Meet href="http://tv.adobe.com/show/adobe-touch-apps">Adobe Touch Apps, a suite of six new apps from the image-editing powerhouse, designed to work with tablets — which means the iPad, but not straight away. It’s an astonishing variety of apps, so here’s the rundown:
Analyst Eightball: iPhone 5 /iPhone 4S Sales To “Shatter” Single Day Records
We’re now just a hair’s breadth away from Apple’s announcement of the next iPhone — be it iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. In just a shade over 24 hours, Tim Cook will take the stage at the Apple Campus in Cupertino and announce something…and in no time at all, we’ll crash Apple’s servers in order to buy it. Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White thinks that the demand here is so high that href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-5-event-analysis-2011-10">it’s going to be absolutely huge. With 18 months of buildup and excitement instead of the 12 of previous launches, he thinks “pent up demand” will shatter the 1.7 million sales record of previous iPhones.
Here’s his full statement:
We expect the iPhone 5 to get a makeover with a sleek, aluminum unibody enclosure that more closely resembles the MacBook Air than the iPhone 4, which will not only prove more aesthetically pleasing but also stronger, lighter and avoid the back-side “glass breaks” of last year. With this new enclosure, we believe this will provide Apple with the opportunity to expand the display size by at least one half of an inch to 4 inches and hopefully bigger. Apple will clearly need to upgrade the processor speed to at least a Dual Core 1.2GHz to match the Samsung Galaxy S II, while upgrading to a 8 mega pixel 1080p camera that is now also on the Galaxy S II.
Usually I don’t put much store in analyst claims, but I think this one’s a no-brainer. It’s going to be absolutely impossible to get one of these at launch.
iOS Hits Highest Marketshare Yet

We’ve all heard the stories about Android gobbling up iOS’s marketshare like nobody’s business, but a href="http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=9&qpcustomb=1">new report from Netmarketshare paints a very different picture. What’s interesting is that this is both iPhone and iPad, covering all sorts of mobile data for cellphones and tablets. The tablet sphere is still one where the iPad is controlling far more marketshare than smartphones, so this doubtless helps bump the numbers a little.
From November 2010 to September of 2011, iOS moved up from 46.06% to 54.65%, Android climbed from 10.27% to 16.26% — that’s actually a bigger improvement for iOS than it is for Android. The big loser on this research is Java, with Symbian dropping notably and Blackberry slightly.
