Google Plans For Android Home-Own Branded Wireless Home Entertainment System


You may remember during last year’s Google I/O when Google showed off their vision for a fully connected living room, better known as “Android Home” That was all the way back in May, and if you’re wondering why you haven’t heard any news or rumblings from the Google camp, you wouldn’t be alone. Developers too, have been receiving the same silent treatment without so much as a peep from the boys at Google. But after some new developments reported from theWall Street Journal, we may now know why.
Google has been busy developing their very own wireless home-entertainment system — also known as Project Tungsten — to be marketed under big G’s own brand and will launch later this year. I know, it sounds a little far fetched seeing how Google normally likes to stay holed up in their cloud with their software and internet services, but it almost makes sense. Smartphones, televisions and now an entertainment hub — all connected to each other –  providing a seamless,wireless experience for the consumer.

The Mobile Internet Explosion In India


The interesting revolution in internet usage through Mobile devices made it as target of all smart phone vendors to establish their market in India. Came across this really interesting presentation about the growth of mobile internet in India. 

Three factoids that strike me as being interesting:
1. 71% of India’s population uses mobile phones – that is 858,370,000 individuals!

2. While there are so many mobile phones, internet penetration is still very low – as low as 8%.
3. 59% of India’s internet users only ever access the internet via mobile devices.

Internet Usage Via Mobile Devices Doubled In The Past Few Years - Nokia Takes The Lead


People are more comfortable using internet at their own convenience, which means being in the easiest of positions and what more can be an easier way to access internet than through your very own mobile device? Even the statistics support this statement, which is now a fact. According to a report by Web analytics firm, StatCounter, global internet access through mobile devices has almost doubled in the past few years since 2009. The trend is on the rise and it is the best news both telecom companies and mobiles manufacturers want to hear. They know for sure their targets are being achieved and increasing their customer base.

However, in this report, tablets are not accounted for. The report further elaborates that the total percentage of global browsing on devices like mobile phones has grown from 4.3% to 8.5% since January 2011. It seems like the craze for smartphones and iPads have generated a lot for internet accessibility. Mobile manufacturers like NOKIA , Apple, and SAMSUNG are making hay in all this sunshine, and Nokia is doing it more than Apple and Samsung. According to the statistics, Nokia is ahead in mobile vendors on the global scale with 38% of the market share, Apple is almost 10 points down, with 29%, and Samsung is at 15% of the market share, but ahead of RIM.

Apple May Partner With Existing Cable Operators For iTV


Apple's iTV ventures has aroused a lot of speculation from users and investors alike. While Apple hasn't officially given away much of the details, a number of analysts have presented all the options that Apple may avail in going forward with this venture. Recently, Peter Misek, a Wall Street analyst with Jefferies provided a kind of 'what is' analysts for Apple's iTV ventures. Misek presents the many different options that Apple may avail in getting it's content for iTV.

The first option, Misek said, could be that Apple partners with existing cable operators and carriers. In this way, Apple brings to iTV all the content that is being provided by other content providers, but at the same time Apple has the advantage of it’s content directly from iTunes. Moreover, Apple can revamp the interface and embed it deep into it’s own ecosystem. This will definitely make Apple’s iTV services far better than the current market competitors. This, according to Misek, is the most likely route that Apple is going to take.
