Apple's fondleslab market share falls below 30 per cent for first time

IDC says iPad shipments stalled in Q3 as Samsung and Lenovo surged 5 ways to prepare your advertising infrastructure for disaster

Apple's fondleslab market share falls below 30 per cent for first time IDC says iPad shipments stalled in Q3 as Samsung and Lenovo surged Pundits partial to peak Apple prognostications have new data to fuel their ideas: IDC's newest report on global fondleslab sales has Apple's market share slipping markedly.


The analyst does offer one big caveat for its numbers: Q3 is a bad time for iPad sales because Apple now releases new models in Q4 and buyers keep their wallets shut until then. In Q4, 'IDC expects Apple to enjoy robust shipment growth'.


Even with that seasonal factor, the numbers don't look great for Apple because its sales in Q3 2013 are just 100,000 iPads higher than the were in Q2 2013, and that's with the new and cheaper iPad mini in the market. Also unwelcome is momentum for arch-rival Samsung, which managed to more than double its shipments from 4.3m to 9.7m. Lenovo also did well, pushing 2.3m 'slabs out the door, up from 0.4m a year back.


Top Five Tablet Vendors, Shipments, and Market Share, Third Quarter 2013 (Shipments in millions)

IDC also notes that shipments of 'white box' tablets are growing, especially at the low-price end of the market.


Tom Mainelli, the firm's research director for tablets thinks that's not good news.


'These low cost Android-based products make tablets available to a wider market of consumers, which is good,' he writes. 'However, many use cheap parts and non Google-approved versions of Android that can result in an unsatisfactory customer experience, limited usage, and very little engagement with the ecosystem. Android's growth in tablets has been stunning to watch, but shipments alone won't guarantee long-term success. For that you need a sustainable hardware business model, a healthy ecosystem for developers, and happy end users.' ®

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
