During the second quarter, over 255 million Android-based devices shipped worldwide, representing an 84.7 percent market share, IDC reported on Thursday. Apple's iOS came in second place with 11.7 percent market share and 35.2 million shipments. Combined, the Google and Apple operating systems own 96 percent of the global smartphone market, according to IDC. Windows Phone was only able to nab 2.5 percent of the market in the second quarter on 7.4 million shipments. Blackberry came in fourth place with 0.5 percent share, according to IDC [about 1.5 million shipments].

BlackBerry smartphone shipments rise from previous quarter http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4761670-blackberry-smartphone-shipments-rise-from-previous-quarter/ quote:BlackBerry's smartphone shipments grew 15 per cent in the second quarter from the prior period, recording their first sequential gain in a year as chief executive officer John Chen's turnaround plan takes hold. Who are they shipping them too?

This is the most hosed up thing I've never seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw9LH_Dp2eM http://www.businessinsider.com/blackberry-passport-keyboard-video-2014-8 quote:The Passport comes with a physical keyboard that actually doubles as a touchpad, meaning you can swipe across the keys to interact with the device.

Jonny Quest posted:I've been looking into a Chromebook for awhile but a Passport with that 1440x1440 screen is too drat tempting. If it comes to Verizon I'll definitely be grabbing it. CLAM DOWN posted:...a Chromebook and the Passport are completely different devices and use cases. One is a lightweight laptop used for Chrome and web applications, the other is a phablet. You can't really compare them. Jonny Quest posted:More similar than not for my use case: An 'always on' device that I can use around the house for RSS, browsing, VNC, and SSH. My Q10 is doing it today but the small screen does have its limits. I find it endlessly amusing that I've 'progressed' in my home browsing habits from a laptop, to a Playbook, to the Q10. Convenience and portability won out for me.
