ExclusiveThe Amazon Android tablet and the Apple iPhone 5

Mark Bridge writes:

I’m not a big fan of reporting on rumours - I’d rather wait until the real thing happens - but I thought these two stories were too big and too well-defined to ignore completely.

Firstly, it looks as though Amazon will be announcing an Android-powered tablet tomorrow. Called the Kindle Fire, it probably won’t be a direct replacement for the Kindle e-book reader but an alternative. Most commentators suggest we should expect a 7-inch colour screen, a focus on cloud-based services and a pretty heavily customised version of Android.

ExclusiveLast week at The Fonecast: 26th September 2011

Mark Bridge writes:

Welcome to a summary of last week’s mobile industry news from TheFonecast.com.

The biggest mobile-flavoured story from the past seven days was probably HP’s replacement of its president and CEO. Léo Apotheker is out after less than a year, replaced by former eBay CEO Meg Whitman. It’s not likely to affect the company’s plans for webOS tablets and phones… but it’ll be interesting to see what Ms Whitman does next.

ExclusiveNot all mystery shopping is a complete mystery

Mark Bridge writes:

If you’ve worked in retail, you’re probably aware of the ‘mystery shopper’. This is someone who appears to be a regular consumer but is actually reviewing your performance. Perhaps they’re working for your employer, maybe they’re conducting an independent survey, they may even be reporting for a magazine or newspaper. But they’re about as welcome as a knock on the front door when you’re at home in the shower.

ExclusiveOnly 17 per cent of advertisers have a mobile-optimised site

Google UK head of mobile advertising, Simon Morgan, considers the most significant developments in the field of m-commerce and crunches the mobile numbers.

Over the past year we've seen smartphones overtake PC sales for the first time. The number of people on the mobile web globally has doubled, reaching one billion and in the UK there are now 20 million mobile internet users. If we think of search as being a barometer of consumer interest, in just 12 months there has been a huge shift.

As the world becomes increasingly connected and reliant on technology, smartphones have become an essential tool for many individuals. From communication to entertainment, these devices have transformed the way we live and interact with the world around us.

One area where AI technology has the potential to make a significant impact is in the realm of smartphone functionality. By incorporating advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities, AI can help to optimize a smartphone's performance, providing users with a faster, more efficient and user-friendly experience.

One example of this is in the area of battery life. By analyzing usage patterns and identifying common power-draining habits, AI can help to extend a smartphone's battery life, allowing users to stay connected for longer. AI can also help to optimize a smartphone's processing power, allocating resources more efficiently and reducing the likelihood of lag or slowdowns.

Another area where AI can benefit smartphone users is in the realm of personalization. By learning and adapting to a user's individual preferences and habits, AI can provide personalized recommendations and suggestions, helping users to discover new apps, music and other content that they might enjoy.

In addition, AI technology has the potential to improve smartphone security, using advanced algorithms and machine learning to identify and block potential threats. This can help to keep user data safe and protect against malicious attacks, providing peace of mind for smartphone users.

Overall, the incorporation of AI technology into smartphones has the potential to provide a range of benefits for users, enhancing performance, personalization and security. As the technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in this area, transforming the way we use our smartphones.
