Google UK chief blames LG for “scarce” Nexus 4
Google’s UK and Ireland chief has apologized for the Nexus 4 supply debacle, describing the paucity of stock as “unacceptable” and blaming LG for “scarce” supplies that have left many buyers waiting weeks for their phone.

IDC: Android wins through 2016 with iOS a clear second
It would appear that the same forecast that we've been seeing for some time now with a variety of analysis groups remains true here with IDC, they showing 2012 through 2016 to be sustaining Android on top and iOS in second place across the planet. IDC's 2012 report also shows that not only has the smartphone segment of the mobile phone market at large been continuing to leap forward and up, but the entire mobile market has - surprise - taken a bit of a downturn. In 2012 the worldwide phone market has been forecast to grow just 1.4% year-over-year, this being what IDC calls the lowest annual growth rate in three years.
