OS mobile nord-américain mais avec une part presque symbolique...
 

Un espoir pour Blackberry?
On pourrait attribuer cette lente érosion à l’arrivée de nouveaux acteurs sur le marché, à l’instar de Firefox OS. Mais c’est en réalité Apple qui draine les nouveaux utilisateurs, au détriment de tous les autres OS avec une part de 53,1% pour iOS contre 44,5% pour Android.
Rude période pour les acteurs mineurs donc, mais l’étude relève néanmoins le récent repositionnement stratégique de Blackberry en direction des marchés émergents. Le lancement récent du Z3, destiné au marché Indonésien s’accompagnera d’une mise à jour de l’OS qui passe en version 10.3 et s’offre au passage une remise a niveau visuelle en flat design. Reste à voir si cela suffira a enrayer le naufrage de Blackberry, leader il y a 10 ans sur les smartphones destinées aux entreprises mais aujourd’hui largement écrasé par ses concurrents.

Why the Nokia X is the best phone you'll never buy

Why the Nokia X is the best phone you'll never buy In Depth What's its X-factor? The Nokia X hasn't made much impression in the US and UK, but it's a bestseller elsewhere in the world While 2014 will likely be remembered for its Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony and Apple flagships, it's a trio of budget Nokia handsets that have been among the most unexpected and surprising releases so far. We're talking of course about the dramatically named Nokia X and its siblings the Nokia X+ and Nokia XL . They're phones which had tongues wagging ever since they were first rumoured for the simple reason that they were Nokia devices running Android . When they were finally revealed there was perhaps a sense of disappointment at just how low end they were, but that hasn't stopped the Nokia X from selling. According to Saulo Passos, Head of Communications, Mobile Phones at Microsoft Devices Group it's "getting a tremendous consumer respon
