Facebook plans to unveil smartphone; The company aims to dominate on mobile devices the way it has on desktop computers

April 4th, 2013

Los Angeles Times

 

Get ready for the Facebook phone.

The company is close to unveiling a smartphone whose software keeps the social network front and center. It is part of an overall strategy to advance Facebook’s ambitions to dominate on mobile devices the way it has on desktop computers. Facebook Inc. has scheduled a news conference Thursday at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters to show off an HTC smartphone that operates on software called Facebook Home. The social network’s News Feed, messaging, photo uploading and other features will be integrated into the phone, according to reports.

It will be the biggest step yet to re-engineer Facebook into a mobile company. Like Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. before it, Facebook is putting a device into people’s hands designed to tether them to the service.

Facebook is under heavy pressure to capture — and keep — the attention of users who are spending more time than ever on mobile devices so that it can cash in on mobile advertising. And that has forced the giant social network to attempt the most dramatic transformation in its history. It has deployed hundreds of engineers on coding mobile projects. It rolled out new mobile advertising formats and new mobile apps such as Poke, and overhauled its iPhone and Android apps. Facebook also stepped up its focus on Android, which in recent years has surpassed the iPhone to become the No. 1 operating system for smartphones around the world.

At the end of last year, the number of active daily users accessing Facebook on a mobile device exceeded the number logging on from desktop computers for the first time. More than 650 million of its more than 1 billion users check Facebook from mobile devices — and that number is growing fastest in big markets such as the U.S.

“Facebook’s goal is to get its stuff in front of as many people as possible,” IDC analyst Karsten Weide said. The HTC phone is powered by a modified version of Google’s Android mobile software. If successful, the HTC phone could be the first of many, analysts said. “This is a way to get the distribution that they would have gotten through their own smartphone by partnering with somebody else,” Weide said.

How Will Apple Sell 343 Million Devices in 2016?

February 11th, 2013

Motley Fool

Investors may be underestimating what the power of compounding can do for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) . If Apple can just sustain its current market share in the coming years, the power of compounding will drive unit volume growth for its iDevices through the roof. According to IDC, Apple is expected to grow its iPhone unit volume by 18.8% a year, roughly in line with the smartphone industry. At that pace, in three years’ time, Apple’s iPhone unit shipments will have increased by 68% since the end of 2012. On the tablet side, it’s expected that Apple will ship 20.9% more iPads per year until 2016, equating to a 77% increase from today’s levels. Are investors missing something so enormous it’s difficult to see? Or could it be that IDC’s estimates are completely off the mark and shouldn’t be trusted?

Samsung Tops In Brand Engagement, Loyalty

February 6th, 2013

MediaPost

Editor’s Note: This week, Marketing Daily brings you exclusive coverage of the Brand Keys 2013 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index (CLEI). Each day, expect a full report on key product/services categories from among the 54 surveyed for this year’s study, including automotive, electronics, retail and technology. This second installment covers electronics, telecommunications and entertainment. 

Move over, Apple — there’s a new brand dominating loyalty in the world of consumer electronics.

Samsung, which has scored well in previous years, is now the leader in most of the categories in which it competes (as measured by Brand Keys’ 2013 Consumer Loyalty Engagement Index). The Korean electronics giant comes out on top of the laptop computer (tied with Apple), flat-screen TV and smartphone categories, and was number two among home printers and tablets.

“This is a big turnaround,” Robert Passikoff, Brand Keys founder and president, tells Marketing Daily. “Samsung was always strong, but this is a bit of a switchover. It was a surprise. I guess it shouldn’t have been. I’ve been watching their advertising, and I thought it was really good.”

Spotlight — Mobility in Brazil

January 28th, 2013

IDG Connect 0811 300x141 Spotlight Mobility in Brazil

The popularisation of technology in Brazil has brought several changes to the way people relate to one another. iPads, iPhones, Galaxies; they are all easy to carry, easy to use and not as expensive as they once were. And it was inevitable these changes wouldn’t be able to stay out of the workplace.

With this proliferation of mobile devices comes a new area of study that tries to comprehend in what way these devices affect companies. Bring-Your-Own- Device (BYOD) is coming, but who is really ready for this? In many companies, the governance policy for outside technology using corporate internet is still stuck in the past, banning everything and putting their heads in the sand. While these businesses are carrying on trying to ignore the future, many others try to benefit from this new trend.

Although the Brazilian mobile device market is booming, mobility in the workplace has yet to be investigated. To rectify this, in June IDG Connect interviewed a select group of 33 IT and business professionals to gain an insight into Brazilian mobility within the office. The results, though small, help provide a greater understanding of business mobile use in Brazil.

Apple’s Magic Wears Thin as Its Earnings Disappoint

January 24th, 2013

Wall Street Journal

Apple Inc. AAPL -10.67% recorded a flat profit despite selling 18 million more iPhones and iPads, as it spent heavily to roll out new products to fend off intensifying competition. Spooked investors erased nearly $47 billion from the company’s stock-market value in after-hours trading, about as much as the combined worth of Dell Inc., DELL +0.23%Nokia Corp. NOK1V.HE -9.92% and Research In Motion Ltd. RIM.T -2.48%

The flat earnings in the holiday quarter come after several years of supercharged growth that made Apple the most valuable U.S. company and fan worries about the Silicon Valley giant’s momentum and demand for its new devices. Apple executives predicted growth would continue to slow. The company expects revenue to rise about 7% in the current period after reporting an 18% gain in the holiday quarter.

Apple said it sold 47.8 million iPhones, up from 37 million from the year-earlier period and below some analyst expectations. The fiscal first quarter began soon after the release of the iPhone 5 and Apple’s new mapping software, and encompassed the debut of the iPad Mini, a smaller tablet carrying an equally slimmer price tag. Apple said it sold 22.9 million iPads, up about 48% from last year and roughly in line with some analyst expectations.

For the quarter ended Dec. 29, Apple reported a profit of $13.08 billion, up from $13.06 billion a year earlier. On a per-share basis, earnings fell to $13.81 from $13.87 a share as the latest period had slightly more shares outstanding. Revenue rose to $54.5 billion from $46.3 billion.
