Canalys WW Market Share 1Q13This year is not faring well for Apple. The company’s stock prices have gone down, consumers are claiming that there is no more innovation. It seems like Apple spends more time in court than it does on creating products. Even though the tech world seems to think Apple is on a downward path, the company has still managed to capture the majority of the tablet market share. By this fall, things may even take a swing upward for the iPad maker.

According to a recent estimate from analyst firm Canalys, Apple continues to lead in the tablet space with 46.4 percent of the market share. This is especially good news considering the tablet market is growing faster than PC and smart phones. Worldwide tablet shipment grew 106.1 percent year-over-year to 41.9 million units.

ecea_icade_8_bitty_controller_finalGaming on the iPad and the iPhone has become serious over the last couple of years, as processors and graphics in the systems have ramped up. Touchscreen gaming, however, has never been able to compete with the ease of controller-based gaming, leading several companies to create classic third party controller solutions such as the iCade.

According to Pocket Gamer, Apple is planning to debut its own controller solution, and soon. The site reports that Apple was at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco this week, secretly talking to developers about its new gaming device.

Are Apple, Microsoft and Google Setting up a Home Automation Battle?

0The living room is quickly becoming the “new black.” That is to say, electronics companies seem particularly interested in what goes on in the living room and how they can profit from it. Microsoft has been pushing Xbox Live in advertising lately and last month, the Verge reported that the company was building a set-top box so users could get the same experience with Xbox Live, but without the price.

Apple has been updating and adding features to its set-top box, Apple TV, in order to generate more in-home interest. Google has gone so far as to create Google TV, a software platform based on the Android operating system, specifically designed for smart TVs and set top boxes. But how far are these companies willing to go in the battle for living room supremacy? How about home automation?

WikiPad

We all know that gaming on mobile devices is incredibly popular. We all do it to one extent or another. It’s also possible that portable gaming systems (like the Nintendo 3DS or PlayStation PSP/Vita) have survived because of their interfaces giving access to push buttons and joystick-like controls that make gamers feel more like they are, in fact, gaming. If this supposition is true, it may spell success for the WikiPad tablet coming to us this fall from GameStop, the world’s largest multichannel retailer of video games.

Samsung Down on its Knees While Microsoft Ponders New Chances Against Apple

Microsoft

Samsung describes their rather devastating courtroom loss to Apple this week as “a loss for the American consumer.” Not surprising they would see it that way, though it certainly seems like a gutsy (and ironic) move for a company found guilty of copycatting to insinuate that Apple’s legal victory could result in fewer phone choices featuring even less innovation in the mobile device market. To late Samsung, you already set the bar with that one.

More accurately, Apple’s legal victory changed the playing field for other big-name competitors like Microsoft. With a brand new logo, updated operating system and fresh tablet poised for release, the familiar tech giant has been handed a gift: a chance at increased relevance.
