Mobile

  • Andy Rubin is stepping down from leading Android. Sundar Pichai will take over, alongside running Chrome and Apps at Google.
  • Opera put the beta for its Webkit - based version in the Google Play Store. It has a 3.9 / 5 star rating and under Opera Mobile (4.5 stars). Features promoted in the first - run experience are: off - road mode (switcher to proxy browsing), Speed Dial and Discover (content recommendation engine). The overall performance is good and smooth. The Discover feature gathers news based on location, the default one was the United States, even though I wasn't in the US when I installed it. The Settings menu is in the upper right corner and has a counter for data savings when enabling Off - Road Mode, in Bytes and %s.
  • Opera re - organized its advertisement business into one subsidiary called Opera Mediaworks. The re-organization will allow easier evaluation of the company, making potential acquisition talks easier. This comes one month after its founder sold shares to reduce its stake to only 5.18%.
  • Chrome Beta for Android includes an experimental feature for proxy - browsing. Google claims it reduces data usage by 50%.
  • New Android version distribution numbers: Gingerbread (more than 2 years old) at over 40% of the market, followed by ICS (more than 1 year old) at 29% and Jelly Bean (15%). A new version of Android expected at Google I/O in May.
  • Specs of a rumoured new Facebook phone produced by HTC surfaced. It's a mid - range device, with dual - core 1.5 GHZ Qualcomm processor, 1 GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, running on Jelly Bean. Launch is expected this spring for the US.
  • Apple share in India spikes because of a new distribution model they employed. Instead of relying on own retail stores or carrier distribution they worked with small retail places and creating amortized payment plans to incentivize acquisition.
