Let’s start your weekend off right with a morning dose of the best tech news on the net. In today’s US Update we start off your morning with news that OS X Spaces is headed to the iPad. We jump over to an independent study which compared 4G LTE with 4G WiMax, guess who was 10 times faster. We take a look at the latest smartphone market share data and more on today’s US Update.
First up OS X Spaces hits the iPad. A patent filing dubbed “Device, method, and graphic user interface for manipulating workspace views”, describes methods of solving cumbersome and inefficient moving of one or more windows between workspaces. The description and the image that accompanies the patent filing are right on the money — friends, we could be looking at Spaces for the iPad very soon.
A fresh new video of the HTC Flyer has been released by HTC. Focused on what makes the Flyer unlike any other tablet, the video does a good job of showing off the device’s highlights, but will Android Gingerbread be enough to compete? A new study for 4G LTE speed tests proves that not all 4G is created equal. In fact, Verizon’s 4G LTE network was 10 times faster than Sprint’s 4G WiMax network — ready for the results?
In the latest U.S. smartphone market share report Apple and Google are on the rise. Unfortunately RIM and Motorola are on the decline, but let’s take a look at the big picture. Last on the agenda for today is an update to the Samsung laptop keylogging saga. Samsung has just been awarded a clean bill of health — wonder what software was to blame?
That wraps up your week in tech news. As always I’m Nick Marshall and I’ll see you again on Monday.
