Smartphone review: cutting through the fog

New phones are continually coming out. Which should you buy? Here's a summary of recent phone reviews, including the new Moto X phone from Motorola.

Android devices
Samsung Galaxy S 4.
What's really special about the Moto X has nothing to do with making calls, checking Facebook or holding it in your hands. Rather, it breaks from the pack by allowing for a lot of customisation. You can choose everything from the colour of the power button to a personalised message on the back cover. The Moto X also offers the ability to get directions, seek trivia answers or set the alarm without ever touching the phone. There's good hardware, too, including a body fits well in the grip of your hands. The Moto X is the first phone designed with Google as Motorola's new owner. It could make Motorola, the inventor of the mobile phone, a contender again. The Moto X goes on sale soon in the US, Canada, and Latin America. No date has been announced for an Australian launch.


Samsung Galaxy S4

The S4 is an excellent device from a hardware standpoint. Its 12.5cm screen is larger than its predecessor, yet it's a tad lighter and smaller and the display is sharp. Samsung packed the Android device with a slew of custom features, including new camera tools and the ability to perform tasks by waving a finger over a sensor. Many of the features, however, make the phone more complicated to use. In some cases, custom features work only some of the time. In other cases, you're confronted with too many ways to do similar things. The S4 might be for you if you don't mind spending time customising it. Otherwise, you must bypass all the gimmicks to get to what otherwise is a good phone.

HTC One

The One is a phone that can match Apple's standards of feel and finish. Plastic and metal are joined together so well that you can't tell by feel where one ends and the other starts. The 12cm screen is also quite a sight, its 468 pixels per inch among the best. Two front-facing speakers give you real stereo sound when turned sideways to watch a movie. HTC's camera has a lower resolution than most. Promises of better low-light shots from its larger sensors only partly delivered. Like other Android phone makers, HTC adds confusion by customising the interface. There are four different "home" screens from which to launch apps, for instance. The One is worth checking out as an alternative to the Galaxy S4 from Samsung, which also adds complication with its custom features.
Apple's iPhone 5.

Apple's iPhone 5.

Sony Xperia Z

The Xperia Z mostly catches up with offerings from Samsung and HTC, but one feature stands out: Its water-resistant shell means you can submerge the phone at least a metre deep for up to 30 minutes. Making water resistance a standard feature is something more phone makers should adopt as phones become companions to our active lives. Sony also enhances Google's Android system, without overly cluttering the phone. Enhancements include battery-saving features. The Xperia also brings a lot of features from Sony's stand-alone Cyber-shot cameras, while letting you highlight only the ones you actually need. Sony's new phone offering is impressive for a company better known for TVs, cameras and game machines.

Blackberry devices

Blackberry Q10

The Q10 is a successful marriage of the modern touch-screen smartphone and the iconic BlackBerry keyboard. The interface takes time to get used to, and it doesn't have the simple immediacy of the iPhone. But once you learn it, you can positively zip between tasks. The downside to the new BlackBerry 10 operating system is its relative dearth of third-party software. In addition, the keyboard eats up space that could be devoted to a bigger screen, leaving the Q10 with a square, 8cm screen. Nonetheless, the Q10 is likely to be attractive to the BlackBerry faithful, and it deserves serious consideration from Android and iPhone users as well.

BlackBerry Z10

The Z10 is the first phone to run RIM's new BlackBerry 10 operating system and comes across as a very good stab at regaining at least some of the cachet of the BlackBerry. But the Z10 looks like every other smartphone on the shelf. It's a flat black slab with a touch screen, measuring 10.5cm. Only once you turn it on do the differences become more evident. Older BlackBerrys are great communications devices, but are poor at multimedia and at running third-party apps, something the iPhone excels at. The new BlackBerry 10 software is a serious attempt at marrying these two feature sets.

Apple devices

iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is the biggest overhaul to the line since the release of the 3G in 2008. Compared with other high-end smartphones, however, it's more of a catch-up move. The 10cm screen is larger than previous iPhones, but smaller than many Android devices. The iPhone now works with 4G LTE cellular networks, something many Android devices already did. The iPhone 5 doesn't break much new ground, but it supports the things that really set the iPhone apart: the slick, reliable operating system and the multitude of high-quality, third-party applications. Released in September, the iPhone 5 is getting old. But don't expect a new model until later this year. A software update, iOS 7, is also expected for free then.

Apple’s developer website hacked, personal information ‘may have been accessed

Apple's developer web-site, which has skilled some significant downtime this previous week, has become hacked.

Apple launched the knowledge just a handful of moments in the past in an e-mail to registered developers, saying that delicate emails, names, and bodily addresses could have been compromised, and that it took the website down on Thursday to prevent any further harm:

Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure individual information and facts of our registered developers from our developer website. Delicate personalized info was encrypted and can't be accessed, nevertheless, we now have not been in a position to rule out the probability that some developers' names, mailing addresses, and/or email addresses may possibly are already accessed. In the spirit of transparency, we desire to inform you of the problem. We took the internet site down immediately on Thursday and have been working across the clock since then.

So that you can prevent a safety threat like this from taking place yet again, we're completely overhauling our developer techniques, updating our server computer software, and rebuilding our whole database. We apologize to the sizeable inconvenience that our downtime has caused you and we anticipate to get the developer internet site up again soon.

The last time Apple's developer site went down it had been as a result of a rush around the company's iOS 7 beta release in early June. This week's outage, however, was longer-lived  for considerably of a day  and for any much extra damaging motive.

apple web site hackedPrevious Apple hacks have all been clientside, usually as a result of vulnerabilities from the Java program the corporation employed to ship with OS X, and sometimes by means of social-engineering attacks on iCloud passwords. This really is potentially a considerably much more serious issue, as you'll find 300,000 iOS developers while in the U.S. alone, and possibly very well over a million globally.

Apple is really a tempting target not only for its developers, but also for its customers.

iCloud and iTunes have above 300 million accounts, all with juicy charge card info. An attacker who could penetrate Apple's security in one particular spot  the developer website, as an example  may possibly be able to penetrate Apple's safety in other spots. I've contacted Apple for much more data on what the corporation is executing to guard these consumers, and make sure that none of their data has become affected.

Apple' worst fear, of course, may be that hackers could achieve accessibility to its app store or even the signing credential engineering that certified iPhone apps as secure, acknowledged, and malware-free. Google lately had a major scare of precisely that class  which is so far appears to possess been ready to incorporate  plus the last thing Apple would like is for its iPhone-buying public to take into account the iOS ecosystem anywhere near as malware-laden as Android from time to time appears to get.

The front webpage with the web-site is presently live, but developers trying to log into the web-site will locate this message:

In an effort to protect against a protection threat like this from taking place once more, we're fully overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software program, and rebuilding our whole database. We apologize for your significant inconvenience that our downtime has brought about you and we assume to have the developer web site up once again soon.

Although media companies license their content publicly, but they will generally give the most affordable price largest distributor. OTT TV service programs in order to obtain the appropriate license price, Google and other technology companies almost have to accept the standard program package, which includes the popular TV channels and low popularity of TV channels.

Interpretation of Baidu acquisition of 91 game trip: 1.9 billion U. S. dollars in exchange for price entrance

July 16 morning, Baidu announced the proposed acquisition of a wholly-owned Hong Kong-listed company's 91 NetDragon wireless business, purchase price of $ 1.9 billion, the relevant parties have signed the Memorandum of Understanding. 91 subsequently confirmed to reporters that the wireless aspect of the matter. The transaction if completed, will become the largest in the history of China's Internet a merger.
Previously, 91 wireless plan is in full swing in Hong Kong Introduction. In the market before the introduction of the final round of 91 radio strategic investors, Richard (Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing's son) led to its investors invested $ 17.8 million, corresponding to 91 was valued at 2.2 billion yuan, and the second Baidu right 91 shows 91 takeover request a valuation rose sharply.
Currently 91 wireless parent holds 91 wireless NetDragon 57.41% of the shares, the Baidu acquisition only holds 91 wireless NetDragon shares. And 91 other shareholders hold 42.59% of the hands of 91 shares, Baidu is negotiating the acquisition of the transaction total of $ 1.9 billion.
$ 1.9 billion valuation, not only the parent company of more than 91 market value of NetDragon, also exceeded the majority in the U.S. listed Chinese stocks market value. In accordance with the July 16 closing price, NetDragon listed in Hong Kong of HK $ 9.739 billion market capitalization. This shows that the market for mobile Internet concept in the pursuit.
Both for Baidu or 91, this merger is a win-win deal. According to sources close to the deal, Baidu had on 91 offer is only around $ 10 billion, and now suddenly price increases to $ 1.9 billion, showing Baidu a little anxious in the mobile Internet, this is the money for time to catch up strategy.
From the development of the mobile Internet trends, the application stores the good old days may be coming to an end, 91 selected high-priced to sell at this time, should be a wise choice.
91 The logic being sold
Earlier this year, the newspaper reporter with 91 wireless CEO Wu Chak exchanges had asked, "If Baidu and other giants tried to buy 91, 91 will be considered?" Wu Chak then replied, "if the right seller, 91 will not be rejected, but depends on whether the offer attractive enough. "thenceforth came news of 91 and Baidu, Alibaba and other giants have been in contact.
91 wireless operators the famous 91 assistants and Android market, is considered to be China's largest mobile Internet distribution channels.
At the time, Apple's iPhone has just begun popular in China, most Chinese people are not accustomed to American design Apple iTunes, 91 to seize this market opportunity to launch a smartphone is easy to install the software for 91 mobile assistant and In China's "white" user has a good mass base, and thus become a powerful mobile application distribution channels.
Since then, 91 has introduced specifically for Android phones "Android Market." Because Google's Android operating system in China most of the time was habitually called "Android System", so until now, even many Chinese people believe that Android is Google's official market.
Since 91 is a strong mobile internet channels, so 91 very early realization of a large-scale flow. Its realization is the primary means to promote the sale of application store locations, as well as with a number of mobile game makers to conduct joint operations, as well as advertising systems, 91 panda reading, and other businesses.
Why NetDragon 91 wireless chosen not listed by way of financing it? 3 months ago 91 Wireless CEO Hu Jin-min interview, explained: "We are not short of money, and now their own self-profitability, hematopoietic capacity well, so do not worry take this money (refers to public financing). Why Introduction because we want our own company's investors or to get the maximum value itself is good to play, so we do not dilute the shareholding to the current market. "
But there are other investors on the market that it is often the Introduction for the sale of the company to raise prices, it turned out that 91 was indeed planning to move the Introduction greatly uplift its purchase price. Richard introduced in 91 other investors in the final round of financing when the company that a corresponding valuation only 2.2 billion yuan, just less than a year to $ 1.9 billion rapid appreciation. While Ali and other potential investors into the Council, but also greatly uplift the 91 final sale price.
July 16, net long and 91 wireless Chairman Liu Dejian in the mail sent to company employees, said, "The Board considers that, compared with 91 wireless and listed in Hong Kong, the completion of this transaction, on 91 wireless and NetDragon to create greater value for 91 in terms of wireless and NetDragon is also a win-win situation. "
However, the merger was announced, investors sold off sharply NetDragon was the day the stock fell 21 percent, to close at HK $ 19.04. 91 NetDragon Wireless is the largest contributor to the business portion of profit after the sale NetDragon difficult to be optimistic about the market outlook.
Baidu money for time
From a strategic point of the pattern, the Internet giant Baidu actually need most of all mergers and acquisitions 91.
First wave of this wave of mobile Internet App, Baidu assessment of the situation has undergone major mistakes. Baidu to App represented in this wave action in the mobile Internet market is much slower than other internet giants.
In the PC Internet era, Baidu is a web traffic realized based company, Baidu is China's most important Internet traffic entrances to App dominated by mobile Internet, Baidu looked everywhere passive.
A large mobile Internet company declined to be named CEO pointed out that the impact on Baidu mobile Internet is fatal, because the mobile Internet has greatly accelerated the process of vertical search in various vertical categories App and comes with the search box, which is Baidu, great impact.
For example, people search for food would use the public comments, the search will use a scouring e-commerce products, search Youku video will be used inside the search box, Baidu's traffic entrance advantages will be significantly weakened.
The Internet's most profitable games business, for example, a PC on the Internet, over the past few years has been the most popular web game market, and to the mobile Internet, App client game started to become mainstream, so the application stores become the best results distribution channels.
Since late last year, Baidu began to realize that they lag behind in the mobile Internet field, began a frenzied acquisitions, and has acquired a snack, magic Chart Wizard and other companies, but these companies are too small, can not solve Baidu in the mobile Internet the fundamental problem.
One pair Baidu is quite familiar with the TMT field VC investors pointed out that the main purpose of mergers and acquisitions and competitors in order to shorten the gap. Assuming Baidu and major rivals in the mobile Internet on a six gap, totally dependent on their own strength to chase too difficult, and the acquisition of 91 such a user, the flow of the company, you can greatly reduce the gap and key competitors.
Baidu is currently the number one competitor is 360.360 announced into the search market, Baidu's share price led to a sharp decline, Baidu top to bottom guard. Baidu traffic and 360 are doing business Internet companies, are to snatch the mobile Internet portal, it is bound to have a war.
360 in the wireless application distribution business flourishing. Previously, 360 and 91 in the wireless application store on one occasion not happy cooperation, the two sides launched a 91-360 mobile assistant, but then broke up because of various disagreements, then, 360 to start their own independent development of mobile application distribution business and gradually become China's largest mobile application distribution channels.
In contrast, Baidu own mobile application distribution business is slow, and the gap has been growing 360, mainly through Baidu Baidu currently assistant to distribute mobile phone App, but because of the late start, the application number and 360 and the distribution 91 are not a small gap.
Therefore, after the acquisition of 91, Baidu mobile application channels can quickly make up for the short board. In addition, 91 also has a mobile advertising, wireless game development, mobile reading and many other business segments. Acquisition of 91, Baidu gained was not just a mobile application channels.
Good times coming to an end?
The Baidu is 91 out of the high prices in a way proved that the App Store is still the first mobile Internet portal, but the trends in the development of mobile Internet, the application stores the good old days may be coming to an end.
Since the development of the mobile Internet, Web and App route on the long-standing debate, especially in the industry, many people expect the future will replace HTML5 App upper hand, but after several years of development can be seen, HTML5 development is very slow, and App Development has been very fast.
Japanese mobile social gaming giant DeNA's China CEO Yong recent interview that the company is the company best shift resources to develop App client game up, but before the company has been based Web mobile web games Kyo, Wang Yong said the future is more optimistic about the App games - even DeNA this game to mobile web-based betting big manufacturers have begun to App, the industry's direction is evident.
"App Store and soon may be a good day." Domestic a large application store business leader pointed out that "the number of mobile Internet traffic have become a stock, application stores and Web site navigation, browser, search for these web-core different flow distribution, flow once handed out no longer own up. "
So 91,360 other mobile application stores unable to sell unrestricted traffic flow because they will be distributed micro-channel, street street, mobile QQ, fishing people, looking for your sister and other large flow applications, these applications and the formation of a new traffic, which will compete for traffic and application store entrance.
To Tencent micro-channel, for example, early in the development of micro-channel rely major application stores to promote, but in the hundreds of millions of users, a set of building their own micro-channel flow system - micro-channel is a public account mild App, makes it no longer need to download a lot of App.

UPDATE 1-T-Mobile US to allow phone upgrades every six months

By Sinead Carew

(Reuters) - T-Mobile US Inc said on Wednesday that customers will be allowed to upgrade phones every six months and it unveiled a family plan for prepaid customers that it hopes will lure customers away from its three bigger rivals.

Verizon Wireless , AT&T Inc and Sprint Nextel Corp offer phone discounts in exchange for tying customers to two year contracts and typically do not allow phone upgrades during that period.

T-Mobile, which is under pressure to stem years of customer losses, said it is already seeing good results from its efforts to differentiate itself from bigger rivals. Now, it is betting people will switch to its service because they want to change phones more often than its rivals allow.

"You can upgrade when you want, not when you're told," T-Mobile Chief Executive John Legere, who was appointed in September 2012, told reporters and analysts at a New York event where he announced the changes.

Legere told Reuters he expects the offer to improve customer loyalty and to increase the number of new customers T-Mobile lures from other carriers each quarter without having a big financial impact on the company.

The No. 4 U.S. mobile provider also hopes to attract more customers who pay for calls in advance by offering a prepaid family plan that does not require a credit check.

It said its $100 monthly fee for a family of four is about $100 less than AT&T's service. It expects a lot of interest in the service as it estimated that a third of U.S. families would not pass the credit checks required for typical family plans.

AT&T and Verizon attribute much of their success in retaining customers to these plans because it is harder for an entire family to change service than an individual.

Customers who want frequent phone upgrades must sign on to a service called Jump that requires them to pay a $10 monthly insurance fee on top of monthly service fees and a one-off down payment that partially covers the cost of the phone. They are also charged a monthly fee of up to $20 per month to pay for the remainder of the phone.

When T-Mobile customers want an upgrade, they can bring a phone to a store and swap it for a new device. They pay another down-payment and resume monthly payments for that device. The moves follows T-Mobile's elimination in March of long-term contracts and handset subsidies.

T-Mobile will lose money in some cases if a customer trades in a lower value phone for a more expensive one, according to Chief Financial Officer Braxton Carter.

But he told Reuters this would likely be evened out by the fact that popular phones such as the iPhone can keep as much as 70 percent to 80 percent of their original value after a 6-month trade in. The company will then sell those phones back to customers looking for a discount.

"We'll definitely attract more customers to our company by having this innovation," Carter said. "By attracting more customers, we're attracting more revenue and (better) margins. This is a greater retention tool."

The event on Wednesday was T-Mobile's first media function since it merged with MetroPCS in April.

Some analysts said the new plans could prove popular. But Avi Greengart of Current Analysis questioned whether customers would leave big providers because Verizon's network has a good reputation and AT&T has a huge number of customers tied to family plans that are hard to leave.

However, Greengart said the move should make those companies "sit up and take notice."

T-Mobile also announced that customer defection rates are lower than ever because of new marketing efforts and the introduction in April of the Apple Inc iPhone, which accounted for 29 percent of its smartphone sales in the second quarter.

While the company would not disclose total customer numbers for the second quarter, it believed it had added the most net customers of all the national U.S. carriers, at least in several major U.S. cities. It cited strong customer growth compared with its rivals in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston and Dallas.

T-Mobile shares closed 1.3 percent higher at $24.42 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Samsung Confirms Boxee Acquisition

Samsung has acquired Boxee, a streaming media startup that develops set top boxes, the company confirmed Wednesday.

“Samsung has acquired key talent and assets from Boxee,” a Samsung rep told Mashable in a statement. “This will help us continue to improve the overall user experience across our connected devices.”

The Marker, an Israeli business publication, originally reported Wednesday that Boxee had been acquired for $30 million. Calcalist, another Israeli outlet, confirmed the news and noted that Samsung would keep Boxee's staff employed.

Samsung did not confirm the price tag of the acquisition, but if true, it would be low for Boxee. The startup, which operates out of New York and Tel Aviv, has raised $26.7 million to date. If the acquisition price is accurate, it would barely cover the amount of money invested into the company.

Boxee declined to comment on the original reports.

The news of Boxee's acquisition is not entirely surprising. AllThingsD reported in mid-June that Boxee was either looking to raise more money or else looking for potential buyers. Around the same time, VentureBeat reported that the company had been acquired, but not didn't know by whom.

The acquisition could help Samsung in the increasingly competitive smart TV market. Intel confirmed earlier this year that it is planning to build a smart TV, and Apple is widely rumored to be working on its own as well.

This marks the second notable Israeli startup acquisition in as many months. Google acquired Waze, a mapping company, for just more than $1 billion in June.

Google Glass: Getting In Your Face

At the beginning of this year, Google asked me if I'd like to try out a prototype of Google Glass. Being a complete gadget junkie, I'd read all about them and was as excited as anyone to actually put them on. A future of augmented reality in the form of computer glasses has long been the dream of many a science fiction fan who imagines a world where information is superimposed into his vision, where his every move is documented and archived and thus no memory is ever lost and every experience can be relived. (That may also be a dream function for the NSA.)

Given time, Google Glass definitely has the potential to give us that fully augmented reality that so many have been asking for. But in answering that desire, it's also brought up some new questions: will we still want it when we have it? Will it overwhelm and shorten our already-minute attention span? Will it make life chaotic or simplify it? And will its intrusion into our perceived privacy and personal space be a cultural issue? The debate has just begun, but so has the technology. From my hour or so with the prototype of Google Glass I got the feeling that it was sort of like the Wright brothers' flying machine—that we still have a way to go before we get to something more like a Lear jet.

As obvious as this may sound, I felt keenly self-conscious that I was wearing a small computer strapped to my head. To be straightforward, I think the main problem with most examples of "wearable tech" is that the emphasis is overwhelmingly put on the tech rather than it being truly wearable. To widen their appeal for when Google Glass becomes commercially available, Google would do well to mind its approach to design so that we don't risk looking like Geordi from Star Trek or a Terminator. It would be smart to partner with established eyewear designers such as Tom Ford or Ray-Ban to create something truly aesthetically pleasing that people would want to wear. Such collaborations could ensure that wearable tech is actually wearable. If not, I feel that Google Glass could quickly go the way of the Bluetooth headset—something that only obnoxious bro-types wear on their heads in 2015.

With Google Glass, I felt the most uncomfortable when I had to announce commands verbally. This is also my problem with Siri and other voice-activated technology; who wants to be the crazy person speaking to a computer? At the time I suggested to the reps from Google that maybe they could have Glass read some kind of rudimentary sign language. Perhaps you could wear a ring or bracelet with a small accelerometer embedded that reads your movements and reports it to Glass. Yep, in my mind's eye I was sorting through files like Tom Cruise in Minority Report. Then again, maybe looking like you're conducting an invisible orchestra is just as crazy as speaking to an invisible computer assistant.

By the sound if it, Google Glass will have immediate competition in the wearable tech space from Apple and Samsung when it hits the wider market in a few months. As you're undoubtedly aware, Apple has reportedly been testing 1.5-inch curved OLED screens that would be perfect for an "iWatch." It's even started trademarking the name in many countries. And this spring, Samsung confirmed development of a smartwatch. From the rumors alone it sounds like the smartwatch concept could be a much more comfortable and acceptable apparatus to use, even if its form means it can't offer the same level of interactivity.

The era of wearable tech that Google Glass and smartwatches are moving us into will be something like the smartphone market seven years ago; we will see wildly different takes on the idea that will filter down into a few tried and tested models that make sense for most people. The one rule I see dominating this emerging industry is that for wearable tech to really make sense it has to enhance our life, not complicate it or intrude upon it.

Firefox OS phone launches Tuesday in Spain at $3 a month

It's not every day that a new mobile operating system arrives, but Tuesday will be one of them as Telefonica begins selling the inexpensive ZTE Open with Mozilla's Firefox OS in Spain.

The move marks the commercial beginning of an effort by phone makers and network operators to use Mozilla's open-source, browser-based operating system to reclaim power in the mobile market lost to Apple and Google.

The phone itself costs 69 euros ($90), including 30 euros ($39) of pay-as-you-go credit, or for those who sign up for a two-year contract, for 2.38 euros ($3.10) per month. That's a lot cheaper than most of the new Android and iOS smartphones on the market today that consumers have flocked toward and against which Firefox OS is designed to compete.

The ZTE Open won't impress smartphone power users who want more than its 3.5-inch 480x320-pixel touchscreen, 3.2MP camera, 256MB RAM, and 512MB flash memory that's boosted with an included 4GB microSD card. But it's not designed to win them over; it's more for new and cost-conscious smartphone buyers, said Yotam Benami, Telefonica's digital director of open Web devices, in an interview.

 So why would a customer buy it? "We're excited about dynamic app search," which finds apps and pages on the Web rather than on app stores. "It's a very personalized experience. You can interact with Web apps in the cloud." He added, "The entire user experience is more simple and streamlined. Many users are frustrated with the complexities of Android," and low cost and long battery life are compelling advantages especially in emerging markets.

This single Firefox OS phone in a single market soon won't be alone. Telefonica also will sell another lower-end phone, the Alcatel One Touch Fire, and will launch the phones in Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia, Benami said.

It's not the only carrier on board. Telenor will launch its first Firefox OS phones in central and eastern Europe later this year, and Deutsche Telekom will do so in Poland. There are also several other Firefox OS supporters, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Sony and LG Electronics that build handsets and sizeable list of carriers.

For many of these allies, Firefox OS provides a way to loosen the mobile marketplace control of Apple and Google, which control not only their operating systems but also the app stores used to distribute software.

"The current dynamics of the mobile ecosystem are problematic for OEMs, for developers, for end users, and for carriers," Benami said. "Firefox resolves many of these issues."

Developers get multiple pathways to market, he said. Hanset makers get new choices and "a path to lower level of litigation," a reference to the swarm of mobile-market lawsuits between the biggest mobile players. And for carriers, "We are not bound by rules set by one particular company that owns the platform."

As the difficulties at Microsoft and BlackBerry have shown, it's hard to compete against Android and iOS. The Firefox OS supporters think they have a recipe that will work, though, in part because of the billions of people who haven't yet entered the market and because the operating uses Web programming that means the developer and app ecosystem isn't starting from scratch.

It's that Web connection that gives Firefox OS its edge over other mobile OS challengers, said Mozilla Chief Operating Officer Jay Sullivan.

"The only remaining ecosystem is going to be around the Web," Sullivan said.

Even though Web pages and Web apps work on Firefox OS devices, there's still a lot of programming work to be done. Challenges include support for multitouch interfaces, learning how to write Web apps that use new interfaces like accelerometers and offline support, and the much broader issue of adapting pages to small screens and slow mobile networks.

For that reason, Mozilla is fleshing out developer documentation and holding evangelism and training events around the world for programmers. And it's promoting the Geeksphone Keon for developers.

Plenty of developers will need a presence on the Web, and they'll be able to reach Firefox OS users, Sullivan argued.

"When you look at the long tail of highly relevant local apps, a lot of people developing those are small local developers," he said. "They don't have the money to develop an iOS app, an Android app, and a Web app."

Sorry Google And Apple: Samsung Unveiled Games Console First

There’s been a flurry of excitement over the last 24 hours after news that Google GOOG +0.32% and Apple AAPL +0.68% were both planning a games’ console. The story first appeared in the Wall St Journal, whose reporters spoke to people inside Google. The Journal does not make clear what type of device Apple and Google plan, but it does suggest that Google’s is related to the next Android release, which is aimed at supporting lower cost Android smartphones for developing markets. So chances are it’s a mobile device.

Now, that makes perfect sense. Games are essential for handset sales in countries like China, which also happens to be Apple’s major growth market. As mobile platforms look to draw people in further down the price range, gaming becomes an essential part of the product mix.

But it is not so straightforward because the WSJ is suggesting the Google and Apple devices could also be living room products like Ouya’s.

    The people briefed on the matter said Google is reacting in part to expectations that rival Apple will launch a videogame console as part of its next Apple TV product release.

    The company’s hardware efforts come as it wraps up development on the next version of Android, which is expected to be released in the fall. Among other things, the software will be better tailored to the lower-cost smartphones prevalent in developing countries with the aim of firming up Android’s market-share globally, said some of the people familiar with the matter.

Is The Handset Market Entering Another Black Summer? Tero Kuittinen Tero Kuittinen Contributor
Samsung Galaxy S4 Opens New Mobile Gaming Options For Gameloft John Gaudiosi John Gaudiosi Contributor
Samsung's New Big Reveal.... Will It Help The S4? Haydn Shaughnessy Haydn Shaughnessy Contributor

But we’ve been here before. And recently. Think back to the Samsung Galaxy S4 unveil in March. Along with the S4 came…. a games controller that can double up as a console. The controller is an adaptable one that can take a range of Samsung devices up to 6.3 inches in length (see picture above).

At the time Digital Trends described it as “an Xbox-like games controller which connects to the phone using NFC and Bluetooth…. Along with connecting to the phone, it also hooks up to Samsung’s official dock, which in turn can be connected by HDMI to your television. In other words, it has got everything to turn the Galaxy S4 into a fully fledged Android console.”

Samsung also announced a small range of games developers including EA were on board with new titles. EA said:

    We’re delighted to be partnered with Samsung to bring some of our fans’ favorite mobile gaming titles to the Samsung Galaxy S4 in time for launch. The device’s higher resolution, larger screen and increased processing power will give our games an opportunity to look even more beautiful for Samsung consumers.

Here on Forbes at the time of the S4 launch, John Gaudiosi reflected on the potential for the S4 to take on the major consoles like the PS4:

    With the advances in processing power in these mobile devices (and Moore’s Law), mobile devices – and the games being developed for them – are quickly catching up with what current generation consoles can do.

The problem at the time was price – $113 for pre-order, dearer that Ouya. Samsung has yet to launch the Game Pad. It is due this summer. In the last week, Apple announced support for third party game consoles in its new OS releases and now we know of Google’s plans. But the trend begins with Samsung.

If Apple and Google are reacting to anything it is to whatever market opportunity Samsung is also reacting to. And that opportunity is predominantly in South East Asia, right now, where games are not a nice-to-have but an essential part of selling a handset.

Even without the Game Pad, Samsung relies on  game-strategy to boost its handset sales in China, where the company operates a successful games-centric App store. Ultra-low cost games are an essential component of handset strategy in China. There, competitor Lenovo is about to launch a new Game World social networking site in response to Samsung’s Chinese language game site. The websites are social sites that show leaderboards and facilitate competition, and are an essential service for handset makers to offer potential customers.

There is in fact a burgeoning market for low cost game consoles in the recently developed world – India, China, Latin America and the Middle East. Options include Woxi Media (Android),  Amkette’s Evo TV, and UK-based Gamestick (Android). But see also Game Pop aimed at markets to the west.

The console wars we’ve all been focused on in the past few weeks is no doubt important but the one on mobile is too. It already arrived. It also makes sense that the main players in mobile are putting momentum into games now – smartphone sales are slowing and handset makers need to draw in new users.  China is Apple’s biggest growth market. But in China people are not inclined to pay high prices for game.  So in a sense, core gamer culture is already being disrupted by mobile there and is now being translated into initiatives and products with visibility here. Samsung though looks ahead of the game.

BlackBerry shares plunge 25% on disappointing earnings

Hold off on that comeback talk.

Shares of BlackBerry plunged 25% in pre-market trading right after its first-quarter earnings failed to impress Wall Street.

The Canadian smartphone maker posted income of $3.one billion, up 15% in the preceding quarter and 9% when compared to final year. BlackBerry also narrowed its losses to $84 million, from $510 million through the identical time in fiscal 2013.

BlackBerry says they shipped six.eight million smartphones through the quarter, but did not specify how many of these gadgets ran the company's new BlackBerry ten operating technique.

"We are nonetheless within the early phases of this launch, but already, the BlackBerry ten platform and BlackBerry Enterprise Service ten are proving themselves to consumers for being incredibly secure, versatile and dynamic mobile computing options," says BlackBerry President and CEO Thorsten Heins within a statement.
Within a quarterly earnings conference get in touch with, Heins stressed BlackBerry 10 is still inside the early phase of its cycle, acquiring been available for five months. "We do not strategy to run the business which has a short-term, device-only tactic," he says.

The success of BlackBerry 10 is critical to the company, since it attempts to vault back into the more and more competitive smartphone race. Apple, Google and Samsung at present dominate the marketplace, though Microsoft continues to press forward with its line of Windows eight mobile devices.

In March, BlackBerry launched the Z10 smartphone, which boasts a full touchscreen, followed from the Q10 with a combination of touchscreen and bodily QWERTY keyboard.

Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Partners, stated it is difficult for BlackBerry mainly because it can be tough to generate income on handsets now.

"There really are a good deal of individuals that have not been in a position to generate it come about. For all the speak about Apple and Samsung, there are companies like Nokia and HTC," Gillis said.

Paypal and SETI are working on space currency

ONLINE PAYMENT FIRM Paypal is working with the SETI Institute on currency that can be used for space commerce.

Who knows what is wrong with real money for commerce? As far as we know people are not trading in space, and no one has ever asked for change for a Martian dollar. Paypal and SETI are hoping to solve this problem before it appears with the launch of Paypal Galactic.

"As space tourism programs are opening space travel to 'the rest of us' this drives questions about the commercialization of space. We are launching Paypal Galactic, in conjunction with leaders in the scientific community, to increase public awareness of the important questions that need to be addressed," said Paypal president David Marcus.

"We may not answer these questions today or even this year, but one thing is clear, we won't be using cash in space. Paypal has already pushed payments into the internet, onto phones and across terrestrial borders. We look forward to pushing payments from our world to the next, and beyond."

Someone who might know something about inter-terrestrial spending is Buzz Aldrin, because if anyone has been close to a papershop in space it's him.

He was on hand to talk about the possibilities offered by Paypal Galactic. "Trips to Mars, the moon, even orbit will require we provide astronauts and astro-tourists with as many comforts from home as possible, including how to pay each other," said Aldrin.

"Whether it's paying a bill, even helping a family member on Earth, we'll need access to money. I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime. When that happens I won't be surprised if people use Paypal Galactic for the little things and the big ones."

Paypal is leading the project, and wants to bring people together to talk about how best to roll out an intergalactic currency that people can use to buy a newspaper on Mars.

Secret court lifts veil, slightly, on Google, Microsoft lawsuits

The most secretive court in the nation, which has been criticized for authorizing domestic surveillance by the National Security Agency, has taken a tiny step toward openness in lawsuits brought by Google and Microsoft.

CNET has learned that Reggie Walton, the presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, told the Obama administration last week that -- barring any objections from the government -- he would take the unusual step of disclosing procedural information about the Internet companies' litigation.

The Department of Justice responded yesterday by saying it had no objections. Neither Google nor Microsoft's legal briefs "contain information that is now classified, nor information that should be held under seal," the department said in a response submitted by John Carlin, the acting assistant attorney general for national security.

Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor now staying in the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airpot, has leaked a series of classified documents that outlined how the spy agency vacuums up Americans' confidential communications. The disclosures have roiled Washington officialdom and prompted a high-level diplomatic tussle over whether or not Russia will deport Snowden to face criminal charges under the Espionage Act.

Google, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, and other Internet companies were left reeling after a pair of articles earlier this month, based on one of Snowden's disclosures, alleged that they provided the NSA with "direct access" to their servers through a so-called PRISM program.

By the next day, however, CNET reported that was incorrect, and the Washington Post backtracked from its original story on PRISM, eventually concluding there is no evidence that "the privacy of any American was illegally or improperly invaded." Google's filing before the surveillance court said the initial news coverage was "misleading," and Microsoft's lawyers called it "inaccurate."

The two companies, which have flatly denied providing any government agency with direct access to their servers, filed the lawsuits to try to clear their names. They say they respond to government requests for individual account data only when they're legally compelled to do so -- in cases ranging from kidnapping to missing persons to terrorist investigations -- and want permission to divulge more information publicly.

Microsoft says it received a combined total of "between 6,000 and 7,000" orders from federal, state, and local government agencies for "between 31,000 and 32,000 consumer accounts" during the six months that ended in December 2012. Facebook's total: up to 10,000 requests for up to 19,000 accounts. Apple's total: up to 5,000 requests for up to 10,000 accounts or devices. Yahoo disclosed receiving up to 13,000 requests, but did not say how many user accounts were swept in. Google has asked for permission to be far more specific.

Walton, the FISC's presiding judge, gave the Justice Department until July 9 to respond to the requests from Google and Microsoft to disclose summary statistics about orders received under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, which became look in 2008. The pair of companies have until July 16 to submit their replies.

Section 702 requires that the government obtain the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court's approval of "targeting" and "minimization" procedures, and that the court review the agencies' certification describing how proposed surveillance techniques will comply with the law. Judges must consider whether the targeting procedures are "reasonably designed" to exclude Americans and purely domestic surveillance.

The Justice Department had the option of objecting to allowing this phase of the litigation to take place publicly by claiming either of the company's requests "contains classified information" or "information that is or should be sealed."

Walton defended the court last week against charges it allowed bulk surveillance by the NSA with limited oversight. In a statement to Reuters, he said: "The perception that the court is a rubber stamp is absolutely false. There is a rigorous review process of applications submitted by the executive branch, spearheaded initially by five judicial branch lawyers who are national security experts, and then by the judges, to ensure that the court's authorizations comport with what the applicable statutes authorize."

Watch Microsoft Unveil Windows 8.1 Preview Live Here

Microsoft is kicking off its Build developer conference today at 9am. The company has already announced that it will unveil Windows 8.1 in a Preview version during today’s event, but beyond that, we actually don’t know all that much about Microsoft’s plans for today’s keynote.

It’s a fair guess that Julie Larson-Green, who is now in charge of Microsoft’s Windows Division, will be there, but in the past, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has also regularly made appearances at Build (he does have a thing for developers, after all). We also expect to hear a bit more about the future of Windows RT and maybe see some new hardware, too.

The keynote is scheduled to start at 9am Pacific and we will embed the live video from Microsoft’s Channel 9 here once it becomes available.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra Phablet Ditches the Stylus, Works with Pen or Pencil

The Sony Xperia Z has yet to hit the U.S., but there’s currently a larger, additional powerful smartphone around the way.

Now in the Mobile Asia Expo in Shanghai, Sony introduced the Xperia Z Ultra. Made to get an entertainment and business device, the Android Jelly Bean 4.2-based phablet functions a 6.4-inch, total HD touchscreen and it is powered by Qualcomm’s most current Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor.

9_Xperia_Z_Ultra_Black_Front

As businesses are wont to complete, Sony is throwing a bunch of superlatives with the smartphone. It is the “world’s slimmest complete HD smartphone,” has the “world’s biggest complete HD display” as well as “world’s quickest smartphone processor,” boasts Sony, but I usually disregard this kind of claims. That mentioned, there are actually a couple of items that makes this smartphone exciting.

Initial, you can use a pencil or a ballpoint pen (that has a tip above 1mm in diameter) to take notes or draw sketches right within the display. With other smartphones and tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Note II, you should use a capacitive stylus to accomplish precisely the same result.

What can make the Xperia Z Utlra’s display distinctive?

Sony advised me that the show has a exclusive style of coating (“Super Tricky Coat ASF” if you’re curious) that allows it to do the job with pencils and pens, and helps safeguard it from scratches as well as other marks. I’ve asked for more information about this feature but have nevertheless to hear back.

A single other matter to note regarding the Xperia Z Ultra’s 6.4-inch, one,920 by one,080 pixel show is that it borrows technologies found in Sony’s TVs called Triluminos. Without getting as well technical, Trimulinos makes use of a distinctive form of backlight technology to show truer colors and much more texture in comparison with standard LED backlighting, so you must appreciate richer, sharper images.

Graphics effectiveness should also obtain a boost, thanks to the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 processor. Initially introduced at CES 2013, the quad-core chipset brings HD voice assistance for better contact top quality, sophisticated voice command activation and much more.

Other attributes of your Xperiz Z Ultra consist of an eight-megapixel camera on back, sixteen gigabytes of inner memory having a microSD expansion slot and 4G LTE assistance. Just like the Xperia Z smartphone and tablet, the phablet is water resistant in up to five feet of fresh water for as much as thirty minutes.

The Xperia Z Ultra is anticipated to launch globally in Q3, but no specifics have been announced today, which include U.S. availability - a market where Sony has struggled to create a identify for itself from the phone small business.

In addition to the Xperia Z Ultra, Sony also announced its next-generation Smartwatch now. You are able to find much more information about it in Lauren Goode’s report here.
