The Galaxy only evolves slightly but it makes iPhone 5 look more and more out of date. Samsung launched the Galaxy S4 with much fanfare but admitted that the device is really an evolution rather than a revolution. Larger screen, industry leading pixel density, faster processor with 8 cores and some funky software tweaks were...
Mike Lynch will not be losing any sleep tonight. The news that both the FBI and the SFO (UK Serious Fraud Office) have opened investigations into alleged wilful accounting misrepresentations means nothing. The FBI opened its investigation in November 2012 while the SFO began investigating on February 6th 2013 according to HPQ’s routine quarterly SEC...
If Samsung can’t sell Windows RT, no one can. Samsung is pulling Windows RT from Europe and I am certain that the rest of the PC market will follow. This confirms what I have feared since last summer. Until there is no discernable difference between a Windows device running ARM and one running Intel, Windows...
Switching foundries is not necessarily great news for any of the players. Apple and Intel are certainly talking and while a foundry deal is not unlikely, I don’t see Apple switching to x86 in the iPhone any time soon. Intel has long been and is likely to remain one to two generations ahead of everyone...
Cash needs to be the number 1 priority at Twitter. I am a big fan of the service but I don’t pay a dime for it and I never see any advertising. There are several hundreds of millions of people like me and Twitter must start to monetise us properly if it is to be...
Fragmentation in Android is likely to get worse this year not better. The fragmentation of Android is an issue that has plagued the ecosystem since the day that it launched. It suffers from both horizontal fragmentation where handset makers make alterations for their own purposes and vertical fragmentation where there are lots of different...
History looks ready to repeat itself at LGE. LGE has proudly announced that it has cumulatively sold 10m LTE devices but, if history repeats itself, that will be the end of the good news. LGE entered the market for 4G devices early and as a result has managed to achieve a market share with margins...
At this year’s show, what was missing is actually much more interesting. It was all downhill from Monday, with very little news being announced but plenty of activity on the floor. Against that backdrop it is probably more valuable to look at what was missing rather than bemoan the lack of news flow. First...
MWC is bigger than ever but the frantic rushing around has given way to a more leisurely stroll. I very much doubt that I am alone in sitting here at the end of day 1 staring a blank screen and wondering what to fill the page with. There were a few announcements...

Broadcast TV – The end is nigh
Users are not waiting. The move away from broadcast has begun. The TV broadcast industry remains in denial but the figures are beginning to show that the days of subscribing to broadcast packages are numbered. Nielsen has released the latest version of its cross platform report and for the first time it properly recognises and...
