* Google is further strengthening it's Enterprise play versus Microsoft, with 4 years of official support for Chrome OS[http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/eol.html], increased business development activities around Chromebooks and Chromeboxes[http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/538469/chrome_replaces_windows_woolworths_/], increased measures for safety of Chrome extensions[https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/extensions-deployment-faq], improvements to V8 Javascript engine including compiling to native in the background for smoother user experience[http://blog.chromium.org/2014/02/compiling-in-background-for-smoother.html], and a partnership with VMWare to bring Windows apps to Chromebooks.[http://googleenterprise.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/vmware-to-bring-traditional-windows_12.html]

* Windows 8.1 Update 1 adds numerous features that make the modern side of the operating system easier to use without a touch screen[http://www.gizmag.com/windows-81-update1/30861/] as details of Windows 8 UX design decisions emerge from unofficial channels [http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1xvbsm/windows_8_sells_100_million_fewer_copies_than/cff3y35] and Microsoft campaigns hard to persuade Windows XP users to migrate to Windows 8.1 before XP's end of life support[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx] while also claiming sales of 200 million Windows 8 licenses[http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9246417/Microsoft_claims_200M_Windows_8_licenses_sold_but_how_many_are_in_use_] of which between 165 million and 184 million are used to access the Web per ComputerWorld research.

=== Mobile ===

* More rumors with details on the agreements between Google and OEMs with regards to the suite of Google proprietary apps for Android have surfaced. The [http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/02/10/rumor-google-to-begin-forcing-oems-to-certify-android-devices-with-a-recent-os-version-if-they-want-google-apps/ article] states "Google will be forcing manufacturers to run a specified API level (and the corresponding OS version) or above if they want their hardware to ship with Google Mobile Services, aka Google Apps. The window to certify any device running Android 4.1 or below with Google Mobile Services expired at the beginning of this month. That means manufacturers will no longer be able to submit devices for GMS approval to Google unless they run Android 4.2 or above."

** Sales of smartphones by operating system in 2013: Android with 767 million (78%), iOS with 153 million (16%), Windows Phone with 33 million (3%) out of a total of 990 million.

* A similar set of 2013 statistics, but focused on the top smartphone vendors is [http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS24645514 here]. The top 3 are Samsung, Apple and Huawei, followed by LG and Lenovo.

* Opera [http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/18/opera-opens-pre-registration-for-its-data-savings-android-app/ opened] pre - registrations to Max, an app which compresses all of the data sent by an Android phone. The company has taken the data compression feature from its browser and has extended it to the entire device.

* Everybody is preparing for Mobile World Congress, which takes place next week in Barcelona and its the largest mobile event of the year.

* More details on KitKat, the next Android version, have been leaked, on a device that has been called by the media the Nexus 5. It [http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/androids-kitkat-photographed-we-break-down-all-the-changes/ features] even deeper integration with Google services, that are taking over more of the generic apps and overall experience. The Gallery seems to have been replaced by Google Photos and Google Search can now be accessed as a home screen page in addition to the upward swipe.

* Android version distribution [http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html numbers] for October put Jelly Bean at almost half of all devices (48.6%), split between version 4.1 with 36.5%, version 4.2 with 10.6% and version 4.3 with 1.5%. Ice Cream Sandwich is now on 20.6% of Androids and Gingerbread still on 28.5% of them.

* MoboTap, the developer of the Dolphin browser [http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/09/26/dolphin-browser-goes-local-partnering-with-baidu-yandex-yahoo-japan-and-duckduckgo/ partnered] with local search engines in China, Japan and Russia and the US (DuckDuckGo) to have them as the default for its localized versions in the respective markets.

* There are renewed [http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/10/15/amazon-reportedly-teams-htc-develop-three-smartphone-devices/ rumors] that Amazon is planning to enter the smartphone market, with 3 devices from HTC. This would pose challenges for both of the companies, as HTC [http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/report-amazon-and-htc-team-up-to-build-smartphones-risk-ire-of-google/ risks] being pushed out of the OHA consortium that produces Android, were it to ship devices that do not support the Google Play Store. For Amazon it would be harder to drive as much content sales on the smaller screen as they on tablets, due to the constraints of the environment, both physical and in terms of connectivity.

* Apple confirmed that it will hold an [http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/15/apple-ipad-mac-event-oct-22/ event] on the 22 of October. Expected to be announced are a new version of the iPad and updates to its MacBook Pro line.

* Windows Phone was [http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/10/14/windows-phone-8-update-3-adds-support-1080p-displays-quad-core-processors-new-driving-mode/ updated] to add support for quad-core processor, larger displays and a set of mobile accessibility apps. The update will be deployed to handsets over the next several months. In the same time, Microsoft launched a new developer [http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/10/14/microsoft-launches-windows-phone-preview-developers-offers-prerelease-builds-os-updates-help-test-apps/ program] called Windows Phone Preview for Developers, which will provide access to prerelease builds of the OP for developer phones. This provides app creators more time to port their content to the newest platform version and have it ready when it is mass deployed. Windows Phone is a minor platform, having shipped 3.3% (7.4 million) of global smartphone sales in Q2 of 2013, [http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/18149_Gartner_estimates_741_million_.php according] to Gartner.

* Flexible display and battery technologies are [http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/bending-it-the-right-way-how-lg-and-samsung-curved-their-phones-differently/ starting] to become commercially available, with Samsung and LG both having released smartphones that can bend. Released in South Korea, the Samsung Round and the LG Flex curve each on a different axis. The Round model is a 5.7 inch device that bends latitudinally and is available from SK Telecom for $1014, and the Flex has a 6 inch display that can curve longitudinally.

* The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has released its annual [http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2013/41.aspx#.Ul7EpY2Fr19 report] on worldwide Internet usage. Numbers include 6.8 billion total mobile connections, 2.7 billion people connected to the Internet and 2.1 billion mobile broadband connections by the end of 2013. By the same time 40% of the world will be online, but 1.1 billion households or 4.4 billion people remain unconnected. Leading countries in terms of development of telecommunications services are South Korea, followed by Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Finland and Norway.

* First Run & Retention Study: Our test cohort has been collected and the next step is tracking their retention rates via a "funnel cake" test. This test will help us understand how the content shown on the First Run page affects retention rates. [Jen Bertsch, Web Production]

* Search Engine Optimization: The first large batch of improvements is now live. Our first measurement to gauge how this is working is next Tuesday, Oct 22nd. The goal of these changes is to increase the amount of organic search traffic to our site (and thus, downloads) [Laura, Web Production]

* Australis Marketing Launch: The launch strategy has been finalized across engagement and we're now in "wave" planning mode (a "wave" is a name for a large cross-engagement marketing campaign). The current projected launch date for Australis is with Firefox 27 on January 21. [Laura]

* Consumer Value Proposition Discovery: We're in the final stages of creating the quantitative survey. This has taken longer than expected, as we're in round 4 of revisions, and our partners have been on holiday. We're aiming to finalize the survey by end of week. [Laura]

* Google Wallet was [http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/09/google-releases-a-new-version-of-google-wallet-dumps-nfc-requirement/ updated] to be less dependent on NFC and added features that non-NFC equipped phones can use, such as sending money to an email address and storing loyalty cards. This move makes the app available across all Android devices and opens up the door for cross - platform compatibility. This is likely to be a concern for operators, who have been opposing Google Wallet in favour of their own, yet - to - be - released, ISIS solution. Google recently acquired [http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/16/4736860/bump-acquired-by-google Bump], a company that produces a proprietary technology that serves a similar function as NFC, but also sends data to the cloud in the process.

* Jolla's Sailfish mobile OS is now [http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/16/jolla-android-compatibility/ compatible] with Android apps and is said to be able to run on common hardware produced for Android, particularly phones and tablets. Jolla is preparing to launch a second pre - sales campaign ahead of its first release in Q4. The first one is said to have sold in the tens of thousands of devices, but up to 50,000 units. This is important because it makes it easier for Chinese OEMs to use Sailfish on devices as they can use hardware configurations that they have ordered / are producing for Android phones.

* Intel has launched a new tablet [http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/11/4718650/intel-launches-bay-trail-tablet-processors-heres-what-you-need-to-know chipset], called Bay Trail / Atom Z3000 Series. The new product is declared to deliver up to 2x the CPU performance and twice the GPU performance of previous Atom chips and provide 10 hours of battery life and 3 weeks of standby without the need for a fan. The chipset is meant to run both Windows 8 and Android. Important because it's a new step in Intel's progress to become a significant chipset provider for the mobile market. Going after the tablet segment is a more natural, thus potentially more successful, technological step for the company that is dominating the desktop space.

This makes mobile browsing the most common way daily mobile service users use their phone, followed by social networks (32%) and watching video (20%).
