Smartphone Market Share Breakdown (US only)

Who got the biggest slice of cake (market share) in US smartphone market? According to Nielsen, Android OS hold the biggest share market, followed by iPhone. The charts below are based on Q2 of 2012.

Apple is the biggest if we count by company, but when Samsung, HTC, and Motorola and other Android phone maker join forces, iPhone drop to 2nd place, muahahaha.

I am surprised that Windows Mobile (WM in the chart) market segment is still bigger than Windows Phone7, plus Symbian, plus Palm/WebOS. Hey, not bad for a very very old mobile OS. I am still using my HTC Touch Elfin, which runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.

Nokia X7 - review

It is another busy week for me, so I am just going to post some video that I grep from WWW. Should have change my blog title to to "outdated and lazy Uncle" :P
Anyway, Nokia is trying very hard to compete to other smartphone manufacturer, but somehow still lagging behind. See the Nokia X7 review video after the jump to find out how. Boy, I look at the spec at gsmarena and it really an outdated stuffs Nokia put in it.



Why do I say it is bad smartphone design, coz it is running Symbian Anna OS with 680 MHz ARM 11 processor. That is really slow! However Nokia compensate it with a very good quality build.
