By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) You might recall Samsung stealing the show at CES 2012 with its Smart Window. No? OK, watch this. Did that ever go into production? I don’t know and more importantly, I don’t care. Why? Because Samsung is not like other companies. It develops products by the thousands and pushes the envelope of innovation. Some of those…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) We are always pleased when one of our successful mobile developers uses our blog to share insights on app monetization. Health Pack, a leading Canadian based mobile game development company focusing on iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices has recently integrated our Windows Phone SDK. The results have been fantastic. Read more about Health Pack below…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) This would never have happened if Jobs was around. Kidding, but what kind of Apple-bashing post would this be without that sentence? Anyway, back to our topic. Every time a new Apple ad shows up among my new YouTube videos, my expectations are subconsciously raised. What can I say? Apple knows how to make ads, it…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) We have all seen our share of Apple parodies in our day, and they almost always deliver the goods. This one, however, brings the “Apple parody space” (yes, they have their own space now.) to a whole new level. Truth be told, Apple ads have come to be known for their simple and global message…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) We are at the end of 2012, you would think that by now, people would know that as far as the tech space is concerned, it is almost never “Too late”. As I have said so many times before, when Google entered search, they were “too late” with Yahoo dominating the space. Google was also “too…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) If I had to place a bet today and I wanted to make sure it was a safe bet, I would wager on the response I get when showing someone the Galaxy Note 2. Every time, it’s the same thing. “Na, too big. How do you carry that thing around?” At that point, I show the…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) You can say a lot about Microsoft and its new Windows 8 operating system, but one thing you cannot say about the new platform, its marketing, and the recent news surrounding its launch, is that it’s boring. Never a dull moment whether it’s the sudden departure of the president of the Windows department, the product itself…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) We are living in historic times in which leaders are chosen, and those leaders then do everything in their power to remain ahead. No, I am not talking about Obama winning the elections, I am referring to Microsoft’s new platform, Windows 8. Microsoft has led the PC space (PC, as in Personal Computers, not PC/Mac) since,…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Let’s not beat around the bush here, you see Nokia in the title of an article and all you can think is “Nokia? Did you hear about their earnings last quarter??” To that, I say, some perspective please. Net sales $9.5 billion, 83 million phones sold, 6.5 million smartphones sold, and that’s right before a huge…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) So much has been said about the iPad Mini and its price point. Some, like me, are pretty disturbed by it, others defend it. Here is the bottom line. It has a lower resolution display than its closest competitor, the Nexus 7. “Well, at least its faster, right?” Wrong. Slower processor too. “But Android is such…
