The iPhone has gained 10 percent of absolute share since August to reach 50 percent while Symbian has fallen again to 25 percent. Apple has identical share in the US.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/admob.sees.apple.android.jump.in.oct.09/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/16/palm.releases.webos.131.for.pre.pixi/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/palmpre-flash.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm on Friday announced users of the Pre smartphone on both the Sprint network and Bell in Canada will receive an automatic over-the-air software update to webOS 1.3.1.

A leaked note regarding an upcoming ad series, nicknamed "iDoesn't," specifically targets the "iDevice" and will allegedly focus on all the features the iPhone doesn't have.

Backing a scoop from earlier in the week, a source for AppleInsider says Microsoft has poorly managed the project and squandered the acquisition of Sidekick creator Danger from 2008.

Apple's smartphone climbed ten points from an earlier score to 811 out of 1,000 while its closest rival, LG, managed just a four-point increase to 776.

While it trails today, the mobile OS is predicted to climb to 14.5 percent of the market, or about 76 million phones sold per year, by the end of 2012. As a consequence, it would whittle Symbian's market share down to 39 percent (203 millio... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/android.2nd.place.in.share.in.3.years/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:30:00 GMT
