RIM's QWERTY BlackBerry 10 device shows up in pictures
RIM's QWERTY BlackBerry 10 device shows up in pictures
Images of the forthcoming BlackBerry 10 N-Series handset with a physical keyboard have leaked once again, giving the best view to date of what the handset will look like when it launches some time next year. The device pictured in the new images looks largely unchanged from what was seen earlier this year in leaked press images, with a large, squarish touchscreen above the QWERTY keyboard that is the signature of the BlackBerry line. The N-Series is expected to launch after the all-touchscreen L-Series, which will debut in media events around the world on January 30....Monday, December 10, 2012
Facebook data suggests Microsoft has sold 4.2 million Windows Phone handsets since October
Facebook data suggests Microsoft has sold 4.2 million Windows Phone handsets since October
It was big news when Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told the world that Windows Phone devices were selling at four times their rate from 2011. That, along with several other positive factors, led TNW to declare that the time of Windows Phone's youth has come to a close.
Today, fresh external data appears to confirm the statement.
In early 2011, TNW found that a ratio existed between the number of monthly active users (MAU) of the Windows Phone Facebook application and the total number of handsets sold. Naturally, this MAU figure can but help us describe the number of recently sold handsets, as retired phones would not appear in the figures.
Now, where do we stand? According to WMPowerUser, Windows Phone's MAU figure is surging when compared to last year:
Using the number of Monthly Active Facebook users as a guide, we can see around 627,000 MAU of the built-in Facebook app has been added since the 1st October 2012, the start of the quarter. Last year over the same period less than 150,000 was added by the 15th December.
As you can deduce, 627,000 is roughly four times 150,000 mirroring the rate that Steve Ballmer let fly to the public.
In our initial reporting, a ratio of 6.756 handsets sold per active user of the Windows Phone Facebook application. That ratio could now be quite dated, as Facebook usage patterns change, and the Windows Phone userbase changes demographically. However, as that ratio allowed us to predict nearly perfectly the 2 million handset sold mark for the platform, it does carry some weight.
And so, that mathemagical calculation would yield as the guess that 4,236,012 have been sold since the start of the quarter. We leave the figure to your gut for a check.
However, for context, our friends over at WMPowerUser who brought the latest MAU data to our attention have a much larger figure in mind:
Last year according to Gartner, who claims to measure units actually sold to end users rather than shipments, said 2.759 million Windows Phones were sold in Q4 2011. The data suggests already 7 million Windows Phones were sold so far this quarter, and we may finally be heading to a + 10 million Windows Phone quarter.
The moral of the story this fine Sunday is that one of the most accurate external pieces of extrapolatable data confirms what Microsoft has told the market.

Instagram photos vanish from Twitter as policy finalized
Instagram photos vanish from Twitter as policy finalized
Photo sharers who operate across both Twitter and Instagram likely woke this morning to find that the hand-in-glove interoperation of the two sites has come to an end, as Instagram finally cut off support for Twitter's Twitter card feature. The Twitter feature that displays an image of shared photos within the Twitter stream will now show a blank white space when a photo is shared from Instagram. The photo sharing site's decision to kill part of its compatibility with Twitter epitomizes the growing competition between the two sites, a competition that has only intensified since Facebook bought...Monday, December 3, 2012

Sony coats Xperia P in 24-carat gold, keeps up tradition of so-so phones in luxury shells
Sony coats Xperia P in 24-carat gold, keeps up tradition of so-so phones in luxury shells
Outside of custom projects, the cardinal rule for draping phones in exotic materials is that they must never, ever be truly high end devices: at best, they should involve mid-tier hardware that could be eclipsed by a garden-variety smartphone at a fraction of the price. Sony's maintaining that all too time-honored tradition by producing a gold-coated, 24-carat version of... the Xperia P. Yes, rather than spruce up a flagship like the James Bond-approved Xperia T, Sony has instead given the luxury treatment to a smartphone with a strictly middling 4-inch display and dual-core 1GHz processor. In fairness, the company sees this as an experiment rather than a Vertu-like business model, with the intent strictly to emphasize the unibody design. A maximum 15 have been built as a result -- and rather than count on impulse purchases from oligarchs, Sony hints that it's offering at least some of its gold Xperia P stock to followers on Facebook. As long as there's no pretenses of living the high life with what's really a very ordinary phone underneath, we're satisfied.

T-Mobile Nexus 4 sells out hours after Google refers to it
T-Mobile has sold out of the LG-made Nexus 4 smartphone from Google just a few hours after the announcement of a special sale on the device. Google today began advertising a special offer whereby T-Mobile customers could get the Nexus 4 for $199 with the activation of a two-year contract and a $50 mail-in rebate. A look at the product page for the T-Mobile Nexus 4 currently shows it as out of stock, though it is possible that the device may be in stock at T-Mobile's physical locations....Oliver Yatco
