iOS surpasses Linux as browsing platform (No Comments)
os analyticsSeems like only yesterday that Linux was vastly outpacing iOS in terms of how many were using it as a browsing platform. Actually, make that last November; at that time, Linux's presence more than doubled the total iOS stake. Now, iOS-based browsers claim 1.13 percent of all browsing platforms, compared to a declining 0.85 percent for Linux.

To the right is a screengrab from Google Analytics, as I see traffic coming to one of my own websites. However, I'm sure the list looks very different depending on the content. For example, I'm pretty sure TUAW's #1 OS isn't any flavor of Windows (but I'll check).

How long before the total of all mobile-only OS clients outranks desktop OS users in this area?

Analyst: Apple producing more iPads (No Comments)
Analyst Katy Huberty from Morgan Stanley tells All Things D that she believes Apple is ramping up production on the iPad, aiming to build as many as three million a month by the end of this year. That would mean that the company could make 36 million iPads next year, which brings the total close to (but not quite) the whopping 40 million units predicted by her supply chain analysis. Sales estimates for next year started out around 10 million iPads, but have since risen to as high as 42 million units, which would be quite a year for a product that didn't exist before this past April.

Currently, says Huberty, Apple is producing about two million iPads a month, and that's brought shipping times on the website down, and helped availability across the board. But the manufacturing process needs to be refined even further, and of course if, as expected earlier next year, the device sees a revision, that may delay things even further. There seems to be one thing most analysts agree on, however: Apple is going to sell a whole lot of iPads in 2011.

Doodle Jump si aggiorna ed aggiunge l’alta definizione per i Display Retina di iPhone 4 ed iPod Touch (No Comments)


E’ appena stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento per Doodle Jump molto atteso da diversi utenti. Il giochino infatti, è tra quelli più scaricati in assoluto dall’AppStore e consiste semplicemente nel saltare sempre più in alto attraverso delle piattaforme mobili e fluttuanti.

Dovremo anche stare attenti ai nemici e alle proprietà delle varie piattaforme che ci ostacoleranno nella nostra scalata. L’aggiornamento ci permette di arrivare alla versione 1.23 con le seguenti novità:

  • Aggiunto il supporto al Retina Display per tutti gli utenti iPhone 4 ed i nuovi “giocatori” che a breve riusciranno a mettere le mani sul nuovo iPod Touch
  • Anche tutti i temi per questo gioco sono stati aggiornati con la grafica HD

E se siete stanchi di saltare sempre più in alto, vi ricordiamo che esiste un altro gioco completamente made in Italy, chiamato uFall in cui dovrete cercare di andare sempre più in basso, evitando di toccare le spine che caleranno dall’alto. Anche in questo caso troviamo diversi tipi di piattaforme con proprietà uniche, che estenderanno il divertimento.

Grazie ioTrava per la segnalazione

“Siti web in Flash? c’è un telefono per questo”: la nuova campagna anti-iPhone di Motorola (No Comments)

Sulle pagine del New York Times è apparsa oggi una nuova pubblicità del Motorola Droid 2 che sbeffeggia Apple e la mancanza del supporto a Flash Player.

“Flash Websites? There’s A Phone For That“, questa la nuova campagna di Motorola che pone l’attenzione sulla mancanza del supporto a Flash Player da parte di Apple su iPhone e iPad.

Lo slogan riprende chiaramente quello proprio di Apple “there’s an app fot that” e Motorola, con questa mossa, spera di conquistare nuovi utenti, magari “rubandoli” ad Apple.

Ricordiamo che in passato Motorola aveva già proposto una pubblicità ironica contro Apple, ed in particolare sbeffeggiando il problema di ricezione su iPhone 4. Peccato che poche settimane dopo anche il Motorola Droid 2 soffrisse dello stesso “problema”.

Certo, Flash è per molti una mancanza importante sugli iDevice ed è fuor di dubbio che alcuni siti, purtroppo, rimangono per noi ancora inaccessibili. Steve Jobs ha più volte ribadito che Flash su dispositivi mobile è più danno so che altro, a causa dell’enorme mole di risorse richieste, i crash improvvisi ed altri piccoli problemi.
