APPLE:update

Apple releases iOS 4.3 two days earlier than officially planned

Today we were nicely surprised to see iTunes greet us with the latest iOS 4.3 software for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 well ahead of schedule. The update brings a handful of improvements including faster web browsing, iTunes Home sharing support, enhanced AirPlay support and, of course, the Mobile hotspot functionality.

In general, there's nothing new we didn't already know about. Nevertheless, the update is a major step forward for the devices lucky enough to get it.

We, personally, welcome the new Safari Javascript engine, which is noticeably quicker than the old one. A performance improvement is always welcome.

With the release of the iPad 2, Apple announces the upcoming iOS 4.3 software. It was announced by Steve Jobs that the new iOS will feature faster Safari browsing due to Nitro JavaScript engine, iTunes Home Sharing, Personal Hotspot as well as other features.

The iOS 4.3 will be released together with the iPad 2 on March 11th. It will be compatible with the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touches 3rd and 4th generations.

Mobile brands 

Nokia remained at the top of the handset market, but lost a chunk of its lead. LG, Sony Ericsson and RIM also suffered major losses, while Apple saw some astounding growth - bagging a top four spot, ahead of RIM and Sony Ericsson! Samsung held on to its fifth spot. HTC and Motorola, although not on the list for now, are also quickly gaining market share, and might pose a serious threat to Apple and RIM in 2011.

At home in India, it's the domestic brands that have made the most impact, taking chunks of market shares away from Nokia and Samsung. We have a really complex market, with about 35 brands competing in a cut-throat business. In India, Nokia's share fell from 54 per cent at the end of June 2009 to 36.3 per cent in June 2010. In contrast, the top four domestic brands (Micromax, Spice, Karbonn and Lava) together account for nearly 33 per cent of the sales. Now Nokia has contested these figures, and these numbers are usually consumed with a pinch of salt, but it's undeniable that the Indian brands are on the rise .. The Top 5 according to IDC were Nokia, Samsung, G'Five, LG, and Micromax.....
