Android takes 43% of the global smartphone market in Gartner report
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
We’ve seen the latest reports from Canalys and comScore and both show just how well the Android operating system is doing these days (pretty well) and Gartner’s latest report shows much of the same. If you had any question as to why Google’s mobile operating system has been under fire so much recently, one only needs to look at the numbers to find out.

iCloud based iPhone rumored to arrive with the iPhone 5
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsAppleGoogleAndroid 2.4iPhone 4s
We can't stop iPhone rumors any more than we can stop the seasons or the tides, especially when those rumors focus on the mythical low-cost iPhone which consumers have been calling for since the iPhone first launched. The newest rumor comes from Apple 'n' Apps Trevor Sheridan, who says he spoke with 3 sources "connected to Apple". Not the most to work with, but it'll have to do.

Alleged Ice Cream Sandwich screenshots leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogle
It seems too good to be true, and probably is: the first screenshots of the next major Android OS update, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), have supposedly leaked, but certainly don't look too convincing. Ice Cream Sandwich is the update which will merge Android's phone OS (Gingerbread) with the tablet OS (Honeycomb), and bring what many expect as a unifying presence to Android. The images show what is supposedly ICS running on a Nexus S.

Dell Streak 7 Wi-Fi only tablet is expected to get its dose of Honeycomb in September?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsDellGoogleAndroid 3.0
Clearly overshadowed by the myriad of Honeycomb tablets that we’ve continuously been seeing for the better part of the last few months, the Dell Streak 7 has been overlooked by many due to its choice of sticking to an older build of the platform.

Windows Phone Mango to beat them all to the punch with a September 1st availability
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7.5
The Mango update to WP7, with its 500+ new features, is now supposed to land on September 1st, which means that we'll probably see the new handsets that will be rocking it in greater detail then. Apple's iOS 5 update will most likely be available in September too, and Google's Android Ice Cream Sandwich is allegedly pulled to October, in order to fight the competition sooner than planned.

T-Mobile begins rollout of G-Slate Android 3.1 Honeycomb update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsLGT-MobileGoogleG-SlateAndroid 3.1
The T-Mobile G-Slate is catching up with the Joneses, that is if the Joneses are the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or Motorola XOOM, as it is now being updated to Android 3.1 Honeycomb. The update adds Google Videos support, resizable widgets, USB accessory support, and an expanded recent apps list. T-Mobile is rolling out the update in a staggered fashion, and users should get a notification when it is ready to be downloaded and installed. T-Mobile makes a point to say that it cannot expedite the rollout of the update, so if you don't get it right away, you will just have to be patient and wait it out.

Google Videos updated with Froyo, Gingerbread support
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid 2.2Android 2.3
Google Videos, the official app to playback movies rented from the Android Market, has been updated today to be compatible with phones running Android 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread. Users can rent movies from the Android Market for 24 hours with prices starting at $2.99. Seems pricey to us, but can you really put a price on that kind of convenience?

Android developers getting underpaid due to a software glitch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
If you were a hardworking software developer building popular and well-selling apps, you would be pretty frustrated, to say the least, if you realized one day that you are getting underpaid for your work, right? That is pretty much what is going on at camp Android right now – a number of software developers are reporting that the amount of money they are being paid through Google Checkout for their software does not match the number of times their apps have been purchased from the Android Market.

Images and video of new Nokia Windows Phone handsets surface: leaked or faked?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
Are those the upcoming Nokia Windows Phone handsets? Hard to tell, but the video and images below sent to MyNokiaBlog from a tipster claiming to be a Microsoft insider (even though using an OVI email account) look very polished and professionally done. Sure, the video below mashes together seemingly new content with old marketing stuff, including some old Microsoft Office Labs footage. But while those could be manipulated images (likely taken from the video below), hands down to the artist, who could well defend a thesis on faking pictures in Photoshop.

Rumor: Ice Cream Sandwich coming in October
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid 2.4
The Android faithful may be getting their hands on the company’s next mobile operating system sooner than anticipated. If true, we should expect to see the launch of Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich as early as October.
The latest Android rumor comes from BGR who has been tipped off by “a source with knowledge of Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich plans”. Although no solid information is given on the source or the new OS, the rumor does seem like a logical move for Google.

FTC looking at Android in Google probe
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogle
The Federal Trade Commission will be taking a hard look at how Google controls Android in its antitrust investigation, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.
The governmental agency is looking at Google’s search practices too but what interests us is that the FTC is going to find out whether the search giant is disallowing handset makers and carriers to use competing services with the Android platform. Remember, the Android platform has grown from 0 percent of the market to more than 40 percent in just a few short years, so its importance is evident.
