It should be noted that the Chinese suppliers of star N9589 smartphones are primarily serving the China and Asia-Pacific marketplace.  These smartphones, unlike those from Apple, HTC, and RIM, are low-cost low-end handsets that typically sell for less than $200.  In some cases, smartphones sold by the Chinese companies have been known to sell for as little as $50.  With much of the growth in the smartphone market currently taking place in developing countries such as China and India, these low-end systems are expected to be a driving force in the cellphone market over the next few years.In 2013, low-end smartphones are expected to represent just under one-third (310 million) of the total 975 million smartphones shipped.  By 2017, it is forecast that low-end smartphone shipments will represent 46% of the total smartphone market.  It is also expected that China and the Asia-Pacific region will remain the primary markets for these low-end smartphones.

In courts, government tribunals and regulatory agencies around the world, Apple Inc has argued that Samsung's Android-based phones copy vital iPhone features. Samsung Electronics Co. is fighting back with its own complaints that some key Apple patents are invalid and Apple has also copied Samsung's technology.The two have each won and lost legal skirmishes over the last couple of years, and the companies appear oceans apart in settling their differences. Analysts predict continued litigation for months to come.On Tuesday, the latest chapter opens in a federal courtroom in San Jose, California, where lawyers from the two companies and U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh will begin picking a jury to calculate how much South Korea-based Samsung owes Apple for infringing Apple's patents on 13 older Samsung smartphones and computer tablets.

Representatives of both companies declined to comment.With Apple's Cupertino headquarters about a 10-minute drive from the courthouse, potential jurors will be asked if any family members work for Apple and whether the company's proximity will have any effect on their views of the case.A different jury in August found that Samsung infringed six Apple patents to create and market 26 smartphones and computer tablets. The panel ordered Samsung to pay Apple $1.05 billion.Koh then tossed out $450 million of that amount after deciding the jury wrongly calculated damages for 14 products. Amid an avalanche of legal filings afterward, Koh reduced the damages at issue to $400 million and the products to 13, then ordered a new jury to recalculate damages for those products.Some four dozen people are listed on the trial's witness list, many of them experts hired by Apple and Samsung to deliver damage estimates, which range from zero to more than the original $400 million.

Microsoft finally made the tough decision to fork over $8 Billion to buy Nokia’s phone business. It is the culmination of what most of the industry expected to happen when the two companies first started to collaborate on the smartphone portfolio in 2011. It gives Microsoft a unified ecosystem to start to seriously compete with Apple and Google in the smartphone market but raises questions over their other partnerships with phone makers such as HTC, Samsung and Huawei.These late adopters will be risk averse and tend to trust the brands they already know. With feature phone  users making up more than 50 percent of all mobile phone users globally (according to Kantar), this could be the lightning bolt required to jolt Microsoft into equal footing with Apple and Google in the race for smartphone domination.

If I had my way, the sign you see here at Simpson’s Gap, 15 minutes from Alice Springs, would say ‘smart phone photography forbidden’.Don’t get me wrong, I still think your smart phone can be important anywhere (that is what I am in Alice Springs to talk about Tuesday night, October 8, 2013 at my October Business Month keynote).What caused this grandiose position of mine was my disappointment at being in such a profoundly beautiful place and having ONLY my smart phone with me; my SLR camera was left at home.Put down your mtk6589t phone smart phone and stop obsessing over the latest diet app, because research has found that they just don't work.
