Samsung has stolen the crown from Nokia to become the world’s biggest handset maker, bringing the Finnish manufacturer’s 14-year reign to an end.
Samsung will account for 29 per cent of international smartphone shipments for 2012, according to IHS iSuppli. The number represents a five per cent on its market share in 2011.
Meanwhile, Nokia’s share for 2012 is estimated to be at 24 per cent, placing it behind Samsung in second place, having fallen from 30 per cent last year.
One of the key factors behind Samsung’s growth is the widespread adoption of smartphones and the decline of feature phones. IHS’ Wayne Lam said: “Smartphones represent the fastest-growing segment of the cellphone market—and will account for nearly half of all wireless handset shipments for all of 2012. Samsung’s successes and Nokia’s struggles in the cellphone market this year were determined entirely by the two companies’ divergent fortunes in the smartphone sector.”
IHS Suppli’s latest report also shows that Samsung is leading the race in the smartphone arena with 28 per cent of the market, with Nokia dropping significantly from 16 per cent to just five per cent.

Patent may be hit following review request from Samsung.
The US Patent and Trademark Office may be about to invalidate Apple’s ‘pinch-to-zoom’ patent, following a patent review at Samsung’s request.
Earlier this year, the patent played a crucial part in Apple's US$1.05 billion damages award against Samsung.
However, yesterday (Wednesday, December 19th) saw the US Ptent Office send its initial findings to Apple, which are reported to state that there was prior art for the ‘pinch-to-zoom’ feature on other products. This could ultimately lead to Apple’s patent not only being invalidated, but may also render the firm liable for patent royalties to the earlier developers in question.
In light of these new developments, Samsung has filed papers in order to pursue a retrial. However, the process of appeals and investigation is likely to take at least two years, due to the preliminary status of the Patent Office’s declaration.
This is the second time in the past three months that the Patent Office has reviewed one of Apple’s patents, after it came to light in October that the same action had been taken against its ‘rubber band’ user interface.

Robert Peckham predicts the New Year will bring some major management changes at Apple...
When Steve Jobs sadly passed away last year, many industry commentators – including me – wondered how long it would be before the cracks started to show without someone like Jobs at the helm.
Well it’s taken over a year, but the cracks are now starting to appear.
Firstly, Apple very publicly sacked John Browett, the ex-Dixons CEO who only joined Apple six months ago as head of their global retail operations. Apparently he failed to grasp that Apple didn’t employ him to streamline and cut costs on their retail operations, and he wasn’t focused on improving the customer experience enough. Apple doesn’t like negative publicity, and with Browett they received lots of it.
But more significantly, the man who many believed would have been Steve Jobs’ own choice as his successor, Scott Forstall, is leaving the company. Unquestionably viewed as Steve's apprentice, Scott Forstall was hired straight from university by Jobs to work at NeXT, he then moved with him to Apple to head up various software projects.
Forstall is rumoured to be leaving because of the iOS maps software issue (another source of significant negative publicity for Apple) but in reality too many people in the executive team didn’t like his overbearing management style, which was very Steve Jobs-like, and some even refused to work with him. Apple’s share price took a significant dive at the news of his departure.
Tim Cook is certainly not the man to head Apple in the long-term, and everyone who is watching Apple agrees with this. After Scott Forstall’s departure, the name to watch is now Bob Mansfield, who actually retired from Apple earlier this year, but returned to head up Apple’s Technologies division after the news that Scott Forstall was leaving.
Bob oversees all the new technologies that drive Apple products forward, including all the real engineering innovations that Jonny Ive’s design team insist on.
As I write this, Apple’s share price is dropping significantly, and I reckon the New Year will see some major management changes announced at the company.

Apple is reportedly looking to fast-track production of a new version of the iPad Mini.
According to Digital Trends, a research note from RBC Capital Markets analyst, Doug Freedman has been circulated that states: “iPad Mini Gen-2: Apple’s gen-2 iPad Mini is getting pulled-in, and is likely to have several new suppliers, the TXN gaining content.”
Freedman is currently visiting a number of chip manufacturers in China and the TXN mentioned in the memo is Texas Instruments, which has supplied Apple with components in the past.
Although a new iPad Mini has been expected since the firsrt model shipped without a retina display, the fast turn-around is unlikely to please Apple’s loyal customer-base. Many Apple users were displeased by the release of the original Mini so soon after the launch of the iPad 4.

Ouya's game lineup is growing in leaps and bounds in the run up to next March's consumer launch of the Kickstarter-funded Android-powered game console, and developers are just about to start receiving pre-launch dev units. 10 lucky new developers just got added to the list of those receiving dev units, and even better: all 10 are getting the unit for free (an $800 value), after having been chosen by the company across 10 days of giveaways on Twitter. Another Kickstarter success story, Fist of Awesome, was the first game picked, and the contest closed out this morning with Starbound winning the final giveaway. Developers should receive their consoles in the coming weeks alongside dev console pre-orders -- the main, $99 console arrives in March 2013, and should you be able to wait, every one of them will also serve as development kits. The full list of new titles is just below -- and yes, one of the gamesdoes feature uppercutting bears as a main mechanic. Stop worrying.

As Android takes a firm hold in the shifting smartphone market, the Intel Developer Blog looks at the ways to keep those devices secure.
According to a recent IDC report, Google held a 52.5 per cent share of smartphone subscribers in the US in the third quarter. The same report shows that, in the third quarter, Android sales represented a staggering 75 per cent of the smartphone market. Those are some outstanding growth statistics.
With such momentum, a lot of people are switching to their first Android device now. Entire groups of people, as well as individuals, have begun to make the switch. Apparently, the walls of Facebook HQ are decorated with ‘switch today’ posters, and the company is offering its employees Android smartphones for business use - quite a change of tune from its early days.
With estimates that Android will be running on 63.8 per cent of handsets worldwide by 2016, the step-up from its biggest competitors may not quite hit the spot in a market that seems to be embracing the industry shift. And, as more devices hit the market, I’ll bet this statistic is only going to become more likely.
I’ll admit it; I’m an Android fan. But as people switch to a new operating system, they face new security risks they might not be aware of. Developers should share the responsibility to educate people about these risks, so that they can use the platform, and the apps for it, with confidence.
A few simple tips can go a long way. One easy way to reduce the risk of infecting your device is to only download apps from trustworthy distributors, so developers should encourage customers to download their apps through mainstream channels, rather than their relatively unknown company websites.
Developers should also take care with the permissions they request. Alarm bells will be ringing if users notice their new torch app needs access to all of their contacts, and developers should encourage users to be cautious if they want to build trust in the platform. Users should be in control of what data is used, and how it is used, and building granular privacy controls into your apps will help to win trust.
Reviews will be important for determining which apps are trustworthy, so developers should encourage users to leave reviews. The reviews don’t have to talk about security, but their very existence will demonstrate that the app is proven by other users and nobody has reported adverse effects. People won’t want to be the first to try an unknown app.
When building an app yourself, make sure you’re taking every opportunity to make it as inaccessible to malware attacks as possible. After all, the aforementioned protective pointers won’t make a difference to consumers if we, as developers, are not taking the necessary steps to ensure full security from the word go.
While security is always important, we should keep it in perspective. The risk of malware on Android devices isn’t as high as the risk your desktop computer faces. And while the apps in the Google Play store don’t need official approval before they can be downloaded, the Android community actively keeps an eye on the store in an effort to remove apps that may be harmful to your device.
As Android wins ever more market share, it might come under stronger attack from malware developers, but developers can help to protect their users, and their own revenue base, by educating the market now.
Which security tips work for you? Leave me a comment below, or discuss with others on Intel’s Android developer community forum.

Two-thirds of mobile phones sold in the region are powered by Google's OS.
New research from Informa Telecoms & Media says that the reach of Android continues to surge, particularly in China, which accounts for a third of all Google OS-powered devices sold in 2012.
In fact, the little green robot has such a stronghold in the region that two-thirds of mobile phones sold in the country run on Android, making it the largest market in the world. The region is also noted as the fastest-growing smartphone market, experiencing an 85 per cent year-on-year growth rate.
The US bagged an 11 per cent share of global sales, which makes the country the second-largest Android market, while at least half of all mobile phones sold in the country throughout 2013 will use the platform. The firm also notes that the share could grow even further if Apple doesn't improve its devices and 'ageing iOS', with iPhone sales slipping from 35.5m in 2012 to 34m in 2013.
Comparatively, Apple's iPhone only accounts for five per cent of sales in China, though two million units of iPhone 5 were sold during its debut weekend.
Malik Saadi, principal analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media, said: "Despite the economic downturn, the global smartphone market is enjoying healthy growth and consumers are actually spending more to acquire more technologically-advanced devices.
"It is estimated that around 786 million smartphone devices were sold in 2012 (including the devices powered by non-certified variants of Android that are proliferating in China), which is 45% more than the total number of smartphones sold in 2011.
"Looking forward, Android is expected to continue gaining market share globally and, by 2015, one in every two handsets sold worldwide will be powered by it. However, according to Informa Telecoms & Media, the market share of this platform could potentially peak – or even decline – after 2016 owing to a more aggressive penetration of the alternative OSs, most notably Windows Phone."

Apple has today released iOS 6.0.2, a minor update aimed at fixing Wi-Fi issues on both the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini, as well as a number of other minor bugs.
While the update is aimed at remedying a few minor bugs, the over-the-air download is currently proving to be difficult task for some users. Reports have recently surfaced on Twitter, along with several other places on the web, from users claiming that they are having problems connecting to Apple’s update servers over the air from iOS devices.
iPhone 4S, fourth generation iPad, iPad Mini and iPhone 5 users have said that the update can’t be found on a range of devices.
However, the more ‘old skool’ among you, may wish to install the update by plugging your mobile into your computer and downloading it via iTunes; a method that has currently yielded no problems.

It doesn't look to bring with it any major changes, but Apple has just released its latest iOS update, which takes things up to version 6.0.2. According to the company, this one primarily addresses a bug that "could impact WiFi." An issue that, incidentally, has been at the center of a number of previousiOS updates. You should be able to find the update now or in the near future in either iTunes or Software Update on your iOS device.
Update: As MacStories notes, this particular update appears to only be for the iPhone 5 and iPad mini.

End users are spending an increasing amount of time on mobile devices, which naturally brings up a number of security concerns. Like on desktops, one of these concerns is the risk of running malware and exploits. But ironically, some of the most promising developments for protecting these devices come from the tension between jailbreakers and OS developers.
Android is a more open mobile OS that allows users malware problem on Android, even the vetting that is done isn’t enough. This potential for profit drain has brought about technology changes that have made it harder to write exploits and mobile malware.
Google relies on third parties’ app markets to vet code and the company has provided an app scanner for Android to determine if files are malicious. It has also prevented rooted devices from accessing popular and developers a lot of choices for customisation. But it’s not 100 per cent open, and many phone carriers lock devices further. iOS is a walled garden, with Apple acting as the guardian of what a user can do to their device. Many users dislike these restrictions, and some groups work to find exploits that allow people to ‘root’ or ‘jailbreak’ their machines to bypass them.
SECURITY ISSUES
The ability to install homebrewed apps costs networks and software vendors money, making them understandably opposed to jailbreaking. There are also security issues with running poorly vetted code. Judging by the rapidly growing services and functionality. Apple is already more stringent about approving apps, but it has also locked down its OS architecture to make running exploits more difficult.
These changes make devices less susceptible to running exploits, which in turn prevents jailbreaking but also helps prevent malware as a side effect. Regulated systems not only protect the user, they are also in place to protect resellers and vendors as well. When code becomes more trustworthy and transparent, devices become less susceptible to the outside intruders. The channel is right to be apprehensive about jailbreaking, especially if the support falls to them, but in the end, this tension is actually helping to make mobile OSs more secure.

The folks at Mobile-review have been dropping hints that they have an unannounced Sony handset in their possession, and now they've released a gabble of specs and images to prove it. Sony's "Yuga C6603" bears all the potential hallmarks of a flagship, sporting a 5-inch screen running at full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080), although some of that real estate is occupied by on-screen buttons. The display is loaded with an impressive 440 ppi, just like HTC's Droid DNA, and Sony's Mobile Bravia Engine has been employed for color reproduction. Under that screen we find a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU with Adreno 320 graphics, and 2 gigs of RAM for Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to take advantage of. In terms of connectivity, it's got USB host and micro-HDMI ports, Bluetooth 4.0, standard WiFi, NFC and a Qualcomm modem of the LTE variety. A 12-megapixel shooter can be found on the back (perhaps using the same HDR sensor as the Oppo Find 5), a microSD slot supporting up to 128GB cards on the side, and a non-removable battery of unknown capacity hiding within. That's pretty much it for now -- but judging by how final this hardware looks, there's a chance we might see more of it atCES.

Samsung has stated that it will withdraw from its patent battles with Apple that cover infringement issues in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Halting its injunction requests was apparently "in the interest of protecting consumer choice " and comes soon after a recent update to the Apple-Samsung court battle in the US where the judge ruled that it wouldn't be banning the sale of over 20 Samsung devices. The company added: "We strongly believe it is better when companies compete fairly in the marketplace, rather than in court."
Update: Just in case you thought this saga would eventually die and be forgotten, Foss Patents has taken a slightly less optimistic perspective. He points out that although Samsung says it's dropping all its European injunction requests, such that it won't seek to ban the sale of Apple products, the company doesn't say that it'll stop pushing for financial compensation through the courts. Meanwhile, Bloomberg has updated its own article to reflect this.

A new Ofcom report reveals that the UK has taken over Japan as the world leader in mobile use.
Consumers are downloading more data on their mobiles and tablets than any other major nation, with 16 per cent of all website traffic in the UK coming from mobile devices.
Internet shopping is also more popular in the UK than any other country, reports Ofcom. UK consumers have now broken the £1,000-a-year spend barrier on internet shopping.

The latest gadget always makes its way to retailers’ top ten Christmas lists – and this year tablets and e-readers are fighting it out for the top position.
The launch of Windows 8 in October brought with it a host of new tablets and laptops. This, coupled with the first 7-inch tablet from Apple, and Samsung’s much sought-after Android tablets, makes for an overwhelming number of devices for consumers to choose between.
“Tablet sales go from strength to strength and we predict that they will be a must-have gadget for Christmas,” commented Johnathan Marsh, head of buying for electricals and home technology, John Lewis. “There is a plethora of models now available that offer different operating systems, price points and screen sizes, including the new 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and 7.9-inch iPad mini that are highly portable.”
E-readers should do well too. Currys and PC World include Amazon’s Kindle e-reader, along with the new Kindle Fire, in its list of top ten tech gifts.
Argos, on the other hand, has dubbed Kindle rival the Nook Glow the number one gift for Christmas, while John Lewis believes the Nook Simple Touch will be the e-reader of choice for its customers.
But it’s not all just gadgets for grown- ups. Mobile devices have also made their way onto children’s wish lists.
The LeapPad2 and VTech’s Innotab both feature in Hamleys, Argos and The Entertainer’s top ten kids’ toys for Christmas.
Logically, tablet accessories should make good add-on sales this season.

Apple's device breaks three-day record in burgeoning market
Apple's iPhone 5 sold a record 2 million units in its first 3 days on sale in China.
The figure is a clear demonstration of the growing importance of the Chinese market to consumer electronics companies: the iPhone 5 sold 5 million units in 3 days when it launched in 9 countries and territories in September, yet the device sold almost half of that number in China alone.
"Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible," said Apple CEO Tim Cook in a statement. “China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products.”
In addition to China, Apple is rolling out the iPhone 5 to a further 50 countries this month, including rapidly growing markets like Brazil and Russia.

A new report from DisplaySearch indicates that Apple is aiming to reach total iPad shipments of 100 million by next year.
Apple’s new iPad was initially intended to replace the iPad 2, but on-going strong sales have led to panel manufacturers downscaling new iPad panel production while maintaining production of iPad 2 panels. The report suggests Samsung, LG Display, Sharp and Innolux will ship 23 million iPad 2 XGA panels, and 47 million new iPad QXGA panels.
“Panels for iPads are known to be hard to make, not only because of the high resolution and low power consumption requirements, but also because the wide viewing angle and high colour saturation specifications require additional photomask steps in the manufacturing process,” said DisplaySearch’s David Hsieh on the company’s blog.
“In 2013, it is likely that Apple will adjust its product portfolio to meet the strong demand for the iPad mini. We believe that Apple is targeting total iPad shipments of 100 million in 2013, half accounted for by the iPad mini, and 40 million new iPad and 10 million iPad 2, as production continues at least until the middle of 2013.”
Apple came in for criticism earlier this year following the launch of the iPad mini, as many deemed its $329 price as too expensive for a 7-inch tablet PC.
However, despite such criticisms, the iPad Mini was recently voted one of the hottest consumer products of 2012 in Japan, while Apple is asking panel makers to ship over 12 million in Q4 2012 to meet such high demand.
