Before we jump into this, I want to first of all say that something really important happened recently. Actually, it’s not that important – but in-case you haven’t already heard; Instagram will be making its way to Windows sometime in the near future. In more important news, as expected Gartner confirms PC sales continuing to decline YOY, and tablets will amount to the same amount of PC sales by just 2014 (next year). Indeed, tablet shipment grew by 53.4% this year while the PC market went down another 4.5%. Needless to say, Android OS dominance will not be overtaken by Apple anytime soon.

Indeed as Google breaks into the $1,000 per-share rankings for the first time ever, Apple remains at around $500; not even close to where it was around this time last year prior to the iPhone 5 release (having broken the $700’s for the first time ever).

I found it interesting however that while one of these execs went to eBay, the other went to Jawbone. Jawbone.

Indeed, the top grossing app of all time (on iOS) has sold 51% of their company to Gunho and Softbank. GungHo was responbile for 20% of the purchase, while software represented the rest.

This makes two games in the top five for both King and Supercell. Distimo reports that the market share distribution did not change compared to August, and that Apple’s App Store still commands 65% of market compared to Google Play’s 35%. Since it...

No doubt the fact that I’m pairing these two topics is to be even considered coincidence. Fact of the matter is, according to Juniper Research nearly 1.3 billion smartphone devices (which includes smartphones, feature phone, and tablets) will have mobile security software installed by 2018. This could be due to the fact that consumers are just now becoming more aware of cyber attacks (especially on android) and are willing to start looking into having some type of security on their device(s). Juniper found that cyber criminals are indeed moving towards mobile devices vs continuing to focus their efforts on PC’s (yay for media producers like me). Trend Micro’s suspects...
