According to a new released research from the Indernational Data Cooperation (IDC) Worldwide  Quarterly Media Tablet and eReader Tracker this month, Apple’s iPad still kept the domiated position in tablet market in the passed third quarter, but rivals from Amazon and Barnes & Noble are expected to light up the fourth quarter.

The data from IDC’s reseach indicates that Apple shipped 11.1 million units in the Q3, up from 9.3m in the second quarter; but the market share is down from Q2’s 63.3%  to 61.5%. And this number shows that the company’s iPad continued to drive worldwide media tablet market in the third quarter.

But the third quarter is not strong for anyindividual Android market. SamSung’s tablet is next, but far less than iPad, 5.6% market share; HP’s TouchPad, which entered and left the market in Q3, listed in the third position; the company shipped 903,354 units and grabbed a 5% share of the worldwide market; After IDC updated its taxonomy to move LCD-based devices such as Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color into the media tablet category, Barnes & Noble shipped 805,458 units to achieve the number four spot with a 4.5% market share. ASUS rounded out the top five with a 4% share.

Though the Android is not strong in the third quarter and market share is down to 32.4% from Q2’s 33.2%, IDC expects Android to make dramatic share gains in the fourth quarter growing to 40.3%. Why IDC’s experts are so optimistic in Android market? They think that Amazon’s Kindle Fire, which was released in the early Q3, will contribute to the increase of Android market share.

“Amazon and Barnes & Noble are shaking up the media tablet market, and their success helps prove that there is an appetite for media tablets beyond Apple’s iPad.” Said Tom Mainelli, research director “That said, I fully expect Apple to have its best-ever quarter in 4Q11, and in 2012 I think we’ll see Apple’s product begin to gain more traction outside of the consumer market, specifically with enterprise and education markets.”

Mainelli suggested that there will be wider changes in 2012 as the iPad begins to enter newer mar: “I think we’ll see Apple’s product begin to gain more traction outside of the consumer market, specifically with enterprise and education markets.”

Jennifer Song, research analyst at IDC, explained: “Apple’s larger portfolio of tablet-specific apps, upcoming iPad versions, and growing physical store presence in key emerging markets like Asia/Pacific will help maintain its global leadership. However, an improving Android OS experience and lower competitor pricing in an environment with worldwide economic concerns should help Android to increase its market share.”

Let’s put aside this research, which tablet are you using? And if you are planning to get one, which will be your choice? iPad or Kindle Fire? Please leave comment to share your opinions.

Just days ago, I wrote a post about the news that Microsoft would revail more details about Windows app store on this Tuesday.

And now the details are introduced to the public on yesterday’s preview event, you could access to this even video to view detail information.

At the same time, the technology giant also promised a better opportunity for develpers to attract them to develop greate apps in the store.

Windows Web Services VP Antoine Leblond said, “We’re going to give you a bigger bite of the apple,”  promising a better return than any other app store (actually Apple’s app store, I think) for developers. “It’s the biggest and most significant developer opportunity ever,” he added.

Microsoft is also planning to localize the Windows Store in all the languages that Windows is localized in, around 100 different languages. Below is a demo of the Chinese store, with an app from Renren that uses various touch gestures.

The software maker will also provide payment options for 230 markets and the top 40 markets will have local pricing. . “We’re going to take a different approach,” said Leblond. Developers can take advantage of in-app purchases and trial apps features but they won’t be forced to. Microsoft will take 30% of app revenue until an app makes $25,000. The software maker will then take just 20% of sales after the $25,000 limit.

This is really a big attraction to most developers, isn’t it? And if you’re a software or games developer, will you give it a try?

News from Winrumors show that, Microsoft is planning to reveal details on its Windows Store plans for Windows 8 in a briefing on Tuesday next week.

The software giant has invited a number of press, analysts and developers to a two-hour preview event in San Francisco on December 6. ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley reports that the event is entitled “Windows Store Preview” and looks set to provide developers with key information about the company’s plans in Windows 8.

Microsoft previously detailed its Windows Store efforts at its Build conference earilier this year in mid-September. The Windows Store is a Metro style application. The application is built on the same WinRT APIs that developers can use themselves across their Windows 8 Metro apps. Windows Store takes advantage of HTML5 and JavaScript to provide end users with a portal for secure, tested applications. All applications include a brief overview, full detail page and reviews. The overview section will indicate the supported platform for the application (x86/64/ARM).

Trying to outdo Apple’s Mac App store, the Windows Store will let users download free trial copies of Metro-style apps to check out for a limited time. So developers won’t have to cook up both paid and “lite” versions of their applications. Beyond that, both free and paid apps would be available. Microsoft will also run security checks and other tests to certify each app.

One of the more interesting aspects of the Store is the ability for websites to advertise their Windows 8 Metro application for download on their own site. Websites with an application will include a button for end users to launch or download the application. The launch surface will push the user straight into the Metro Windows Store experience and offer them the ability to download or trial the application. If the application is already installed then it will simply work as a launch surface for the existing app.

What do you think of Windows 8 app store? You could share your opinion with comments.

Smartphones have become such an important part of our lives that they’ve become more than accessories. In fact, many people sleep with their smartphones, and nobody likes to hear about someone insulting their bedmate.

iPhone is absolutely the most popular smartphone in the world, though Android is undeniably winning the market share battle. So which is better?

Here are some quotes from Business Insider to show what some tech gurus, entrepreneurs and CEOs think of iPhone and Android.

“I think both platforms are great — I use both every single day — but for my primary phone I use a Galaxy Nexus. Why? Because while iOS might be more elegant, easy-to-use, and have a better overall selection of apps, Android does a better job at the things I care about most, like Gmail and Google Voice, plus I can install aftermarket keyboards like SwiftKey which have greatly improved my typing speed. Ultimately each person has their own mix of what’s important to them, and what’s great about the gadget space now is that we have so much choice and we can all find what’s right for us (this is why we started gdgt, actually).”

Alex Godin, tech entrepreneur and founder of Dispatch.io

“Two years ago I switched from the iPhone to Android. After a little while I’m back on a Sprint iPhone 4S. The simplicity and ease of use was just hard to beat. Android tries to do too many things and doesn’t do any of them well. We need both — art galleries and workshops.  Both are creative, but each serves different roles.  And you must support and understand both to succeed in a technology world.”

What do you think? Which is better and which are you using now? Will you change the one you are using to the other? Welcome to share your opinions.
