Nokia, the clear leader among mobile phone manufacturers, has seen its mobile marketshare reaching upwards of 40% of the global mobile phone market in Q2 2008. At that time, the Finnish cellphone giant announced that it expected its Q3 2008 market share to stay the same. Unfortunately, for Nokia and their shareholders, the company has announced today that they expect their market share to drop in Q3.
Nokia blames a weak global economy for the revision to their third-quarter outlook. The news sent Nokia shares tumbling 11% (as of 1443 GMT), leaving the world’s largest cellphone manufacturer trading at a three-year low.
On the upside, Nokia says that it expects to see its full-year 2008 market share increasing ever so slightly. At the end of the day, it’s all about how a company fairs in the long-term. Quarterly financial wobbles can be indicators of underlying corporate problems, but in Nokia’s case, we’ll see the Finns pull through.

Copy and paste on the iPhone!From: feeds.feedburner.com

Cut and paste is quite possibly the singularly most requested feature on the iPhone. Sure, the iPhone can recognize an phone number in any webpage/text message/email. And calling the number is a simple matter of tapping the phone number and initiating the call. But, what if you want to copy and paste a URL or block of text? Well, for that you need some good ole' cut-n-paste action.
I love to blog from my iPhone. The keyboard and predictive/corrective text feature allows me to type way f...
more What’s wrong with the iPhone SDK… and how to get it fixedFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

The iPhone SDK is great. I've talked it up enough in the past few days that it should be quite apparent that I think the iPhone SDK will bring a new wave of development for the iPhone's Mac OS.
Still, the glaring problem with the iPhone SDK is that the development platform is limiting iPhone coders from taking full advantage of the iPhone's hardware. It's like putting 1000 horsepower into a sports car but only giving access to 600 of those ponies. Sure, Bugatti limits the ...
more RIM wants to secure BlackBerry camera with a lock and keyFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

Research In Motion is all about getting its BlackBerry smartphones distributed for fleet-use in enterprise environments. Unfortunately, that means that corporate users will have to opt for the camera-less BlackBerry 8800 series. It would be a bad day to have corporate secrets walk out the door inside some cameraphone's flash memory.
On the one hand, nixing the camera is a good security measure. On the other hand, corporate users won't have a camera to play with when outside the offi...
more Germany demands Nokia return $92 million in subsidies by month’s endFrom: feeds.feedburner.com
Post Date: 2008-03-11 12:25:28
It's clear that Nokia's closing of their German plant has incensed the Germans to no end. Like a crazy girlfriend scorned , the state-owned NRW.Bank has sent Nokia a demand for the return of subsidies provided to open the Bochum plant. Here's the kicker, NRW.Bank wants the subsidies refunded with interest. Germany already demanded the return of subsidies , but there was no mention of interest. The juice has apparently been running since 1998, and with loan amounts in the ten...
