However, Apples rate of growth appears to have slowed. From October 2009 to January 2010, the iPhones share only increased by 0.3 percentage points; from September 2009 to December 2009, comparatively, it had increased by 1.2 points. Dont let the slowing in growth fool you, though: Apple still holds a very healthy 25.1 percent market share behind RIMs pack-leading 41.3 percent.
Meanwhile, Googles Android platform is the big mover and shaker, having jumped from a 2.8 percent share in October 2009 to a…

Online marketplace eBay has learned a costly lesson over the past few years: stick to what you’re good at. Having failed to make its acquisition of Skype work, it also sold recommendation engine Stumbleupon back to its creators last year, just two years after buying it.

SugarSync app gets an update, now at version 1.54
SugarSync is one of the favorite apps on my iPhone, partly because it acts as a backup for the files on my iMac and partly because it allows me to access those files (from my iPhone) while on the go.
