The smartphone space is growing at phenomenal speeds, with all manufacturers rivalling in the hope of becoming one of the big three market vendors.
Now, new research from analyst iGR expects smartphones to account for 96 per cent of mobile phone sales in American by the close of 2016, which is up from 76 per cent in 2011 and just 33 per cent in 2009.
The report claims the swift rise of US smartphone adoption is down to feature phone users converting during upgrades and replacements, mass enterprise use, and tech improvements such as 4G and NFC enticing data-hungry consumers.
Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR, says: "The growth in the US smartphone market has been very strong in the last few years. But as the market becomes saturated, smartphone sales growth will slow.
"For OEMs who are hoping to gain, or regain, market share in the US, the time to act is now. By 2014, we believe the majority of the smartphone sales growth will be over."

Samsung is a distant second choice with just eight per cent.
An increasing number of employees within the corporate sector are being plied with tablets to complete their work on, adding to the daily use of smartphones, laptops and desktops.
This is supported by a new ChangeWave Research survey, which says more than one-fifth of firms will buy tablets for their staff members.
Results show 84 per cent of businesses now plan on buying iPads in Q2, following the release of the new iPad, which is a seven per cent rise on the November 2011 survey.
Additionally, Samsung was a distant second choice with eight per cent, falling by two per cent, in fact, all rival tablets suffered a decline in interest as a result of the iPad's introduction.
Yesterday, we reported that Nokia may reveal a new Windows 8 tablet at the end of 2012, and while it will join a crowded market, its office functions may prove to be a high commodity with the enterprise crowd.

Super High Aperture. Heard of it? Probably not, but thanks to Apple, you'll probably long for days when you didn't in just a few months. According to an in-depth look from the folks at DisplaySearch, the aforesaid technique is the primary reason that Apple was able to shove 2,048 x 1,536 pixels into the 9.7-inch panel on the new iPad. Not surprisingly, it wasn't Apple that conjured up the magic; instead, it was crafted by engineers at Sharp and JSR (a display materials maker from Japan), but it'll be the iPad that makes an otherwise geeky achievement something that the mainstream covets. According to the science behind it, SHA is "a method of increasing aperture ratio by applying approximately a 3 [micrometer] thick photo-definable acrylic resin layer to planarize the device and increase the vertical gap between the [indium tin oxide] pixel electrodes and signal lines." Reportedly, there are also "at least twice as many" LEDs in the panel compared to that on the iPad 2, further suggesting that there's way more battery within the new guy than the last. Technophiles need only dig into the links below to find plenty more where this came from.

Traditional publishers have entered the mobile market, but can't beat the new wave
The early days of smartphone gaming were dominated by the many new developers that sprang up to take advantage of the wide open markets. Once the markets began to mature, publishers of traditional console and PC games began to put games on smartphones. Some predicted that established publishers with big budgets, experienced developers, and huge brand names would quickly dominate the mobile markets.
But a new analysis by mobile analytics firm Flurry completely demolishes that prediction, showing that established publishers only control about one third of the games being played on mobile platforms.
Flurry examined user sessions in January and February of 2012 to give the most current picture of game usage in the combined Android and iOS markets. It tracked more than 64 billion application sessions over more than 500 million active Android and iOS devices (note that while Android recently claimed more than 300 million devices activated, and last week Apple said that 315 million iOS devices have been sold, not all of those devices are still active.).
Games accounted for more than half of all the sessions tracked, as can be seen on the chart. Flurry also noted that the number of game sessions has been expanding rapidly over the last three years, with over 20 times the number of sessions in Q1 2012 as were played in Q1 2010.

Apple's newly released iPad 3 is available with a LTE 4G option but the radio frequencies supported are incompatible with those expected to be offered in the European market.
The European WiFi/4G iPad 3 is essentially the same as the US AT&T version which means that it supports 4G LTE on the 700MHz and 2100MHz bands versus the 800, 1800 and 2600MHz bands planned in European territories.
That said, given that LTE hasn't yet launched in several countries including the UK, the 4G iPad 3 still supports the older 3G standards including the nippy HSPA+ standard on virtually every band where those technologies are used 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz.
Meanwhile in the US, Apple's iOS 5.1 update has apparently fallen into line with the marketing departments of the local mobile carriers and has switched out the 3G icon for a 4G icon when connected to AT&T's HSPA+ network.
In fact LTE being called 4G itself is already a corruption of the original ITU standards body's definition of 4G but now it seems changing a digit is easier than rolling out a new fancy network so they've taken to calling HSPA+ 4G in the US as well. Those crazy Americans.
So far that hasn't quite caught on in the UK, most likely because European press traditionally has somewhat sharper teeth and wouldn't let operators get away with it.
British operator Three already moved to clarify some misleading reports about a 4G network arriving this year, pointing out it was '3.5G' HSPA+.
The bottom line is that if you want mobile connectivity on your 'new iPad' then the 4G version will go as fast as any British mobile network (42Mbps) until the arrival of actual 4G LTE - and it'll nicely show you a 4G icon anyway, and that's all that matters right?

Demand for next-gen tablet has been "off the charts."
Apple revealed its new iPad on March 7th, demonstrating its new features, which include: quad-core processors, LTE connectivity, retina display and native apps.
It seems the new tech has appealed to the masses of loyal fans, as the firm claims it is already struggling to keep up with demand ahead of the March 16th release date, according to USA Today.
The Apple statement, says: "Customer response to the new iPad has been off the charts and the quantity available for pre-order has been purchased. Customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date."
There are six different models available, but anyone hoping to purchase one online will be looking at a dispatch time of two-three weeks, meaning it will probably be April by the time the tablet arrives.
Additionally, there is a limit of two orders per customer, most likely to prevent people from bulk buying and reselling the devices for over the top prices on eBay and Amazon.

Firm will bide its time to see if demand for the OS develops.
Sony is looking to bounce back from severing ties with Ericsson, with hope that its new Xperia range of Android devices will set the smartphone world alight.
However, the firm isn't putting all of its eggs in the Android basket, as Sony would consider adopting the Windows Phone OS, according to PhoneArena.
During a meeting with Sony's product marketing manager Stephen Sneeden at MWC, the exec revealed that the firm is open to moving to WinPho, though it will monitor the progress of the OS before converting.
That, of course, means monitoring Nokia's sales, as the firm is using WinPho on its premium Lumia devices and future low-end models.
Aside from Windows and Android, Sony may also be looking to design a PlayStation Vita OS for its mobiles too.

MAME4iOS Reloaded 1.0 WIP. Port of MAME 0.134u4 for iOS devices 
iMAME4all is a iOS universal app done by David Valdeita (Seleuco), port of MAME 0.37b5 emulator by Nicola Salmoria & TEAM for all jailbroken iOS devices (iPad HD, iPhone 4G , iPod touch and older) and it is based on GP2X, WIZ MAME4ALL 2.5 by Franxis.
MAME4droid is a version of iMAME4all (iPhone, iPad) for Android, developed also by David Valdeita (Seleuco).
They emulates arcade games supported by original MAME 0.37b5 plus some additional games from newer MAME versions.
This version emulates over 2000 different romsets.
Please, try to understand that that with that amount of games, some will run better than others and some might not even run with iMAME4all. Please, don´t email me asking for a specific game to run.
Although the performance is very good with modern devices (all games I tested on iPad run practically perfect), owners of older devices should not expect a good performance; please turn off sound because that's very helpful.
After installing, place your MAME-titled zipped roms in /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/iMAME4all/roms (iMAME4all) or /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/roms (MAME4droid) folder.
MAME4droid & iMAME4all uses only '0.37b5', 'GP2X, WIZ 0.37b11 mame romset'. Use "clrmame.dat" file included in '/var/mobile/Media/ROMs/iMAME4all' or /sdcard '/ROMs/MAME4all/' to convert romsets from other MAME versions to the ones used by this version, using ClrMAME Pro utility, available in next webpage:

[skullkey] over at the House4Hack hackerspace in Pretoria, South Africa wanted a way to get kids excited about technology and desktop fabrication labs. Wanting to give kids a visceral feel for the march of technology, he created Makerdroid, an android app that allows for the creation 3D objects on an Android tablet and preparing them to be printed on a Reprap or Makerbot.
What’s really interesting about this build is not only the fact that [skullkey] and his lovely beta testers are generating .STL files on an Android device, the object files are also being converted to GCode on the Android, without the need for a conventional computer. Makerdroid uses the very popular Skeinforge to generate the instructions for the printer (although a lot of people are switching over to Slic3r).
Makerdroid doesn’t need a PC to print objects out on a 3D printer, but we think the process of shuffling GCode files from a tablet to the printer with an SD card is a little archaic. It might be possible to print directly from an Android tablet over Bluetooth with the Android Bluetooth Reprap app that is currently in development. Still, we love the idea of printing objects we just created on a touch screen, as shown in the Makerdroid demo video after the break.

Did you wait too long to pull the trigger on a pre-order for Apple's newest iPad? Well, it looks like you'll have to join the rest of the US-based iStragglers and settle for a later ship date. The Cupertino-born slate, initially set for a March 16th release, now appears to have been pushed back to the 19th, forcing prospective online buyers to seek out any remaining stock at brick and mortar outlets on launch day. While this is by no means an indication that the company's sold out of its third-generation tablet wares, consider it a last call for the early adopter train.

Battleheart's creator Mika Mobile in an update explained that it was dropping Android support. Google's platform was losing money for the company, since it spent about 20 percent of its time supporting the platform but only ever made five percent or less of the company's revenue. Much of the effort was spent on issues specific to Android, where the diversity was only creating problems rather than helping. 'I would have preferred spending that time on more content for you, but instead I was thanklessly modifying shaders and texture formats to work on different GPUs, or pushing out patches to support new devices without crashing, or walking someone through how to fix an installation that wouldn't go through,' one half of the husband and wife duo said. 'We spent thousands on various test hardware. These are the unsung necessities of offering our apps on Android.'"

The US Justice Department has plans to bring legal action against Apple and the major book publishers, alleging that the companies colluded to raise prices of electronic books.
Simon & Schuster, Hatchette Book Group, Penguin, Macmillan, HarperCollins are apparently in the firing line for the antitrust action according to sources first quoted by the Wall Street Journal. At least some of the publishers have been in negotiations to settle before the DoJ gets heavy.
The core of the dispute is the introduction of the so-called "agency" model which shifted the setting of prices to publishers rather than retailers. The move coincided with the launch of the Apple iPad and continues to result in eBooks often costing more than their dead-tree equivalents.
Late last year European antitrust authorities also announced an investigation into the same companies for exactly the same reason.
The late Steve Jobs own biography appears to represent something of a smoking gun as far as price fixing collusion. In Walter Isaacson's biography, Jobs said that Apple was aware of publishers concern regarding the dominating influence of Amazon and their deep discounting.
Jobs said that the firm told book publishers: "We'll go to the agency model, where you set the price, and we get our 30 percent and yes, the customer pays a little more," either unaware or uncaring that such a price-raising strategy would be illegal under many antitrust laws worldwide.
He went on to acknowledge that the publishers then approached Amazon with the demand that the etail giant sign up to an agency contract or they would be unable to sell any electronic books.

Last year, Nokia left its Symbian OS behind and moved to Windows to power its future devices in order to fight its way back into the smartphone market and capture high end users.
However, while Nokia has decided to go premium, there are a rising number of Android devices on the market at affordable prices, which are becoming adopted by the low end users that Nokia regards as its bread and butter.
Speaking of the new threat in its annual report, Nokia, says: "We are addressing this with our planned introductions in 2012 of smarter, competitively priced feature phones with more modern user experiences."
Reuters cites sources that say Nokia is enhancing its Linux-based software with a new version codenamed Meltemi, replacing its Series 40 tech in advanced feature phones to enable them with smartphone-like functions.
WIth regard to its Windows strategy, Nokia, said: "We plan to introduce and bring to markets new and more affordable Nokia products with Windows Phone in 2012, such as the Nokia Lumia 610."

No more downloads for owners of Windows Mobile 6.x devices.
Microsoft announced the closedown of its app store in a series of emails that are being sent to customers of its Windows Mobile 6.x smartphones.
The closedown will take place on May 9th, at which time users will be unable to download anymore apps or games from the Marketplace.
However, existing apps and services that are already installed will continue to work, unless the device is wiped.
It's fair to say that Microsoft has neglected its 6.x OS, what with the last update being rolled out over two years ago in January 2010.
Since that time, the firm has concentrated on pushing its Windows Phone OS, which is currently on version 7.5 (Mango).
