Android Increases Smartphone Market Share
Android phones came on strong in the third quarter of 2014, accounting for 83.1 percent of the more than 30 million phones sold worldwide. Apple accounted for 12.7% of the worldwide market, while Windows Phones were down year-to-year to 3% and Blackberry sales fell by more than half to account for less than 1% of the phones out there.
The major growth came in inexpensive Android phones. Samsung was the top manufacturer with 25% with Apple at almost 13% fueled by sales of the iPhone 6.
Is WhatsApp coming to PC?
WhatsApp, the popular smartphone and tablet app that lets users message each other all over the world for free, may be coming to your PC. Facebook paid an astounding $19 billion dollars for the app back in February and there’s been a lot of speculation about what they planned to do with it.
Now reports say you can expect the app to become a truly cross-platform system that would allow you to take messages on your phone, tablet or PC.
