According to the latest research from the NPD group, Apple has got its second wind in smartphone sales. In the same quarter that saw the iPhone 4S reinvent the wheel obey our every vocal whim, the trio of available models soaked up a total of 43 percent of the US smartphone market in Q4 2012, apparently knawing away at Android’s market share of 53 percent held during the rest of 2011

NPD: iPhones recover market share in Q4 2011, but Android draws the first-timer crowds
When a United Postal Service delivery worker shows up at your house, the bulky handheld that he yanks out for you to write your digital signature is known as a “rugged device.” Microsoft’s older Windows Mobile operating system is running on the vast majority of these devices, and it’s questionable how long the software giant can fend off competitors offering alternatives on newer software.

NPD just published its latest plotting of the great American smartphone OS rivalry, and although the report covers annual rather than quarterly trends, it’s perhaps more interesting to hold it up against the previous set of figures we saw — those for Q2 2011 . Back then, Google’s OS had a 52 percent share, but these new figures suggest a marginally better performance of 53 percent between January and October.

It’s been quite awhile since we last saw a GIS unit from Magellan , but the company is once again dipping its toes in the cold, clear waters of GPS data collection. Running Windows Mobile 6.5 (so it’ll play nice with existing GIS data collection programs) and powered by dual AA disposables, the eXplorist Pro 10 has a three-inch 240 x 400 color transreflective display — so on-screen site surveying is as easy in direct sunlight as it is in the dark of night

We were wandering about here at MIX 11 — Microsoft’s annual web developer event — when we stumbled upon these lovely people at this tiny Nokia stand peddling several Symbian phones. Judging from the smiles, we’re pretty sure they’re stoked about the recent Microsoft partnership announcement — just don’t bring up the lack of actual Windows Phone devices. Thomas: “When you squint, it looks just like Windows Mobile 6.” Tim: “Wow, you just never know where Kevin Nealon is going to show up next!” Sean Hollister: “Ballmer told us developers were important, so we came to see what they looked like.” Myriam: “We don’t have any Windows Phone hardware, but we look pretty! Now, about that E7 review …” Vlad: “And here’s our all-new, environmentally friendly roadmap.
