Market Insights from the Product Marketing Strategy Team
Desktop / Platform
- Google's Android APIs now include improved Maps and "Photo Sphere" functionality, allowing Android mobile app developers to build more interesting and compelling applications.
- The Chromium team released Telemetry, a "python-based framework for writing web platform performance tests" that makes use of the remote debugging protocol. Scripts have been written with it to test multiple devices, recording a replay script, and adds some benchmarking tests.
- Google's Executive Chairman and Director of Ideas have authored a new book that discusses the world's digital future. The book will tackle not only changing technology like smartphones and computers, but also government, technology’s effect on terrorism, privacy, business and more. “This is a book about the importance of a guiding human hand in the new digital age."
Microsoft
- Seeking to turn a new chapter with Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft released a tongue-in-cheek web advertisement making fun of both Internet Explorer's reputation as well as the "haters" that comment on it.
- Because of Windows XP's large install base, some security researchers are saying that Microsoft has no choice but to continue to support it after April 2014.
RIM
- RIM updated their WebWorks API for the upcoming BlackBerry 10 release. This set of HTML5 APIs offers a significant number of device APIs for smartphones and some tooling changes to make it easier to develop and ship applications.
Security
- Researchers have published an academic paper describing how attackers could use a browser-based exploit that could be used to make large, online attacks cheaply.
