#Smartphone understands hand gestures Professor Otmar Hilliges and his staff at ETH Zurich have developed a new app enabling users to operate their smartphone with gestures.

This development expands the range of potential interactions with such devices. It does seem slightly odd at first:

they are for controlling your smartphone. By mimicking the firing of a pistol for example a user can switch to another browser tab change the map's view from satellite to standard

Intelligent programming uses computer memorythe program uses the smartphone's built-in camera to register its environment.

and is thus ideal for smartphones. He believes the application is the first of its kind that can run on a smartphone.

The app's minimal processing footprint means it could also run on smart watches or in augmented-reality glasses.

He is convinced that this new way of operating smartphones greatly increases the range of interactivity.

so that users can operate their smartphone effortlessly. But will smartphone users want to adapt to this new style of interaction?

Otmar Hilliges is confident they will. Gesture control will not replace touchscreen control but supplement it.

#Why (and how) retailers should embrace'showrooming'More evidence emerged this week suggesting the power of smartphones to reshape how retailers stock,

New research from Deloitte suggests that more than 5 percent of store sales during 2012 will be influenced by smartphones.

and our research indicates that smartphone shoppers are 14 percent more likely to convert and make a purchase in the store than non-smartphone users.

This means that mobile is an important tool for retailers to incrementally drive traditional in store sales,

Smartphone Users Are More Frequent Shoppers Deloitte's research suggests that smartphone users aren't only becoming more common,

48 percent of smartphone users said what they saw on a mobile application affected an in store purchase decision.

The other thing to consider is that smartphones aren't just influential in store. More than half of the smartphone users surveyed by Deloitte said they started doing research on the way to the store.

I'm hoping they weren't driving while they were doing that, but that's a whole other story.)

or targeted smartphone-based promotions leave the door open for competitors to reach a customer who is standing in the retailer's store and at the point of purchase.

301m Smartphones Sold In Q3 As Xiaomi Muscles Into The Top 5 At Samsung s Expense Smartphones now account for 66%of all mobile phones worldwide

the two-horse race between the leading smartphone vendors Samsung and Apple looks like it may finally be breaking up a bit,

A total of 301 million smartphones sold up 20%on a year ago. Within that, Apple and Samsung combined smartphone share totalled 37%,down 7 percentage points from the same period a year ago.

Mobile phone sales overall were 456 million completely flat on Q3 2013. Within the smartphone space, China Xiaomi made its way into the top five for the first time with a sharp rise over a year ago,

while the world biggest OEM, Samsung, declined. Apple saw its share increase up to 38 million,

or 12.7%of the market on strong iphone 6 sales, a trend other analysts have been tracking as well,

The Korean handset giant sold 73 million smartphones in Q3, giving it a 24.4%share of the market,

Xiaomi sales of 16 million smartphones for a 5. 2%share of the market is up nearly four percentage points over a year ago (it only sold 3. 6 million units in Q3 2013.

In short, it because sales in mature markets (where Samsung traditionally has been strong) are saturated now with smartphones,

Emerging markets, on the other hand, are seeing very sharp sales rises some of the highest ever in smartphone history

with sales of smartphones growing almost 50%year-over-year, the analysts write. This is also another reason why Chinese vendors,

In China, one of the most important markets for Samsung, its smartphone sales declined 28.6%.

Gartner director Roberta Cozza notes. he smartphone market is more than ever in flux as more players step up their game in this space.

As a point of contrast, Western European smartphone sales declined 5. 2%the third consecutive decline this year.

Among mature markets, the U s. saw the highest growth, seeing an 18.9%increase ostered by the launch of the iphones 6 and 6 Plus.

But put another way, neither of these two, big mature markets are keeping up with overall sales growth of smartphones

although there will be other key moves coming from Chinese handset makers. ver the holidays we expect record sales of the iphone 6 and iphone 6 Plus,

The big picture for feature phones is not unlike that of Microsoft legacy smartphone maker Blackberry:

Interestingly, Gartner doesn peg this drop to the ineluctable charm of smartphones, but rather says it because of the narrowing price difference between them and basic devices.

Smartphones are already 66%of the world total mobile market and by 2018 Gartner predicts that proportion will be 90

#Apple's Activation Lock Leads To Big Drops In Smartphone Theft Worldwide The temptation of a smartphone for a thief is dropping,

The aim is to make smartphone theft ultimately as futile as stealing a credit card, whereby a user ancellingtheir hardware renders it ultimately useless.

Smartphone theft is often theft of opportunity meaning a thief weighs reward vs. risk, including factors like how difficult it is to recoup an investment on something theye taken.

Activation Lock doesn automatically render smartphones using it worthless to thieves, but it skews the value proposition considerably,
