Nokia Growth Rate Slows – Apple Is Very Disruptive and Gaining Market Share

0

 

 

A reader pointed out that we missed the major news in our earlier post on Nokia today. Notice that while global handset shipments of Nokia moved from 107.8 million units to 108.5 million units from 2010 (Q1) to 2011 (Q1), Apple moved from 8.8 million units to 18.6 million units in the same period. That is still an increase for Nokia, however, it is losing ground as rivals are growing faster.

 

“Nokia shipped 108.5 million phones of which smartphones accounted for 24.2 million (up 13 per cent year-on-year) while feature phone sales fell back by two per cent to 84.3 million shipments,” part of the report read.

 

–original post–

The news is out. Apple Inc. overtook Finland’s Nokia Corp. to claim the top spot in handset revenue in the Q1 of 2011, when Apple racked up record sales of its iPhone, according to research and consulting firm Strategy Analytics Inc.

 

In 2010, Apple was No. 1 in smartphone revenue, taking home 29 percent of the market value, according to Strategy Analytics. Apple had just 16 percent of the total smartphone unit volume in 2010, according to the firm.

 

The report shows that while Nokia is still a king in volume, Apple beats it in the revenue. In Q1 2011, Apple brought in $11.9b while Nokia raked $9.4b. In the same period in 2010, Nokia had $8.9b to Apple $5.3b. This report shows how far the global recovery has come as the revenue stream of these two firms were impressive over a year-to-year comparison.

Yahoo Mail Is Down Most of Today – Too Bad

0

We are experiencing a major problem. Yahoo Email is down on some of our personal accounts. Are you feeling this? What is the solution? It has been down for more than 3 hours? Is Yahoo going bankrupt? What is the problem. Any idea?

 

This guy captured the feeling better.

 

While most folks have migrated to Gmail and forgotten about Yahoo! Mail, I’m pretty sure quite a number of users that haven’t made the switch are feeling quite frustrated right now. The US’ largest web portal’s email service has been reported to be down for a large number of users. Just search Twitter for “Yahoo Mail down” and you should see the number of complaints posted. It is uncertain what went wrong, but most people suspect it has something to do with the new Yahoo! Mail Beta rollout – as most of the users unable to login are part of the Beta testing group.

 

But it appears that not everybody is affected – even some Beta users have stated that their Yahoo! Mail accounts working fine, so nobody knows for sure what the root of the problem is. Yahoo! has issued a statement concerning the downtime, but they didn’t mention what the problem is either – just that they’re working hard to get it fixed.

 

Yahoo mail is currently inaccessible to some users. We are working to correct the issue and restore all functionality immediately. We know that this may have caused some inconvenience and we apologize to our users who might be affected.

 

How many of you are having trouble accessing your Yahoo! Mail today? Stay tuned and we’ll keep you posted on any updates.

The World Sent 6.1 trillion SMS (Short Message Services) in 2010

0

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recent StatShot document shows that the world sent a total of 6.1 trillion short message services (SMS) in 2010. The trend has moved from 2.8 trillion SMS messages sent in 2008; 4.3 trillion in 2009; and then 6.1 trillion in 2010, which shows the growth of 1.8 trillion.

 

The question is thus: is the ring tone becoming obsolete? If the world continues to SMS this way, ring tone companies better watch.

 

The International Telecommunication Union (Union internationale des télécommunications, in French) is the specialized agency of the United Nations which is responsible for information and communication technologies. ITU coordinates the shared global use of the radio spectrum, promotes international cooperation in assigning satellite orbits, works to improve telecommunication infrastructure in the developing world and establishes worldwide standards (wikipedia)
