Samsung Smartphone Sales Soar On Android Platform
Sep 6th
Samsung Electronics expects to sell up to 25 million smartphones by the close of 2010, a significant increase to the company’s earlier estimate and due mostly to its recent allegiance to Google Android – a 7 million unit increase on its original sales target of 18 million. Samsung expects to double the number of smartphones it ships in 2011.
Earlier this week, Samsung said it had shipped more than 1 million of its Galaxy S smartphones in the U.S. The Galaxy S is Samsung’s first smartphone on the Google Android platform and will offer all of the LOCiMOBILE apps.
“We are prioritizing our Android platform. Android is very open and flexible, and there is a consumer demand for it,” YH Lee, Samsung Mobile’s head of marketing, said this week.

So says Firece Mobile’s Jason Ankeny
Smartphone ownership in the U.S. surpassed 49.1 million at the end of May 2010, an 8.1 percent increase over the previous three-month period, according to new data from market research firm comScore. Although Research In Motion’s BlackBerry operating system remains the dominant smartphone platform in the U.S., representing 41.7 percent of the market, its market share dropped 0.4 percent during the period as Google’s Android increased 4.0 percent to 13.0 percent. Android was the sole platform to grow its market share during the period: Apple’s iPhone slipped 1.0 percent to 24.4 percent, Palm’s webOS fell 0.6 percent to 4.8 percent and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile dropped 1.9 percent to 13.2 percent. comScore notes that despite losing share to Android, most smartphone platforms continued to gain subscribers during the period; the firm adds its data does not include Apple’s new iPhone 4, issued in June.
As smartphone penetration continues to grow, so too does mobile data usage–65.2 percent of U.S. subscribers sent and received text messages, up 1.4 percentage points over the previous three-month period, and 31.9 percent accessed their mobile browsers, up 2.3 percentage points. Thirty percent of subscribers downloaded applications (increasing 2.1 percent); 20.8 percent of users accessed social networks or blogs (up 2.6 percent); 22.5 percent played mobile games (up 0.7 percent); and 14.3 percent listened to music on their phones (increasing 1.2 percent).

As great as the iPhone is, it has one major weakness:
Apr 11th
The current iPhone is unable to run third-party applications in the background which limits certain types of apps, such as location-based services. However, rumors suggest that the iPhone OS software 4.0 revision will support foreground and background performance while preserving battery life. The same rumor says it will arrive this summer, while iPad users will have to wait until the fall…But, you don’t have to wait until that long if you download the GPS Tracking app. It’s a peer to peer messaging app running in the foreground and able to locate anyone or everyone in your contact list with a single click and now it can share a photo with its point to point locates. So if you need to know now, now you know where to find everyone you know.

GPS Tracking App Proves Very Useful
Jan 2nd
GPS Tracking is an easy LOCiMOBILE APP that uses a smart phone’s global positioning tech to identify your location to other GPST App users in your cell phone contact list.
The way it works is simple. Once everyone – friends, family and business associates in your network has downloaded the $3.99 GPS Tracking App, you can send a location request from your phone via TXT. If they grant permission you will, in a single click, instantly see them pinpointed on a Google map. If they send you a location request, only when you give permission, will they see your location as well.
“The millennial generation is much more accepting of it than older generations, who see it as very Big Brother-esque,” says Ann Mack, Director of Trend-spotting for advertising giant JWT. “It’s all about finding what you need, or who you need, when you need to.”
Use GPS Tracking for meeting with friends, linking up with business associates or checking in on the kids without having to make a call or wait for a call back.
