Mobile Patent Lawsuits Galore

It looks like everyone is suing everyone, and the most aggressive player: Nokia. The most famous incident is Nokia trying to stop iPhone from being sold in EU, and Apple is doing the same to Nokia in US.

It looks like the blood hounds are being let loose, because some folks think some folks think that mobile market is the new big thing. I guess it’s just a safer bet to put their money on mobile related things since it’s the ‘in’ thing now. What happened to looking forward to the next hit? That’s my take

Nokia C5 - review of the latest offering from Nokia

Nokia has just announced the realease of a new smartphone in the new Nokia C Series, the Nokia C5. This block designed phone still maintains the Nokia look and feel.

The C5 uses stainless steel in the design, but overall this is a very lightweight device coming in at just 89 grams and 112 x 46 x 12mm in size. The C series is expected to go from 1 to 10 to reflect on where a phone will sit within the range. On this basis the C5 will be smack in the middle.

The Nokia C5 is expect to use Symbian s60 3rd Edition. The C5’s display is a 2.2″ 240 x 320 pixel non-touchscreen display. The camera is a basic but functional 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, 3.5G data connectivity, integrated GPS, microSD expandable memory, a multimedia player, 3.5mm audio socket, FM radio and USB and Bluetooth connectivity.

Price and availability wise, the Nokia C5 should command a price tag of around €135 and is expected to become available sometime in Q2.

The first new Cseries - C5 - Recession friendly social networking smartphone?

It was leaked a while ago, but now it’s official.

“We are introducing the new Nokia C5, an affordable smartphone optimized for social networking and sharing. More details will follow.”

Nokia

I wonder exactly how affordable this is. Sub £80?

So…is this a death to the NUMBERS only cheapo/mid-range Nokias with unmemorable names?

Gaining some direction

The world is becoming a very lazy place to navigate, with Sat Nav becoming a commonplace feature on a lot of mobile handsets now - I do worry that the skill of being able to read a map is going to disappear. Whilst this may threaten the traditional names in navigation such as TomTom and Garmin it is opening up the possibilities of doing more with navigation and mapping both online and in a handheld format. And that has to be a good thing.

Geolocation services are springing up on more and more Apps and allowing people to interact more not only with their environment but also the people within it. A quick can of the “Nearby” function on Tweetie at any major event is a great way to gauge reaction and also see who is there!

I am very impressed with how Nokia have adopted the navigation and mapping services. They have made it part of the core functionality since the Nokia N80 and really got to grips with things with the Nokia N95, offering turn by turn voice navigation bundled with a lot of their contracts. It should be no surprise then that they were responsible for one of the world’s largest interactive installations recently in London. Check out the video below of their textable sign and integrated online campaign. It is beautifully executed and fabulously innovative.

Apple and Android are big winners of 2009

The sales of mobile phones stagnated last year, as a result of the recession.  But smartphones were the exception.  According to figures by Gartner, 24% more smartphones were sold in 2009 compared to the year before.  Nokia, Blackberry and Apple together sold about 172 million smartphones.

Also important changes as to the operating system of mobile devices.  Even though half of the smartphones still use Nokia’s Symbian, it is clearly losing ground.  Microsoft Windows Mobile is also on the losing side, being pushed out of the top 3 by iPhone OS.  In 2009, iPhone doubled its amount of units sold from 11,8 to 24 million. 
Big runner-up is Android.  The 6,8 million units sold in 2009 were 10 times as much as the year before. According to Google’s Eric Schmidt, there are about 60.000 Google Android phones sold every day now.  At that rate there’ll be more Android phones than iPhones by 2011.

Apple Doubles iPhone Distribution Numbers In 2009

In some recent research on the distribution volume of the iPhone, analyst firm IDC released the figures that Apple put up during the 2009 calendar year, doubling the numbers of the previous year and clinching the third berth among smartphone creators. Apple owning about 15% of the smartphone market landscape saw an increase of distribution of 82% compared to the previous year in ‘08. Another study released from Gartner, compares the consumption of smartphone based on OS (operating systems) opposed to the manufacturer. Despite information being calculated differently, the same numbers resulted displaying Apple 15% share of the landscape. Another observation made in the research published was the gap between Apple, Research in Motion (Blackberry) and Symbian (Nokia). According to the chart, Apple has made a tremendous stride into overtaking RIM with the 2× jump in distribution and Symbian has seem to lose of traction in the 2009 year, losing 5½% of their market-share assumably to RIM and iPhone OS.
