CNet Reviews Cellphone Radiation Levels
June 13, 2008 on 10:45 am | In Uncategorized | No CommentsCNet compiled a list of cellphone radiation levels for US cellphones. This information is available to the public through the FCC website. CNet’s list explains what the “specific absorption rate (SAR)” level means and the maximum level allowed by the FCC. Looks like I’ll be wearing my tin foil hat when using my BlackBerry curve. I wonder what effect it has when it is in your pocket? Thank goodness for belt clips.

BlackBerry dominates the smartphone market for Q1
June 3, 2008 on 6:59 pm | In Uncategorized | No CommentsHere is a breakdown of the market share of smart phone sales in the first quarter of 2008 and some thoughts behind the numbers.
RIM (BlackBerry) - 44.5% up from 35.1% in Q4- Staying strong due to the anticipated release of the GSM 3G version of their device. There have been a lot more advertisements on television, something that has not been present in the past. There was also an announcement of the BlackBerry Partners Fund. A joint venture between RIM and a few venture capitalists to promote the development of third party applications.
Apple - 19.2% down from 26.7% in Q4- Also anticipating the release of a GSM 3G version of the iPhone. Unlike BlackBerry, Apple has only one device model in the marketplace, making would be purchasers inclined to wait for the newer version. Apple has inked agreements with many foreign carriers to sell the iPhone. This number will probably go up in the next few quarters. It is still not bad for a company that entered the market less than one year ago.
Palm - 13.4% up from 7.9% in Q4 - Finally some good news for palm. The Centro took off when it was released. The device is more mainstream than the 650 and 680, making it more desirable for the younger demographic. The price is positioned significantly lower than the iPhone and BlackBerry devices.
Samsung - 8.6% up from 5.1% in Q4 - The GSM BlackJack II and the CDMA version, the Ace offered by sprint, also gave consumers a low cost option when choosing a smart phone.
HTC - 4.1% down from 7.9% in Q4 - Not much being released by HTC either and their phones are generally more expensive than other options.
Motorola - 2.6% down from 7.5% in Q4 - Motorola is really struggling right now. Not much released except for the Q9, an update from the original CDMA Q. When it comes to GSM, consumers have way too many other options compared to the Q. Not to mention Motorola has been dealing with the turmoil of selling off its mobile division.
