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.

By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Well, the iPad Mini is out and as I wrote yesterday, secrecy is no longer an option. There were close to no surprises at all when it came to the announcement. But that is ok, although I am sure Apple doesn’t love it. As opposed to previous Apple announcements, I did not tune in to the…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) One of the most blatant characteristics of the way people perceive the tech industry is that it is a zero-sum game. “This one’s dead”, “That one killed it”. “This is akiller” etc etc. Except in reality, that is not the case. Many different platforms and ecosystems can exist in peace. Just look at iOS and Android….
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) By now, it is pretty clear that Android fragmentation is a serious problem. If you don’t know what I am referring to, first of all, you need to do more tech blog reading. Android fragmentation is the reality of the Android ecosystem in which there are still millions of devices running Android Froyo 2.2, which is…

By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Over the years, we have worked with some great mobile publishers, one of which is Herocraft. We thought our readers would benefit from the great insight and experience of the company’s CEO Pavel Prokonich. Enjoy! 1: Please tell me a little bit about yourself and your background, both personal and professional. I’m Russian, 31 years old, married,…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Let’s just get this out of the way. We are big fans of Nokia here at inneractive. We are long-time partners of the company and while many companies in the mobile space are busy with imitating and litigating, Nokia is innovating. The Lumia line from the low-end devices all the way up to the fantastic 920…
