		<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON (AP) &#8212; The Senate dragged Apple Inc., the world&#8217;s most valuable company, into the debate over the U.S. tax code Tuesday, grilling CEO Tim Cook over allegations that its Irish subsidiaries help the company avoid billions in U.S. taxes. Cook said the subsidiaries have nothing to do with reducing its U.S. taxes, a message he struggled to convey to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. (MORE: Senate Panel Says Apple Uses Firms Outside the U.S. to Avoid Taxes) &#8220;We pay all the taxes we owe &#8211; every single dollar,&#8221; Cook said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t depend on tax gimmicks.&#8221; The senate subcommittee released a report Monday that held up Apple as an example of the legal tax avoidance made possible by the U.S. tax code. It estimates that Apple avoided at least $3.5 billion in U.S. federal taxes in 2011 and $9 billion in 2012 by using its tax strategy, and described a complex setup involving Irish subsidiaries as being a key element of this strategy. But Cook said the Irish subsidiaries don&#8217;t reduce the company&#8217;s U.S. taxes at all. Rather, the company avoids paying the 35 percent federal tax rate on profits made overseas by not bringing those profits back to the U.S., a practice it shares with other multinationals. Apple&#8217;s enormous, iPhone-fueled profits mean that it has more cash stashed overseas than any other company: $102 billion. Cook reaffirmed Apple&#8217;s position that given the current U.S. tax rate, it has no intention of bringing that cash back to the U.S. Like other companies, it has a responsibility to shareholders to pay as little as possible in taxes. In effect, Apple is holding out for a lower corporate tax rate, and Cook spent some of his time in the spotlight to advocate for one, accompanied by a streamlining of the tax code to eliminate deductions and credits. Cook, who is more accustomed to commanding a stage in front of investors and techies than facing a congressional committee, took a defensive tone with his opening statement. He punched out words when stressing<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=163183&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(WASHINGTON) — Apple Inc. employs a group of affiliate companies located outside the United States to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. income taxes, a Senate investigation has found. The world&#8217;s most valuable company is holding overseas some $102 billion of its $145 billion in cash, and an Irish subsidiary that earned $22 billion in 2011 paid only $10 million in taxes, according to the report issued Monday by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The strategies Apple uses are legal, and many other multinational corporations use similar tax techniques to avoid paying U.S. income taxes on profits they reap overseas. But Apple uses a unique twist, the report found. The company&#8217;s tactics raise questions about loopholes in the U.S. tax code, lawmakers say. The spotlight on Apple&#8217;s tax strategy comes at a time of fevered debate in Washington over whether and how to raise revenues to help reduce the federal deficit. Many Democrats complain that the government is missing out on collecting billions because companies are stashing profits abroad and avoiding taxes. Republicans want to cut the corporate tax rate of 35 percent and ease the tax burden on money that U.S. companies make abroad. They say the move would encourage companies to invest at home. Apple CEO Tim Cook, the company&#8217;s chief financial officer and its tax chief are scheduled to testify and explain the company&#8217;s tax strategy at a hearing by the subcommittee Tuesday. They are expected to face tough questions. The subcommittee&#8217;s chairman, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and other panel members could hold up Apple as an example of a powerful company using its privileged position to avoid taxes while ordinary Americans must pay them. The subcommittee last fall derided executives from other technology giants over similar allegations. Apple refuted the subcommittee&#8217;s assertions in testimony prepared for the hearing and released to the public Monday evening. Apple said it employs tens of thousands of Americans and pays &#8220;an extraordinary amount&#8221; in U.S. taxes, citing the roughly $6 billion it paid in fiscal 2012. Apple &#8220;complies fully<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=163133&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) &#8212; Apple says its customers have downloaded more than 50 billon applications from its App Store since its launch in 2008. Apple Inc. said Thursday that the 50 billionth download was a game called &#8220;Say the Same Thing&#8221; by Space Inch. The App Store had 500 apps when it first opened. It now has more than 850,000 individual apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The store hit the 10 billion downloads mark in early 2011 and 25 billion in March 2012. The 50 billion milestone does not include updates or re-downloads. Apps range from newspapers and magazines to games, business tools and travel applications.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162948&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Break the law and Apple may follow up by breaking into your iPhone, reports CNET, though if you represent the long arm of the law asking Cupertino to give you a hand (or would the proper term be demanding?), it sounds like you&#8217;ll have to wait in line: up to seven weeks, in seems. Why? Because requests from law enforcement officials to hack into someone&#8217;s iPhone have been so overwhelming that Apple&#8217;s had to create a waiting list to manage them all. Using a highly secure password on your phone (think long and completely random) should keep just about everyone at bay &#8212; but not someone with backdoor access. You knew there were rumors of a backdoor on the iPhone, right? Still, even if those rumors haven&#8217;t been wildly exaggerated, it sounds like there&#8217;s a significant waiting period to enlist Apple&#8217;s help. Cnet unearthed court documents revealing that an agent at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (the ATF) tried for three months last summer to find someone &#8220;with the forensic capabilities to unlock&#8221; an iPhone 4S. Failing that, the agent turned to Apple for help in a case involving a Kentucky man accused of distributing crack cocaine. But according to case opinion filed by U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell, the ATF was &#8220;placed on a waiting list&#8221; by Cupertino &#8212; a waiting list with an up to seven-week delay, says the ATF agent, claiming he was told this by someone in Apple&#8217;s legal department. Cnet isn&#8217;t sure how long the process ultimately took, but notes it &#8220;appears to have been at least four months.&#8221; As Ars Technica notes, it&#8217;s not clear how much information Apple can access by hacking an iPhone (it&#8217;s much easier to get at data replicated to the cloud), but the ATF agent claimed in a sworn statement that Apple &#8220;has the capabilities to bypass the security software&#8221; on the iPhone, and could &#8220;download the contents of the phone to an external memory device&#8221; (like a USB key). Apple, as you&#8217;d expect, isn&#8217;t commenting on the matter, but it&#8217;s interesting<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162573&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) &#8212; T-Mobile US Inc., the last of the major U.S. carriers to start carrying iPhones, is selling them at a brisk pace, it reported Wednesday. T-Mobile US, the No. 4 U.S. carrier, said it has sold half a million iPhones since it started on April 12. That puts its sales at roughly the same rate as Sprint Nextel Corp., the No. 3 carrier, which has far more customers. The company said late last year that it planned to sell the iPhone, which helped it keep customers in the first three months of the year. As previously reported, it saw a small increase in customers under its own brand for the first time in four years. Analysts believe the customers were holding out for the iPhone. T-Mobile US&#8217;s parent Deutsche Telekom AG, discussed the U.S. business as it reported a 3.5 percent increase in net profit in the first quarter to 564 million euros ($739 million) from 545 million euros in the same quarter a year ago. Earnings rose in part because the company saw smaller deductions for the depreciation of its U.S. business. Deutsche Telekom completed a merger of T-Mobile USA with MetroPCS Communications Inc. on April 30, creating the new T-Mobile US Inc. Deutsche Telekom owns 74 percent of the new company, while the rest went to MetroPCS shareholders. T-Mobile USA, which had been losing contract customers, switched to a new &#8220;Un-carrier&#8221; approach in March and started selling phones on installment plans. Deutsche Telekom AG also said it had 300 million euros less in accounting-related reductions related to the merger, which is part of a turnaround effort. As the No. 4 mobile provider, T-Mobile USA has struggled against bigger competitors. Otherwise, sales and earnings slipped at Deutsche Telekom. Revenue fell 4.5 percent to 58.7 billion euros, while adjusted operating earnings &#8211; which exclude financial items such as depreciation related to the merger &#8211; declined 4.3 percent to 4.29 billion euros. That still exceeded the analyst predictions for 4.24 billion euros compiled by financial information provider FactSet.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162455&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While we&#8217;d certainly like to see an iPad Mini with a Retina display this year, months of rumors have produced no compelling evidence that it&#8217;s going to happen. If anything, we&#8217;re less certain about the prospect than ever in light of several conflicting reports. Thanks for nothing, rumor mill! The latest scuttlebutt is a puzzler, courtesy of Richard Shim at NPD DisplaySearch (via CNet and Business Insider). Shim says Apple is on track to ship an iPad Mini with a Retina display this fall, but with the same A5 processor as the current model. A more powerful version, he said, will follow in the first quarter of 2014. Unless Apple has pulled off some miraculous engineering, in which a two year-old processor can power quadruple the pixels at no apparent cost to overall performance, NPD&#8217;s story doesn&#8217;t add up. At a resolution of 2048-by-1536, a Retina-display iPad Mini would have four times as many pixels as the non-Retina model. It takes more power to handle all those pixels, which is why Apple introduced the A5x chip in the third-generation iPad last year. Speaking to Business Insider, Shim had no explanation for why Apple might use an A5 chip instead, or how that would even work. At this point, I&#8217;d usually turn to other rumors to figure out some sort of consensus &#8212; an Apple tea leaf triangulation, if you will &#8212; but consensus on the next iPad Mini is hard to find. Here&#8217;s a sampling of other recent rumors with conflicting information: In December, Chinese website Zol.com.cn said a Retina iPad Mini would soon begin mass production, with an A6X processor. Contradicting that report, Chinese-language site, MyDrivers.com, claimed that  small-scale production had begun on a Retina iPad Mini 2, but with an A5X processor. In March, Chinese website CNYes said the Retina-equipped Mini was on track to launch in the fall, with no word on processing power. iMore, a fairly reliable Apple rumor source, claimed that the next iPads could debut &#8220;as soon as April.&#8221; Didn&#8217;t happen. The site cautioned that a Retina<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162311&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, it&#8217;s clear that anyone who thought tablets were a fad is dead wrong. According to IDC, tablet makers shipped 49.2 million units during the first quarter of 2013, for an increase of 142 percent over the same period a year ago. PC sales, meanwhile, are down to 76.3 million units shipped. At this rate, it&#8217;s safe to assume tablets will overtake PCs by the end of the year. IDC&#8217;s figures aren&#8217;t gospel, because for the most part they aren&#8217;t based on official numbers from hardware vendors. But as a general sense of what&#8217;s going on, they provide us with a few interesting takeaways: Apple Isn&#8217;t In Tablet Trouble Percentage-wise, Apple&#8217;s tablet shipments aren&#8217;t growing as quickly as the competition. Samsung, for instance, enjoyed 283 percent year-over-year growth. Asus&#8217; shipments went up by 350 percent, while Amazon&#8217;s shipments went up by 157 percent. Apple&#8217;s growth? A mere 65 percent. The difference led CNet to wonder whether Apple is &#8220;losing its edge&#8221; to other tablet makers. No, it&#8217;s not. For one thing, the numbers for Apple represent sales to end users, rather than shipments, so it&#8217;s possible that the company has shipped many more units than IDC&#8217;s figures let on. Even if we ignore that discrepancy, iPad &#8220;shipments&#8221; increased by 7.7 million, compared to 10.6 million for the next four tablet makers combined. And most of those companies only boosted their market share by sacrificing profits and selling tablets for dirt-cheap&#8211;something Apple hasn&#8217;t done to nearly the same extent. Other tablet makers are addressing a part of the market that Apple hasn&#8217;t, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re eating Apple&#8217;s lunch. Amazon Isn&#8217;t Destroying Android Just like last year, Amazon&#8217;s tablet shipments dropped off big time after the holidays, with just 1.8 million Kindle Fires shipped, compared to 6 million in Q4 2012, but it&#8217;s not as bad as it looks. Shipments don&#8217;t equal sales to end-users, and as NPD analyst Stephen Baker pointed out a year ago, Amazon tends to ship lots of units during the holidays, and then sell them<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161727&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you own an iPhone, there&#8217;s a very good chance you run into battery problems now and again—times when you wish you had the battery life to take one more photo, look up the location of a restaurant or make a quick phone call. But the more we use and rely on our smartphones, the more likely they are to run out of juice when we need them most. However, with a bit of awareness of how you use your iPhone—and what apps you&#8217;re using on it—you can curb your iPhone&#8217;s battery hogging tendency. We&#8217;ll take a look at what types of apps commonly drain your battery power and look into the ways you can keep your iPhone juiced up. What&#8217;s always running? The biggest battery drain by far will be the apps that you&#8217;re always using. Do you keep Facebook open on your iPhone and check it regularly? Do you have AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) open on your phone to talk to friends on the go? Or Pandora streaming music in the background? Some of these apps will even keep running in the background, burning battery life even when you aren&#8217;t paying any attention to them. Looking at our examples, Facebook will actively notify you of new updates or messages, AIM is constantly checking to see if your friends are on or offline and streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora or Spotify will keep streaming until you tell them to stop. And as long as these apps are active and doing things, they&#8217;re burning through your battery life. In addition to your favorite apps, you need to be wary of apps that keep your screen active (though you might not think about it, it takes a lot of energy to keep your phone&#8217;s screen lit up) or put a strain on your smartphone&#8217;s internal processor. Beyond the video streaming apps we&#8217;ve already mentioned, be on the watch out for games: they might be fun, but they&#8217;ll cut sharply into your battery life! Video and photo editing apps like iMovie and iPhoto also take a<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161619&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The odds are looking good that Apple will ditch the textured, bubbly look of its iOS software in favor of something more modern. Citing &#8220;multiple people who have either seen or have been briefed&#8221; on iOS 7, 9to5Mac reports that the software for iPhones and iPads will sport a flatter look: The new interface is said to be &#8216;very, very flat,&#8217; according to one source. Another person said that the interface loses all signs of gloss, shine, and skeuomorphism seen across current and past versions of iOS. Another source framed the new OS as having a level of &#8216;flatness&#8217; approaching recent releases of Microsoft’s Windows Phone &#8216;Metro&#8217; [user interface]. We&#8217;ve heard a similar story before. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Jonathan Ive, Apple&#8217;s senior vice president of industrial design, was pushing for a flatter look across iOS. A few questions come to mind: Given that both Windows Phone and Android have pushed toward modern software aesthetics, this seems like a rare instance where Apple is following the pack. Can Apple flatten out iOS in a way that seems fresh and original? How big of a shift will this be for users? Will user-interface elements work differently or is this strictly an aesthetic change? To what extent will the changes affect third-party apps, and how much work will they have to do to flatten out their own software? We&#8217;ll likely find out on June 10, when Apple kicks off its Worldwide Developers Conference. The company is promising an &#8220;in-depth look at what&#8217;s next in iOS and OS X&#8221; during the event.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161360&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thinking about letting your child or teen borrow your iPad or giving them your hand me down iPhone? Just like with a PC, your big concern is probably keeping them away from inappropriate content. But an Apple product is a great choice because of their solid parental controls and the company&#8217;s strong stance against pornography—Steve Jobs once suggested that the company had a &#8220;moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone.&#8221; We&#8217;ll walk you through where your youngster might be able to find inappropriate content on an Apple iOS device, as well as the tools Apple provides to keep them out of it. Where do I have to watch out for adult content? Apple&#8217;s app store is carefully curated: Apple approves every app that goes live to make sure it meets their standards, and even Playboy Magazine&#8217;s iOS app doesn&#8217;t feature any nudity. Each app also features an age rating prominently displayed under the app name, listing who the app is appropriate for: ages 4+, 9+, 12+, or 17+. Of course your definition of what&#8217;s appropriate may not match Apple&#8217;s, so you&#8217;ll still want to review any apps for content, but this at least gives you a guideline. However, Apple&#8217;s stores for books, music, movies and television are far less policed, offering an open market of commercially available content. You can find anything here that you might find on the shelves of a store, including R-rated movies and songs with mature lyrics. Where you have to be most wary, however, is the Internet. Both the iPhone and iPad have access to the Internet, and a world of content is open from a web browser or YouTube search—not all of it appropriate for young audiences. So what can I do about adult content? iPhone content controls Having a secure password for the iTunes account the iPhone or iPad uses—one your child doesn&#8217;t know and won&#8217;t guess—will prevent them from installing paid apps, purchasing movies or music, or making in-app purchases. However, bear in mind that if you&#8217;ve entered the password to buy something, there&#8217;s a 15 minute window<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161282&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; When Apple launched its iTunes music store a decade ago amid the ashes of Napster, the music industry &#8211; reeling from the effects of online piracy &#8211; was anxious to see how the new music service would shake out. &#8220;The sky was falling, and iTunes provided a place where we were going to monetize music and in theory stem the tide of piracy. So, it was certainly a solution for the time,&#8221; said Michael McDonald, who co-founded ATO Records with Dave Matthews and whose Mick Management roster includes John Mayer and Ray LaMontagne. The iTunes music store became much more than a solution; it changed how we consume music and access entertainment. It&#8217;s not only music&#8217;s biggest retailer, it also dominates the digital video market, capturing 67 percent of the TV show sale market and 65 percent of the movie sale market, according to information company NPD group. Its apps are the most profitable, it has expanded to books and magazines, and it is now available in 119 countries. This week, iTunes posted a record $2.4 billion in revenue in first-quarter earnings. &#8220;They revolutionized the retail landscape by making a truly interactive and very user-friendly space and platform, and they managed to do it by keeping a great music experience attached to what was very difficult technology,&#8221; said Scott Borchetta, head of Big Machine Records, home to Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts. &#8220;They made it very easy to buy music digitally, and that&#8217;s why I think they&#8217;ve run so quickly in the lead for that space and continue to dominate the space.&#8221; But as iTunes celebrates its 10-year mark Sunday, it faces renewed scrutiny on how it will continue to dominate in the next decade &#8211; or whether it can. With competition from subscription services like Spotify and other services like Amazon.com, Netflix, Hulu and others, iTunes will likely need to reinvent itself to remain at the top of the digital entertainment perch.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t tend to salt away memorabilia from the (countless) events I&#8217;ve attended as a tech journalist. So when I was rummaging through a box of old papers in my garage and came across my press badge for Apple&#8217;s event at the COMDEX conference in November, 1996, I was startled. I hadn&#8217;t kept it so much as forgotten to get rid it. I hadn&#8217;t, however, forgotten the event itself, a press breakfast held immediately before Steve Jobs returned to the company he co-founded. A month later, Apple would acquire Jobs&#8217; NeXT for $400 million, thereby initiating the sequence of events which would eventually make it the tech industry&#8217;s most successful company. But at COMDEX, Apple was still floundering and edging ever closer to disaster. The breakfast didn&#8217;t go well. A mob of journalists showed up, apparently more than Apple was prepared to deal with. (Even when Apple was in bleak shape, a lot of people were really interested in it.) I also recall a bizarrely long delay, once we were all seated, before the briefing began. Once it did, Ellen Hancock, Apple&#8217;s chief technology officer and its second-highest profile executive after CEO Gil Amelio, gave a presentation that didn&#8217;t impress me. One thing I had forgotten was the topic of Apple&#8217;s COMDEX 1996 news. An InfoWorld article over at Google Book Search reminded me: Hancock said that Apple was going to release a server capable of running Windows NT as well as its own Mac OS. Yup &#8212; Apple was betting that its future rested, in part, on building Windows boxes. At the time, it wasn&#8217;t an insane strategy &#8212; plenty of supposedly savvy pundits were telling the company that it should reinvent itself into a high-end Windows PC company &#8212; but I left the breakfast feeling dejected even though I had no particular emotional investment in Apple&#8217;s fate. The badge itself neatly conveys that it was created by an Apple very different from the one we know today. It has the old rainbow-colored logo that Jobs killed in 1998.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=160740&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Walt Disney and Steve Jobs had a lot in common, at least in aspects of business. There were a number of other interesting parallels between their personalities too; however, the two men certainly were not just alike. In fact, they were very different in numerous ways, each having been born in a different generation: Disney was born in Chicago in 1901, and Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955. Disney was generally a more formal, suit-wearing, conservative businessman, while Jobs exemplified the counter-culture values of the 1960s. I can go on with their list of differences, but what is really remarkable are all of the similarities between the two men and how they both impacted the American culture and then the world. Both Disney and Jobs built strong, successful businesses with a variety of creative products, along with unique, standout brands. What is most similar, though, is how they each went about it, what motivated them and what they saw as priorities in doing so. During my adulthood, I have been a lifelong fan of the Macintosh, Apple and Steve Jobs, but I’ve also been a lifelong fan of Walt Disney. Since childhood, I have been a fan of many of the Disney movies and especially the theme parks, but now as an adult, I am inspired by the man. A similarity between the two men may not be obvious to many, but I came to recognize it some years ago. David Greelish I have three framed stock certificates that I purchased in 2004, which hang on the wall in my office. There is one from Apple Computer, Inc., one from The Walt Disney Company and then one from a company which doesn’t exist anymore as a stand-alone corporation: Pixar. My Pixar stock certificate is now even more of a cherished and valuable collector’s item to me. Those three certificates make up a set that I created: “The Steve Jobs Collection.” The reason I purchased them was because of how cool I thought it was for Steve Jobs<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=160322&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who&#8217;s winning the mobile platform wars, Apple&#8217;s iOS or Google&#8217;s Android? It&#8217;s one of the blogosphere&#8217;s favorite tech topics. Every new nugget of competitive information is fodder for an avalanche of coverage. Oftentimes, a story will declare that Android is beating iOS or that iOS is beating Android. Really, though, it&#8217;s silly to obsess over any one data point. If what you&#8217;re after is a clear idea of how the world&#8217;s two dominant mobile operating systems are doing &#8212; rather than an excuse to make bold proclamations and/or cheer for your favorite &#8212; you want to consider lots of data points. So that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing in this post. I&#8217;ve rustled up results from a bunch of studies, focusing on information that&#8217;s relatively fresh. (In some cases, it dates from the fourth quarter of 2012 &#8212; stats for the first quarter of this year are still scarce.) A few notes on this exercise: I&#8217;m not really going to look at changes over time. Trajectories are important, but there&#8217;s a limit to how much I can do in one story. I won&#8217;t do deep analysis of why the numbers look the way they do. I&#8217;m collecting rather than interpreting, though I hope that some of you will draw conclusions in the comments. I&#8217;m not going to include specific numbers for anything other than iOS and Android. Sorry, Windows Phone and BlackBerry &#8212; I&#8217;ll come back to you and how you&#8217;re doing at some point, I promise. I won&#8217;t include forecasts and other predictions. I don&#8217;t believe in &#8216;em. I&#8217;m not endorsing any of these studies. That&#8217;s dangerous unless you have a thorough knowledge of the methodology behind the numbers. Which I don&#8217;t. Without any further ado, here are some key competitive questions, and the answers as provided by various research firms. Which platform is selling the most smartphones? In research conducted from mid-November through mid-February, Kantar Worldpanel Comtech showed sales of all Android phones outpacing the iPhone by a hefty margin: 52.1 percent to 43.5 percent. However, judging from past Kantar<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=160143&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Apple getting ready to crack down on iOS apps that help you find other apps? That&#8217;s the word going around in the tech world, at least, after Apple booted AppGratis from its store. AppGratis is kind of like a Groupon for iPhone and iPad apps. The folks behind AppGratis work with other softwaremakers to reduce their prices or give their apps away. AppGratis then sends out a daily notification to its users, telling them about the deals. As All Things Digital reports, AppGratis violates a couple of Apple&#8217;s developer guidelines. One: &#8220;Apps that display apps other than your own for purchase or promotion in a manner similar to or confusing with the App Store will be rejected.&#8221; Two: &#8220;Apps cannot use push notifications to send advertising, promotions, or direct marketing of any kind.&#8221; The removal of AppGratis is apparently just the start, as Apple may now be looking to purge other apps that serve a similar purpose. Although Apple&#8217;s enforcement of the above policies has been inconsistent before, that&#8217;s about to change, All Things D&#8217;s unnamed sources claim. This could be an issue for frugal shoppers. Apple&#8217;s own store doesn&#8217;t have a built-in way to find temporary sales or promotions. Apps like AppGratis provide a valuable service by pointing you to deals you might otherwise miss. Apple&#8217;s problem, according to All Things D, is that these apps can be confusing if they look and behave too much like the App Store. And in the case of AppGratis, which organizes its own promotions, it encourages developers to pay their way to more downloads, which in turn sends them higher up the App Store&#8217;s own charts. I don&#8217;t entirely buy those explanations. For one thing, users aren&#8217;t confused that easily by apps with duplicate functionality. They certainly knew the difference between Google Maps and Apple Maps, and I&#8217;m guessing they&#8217;d know the difference between the App Store and an app whose primary purpose is to hunt down good deals. As for gaming the App Store charts, that already happens without the assistance<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=159906&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Wall Street Journal reports &#8220;people familiar with the device&#8217;s production&#8221; as saying the next iPhone is on its way for &#8220;a possible summer launch.&#8221; Apple released the first four generations of iPhones in the June-July timeframe, while the two most recent versions, the 4S and the 5, were released in October and September, respectively. The Journal reports that the newest version will be &#8220;similar in size and shape&#8221; to the iPhone 5, but that Apple is also working on a less-expensive model with &#8220;a different casing from the higher-end iPhone&#8221; and a possible launch &#8220;as soon as the second half of this year.&#8221; Apple to Begin iPhone Production in 2Q [WSJ.com]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=159442&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
