Android Gains market share over competitors.

Apple has a trend of releasing a new version of the iPhone every summer and at this point there market share is expected to shoot up.  Despite claims the phone is selling “really well” they have in fact not been selling well enough. They have been beat by the Google phone market, Android.

With the comScore in the smartphone sector the android gained 5% market share for the Google phone market while all the other platforms declined. Apple lost 1.3%, RIM 1.8% and Microsoft 2.2%. Microsoft are currently in a pre Windows phone 7 limbo, which is obviously effecting there sales at the moment. I suspect windows mobile professionals and windows mobile users in general will be leaping at the business mobile with a full host of windows mobile applications for them to get their hands on.

RIM has been steadily losing their market share after dominating the business mobiles sector for so long. They are still in command but as other work phones gain popularity there share is in decline. With this in mind it's no surprise that android have filled the gap with a solid platform.

It's important to look at this in perspective though. The smartphone market is continually growing and for the period in question it grew 11%. This means that both Apple and Android were on the rise but with Android growing faster.

Blackberry: Bold 9700 Pros: Intuitive, feature-packed email, great QWERTY keyboard and responsive touchpad

Cons: Limited customisation of home screen.

Killer App: Email – A full featured email interface lets you flag and prioritise, and the Bold 9700 supports push-email for Microsoft exchange as well as popular web mail.

Verdict: Still the ultimate messaging device and the slickest, quickest blackberry yet.

-----

Blackberry: Pearl 3G

Pros: Top of the line email, along with HSDPA and Wi-Fi in a pocket friendly body.

Cons: Browser doesn’t auto fit non-mobile sites and the track pad is slightly unresponsive.

-----

HTC: Touch Pro 2 Pros: Perfectly spaced QWERTY keyboard, flip-activated speakerphone and push-email.

Top 5 business mobile apps for September

Cab4me - Free - Android

Cab4me enables you to find the number of local cab firms based on where you are at the time using the power of Google maps.

The map could be very handy, just image when you step out of a meeting late at night and you haven't really got a clue of your location. The app will automatically detect where you are. In the event of poor signal you can manually enter a street name etc. The app will also find reviews of the firms and then allow you to call them directly.

As for the younger crowd, this app could pay of dividends when on drunken nights out in new locations.

ServerUp - Android

This is the app for the IT manager. The app allows you to quickly and easily check the status of your network and web servers. If your server unfortunately goes down you will find out before the panicked phone calls start rolling in. The app runs on £G, wi-fi and ping, trace route, whoIs are all supported. SysAdmins rejoice. 

Do Not Disturb - Blackberry

The do not disturb Blackberry app allows you to automatically filter phone calls. For example if you’re in the office and you don't want unknown numbers calling you, they can be filtered out and blocked.

Perhaps you finished work and don't want unknown numbers from ringing from 7pm to 7am, consider them gone. All done without turning your phone off or silencing your phone.

iTalk Recorder - Free - iPhone

Great handy tool. This app basically converts your phone into an audio recorder. Handy if you want to keep minutes from a meeting or recall important parts.

The interface is superbly simple, you just name the file and select the quality, obviously the better the quality the bigger the file size. The app also allows you to pause and resume recordings.

Scan2PDF - Windows 

This app lets you take advantage of your phones camera. Basically it allows you to take a picture of a document convert it to PDF and then email it forward. If you don’t need perfect quality it makes things easy doing away with the need for a Fax.

You can receive a refund if coverage is inadequate in your area within a 14 day period of buying. The new coverage guarantee means that managers of stores have to refund customers who report bad reception at home or work. In the past computerised coverage maps were used to deduce a refund.

Matt Stringer, MD of Carphone Warehouse, said: ‘Some customers have reported that they can be put off switching network operator because they are worried about bad reception in their home or office. With the Coverage Guarantee we’re leading the way in giving consumers the confidence to choose the network deal best for them, secure in the knowledge they can change if necessary.’
