Apple has sold 156 million devices with iPhone OS mobile platform. But for Tim Cooks grappling with the Chinese problem Apple could do better. Even in China. Even Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, was present at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference and took the opportunity to offer new material for reflection on the success of Apple, almost on the eve of new product announcements in March.
From the presentation in April of 2010 the Apple iPad tablet has sold 55 million units: in this context, Apple has taken three years to sell as many iPhones, five years to sell as many iPods and 22 years for selling as many Macs. Put more simply in 2011 Apple sold more Macs than IOS devices sold in 28 years. In fact, according to some calculations of industry analysts, the iPhone OS platform has reached total sales of 316 million units by the end of last year: 156 million were sold IOS devices more than any Mac ever sold (122 million).
But Cook has left to guess that Apple could do even better: if Apple has sold 37 million iPhones in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 means that 75 percent of users worldwide have made other choices. This represents just fewer than 9 percent of the total market for mobile phones. The Smartphone market last year was worth half a billion to one billion units and will come round in 2015, when the total cell will have 2 billion. This is an impressive opportunity for Cook to Apple that focuses on Chinese market with a particular focus.
The data for February show an increase in sales month on month by 38%, with a total turnover of 37.54 billion dollars. The Europe remains a strategic market. “Europe remains the main market, the goal is to get back to being the number three vendor in 2012 and recover the ground lost” this is essentially the message from President Jim Wong on the occasion of announcements of financial results in February.
Acer also aims, and yet, on the resources of the channel of the old continent to recover at least six points of market share and year-end to get to that 28% left for some time now. An increase in market share is essential for the vendor who made the sale to the mark, the time one of his strengths.
At the same time must deal with some predictions of perspective is not insignificant: the average price of ultra book that will begin to decline by about $ 500 in 2013 , grows less rapidly than the Smartphone market (at least in the old continent), so basically it is considered As a side close to zero the net book market.
The range of products offered is rather wide and Acer remains in all areas: that of the Smartphone (with both Android and Windows), the tablet (again on both platforms), ultra book, notebooks and PCs.

Google is ready to support the procedure for the FRAND licensing of patents. Google has begun the task of acquiring Motorola last August. The pending conclusion seems close.
Google, which now seems closer to the acquisition of Motorola’s Mobility, declared loyalty to the current practice of Motorola as a second patent licensing model commonly called FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-Discriminatory). This practice includes licensing fees for patents of 2.25 percent of the net selling price of each device. The net selling price is the selling price of a phone, a tablet or other device to consumers before any discounts and subsidies granted to consumers by carriers. In other words this means that Google will continue to support the application for a Motorola 2.25 percent for every iPhone sold by Apple as part of the proceedings for patent infringement by the manufacturer of Android devices against its rival.
Systems for Google Android are already a target because of violation of patents by Oracle. Apple for its part is involved in cases of patent infringement by Motorola, Samsung and HTC. Apple among others has asked a court California to issue a preliminary injunction to halt sales of new smart phones from Samsung, the Galaxy Nexus, as Apple infringed four patents. In addition, Microsoft and Motorola are committed to turn in a case of patent infringement relating to hardware and software used on the Android phone.
Google has begun the task of acquiring Motorola last August. The agreement is pending acceptance by the U.S. Department of Justice (which expects favorable), while the commission has provided Europe with a decision by February 13.
Google will roll out a new feature in face recognition for photos shared on Google+. It is completely a optional feature.
According to the only figures released by the Mountain View company, Google has over 40 + million users. As can be seen with the recent integration of Google + Circles contact manager in Gmail (Google has made an official announcement about this), Google’s ambition goes beyond the framework of a social network and is an evolution of its services with the application of a social stratum.
Circles of Google+ have the advantage of giving the user immediate control over the data it wants to share. A point that Google seems to be very careful with probably remember the episode of the early Google Buzz – a failure – including a mix of genres with Gmail contacts, which had people talking.
To Google+, Google announced a new feature facial recognition to be deployed in the coming days with precautions taken. The key is that contrary to what Facebook could do (which earned a complaint), Find My Face will not be implemented without the knowledge of the user.
Presented as an easier way to tag photos of yourself and friends, Find My Face has a character entirely optional, but enabled by default. “You have control over the tags that you accept or decline, and you can activate or not the feature in the settings Google +”, explains also the Google engineer Matt Steiner.
