According to a new study leads Iphone operating system is still over Android.

The study is conducted by Chitika ad network based on figures from over 80 000 sites, mainly from the United States. The study was conducted during the first two weeks in July recorded about 9 million handsets in Ios, compared with about 7.7 million phones running Android.

Android growth is impressive given that the iPhone and Ios has been around for almost two years before Android was released. Android has the advantage that it’s on handsets from a variety of manufacturers so that it had a rapid growth.
According Chitika so run now almost exactly half of all iPhone Ios 4, Apple’s latest mobile operating system, released last month.
Among Androidtelefoner majority Android uses a 2.1 with a share of 55 percent. Android 2.2 (Froyo), released a few weeks ago running as yet only 3.3 percent of all Androidtelefoner. As 40 percent of Android-users still running on Android version 1.5 or 1.6.

Today, Thursday, July 15 Motorola released their new smart phone Droid X.

First up in the U.S. to begin selling Droid X is in the U.S. operator Verizon Wireless
The Android-based handset has received good reviews after a series of previews.

With a 4.3-inch screen, good multimedia features and a relatively long battery life compared to many competitors. Although it is unlikely to be so Droid X comes up in sales levels for the iPhone, but it have been showing signs of a great interest in Motorola’s new mobile. Zeus Kerravala, who is an analyst at Yankee Group, says that the earier release of Droid X that is to use all the bad publicity Iphone 4.
Verizon has not been slow to exploit antenna problems of Iphone 4, as a consumer magazine Consumer Reports recently warned. In the ads, the company produced exclusively to Droid X “dual antennas” which allows the user to “hold the phone how you want” and use it from anywhere to call.

Given that the iPhone sold four of 1.7 million copies the first three days, it is clear that it is the product of focus when it comes to competitors. U.S. retailer Best Buy have stopped all advance orders, and Verizon Wireless expects that the mobile phone runs out of stocks.
Droid X are using the operating system Android 2.1, an one update to Flash 2.2 and 1.10 later this year.

Departmenten of defends worldwide are concern about the Taliban in Afghanistan starting to use smart phones like the iPhone.

The Taliban once again started to gain ground in Afghanistan.
According to Matt Yanopoilos of the Australian Department of Defence and he claims that this is because the Taliban have begun to invest in modern information technology.

Matt Yanopoilos says that the Taliban use the iPhone and various apps to collect relevant data.

It is well known that the Taliban, like Apple’s mobile. A year ago you could read that Mullah Zaif (known Taliban) used his iPhone to all sorts of things, Mullah Zaif should have said “it is easy to use and modern and I love it”

U.S. Army has now also become curious about the iPhone and other mobile solutions from Apple. High generals and military researchers have cautiously try to begun a partnership with Apple.

On the App Store’s top-10. Opera Mini is located in the top in all countries except one.

Opera Mini was released last Tuesday, and the Norwegian browser has become a huge success. This app is number one in virtually all countries, Australia is the only country that ranks in second place after the game Bird Strike.

It took 20 days, 8 hours and 31 minutes for Apple to approve Opera Mini for iPhone and iPod tuch.
I have previously written about this, see here.
We should not take to much notice, that it took 20 days, it register lots of apps every day.
So now it is to download it to your device and see if it is as good as Opera says, for if it would be so, then I can not see one that will work with
safari in the future, one thing is for sure, Opera for PC is very good.

Norwegian Opera has now submitted Mini mobile web browser to the App Store.
If Apple will approve a competitor for iPhones Safari remains to be seen.

Analysts believe that Apple will stop Opera, so Apple can continue maintain control over the user’s surfing, say the news-agency Reuters.

Opera showed first up to Opera Mini for iPhone during the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. The developers say it is “rocket fast.” and claims that Mini load Web pages up to six times faster than the Apple iPhone’s default browser Safari.
The developers say it’s because Opera do compress data by up to 90 percent before it is sent to your mobile. This is an advantage, reducing costs for users that surf without a data plan with a fixed monthly fee, or if you use your iPhone abroad, says Opera.

Operas mini-browser is already available for several other mobile operating systems and will be available in more than 50 million handsets worldwide.

On Opera Mini’s page can you follow the time to see how long time ago it was submitted to iPhone for approve, this looks little like a PR-thing but quite cool if I can say that.

Some time ago Apple sent a subpoena requests in 20 potential patent states that have been done by HTC. Patent infringement is alleged to have been made in the iPhone hardware and software. Apple writes, for example, the finger used to unlock phones with the operating system Android is stolen from the Iphone. Phones that would infringe the patent Appels include Nexus One and HTC Hero.

HTC has not commented on this before. But during an interview with CEO Jason Mackenzie, Jason says the following:
“HTC strongly disagrees with Apple’s allegations. We will use all legal tools we have to both defend ourselves and to correct any misunderstandings. We feel confident in  our innovation and our ability to defend ourselves in this case. ”

Exactly how the company intends to defend itself will Jason do’t says anything about, but Jason, have mentions that a written formal statement will show up sometime in the next few weeks. Furthermore, said Jason Mackenzie, that it took some time depending on the HTC was taken by surprise by the allegations, business representatives found out of whats happened when the press called.
Analysts have speculated about a posteriori that this, really is an indirect attack from Apple to Google underlying operating system in most of the phones in question.
Google was when it came to light, quick to say that the company stands behind HTC and Android.

The Norwegian browser Opera claims that their mobile browser is six times faster then Safari, on iPhones.
This was presented during the Mobile World Congress where the Operating system used a developer version of the iPhone in order to demonstrate the high speed.
However, this super-fast Web browser will proberly never be used by ordinary users, Apple does not currently allow third-party browser for iPhone.
