, Oct 20th 2011 Discuss [2]

Apple's iPhone still continue to dominate smartphone sales on AT&T, with the 2.7m activations of the iOS handset outweighing all other smartphone sales combined in Q3 2011. Android and other non-iPhone activations rose to almost half of AT&T's 4.8m smartphone sales in the three month period, the carrier has announced, with Android sales more than doubling year-on-year. For the first time, more AT&T postpaid customers are using smartphones than dumb-phones. Read The Full Story

iPhone 4 Siri hack suggests Apple not hardware behind 4S exclusivity

, Oct 15th 2011 Discuss [22]

An unofficial port of the iPhone 4S' Siri voice recognition system to the iPhone 4 has been revealed, though it's unclear whether Apple will ever enable the speech control tech for the older handset. Currently the port - the handiwork of developer Steve Troughton-Smith and 9 to 5 Mac - is capable of loading the Siri interface and controls; however, since Apple's server-side processes are integral to Siri's interaction with the iPhone hardware, right now any spoken commands won't be followed.

Target is finally selling some Android tablets

, Oct 14th 2011 Discuss [7]

If you’ve been following along with the epic telling of Target Superstore’s future in the Mobile business with your humble narrator, you know that they’re certainly having an interesting time selling Android tablets. Amid the Apple’s iPad 2 sitting always at least one aisle away from the Android selection in a MUCH nicer showing than the Android tablets have ever had and the smartphone wall being dominated by two iPhone displays three times the size of any other smartphone, one would think that Apple would be dominating. As it turns out, one Android tablet in particular may be jumping off the shelves.
