Marc Andreessen (board member at Hewlett-Parckard) explains why software is eating the world. Both moves are also in line with a trend Ive observed,

#Are we ready for a true Cloud Phone? Off on a cloud with your phone.
As we approach the fall, all the rumors of the Apple empire descend upon us. And this year may be the craziest yet because for the first time since the iphones inception,
Apple did not release new hardware in the summer. And there are still whispers of an ipad revamp as well. ios 5 is coming. icloud is coming.
Now its time for me to indulge That one rumor that caught my eye this week was the talk of Apple looking into releasing an icloud Phone#alongside a new iphone 5 this fall.
If youve heard talk about the iphone 4s##this is the same potential device. Its the cheap iphone#that Techcrunch and others have written about in the past.
Given the smoke out there, it would seem that theres something to this rumor. Even Apples executives have hinted at the possibility.
First reported by Apple N Apps, Trevor Sheridan writes: It has come to our attention that Apple is planning to combine ios 5
and icloud with a piece of hardware internally referred to as the icloud iphone. The icloud iphone will rely heavily on Apples new cloud based offering,
and less on internal storage. He continues: Apple is aiming for a $400 final price for the icloud iphone as compared to the typical $600 iphone price,
which the iphone 5 will cost. The carrier subsidization will bring the cost to consumers down to free with a 2 year contract for the icloud iphone with the same $199 iphone cost for the iphone 5. He cites three independent sources on the information,
and notes that a modified iphone 4 design is likely to be used for such a device.
Reducing the internal storage in the iphone is certainly one way Apple could reduce the overall cost of the device.
Plus Apple has spent the past year and a half perfecting the manufacturing of the iphone 4,
so you can be sure costs in that regard have come down. On the face of it, this makes some sense.
But the larger question remains if the world is ready for a cloud-based smartphone?
Storage would be needed for apps and perhaps a little for offline usage, but overall, maybe Apple could get away with a device with just a few gigabytes or so of onboard storage.
The second question is different. After we reported on Apples work on a cheaper iphone a few people reached out wondering
if the ipod touch could simply morph into this product? In other words, Apple could upgrade the ipod touch with an iphone 4 body,
including the 3g radio. If thats Apples thinking for this product, it may be the perfect opportunity to create a phone that doesnt offer traditional phone service.
As in, it would be data-only. Now, the carriers probably would have a hard time with this concept.
And to consumers, Apple could tout it as more of a lite#phone. It can do everything the iphone can,
except make phone calls. And really, thanks to apps like Skype, Facetime, etc, it can do that too#maybe they just dont play that up as much at first.
Without full $60 or $70-a-month plans for cellular minutes and data, the carriers probably wouldnt subsidize the cost of such a device down to $0.
The concept of a data-only phone has been around for a while. In November of 2009, we reported that Google was looking into possibly offering their own Android devices
which would be data-only. This didnt happen, obviously. Instead, Google not only fully hopped into bed with the carriers for their Nexus devices,
they got really close for maximum snuggling and abandoned their broader Android dreams. Whether or not Apple takes this path this year
its pretty clear that this is the future. Eventually, carriers will exist as data dealers. All information, including voice calls will happen over this pipe.
Cellular phone service will just be an optional add-on if youre in an area with a bad data connection.

#Top 10 brands that will disappear in 2012 Sears is one of the brands expected to disappear within the next 18 months.
The list includes Sears, Sony Pictures, American Apparel, Nokia, Saab, A&w All-American Foods Restaurants, Soap opera Digest, Sony Ericsson, Myspace,
In late May, AT&T (T: 31.17,0. 06,0. 19%)and Deutche Telekom announced that AT&T would buy T-Mobile USA for $39 billion.
The deal would add 34 million customers to the company and create the countrys largest wireless operator.
which has nothing to do with its core businesses of consumer electronics and gaming. Sony bought what was Columbia Tri-star Picture in 1989 for $3. 4 billion.
Sonys gaming system group is under siege by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Nintendo. Its consumer electronics group faces an overwhelming challenge from Apple.
The companys future prospects have been damaged further by the Japan earthquake and the hack of its large Playstation Network.
and shuttering Sears. 6. Sony Ericssonsony Ericsson was formed by the two large consumer electronics companies to market the handset offerings each had handled separately.
Early in its history, it was one of the biggest handset manufacturers along with Nokia (NYSE:
NOK), Samsung, LG, and Motorola. Sales of Sony Ericsson phones were helped originally by the popularity of other Sony portable devices like the Walkman.
Sony Ericssons product development lagged behind those of companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Research in motion (NASDAQ:
Sony Ericsson also relied on the Symbian operating system which was championed by market leader Nokia, but which it has abandoned in favor of Microsofts (NASDAQ:
MSFT) Windows mobile operating because of licence costs and difficulty with programmers. In a period when smartphone sales worldwide are rising in the double digits and sales of the iphone double year over year,
Sony Ericssons unit sales dropped from 97 million in 2008 to 43 million last year.
New competitors like HTC now outsell Sony Ericsson by widening numbers. Sony Ericsson management expects several more quarters of falling sales
and the company has laid off thousands of people. There have been backed rumors by logic, that Sony will take over the operation, rebrand the handsets with its name,
Nokia Nokia is dead. Shareholders are just waiting for an undertaker. The worlds largest handset company has one asset.
Nokia sold 25%of the global total of 428 million units sold in the first quarter.
%The arguments that Nokia will not stay independent are numerous. It has a very modest presence in the rapidly growing smartphone industry
Nokia runs the outdated Symbian operating system and is in the process of changing to Microsoft Window mobile OS
which has a tiny share of the market. Nokia would be an attractive takeover target to a large extent
because the cost to buy#25%of the global handset market would only be $22 billion based on Nokias current market cap.
Obviously, a buyer would need to pay a premium but even $30 billion is within reach of several companies.
Microsoft, which is Nokias primary software partner, could easily buy the company and is mentioned often as a suitor.
The worlds largest software company recently moved further into the telecom industry though its purchase of Voip giant Skype
Two other large firms have many reasons to buy Nokia. Samsung, part of one of the largest conglomerates in Korea, has publicly set a goal to be the No. 1 handset company in the world by 2014.
A buyout of Nokia would launch Samsung into the position as the worlds handset leader.
LG Electronics, the 7th largest company in South korea, with sales of $48 billion, is by most measures the third largest smartphone company.
It has the scale and balance sheet to takeover Nokia. The only question about the Finland-based company is
whether a buyer would maintain the Microsoft relationship or change to the popular Android OS to power Nokia phones.

#â Wave and Payâ##Mobile phone Payment System Launched in the UK Samsungs new phone is the first to use Barclaycard and Oranges Quick Tap payment technology.
Yougov research, commissioned by digital payments provider Intelligent Environments, says 42 per cent of smartphone users want to use their phones as mobile wallets.
Owners of the Apple iphone are keenest, but significant proportions of Blackberry and Google phone users want to take advantage of it too.
Thats not because technology built into mobile phones is the way that everything from cameras to translators, seems to be going.
however, is that for now only one phone, one payment provider and one network operator provides this whizzy technology.
Even though the near-field communications technology is built into a wide and growing number of phones already,
Using an app on the mobile phone, customers can top up their wave and pay account from a connected credit
The app allows a constant, running check on transactions and provides a real, useful and sometimes painful tally of expenditure.
even if rumours that NFC payments are to be built into the forthcoming iphone turn out to be untrue,
Google is working with Mastercard and a host of other manufacturers have similar plans. Indeed, as with almost all significant new technology, the appeal is mainly in the simplicity of NFC.

#iphone Secretly Tracks Everywhere You Go The map shows location data collected from an iphone that had been used in England.
Apples iphone keeps track of where you go, security researchers have discovered. It also saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device
and longitude of the phones recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone
For some phones there could be almost a years worth of data stored, as the recording of data seems to have started with Apples ios 4 update to the phones operating system,
released in June 2010. Apple has made it possible for almost anybody#a jealous spouse, a private detective#with access to your phone or computer to get detailed information about where youve been said
Pete Warden, one of the researchers. Only the iphone records the users location in this way,
say Warden and Alasdair Allan, the data scientists who discovered the file and are presenting their findings at the Where 2. 0 conference in San francisco on Wednesday.
Alasdair has looked for similar tracking code in Google's Android phones and couldnt find any,#
We havent come across any instances of other phone manufacturers doing this.##Simon Davies, director of the pressure group Privacy International, said:
The fact that the file is transferred across to a new iphone or ipad when you migrate is evidence that the data-gathering isnt accidental.#
Although mobile networks already record phones locations, it is only available to the police and other recognised organisations following a court order under the Regulation of Investigatory Power Act.
Standard phones do not record location data. MPS in 2009 criticised the search engine giant Google for its Latitude#system,
which allowed people to enable their mobile to give out details of their location to trusted contacts.
#but Google pointed out that users had to specifically choose to make their data available.
The iphone system by contrast, appears to record the data whether or not the user agrees.
and created a simple downloadable application to let Apple users check for themselves what location data the phone is retaining.
If someone were to steal an iphone and jailbreak#it giving them direct access to the files it contains,
they could extract the location database directly. Alternatively, anyone with direct access to a users computer could run the application
though that still leaves the file on the phone. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the security company Sophos, said:

including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you
