Number of smartphone shipments exceeded a quarterly record of 250 
million in Q3 2013, representing a y-o-y growth of almost 49% from Q3 
2012, and q-o-q growth of 10%, said a report published by <a href="http://www.juniperresearch.com/" target="_blank">Juniper</a>.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
According to the report, Samsung now accounts for a third of all 
smartphones shipped with an estimated 85 million smartphones – a record 
for the company.
<br />
The iPhone accounted for 1 in 7 smartphone shipments during Q3 2013, representing a quarterly growth of 8% from Q2 2013.
<br />
These top end players are expected to continue to witness 
impressive growth next quarter due to seasonality, however, the report 
said, there can be steady decline in growth thereafter especially in 
maturing markets.
<br />
Nokia shipped a record 8.8 million Lumia devices and nearly 6 
million Asha smartphones in Q3 2013, together exceeding LG for the 
second time this year. LG maintained its smartphone shipment pace 
compared to the previous quarter, shipping another 12 million in Q3 
2013, representing a 24% increases year-over-year.
<br />
BlackBerry’s recent results – which run to a different financial 
schedule – are expected to see them ship just under 4 million 
smartphones in Q3 2013. In the three months to the end of August 2010, 
BlackBerry clocked up some 12 million smartphone shipments and more than
 $4.6 billion in revenues; in its most recent quarter, smartphone 
shipments had fallen to a paltry 3.7 million against revenues of less 
than $1.6 billion; the costs of sales were now exceeding the revenues 
earned.
<br />
Huawei, ZTE and LG together shipped over 37 million smartphones in Q3 2013, accounting for a combined market share of 15%.<br />
Juniper report notes that increasingly vendors will be required to 
anticipate customers ‘future needs’, whilst at the same time creating 
‘new needs’ that customers will find desirable. This will become of 
paramount importance as new customers become a scarce resource and 
vendor churn becomes a major factor.</div>

Google’s most ambitious project since driver-less cars has seen a few changes on the hardware side.<br />
These new updates were announced today by Google through a <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleGlass/posts" target="_blank">Google+ post</a>.
 Company said that the original beta hardware for Glass has been updated
 and the developers who were part of the Explorer program (first version
 of Google Glass is called Explorer) will be able to swap their older 
models and can invite further 3 of their acquaintances to buy the $1500 
developer version of the product.<br />
The most prominent update for the Google Glass includes an optional 
mono earbud which connects to the Glass’ microUSB port. Of course, the 
bone-conduction speaker has gone nowhere either.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
The new Glass will also work with a wider variety of prescription glasses and shades.<br />
Google said that all majority of updates (in hardware and software) came through feedback from early users/developers.<br />
Google has also reportedly started the mass production of the Google Glass.<br />
According to a new report by Financial Times, Google is also making 
strides in the production of Glass’ hardware. This recent development 
will allow Google to manufacture ‘tens of thousands’ of units in the 
coming few months.</div>

Nokia Lumia 800: A Phone That Survived Over Three Months Underwater!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
From the aged Nokia 3310 to the latest Nokia Lumia range, Nokia has a
 legacy of producing the most hard-wearing and stout phones.<br />
The Nokia 3310 mobile phone which was released in the fourth quarter 
of 2000, considered to be one of the most indestructible and the 
best-selling phone of that year, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_mobile_phones#2000" target="_blank">selling 126 million units</a>.<br />
According to Nokia’s <a href="http://press.nokia.com/2005/09/21/nokia-introduces-nokia-2652-fold-design-for-new-growth-markets-major-milestone-reached-one-billionth-nokia-mobile-phone-sold-this-summer/" target="_blank">press release</a> from 2005:<br />
<blockquote>
“If all the Nokia 3310/3330 phones sold were laid 
end-to-end, the line would stretch from Helsinki, Finland to Santiago, 
Chile – over 13,500 kilometers.”</blockquote>
In fact, Nokia 3310 related jokes are well-known in the Digital 
World, these puns normally highlights the features that are often 
overlooked in the age of smartphones: durability, long-lasting battery 
life and heavy weight.<br />
In January 2012, the company wrote in one of their blog post,<br />
<blockquote>
“We haven’t failed to notice that one of the older 
children of the Nokia family has recently risen back from the dead. The 
Nokia 3310, introduced in 2000, has started popping up all over the <a href="http://slacktory.com/2012/01/the-indestructible-nokia-3310/" target="_blank">Internet</a>.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
The phone has gained a cult of ambassadors, who have ultimate faith in its indestructible nature.”</blockquote>
A fresh occurrence bolsters the belief on Nokia’s durableness and has
 risen my admiration up following one of these phones has been found in a
 lake after being lost for about three months – and “guess what?” It 
survived.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2LMPLUe47FEJ8py9o-nmyIAV_dWKBJJjpEcv-SNZPRCuFQdIShIQb43hDQA_CqRsL4payzP_T7NLpyIZBgACxCvgSHEFgPN5x6q5sCYwwjGw2rmEej_EIT3TEL0vi1jIDYsPYK5WKC_0/s1600/nokia+lumia+800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2LMPLUe47FEJ8py9o-nmyIAV_dWKBJJjpEcv-SNZPRCuFQdIShIQb43hDQA_CqRsL4payzP_T7NLpyIZBgACxCvgSHEFgPN5x6q5sCYwwjGw2rmEej_EIT3TEL0vi1jIDYsPYK5WKC_0/s1600/nokia+lumia+800.jpg" /></a></div>
Yes! <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>You’ve heard it right, the story has recently gone viral on the Internet which came out from the Sweden’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=725135880838623&set=o.15719890979609&type=1" target="_blank">Roger Nilsson</a>, whose Nokia Lumia 800
 went for a plunge a few months ago in a lake. The conditions of the 
loss were not instantly known, but it was evidently found more than 
three months later, stuck between a couple of rocks.<br />
Roger posted this story on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nokiasverige" target="_blank">Nokia Sweden’s Facebook Page</a>,
 stating that when he spotted his phone lodged between two rocks in the 
lake, it was covered with muck, shells and other waste. He cleaned it 
up, disassembled the whole handset and kept it on a radiator to dry, and
 charged it up.<br />
He claimed that his phone works completely fine without any apparent 
issues, and the battery lasts for a couple of days as usual.<br />
For the device which is not developed to survive in water, and is 
vulnerable to damage like any other regular smartphone in the market 
today is usually equals a death knell and If this story is true, then 
it’s quite an stirring achievement for a device that’s not even rated 
for underwater resistance.</div>

Control Your Android Device From PC, Without USB, WiFi [App Review]

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
When was the first time you heard about the idea of controlling your phone through the internet? From the NSA?<br />
Actually, no. We’ve been hearing about it since the modern smartphone
 came along. Still, so few developers have pulled off the feat 
successfully that the seemingly tireless process feels like a gruelling 
job.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuBYHyS7XVt-SwEbiq3DyNiRy33XR5Vcm3RJRYZ27-vPyqgibUbrUkDYWxkCgfb13n4ykxNJUAUJIsUbNB7-TrBIU77IIV0lcOMgaBRPhPmis7BaDZ3rxx6rAuVuSXgi7OqnIxNPtDHoI/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuBYHyS7XVt-SwEbiq3DyNiRy33XR5Vcm3RJRYZ27-vPyqgibUbrUkDYWxkCgfb13n4ykxNJUAUJIsUbNB7-TrBIU77IIV0lcOMgaBRPhPmis7BaDZ3rxx6rAuVuSXgi7OqnIxNPtDHoI/s1600/1.jpg" /></a></div>
AirDroid, however, is one of the few tools which will make any average user proud.<br />
The app gives simplicity a new definition. After a simple installation and an account register, you’re done<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>. PC installations of any sort? Those don’t exist here as your average Web Browser takes care of that as flawlessly as anything.<br />
Best of all, it is free. At least if you’re just an average Joe.<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Highlights</span></h4>
<ul>
<li>Send & receive SMS from the comfort of your computer.</li>
<li>Move photos, videos, ringtones and any other files on and off Android, all without a USB cable.</li>
<li>Locate and lock your Android when it’s lost. Cannot get it back? Simply wipe all data remotely.</li>
<li>Easier way of app search, installation and apk export.</li>
<li>See through the lens of your Android camera, front and back. Or stream the screen of your Android in nearly real-time.</li>
<li>Call contact, share clipboard content, push url to Android and more</li>
<li>Price: Free</li>
</ul>
<h4>
<b>The Mobile App</b></h4>
In order to make the system work, you’ll need a Wi-Fi for your 
smartphone/tablet and a good connection for your PC, or a USB cable to 
get connected. If you don’t have both the connectivity options even then
 you can get connected with your Android device through Mobile Internet.
 Its all there.<br />
The mobile app doesn’t do all that much, apart from offering device 
details and managing files in a clean and fluid interface, but it’s 
still a crucial part of the equation. (One cool thing it offers is the 
QR Code scanning through its webpage which triggers the app.)<br />
In order to improve the battery life, it’s highly recommended that 
you exit this app after every use. It certainly helps as I myself 
noticed it depleting the battery juice faster than usual on my phone.<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Web app</span></h4>
The Web app is the centre of all the interest. Unlike several other 
similar apps, AirDroid doesn’t require any additional installation or a 
PC client whatsoever. It itself has taken a few design cues from here 
and there and shows your phone’s status and notifications. All-in-all, 
it’s quite usable.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
The good thing here is that it doesn’t feel gimmicky and works just 
fine. Music files play, photos and videos can be viewed (though the 
latter uses QuickTime) and apps can be moved or uninstalled.<br />
The real treat it offers, however, is the seamless file transfer. My 
Nexus 10 appears quite problematic when connected to a PC via a microUSB
 cable but with this, it transferred files like a breeze and operated 
without a hitch. Same was the story with my phone. Uploading a few 
important files and my music right from the PC never felt as convenient.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7iumgTMOnc5cCd5deFbdpT9lObM5qrlcMHLomY13N8N-6aMxOWHxNsRYsugLeBfJ7yzLaFESwC94g_QZFG3Qb9JNFgJE-3m6DeOEPiF7wdBaEgcJPjqhAvLBaBo3Cuk89ZVlKrWSVDs/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7iumgTMOnc5cCd5deFbdpT9lObM5qrlcMHLomY13N8N-6aMxOWHxNsRYsugLeBfJ7yzLaFESwC94g_QZFG3Qb9JNFgJE-3m6DeOEPiF7wdBaEgcJPjqhAvLBaBo3Cuk89ZVlKrWSVDs/s1600/2.jpg" /></a></div>
Sending messages is just as easy as it can be and if you find it 
difficult to type long messages on a touchscreen, you certainly won’t 
get any better than this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoElKSqVV59havpN38l9tAkfN2tUA_0yoy80p5Olz-6YLsfCmTXS8BN2gGbYsidUeSYWV5fnzFwmOttkqv-EgCKJWtgxGFWceiu-texJGtL45uPFmm5D81jhcssKpuqRfP3qDOT6mtzw0/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoElKSqVV59havpN38l9tAkfN2tUA_0yoy80p5Olz-6YLsfCmTXS8BN2gGbYsidUeSYWV5fnzFwmOttkqv-EgCKJWtgxGFWceiu-texJGtL45uPFmm5D81jhcssKpuqRfP3qDOT6mtzw0/s1600/3.png" /></a></div>
I was, however, less impressed with the find my phone feature. When I
 first tried to locate my device using the Web app, it thought I was 
near a city called Oakhurst in California. On my second attempt, it 
denied my existence. Funny enough. It did ring, however, when I 
activated the sound remotely from my desktop.<br />
Also, in order to get the most out of it, your phone needs to be 
rooted. Screenshots, for instance, can’t be taken without rooting your 
phone. Still, screwing your device for just a single app doesn’t sound 
too sensible to us.<br />
Now of course, normal usage is free of cost but if you’re a 
power-user, it’s recommended that you get the premium version of the app
 which gives you the freedom to transfer up to 100 MB files (up from 10 
MB which is allowed in free mode), 5 GB data limit, ability to see 
through the lens of your camera and better support from the developers.<br />
Pricing is a bit steep though. Plans start from $1.99/month.<br />
Still, if what you plan on doing with it is moderate file transfer 
like photos, videos or the like, then this app does the job better than 
most. Messaging, web browsing and seeing content from the eye of the 
internet sounds cool but isn’t actually quite useful but if transferring
 data is your thing and you have a good Wi-Fi, then this app is a 
must-have. I would give it a strong 9 out of 10.<br />
Go and Download <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&hl=en" target="_blank">AirDroid from here.</a></div>

Project Ara: Motorola Efforts to Make a Detachable Smartphone to Last Forever

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Just if you recall, we recently had posted a write-up about a Mobile Phone that will last forever.<br />
For those who don’t have any idea about Phonebloks:<br />
<blockquote>
A smartphone built on Phonebloks is basically a compound 
of detachable bloks. The bloks are connected to the base which locks 
everything together into a solid phone, allowing the user to build their
 own mobile depending on individual requirements.<br />
If a blok breaks you can simply replace it; if it is becoming stale just upgrade it.</blockquote>
You can read more about Phonebloks here.<br />
Well, Motorola had started working on this very concept, which was 
unveiled just now. Motorolla calls it the ‘Project Ara’ that will let 
its users to customize their smartphones. Users would be allowed to 
switch between diverse hardware modules to assemble their desirable 
Mobile Phone, just like apps.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Led by Motorola’s Advanced Technology and Projects group, Project Ara
 is developing a free, open hardware platform for actualizing this 
highly modular smartphones. It values mentioning that this group is 
working with <a href="http://www.twitter.com/davehakkens" target="_blank">Dave Hakkens</a> – a same person who set forth this notion through his Phonebloks Mobile Phone at first place.<br />

Whilst Motorola already allows its users to customize some external 
design elements of its Moto X phones, the new project will grant users 
to choose the look as well as internals of their own phone, and even
