While these stats exhibit a slow-growing and fragmented Android OS market, ZDNet reports that KitKat adoption has actually been faster than that of Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean still dominates with more than 58% of the market. This means the KitKat has finally eclipsed the 2011-released OS Ice Cream Sandwich and now ranks third behind Ginger Bread, which has a 14.9% share of all Android devices. Yesterday, that statistic was updated to 13.6%. Twitter wrote in a blog post that it has been working to better incorporate native ads into its mobile products, “in order to create a more seamless and less intrusive ad experience for users.” Namo, in its own blog post, says it will continue doing what it has been doing, but just under the MoPub name and platform.ĪNDROID KITKAT DOWNLOADS FINALLY SURPASS ICE CREAM SANDWICH: This week at Apple’s WWDC keynote, Tim Cook presented a graph showing that only 9% of Android users had installed the most recent OS KitKat. This acquisition comes after a string of recent moves by the social network to bolster its mobile ad product. The company will be added to Twitter’s recently-acquired MoPub platform. TWITTER ACQUIRES NAMO MEDIA TO BEEF UP MOBILE ADS: Namo Media, a company that specializes in native advertising on mobile, announced that it has been scooped up by Twitter. Legere, who stands to make as much as $41 million if the deal goes through, will have to make a very strong case to the Justice Department. Thus, the newly formed company would be comprised of two underdogs still fighting the legacy behemoth leaders.Įven with this supposed narrative, many analysts think it’s highly unlikely that regulators will give the go-ahead. Sprint and T-Mobile are banking on the fact that neither are current front runners in the wireless space, nor would they become one if they merged. In 2011, the Justice Department blocked an attempt from AT&T to buy the then-ailing T-Mobile, claiming it would severely hinder wireless competition. That would put it at third place, behind AT&T’s 102 million subscribers and Verizon’s 103 million subscribers, as you can see in the chart below. BI Intelligence tallied the numbers and found that together the two companies would have up to over 85 million subscribers. The proposed merger would make a combined T-Mobile-Sprint a worthy competitor indeed. T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere said that he has no plans of turning his company “into the son of something else,” according to a report from BI’s Steve Kovach. Instead, he sees a merger bolstering the company he helped turn around since taking the reins in late 2012. SPRINT-T-MOBILE MERGER REPORTEDLY IN THE WORKS: Multiple sources have reported that Sprint is in the process of acquiring T-Mobile at $40 per share, for a total value of $32 billion. The tablet has yet to ship, so no hard data has been tallied about how sales are comparing to shipments, but we'll keep an eye on whether the Surface does gain any traction among the enterprise segment.

Price will be another big impediment to adoption, with the Surface Pro 3 coming in at a whopping $799. “Microsoft is trying to find their place in terms of developing devices that are unique in the ecosystem,” he told BII, but “ Lenovo is a front runner.” Miller says that he has yet to see any company that plans to exclusively purchase the Microsoft tablet. He pointed to its new form factor, and the myriad ways the Surface can now function.ĭoes this mean that more companies will begin adopting the device for enterprise use? In the past, Surface sales have significantly lagged behind iPad and Android, and failed to meet sales expectations. Miller thinks that this new Surface Pro is a lot more interesting than previous models. According to Miller, the first two Surfaces were heavy, expensive, and had short battery life. We wanted to get a better grasp on whether enterprise demand for the new Surface is growing, so we spoke with Wes Miller, research analyst at Directions on Microsoft. With consumer demand for tablet sales declining, we believe that for this latest model of the Surface to really be a hit, it will need to be picked up by businesses and become a product adopted for enterprise use. This model has a new marketing strategy - it's a device Microsoft claims will “replace your laptop.” Microsoft's revamp is most likely the result of lackluster sales of previous Surface models. The tablet is set to be shipped sometime later this month, although tech bloggers have already been reviewing the device for a few weeks now. ĮNTERPRISE TABLET DEMAND : Last month, BII wrote about the launch of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablet. Mobile Insider is delivered first thing every morning exclusively to BI Intelligence members.
