WOW! big news! this was heard today during the 2010 International Mobile Internet Conference in Beijing, where Nokia gave a presentation re: exciting upgrades to Symbian, many planned to come in the first quarter of 2011, including improvements to the browser’s user interface. This is pretty exciting for Symbian fans everywhere hoping the combination of Nokia’s great touchscreen plus an updated UI could be something unparalleled. the HTML5 support is thoughtful too, as it could bring a generation of older mobile web-accessible but not quite ‘smart’ phones up to speed with a new software over the air update to roll out.

The numbers here reveal a shakeout that is continuing. iPhone as leader in “desirability” — whatever that means— enduring brand equity and shiny objects I guess; Android as a “practical” choice for people that are either spendy or want great user interface, a booming unwalled app store, and seamless google integration— and Blackberry as the sort of Luddite 2.0 safe zone.
Yesterday, Financial Times did an in depth case study on RIM and how blackberry is feeling the heat right now and aside from a few good factoids, it mostly seems out of touch:
Rim’s multi-pronged approach should help it prevent further declines in market share and consolidate its position.
In recent years, avid BlackBerry users were tempted by the iPhone. Now, the BlackBerry line has all the multimedia functionality of the competitors, along with its core strength of security.
i went ahead and bolded the line in there that is mostly untrue. Blackberry lacks an app store that inspires innovation and an inspiring user interface. period. but it’s reliable and sturdy, has great battery life and is still comfortably yuppie 90s in a quietly retro yet functional quadrant that seems something of a sweet spot to corporate life.

HAVE NO DOUBTS ABOUT IT. THE FIRST IMAGE IS PRECISELY THE SAME AS THE SECOND. THIS IS ANDROID GODZILLA’ING THE MARKETPLACE. RIGHTFULLY & GLORIOUSLY, I MIGHT ADD.
& here imagine if you will an epic anthropomorphizing scene of the marketplace as the android honorably and gloriously stomps around as the crappy iphone 4s are unable to phone 911 for help as they lack reception. the blackberries gaze up to the godzilladroid and the storms begin to rain & lightening. the curves roll around and whitescreen lock up in panic. sad lil ancient LG flip phones clickedy clacking “HELP HELP!” all the media-heavy, otherwise-useless Samsungs start playing “STOP, in the name of love” as an attempt at ringtone defense. but no one can stop androidzilla! because it’s smarter, faster, multitaskier, cuter, opener, and just BETTER.
