Strategy Analytics: Samsung Galaxy S3 Becomes World’s Best-Selling Smartphone Model in Q3 2012

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–According to the latest research from Strategy Analytics, Samsung’s Galaxy S3 overtook Apple’s iPhone 4S to become the world’s best-selling smartphone model for the first time ever in the third quarter of 2012. A large touchscreen, extensive distribution and generous operator subsidies have propelled the Galaxy S3 to the top spot.

Neil Shah, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics, said, “Samsung’s Galaxy S3 smartphone model shipped 18.0 million units worldwide during the third quarter of 2012. The Galaxy S3 captured an impressive 11 percent share of all smartphones shipped globally and it has become the world’s best-selling smartphone model for the first time ever. A large touchscreen design, extensive distribution across dozens of countries, and generous operator subsidies have been among the main causes of the Galaxy S3’s success. Apple shipped an estimated 16.2 million iPhone 4S units worldwide for second place, as consumers temporarily held off purchases in anticipation of a widely expected iPhone 5 upgrade at the end of the quarter.”

Neil Mawston, Executive Director at Strategy Analytics, added, “Samsung’s Galaxy S3 has proven wildly popular with consumers and operators across North America, Europe and Asia. However, the Galaxy S3’s position as the world’s best-selling smartphone model is likely to be short-lived. The Apple iPhone 5 has gotten off to a solid start already with an estimated 6.0 million units shipped globally during Q3 2012. We expect the new iPhone 5 to out-ship Samsung’s Galaxy S3 in the coming fourth quarter of 2012 and Apple should soon reclaim the title of the world’s most popular smartphone model.”

How to Fix a Frozen iPhone

Apple iPhone 4 is one of the most sophisticated gadgets ever launched. With a 1 GB A4 processor, 512 MB of eDRAM, 3.5 inch touchscreen display, 5 MP camera, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, it’s the best Apple device launched so far. What more could you ask for? It actually lives up to its slogan of ‘This changes everything. Again.’ It really does. In spite of all these features, at times the Apple iPhone 4 may freeze, when too many applications are opened at the same time. This is a problem that plagues the most powerful of laptop computers and iPhone is just a smart phone. However, even if your iPhone freezes, there is no reason to panic. It can be easily restored back to functionality. In this Buzzle article, I show you how to fix a frozen iPhone and bring it back to working condition, within a few seconds.

How to Fix a Frozen iPhone 4?

There are many reasons why the iPhone may hang up and stop responding to any actions on the touchscreen. The most likely reason for this problem is the opening up of too many applications at the same time. This tends to happen occasionally when you are parallel processing several applications at the same time. Here are four ways in which you can unfreeze the iPhone to normal working condition, within a few moments.

Technique 1: Press Down the Home Button

In most cases, when the iPhone stops responding, the way out is quite simple. There is a square ‘Home’ button right at the bottom of the device. When iPhone freezes, just press on the ‘Home’ button, till the home screen appears, to bring it back to responsive condition. In 90% of the cases, this trick should work. The phone is programmed to shut down any running applications, as soon as the home button is pressed. This should restore functionality quite easily. Let us see what you can do, if this doesn’t work.

Technique 2: Press Sleep & Home Button Simultaneously

If the home button pressing doesn’t work, the next option is to press down the sleep/wake button located at the top and the home button simultaneously for a few seconds. After a few seconds, the default red slider will appear, which you should ignore and keep pressing down both the buttons. After a few moments, the Apple logo will appear and the iPhone will restart. If all goes well, you should see the lock screen appearing and the iPhone will be back to working ways.

Technique 3: Power Off and Restart iPhone

Alternatively, you can just press down on the ‘Sleep/Wake’ button and keep pressing down until a red slider appears. Slide it to turn power off the device. Then press and hold the button again till the iPhone restarts. This should solve your problem.

Technique 4: Connect to iTunes & Restore to Factory Settings

If none of the above work and the iPhone stays unresponsive, you have to opt for a factory reset to original settings. Connect the phone to your computer using USB connector, open iTunes, back up data and click on the ‘Restore’ button. Once you do that, within a few minutes, all the stored data will be erased and it will be restored back to original factory condition. This will wipe out all your stored data, which you can then restore back from your iTunes library. Now your iPhone should be as good as new and fully functional.

So that’s how you can fix a frozen iPhone and thaw it back to working ways in a few seconds. In most cases the home plus sleep button reset works magnificently. As suggested before, if none of the above techniques succeed in breaking the iPhone’s frozen reverie, go for the complete restore facility, which can be implemented using iTunes. That is bound to work in all cases. Avoid opening too many applications simultaneously, which may cause the iPhone to freeze. Regularly update the phone with the latest version of iOS, which eliminates any bugs left over in earlier versions. It is good practice to keep a complete backup of your entire iPhone stored data, in case you have to carry out a complete restore. Hope the above suggested methods work for you in restoring your iPhone to normal functionality in no time.

Plan Meals on the Go and Never Forget Your Grocery List Again with Launch of ZipList’s New iPhone App

Sterling, VA (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

ZipList, Inc. (ZipList), a leader in online and mobile shopping lists and recipe boxes, now has a newly revamped free iPhone app available on iTunes at bit_iphone. The app automatically syncs with ZipList.com and across more than 40 partner sites, including MarthaStewart.com, Woman’s Day, $5 Dinners and more so users always have an up-to-date grocery list. All lists, recipes and retailers are automatically synced so users can get the information they need for meal planning and grocery shopping instantaneously.

In addition to the ZipList iPhone app, users of the new iPhone 4S can enlist Siri to add items to their shopping list via text messages with a simple voice command such as, “Tell ZipList to add cheese.” Siri can also be used to retrieve shopping lists, remove items and a variety of other ZipList functions. You can learn more about how to use ZipList with Siri at: blog.ziplist

Users can update their recipe boxes and shopping lists with items they find on websites, products and recipes they manually input, recipes from TV shows, and products from online ads, all because ZipList technology is already embedded with thousands of popular food sites, celebrity cooking television shows and consumer packaged good brands.

“ZipList’s new mobile app takes the hassle out of meal planning, allowing users to search for recipes while standing in the middle of a grocery aisle,” said Geoff Allen, CEO and founder of ZipList. “The new personalized recipe search even surfaces customized recipes based on peoples’ favorite chefs and food blogs, the ingredients they regularly purchase, as well as prep and cook time.”

Once recipes are discovered, customers can add the ingredients to their shopping lists, and they are automatically organized by aisle order and shared with others in your household. Designed with an easy in-store experience in mind, people can push their shopping carts and check off items with one hand as they shop.

Additional features include:

  •     Barcode scanning: scan product UPC codes to add items to your list. ZipList recognizes barcodes for millions of items, making it simple to create a grocery list in minutes.
  •     Intuitive recommendations: ZipList will separate out common pantry ingredients from the recipe-to-shopping list conversion, so you don’t automatically add a “pinch of salt” or a “teaspoon of butter” to your shopping list.
  •     Eliminates backtracking through stores: ZipList automatically categorizes items you add to your list, helping to speed shopping while you are in the store.
  •     Everyone gets what they want: Ability to create and update shopping lists as well as share fully synchronized lists with family members.
  •     Universal access: Shared users of your list can use the web, iPhone and Android apps, text messages, email or instant messages to add or delete items, or to retrieve your list.
  •     Saves time: Ability to set priorities for specific items, so you can choose to shop for important items only during quick shopping trips.
  •     Large recipe database: 400,000 recipes and one-click transfer of ingredients to your shopping list, plus a Universal Recipe Box to store all your favorites in one place for easy access. Users have access to a robust product database of over 275,000 items with real-time search for quick item entry.

To date, nearly 600,000 people have used ZipList on ZipList.com, partner websites and mobile apps, adding millions of items to their weekly grocery lists. For more on ZipList, please visit ZipList

iPhone app reviews: Paper Toss

Paper Toss is one of the most popular applications for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The game’s objective is a simple one: simply toss your crumpled up piece of paper into a garbage can at the other end of the room. This is done by swiping one’s finger up, across the touch screen. Simply get as many scraps of paper into the garbage can in a row as you possibly can.

This may sound simple, but the game is actually quite difficult, because there is a fan that generates a wind current that will blow your paper off course. On the screen, a wins speed will be given, and depending on the severity of the wind (with 0 being nonexistent, and anything above 5 being extremely strong), you must adjust your paper’s trajectory. The direction of the wind will also be given.

In order to compensate for the wind, you must swipe the screen at a different angle, and allow the wind to carry your paper into the trash can. For example, a wind current value of 5 will require a very large deviation from the imaginary straight line connecting you and the trash can. Thus, you may have to swipe the screen at 45 degrees toward the wind to result in a successful toss. However, this will vary depending on the difficulty level. There are 3 levels of difficulty that one can choose from, each with a different distance from the shooter to the can. On the hardest level, strong wind currents require a more drastic shift in swipe direction in order to counteract the effects of the wind. Each level has its own high score, so if someone is having a hard time beating one level’s high score, they can try another level.

Paper Toss is an excellent diversionary app. It can become quite addictive, and you might very well find yourself tossing paper when not needing something to pass the time. While many “High-Score” style games easily become boring over time, Paper Toss remains timeless, because it’s a very quick game to play, and a bunch of friends will have tons of fun trying to beat each others scores. Of all the free apps in the app store, paper toss would be an excellent candidate to become a paid app, simply because it is a very fun and enjoyable one, and it would still have as many downloads as it does with a 99 cent charge tacked on.

In short, Paper Toss is a must-have app if you intend on having your iPhone when you need to pass the time, such as on a bus or train. It is a blend of high entertainment value and simplicity, which makes for an extremely enjoyable game.

iPhone 5 Launch May Be at Apple’s WWDC Event June 2012

We know it’s only a matter of time before we get to see what the next generation iPhone will have in store for everybody. Given the supposed disappointment from consumers and critics alike over the features of the Apple iPhone 4S, it would seem that even though over 32 million iPhone 4S were sold last Q4 2011, everyone still wants an iPhone 5. We’ve heard about the iPhone 5 getting ready for production, and it goes to say that if it hasn’t hit the manufacturing floors yet, it’s likely a few months away from anyone seeing an actual finalized product.

9to5mac had it on word from someone at Foxconn, one of Apple’s part suppliers, that a few ‘prototype’ iPhone devices were flying around the factory, which were said to have a 4inch screen on them. Investors were given word a couple weeks ago that the new iPhone 5 would have a quad-core processor within, which lends itself to debugging code found for the iPad 3.

Digitimes is now joing the ranks of sources for the latest iPhone 5 craze, adding that Apple plans on launching the iPhone 5 at the WorldWide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June 2012 based on word from a translated newspaper called the Commercial Times. They report that it will include a unibody aluminum case thinner than previous models, a larger display around 4inches (which jives with the rumor above), and a new ‘Glass-to-Glass’ touch panel which was not explained any further. Things are getting interesting in the Apple news camps lately.
