Eggs Thrown at Beijing Apple Store on Friday

On Friday, eggs were thrown at an Apple store in Beijing after customers were told Apple was cancelling iPhone 4S sales.


Customers had been waiting countless hours for the iPhone 4S to come out last Friday but were greeted with nothing. Customers were told Apple was cancelling iPhone 4S sales in Beijing. One customer decided to throw eggs at the store when they were told this bad news. Police arrived shortly after to clear out the disappointed customers.


After this incident occurred Apple said it will be suspending iPhone 4S sales at its five stores in Beijing. 


What most customers didn't know is that the iPhone 4S has been sold in other outlets in China. Nicole Peng, a research director with analyst firm Canalys said "They can get the device from other outlets, rather than go to the main Apple store. What surprised me was many people didn't get the message."


All five Apple stores in Beijing were packed with many people waiting for the iPhone 4S to come out while they could have gone to other outlets. This would reduce these huge line-ups and disappointments.

Android and iOS Device Activation's Soared on Holiday Weekend

Android and iOS device activation's have sky rocketed on the holiday weekend.

The activations jumped to 142% on Christmas day compared to last year.

Google has claimed to have sold 3.7 million new Android smartphones and tablets on Christmas day. Apple however didn't release any activation numbers.

Android and iOS combined sold 6.8 million smartphones and tablets on the holiday weekend. This surpassed last year's sales by 142%.

Android sales this month have been approximately 700 000 each day. Last year only 300 000 devices were sold each day.

Sales are expected to increase in the future as smartphones and tablets are becoming more popular each year.

Apple's Mac App Store Reaches 100 Million App Downloads

Apple's Mac App Store has reached 100 million app downloads since the app store opened 11 months ago.

The Mac App Store opened in January and since then it has reached 100 million app downloads. The Mac App Store is an online store to purchase apps for Macs which are running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher.

Apple hasn't announced how many apps are available in its Mac App Store. It has however announced the iOS App Store's app count no problem which has over 500 000 apps available. Apple has only claimed the Mac App Store has "thousands" of apps available to you.

The Mac Apps Store has interested competitors to follow suit. Microsoft plans to create its own app store called Windows Store in 2012. The Window Store will offer apps to Windows 8 users when it is released to the public next year.

PC app stores are the future of computing. You will probably eventually see app stores on most devices.

Amazon Sued by Apple Over Amazon's Appstore for Android

Amazon has been sued by Apple over Amazon's Appstore for Android.

Apple is suing Amazon because they believe they own the words "App Store." Apple doesn't want anyone else using those words when selling apps online.

Apple filed a lawsuit in March to stop Amazon from calling there store "Amazon Appstore for Android." The attempt was a failure.

Apple now tries again and also wants any profits made by Amazon's Appstore for Android.

Apple probably won't get this. It appears that way to me because they have tried before and are still trying today.

Amazon Increases Kindle Fire Orders

Amazon has increased the order of it's Kindle Fire. This has been the second time they've had to do this.

The original order was 3.5 million units but now it has been raised to four million.

The Kindle Fire comes out next week in the US. Mixed reports claim the Kindle Fire will take a chunk of Apple's iPad sales while others say it won't.

The Kindle Fire looks to be a big hit. But will it really take a chunk out of Apple's iPad sales?

Apple Ships Less Smartphones than Samsung

Apple has lost it, Samsung has sold more smartphones.

Out of the 118 million smartphones sold in the third quarter, 20 percent were Samsung, 14.5 percent were Apple, and the rest were many others.

Apple has finally fallen below the top. They are loosing their strength in the market and it continues every day. Will Apple be able to hold out for any longer?

Bill Gates has Helped Steve Jobs with the Mac

Now you may assume Bill Gates would instead insult Steve Jobs like Jobs did in the past. But no, Gates never said anything negative towards Jobs. Gates just said he helped create the Mac.

In a recent interview on ABC Gates simply explained this.

"Well, Steve and I worked together, creating the Mac. We (Microsoft) had more people on it, did the key software for it."


"So, over the course of the 30 years we worked together, you know, he said a lot of very nice things about me and he said a lot of tough things. I mean, he faced several times at Apple the fact that their products were so premium priced they literally might not stay in the marketplace. So, the fact that we were succeeding with high-volume products, including a range of prices, because of the way we worked with multiple companies, its tough.

"At various times, he felt beleaguered. He felt like he was the good guy and we were the bad guys. You know, very understandable. I respect Steve, we got to work together. We spurred each other on, even as competitors. None of that bothers me at all."

In this interview Gates did not insult or criticize Jobs. He was mannered and got his point across.

Now Gates did in fact help Apple. Apple did go under years back and Microsoft invested in Apple when Apple was going under.

So Microsoft has helped Apple greatly in the long run. Microsoft may have to do it again though. Apple isn't looking the best in sales recently and may not bounce back.

Samsung Sells More Smartphones then Apple

Samsung has sold more Smartphones then Apple. Apple sold only 17.1 million smartphones compared to Samsung which sold 27.8 million.

Apple is taking a beating in the market recently. Their iPad first, and now their iPhone. Will Apple even be able to stay in the market for much longer?

Apple has started the market but everyone else in continuing it. It seems their only role was to get it moving.

Apple's iPad Crumbles to 67 Percent Dominance

The iPad has lost it's dominance recently. Originally having 96 percent dominance has gone to a measly 67 percent. Android tablets rose to 27 percent from this drop.

On top of this Amazon's tablet will be coming out November 15th which will further crush Apple's control in the tablet market.

Apple started the tablet market but they will not continue it. Other companies are creating better tablets compared to the iPad.

I hope Apple realizes their future and makes the most out of it while they have the advantage.

Steve Jobs Dies - A Tragedy to Apple

Steve Jobs died today after fighting pancreatic cancer. Steve will be remembered as a great man who built Apple to success.

Now we wonder how Apple will do without him. Steve did bring Apple to what it is today. But will everyone else be able to keep it there or make it better. We will have to see.
