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.
Location App Privacy: a question asked and answered.
Jul 17th
The great thing about personal location services is you and I can have instant access to a multi-billion government GPS technology enabling the display of the location of the people we know with a push of a button right on our smart-phones. As amazing as this opportunity is for each of us, displaying and sharing personal information with the assurance of privacy is a significant concern.
When people make personal information available, they make themselves vulnerable. To deal with their vulnerability people weigh both what they have to “give” and what they “get” when asking and answering personal information questions. It should come as no surprise that Pew research found that 85% of adults want to control access to their personal information because that something is publicly accessible doesn’t mean people want it to be publicized.
As Helen Nissenbaum of New York University has argued, “contextual integrity” is necessary for people to effectively manage their privacy. The mere threat of a breach of integrity is experienced as a violation of privacy as we have recently witnessed both with FaceBook and Google Buzz.
Providing and insuring control of personal privacy has been a fundamental precept for GTX Corp and its LOCiMOBILE GPS Tracking Apps. Sharing personal location information is kept securely between the people asking and answering the “where is” question in a peer to peer environment. No information is taken, stored, shared or used by anyone but the app’s subscribers. The keyword is “personal” location service.
Thirty-percent of smart-phone subscribers downloaded applications and nearly two-thirds sent text messages
Jul 9th
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).
LOCiMOBILE’s release of its “TRACKING” app utilizes new multitasking tools allowing it to run in the background…more apps, shared by more people running more of the time.

GPS Tracking Apps are for tracking people not places
May 7th
If you are looking for the answer to the “where is” question you have found the answer; the better people finder iPhone, Android and Blackberry apps are available from LOCiMOBILE®.
The GPS Tracking App can find one person or groups of people and do so accurately, quickly and privately with a touch of a button. Without ads, badges, check-ins, promotions or gimmicks. The apps will locate a staff of mobile sales people, an extended family, or the kids at the park. With TXT messaging and photos it’s possible to personalize your locate requests while assuring absolute privacy to everyone.
Hundreds of thousand of subscribers use the Apps everyday in 80 countries making it one of the top 25 free and top 10 paid options in the iPhone store. Your network is right in your contact list.
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.
Accidents Happen – Don’t Become a Statistic
Jan 18th
More than 1,000 people visited emergency rooms in 2008 because they were distracted and accidently tripped, bumped or ran into something while talking or texting on their cellphone. That was twice the number from 2007, which had nearly doubled from 2006, according to a study conducted by Ohio State University (NYT).
There is a growing problem; DISTRACTION — A potentially injurious combination of a PERSON, with a MOBILE PHONE and an OBSTACLE like other people, the pole of a street sign, a toy left on the steps, a parked or even a moving vehicle.
“It’s the tip of the iceberg,” said Jack L. Nasar, a professor at Ohio State, noting that the number of mishaps will most likely increase as texting is rising sharply and devices like the iPhone have thousands of new, engaging applications.
However, certain iPhone and Android Apps reduce the likelihood that you will become an accident statistic. Check out GPS TRACKER. It will provide the precise location of one or all of those in your contact list and send a TXT MSG along with the location (LOCi) request – not only combining two tasks into one, but just in case you walk into an object larger than yourself, you’ll be able to alert friends or family of your location and the inconceivable happenstance.
By the way, if cell phone multi-tasking has become a habit, then you might also want to take a look at Code Amber’s Alertag – A secure digital personal ID tag that will provide first responders to emergencies with the vital information needed to make an informed treatment assessment as well as who to call.
We think it’s a good idea to anticipate the unexpected.
