Nielsen reveals Android insights on app usage
Rating: Sybase says Apple sells apps 9x faster than burgers
America’s Nielsen has finally woken up to the fact that you need to load software onto smartphones in order to accurately gauge exactly what kind of information handset users consume. comScore has been doing this for ages. Anyway, in a Blog on the Nielsen site here, Don Kellogg, director for telecom research and insights with Nielsen, revealed some of the insights gained for this new Nielsen Smartphone Analytics. The main one is that the Top Ten Android apps account for 43 per cent of all the time spent by Android consumers on mobile apps. Although ‘on-device meters’ have been installed on “thousands of iOS and Android smartphones” across the USA, Kellog didn’t bother to divulge the iPhone equivalent stats. (Probably because he’s plugging an Android webinar on September 15th [2011]. Which is a bit of a shame really because a Sybase blog compared iPhone apps to McDonald’s burgers. Continue reading

Will Asus beat Motorola to 1st Honeycomb tablet out?
Rating: Goes heavy on built-in apps, too
Asus is claiming that it will be the first to market with Google’s Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) OS in the shape of its Eee Pad Transformer TF101. The Press blurb says this device will become available on April 6th [2011] but curiously both sites taking pre-orders online say April 18th. So, it’s still possible that Motorola’s Xoom which at least one online retailer says will be out by April 9th. Never mind because whatever happens the tablet wars are hotting up and Apple is going to face serious competition at last. Continue reading
