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.

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...

Samsung Level In Review

Samsung Level In Review Are we shocked that Samsung wants to be taken more seriously in the mobile audio accessories business? Not really, seeing that they’re known to meddle in several consumer electronics affairs. From smartphones to refrigerators, Sammy has amassed quite a venture that’s not stopping or slowing down any time soon. Very recently, we reported that Samsung introduced a new line of high-end mobile optimized audio series , Level, which spans a wide array of options. In this review, we’re taking a look at a premium in-ear solution – the Samsung Level In. For something priced above the $100 mark, the Samsung Level In doesn’t look or feel premium, which is a sad realization. Visually, it looks exactly like almost any other ordinary pair of headphones that come with the purchase of a smartphone – so there’s nothing too special here. Donning a white finish, one that’s comprised out of plastic, the Level In has a hollow feel. Indeed, there are chrome acce...
