Operating on the belief that next-closest Samsung shipped 33 million smartphones, it had Android's collective share drop from 52.5 percent in the summer to 47 percent this fall.  Apart from the iPhone 4S' launch effect, Android had 'sagging midsection' where ...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1110/ipad2-unboxing2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Dueling ABI studies marked two milestones for mobile technology.  Getting details on netbook shipments, it found that mobile tablets had passed netbooks for the first time with about 13.6 million shipping versus 7.3 million of the primarily Windows-based netbooks.  Apple alone would have outsold the netbook class with 9.25 million iPads, or 68 percent of tablets by itself....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1110/ipad2-11.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Tablets have grown quickly enough that they're now the vast majority of ultramobile PCs in the US, ABI Research determined Thursday.  For the year as a whole, the researchers estimated that the iPad and similar tablets would make up 75 percent of the category.  The remaining 25 percent would be led by netbooks, but it would also have to split that share with niche PCs like Mobile Internet Devices....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1107/samsunggalaxysii-teardown.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[A new teardown by iFixit has revealed much of the construction of the Galaxy S II and has been joined by a similar look by ABI Research that has revealed some genuinely new parts.  While the battery life is unspectacular given the Samsung-made 1.2GHz Exynos chip, the Android 2.3 flagship uses a low-power Infineon XMM6260 baseband chip to keep the power consumption down while reaching full speed.  ...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1105/huluplus.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[In spite of doubts of cord cutting, at least some cable TV providers are feeling an impact from Internet video and some of their more digitally-aware phone companies, ABI Research found in a new study.  Cable still had the lead but dropped from 72 percent of TV viewing worldwide in 2009 to 69 percent this past year.  What growth there was took place in areas such as Latin America, where many hadn'...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1104/nokiae7-ctia.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Nokia's fall and Apple's rise could be quick enough that the iPhone pushes Nokia to third place in smartphones by the end of the year, ABI Research predicted Friday.  Having already slipped behind Android, Nokia's plunge from 40 percent of the smartphone space a year ago to 25 percent in in early 2011 was seen as a sign Nokia would continue to drop just as Apple was climbing.  iPhone shipments wer...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1006/iphone3gs-apps.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Mobile app stores could peak in as little as two years, ABI Research warned today.  It expects the download rate to peak by 2012 or 2013 and to slowly decline from then onwards.  Downloads could still be popular with 1.2 billion apps downloaded in 2015, but the decline would be quick enough that companies may not want to depend heavily on apps in the long term....]]></description>
