Android Surpasses iPhone Sales for Q2 2010

August 13th, 2010

A recent report from Gartner said that Android OS has surpassed iPhone sales of mobile phones for the second quarter of 2010. Cross platform Android and iPhone developers would be more than just happy to know their favorite OS competing actively. This is amazing news for Android lovers even though not an alrming one for Apple. The report mentioned that about 10.6 million phones run on Android OS which represent 17.2% 2010 market share. iPhone stood at 8.74 million iOS phones with a 14.2% 2010 market share. Once again the top 2 Mobile OS share is dominated by Symbian with 41.2% of the market and RIM with 18.2% of the market.

Analyzing the possible reasons I feel that the shortage of iPhone 4 devices and also the series of rumors spread on blogs might have limited buying to a certain extent. Also another important reason is the iPhone 4 has not yet shipped to other countries yet. Also about 20 major handsets has shipping Android OS this season which is a major cutting edge for Android in Quarter 2 2010. All I can say is better days for iPhone are coming in Q3 and Q4 when the iPhone 4 spreads like an epidemic and more and more fantastic iOS 4 compatible apps hits the market.

Tawkon app shows increased Radiation levels during Death Grip

August 10th, 2010

Everyone right now might be dissing the iPhone and all those big SmartPhone companies because of the loss in reception due to the death grip. But not many except the experts at Tawkon have looked at the issue from the radiation point of view. Tawkon developers of world’s first Cellphone radiation measurement application has noted that the cellphone radiations have increased in large way when the SmartPhone was held a bit tightly.

Tawkon released a video in their blog demonstrating how radiation levels push hard when the grip of death comes in to play. The video shows how all the major smartphones increase their radiation levels when the phone is subjected to pressure.

Cellular radiation app developer Tawkon starts tell Apple petition

July 27th, 2010

Few weeks ago we covered a very important news on Tawkon the world’s only application which notifies a user about cellular radiation. The news mentioned Apple’s invitation to Tawkon developers to Cupertino which was made shortly after the developers created a similar application for Blackberry. But Apple has once again shunned the iPhone application for a reason not revealed yet.

Apple’s behavior towards the cellular radiation application has irked resentment in many iPhone users who seriously wish to know the radiation levels they are subjected to when they use the phone. I always believe people deserve the right not to have radiation statistics hidden from them. Not only did the iPhone developer create an application which shares SAR levels but also an app which shows real-time gauge to see when they’re exposed to higher and lower levels of radiation. The Tawkon application minimizes radiation exposure of a cellphone at any given time.

I feel Apple’s response to the developers plea for appstore approval is a very damaging in users interest and eventually will cause people doubting Apple’s transparency letting know its radiation levels.

If you want to help Tawkon out in making it get download able to Apple users then you can sign this email and send it to Apple within a single click.
