Juniper Research estimates that almost 317 million smartphones were shipped in Q3 2014

Figures from Juniper Research show Samsung and Apple continuing to dominate the smartphone market, with newly-expanded Lenovo in third place.

It estimates that 316.6 million smartphones were shipped in the third quarter of 2014. That’s a 13.1% increase year-on-year.

Samsung was responsible for a 24.8% share of the smartphone market, shipping around 78.6 million smartphones. Apple shipped 39.3 million iPhones, giving it 12.4% of the smartphone market worldwide, while combined Lenovo/Motorola shipments are estimated to exceed 23 million devices (7.3%) in the quarter.

The report notes that Samsung’s figures were down on the same quarter in 2013, while Apple’s were up. It also highlights the expansion of Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi, which increased shipments by over 25% quarter-on-quarter to ship 19 million devices in Q3 2014.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
