sivertime — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 15:10:13 +0000

According to the latest market share figures released, the Apple Watch hits the top of connected watches. Competition is undermined.
Despite the release of recent competitors such as the Huawei Watch 2, the Apple Watch Nike + and its squared apple sisters have little to worry about. CEO Tim Cook was right to welcome the good sales of the connected watch made in Cupertino. When the sales figures were released in March, Steve Jobs’ successor confirmed that the number of Apple Watch sales had almost doubled in one year. His statements gain even more weight after Strategy Analytics experts through The Indian Express issued a verdict on the market shares of the various smartwatches currently in circulation.
The Apple Watch is widely ahead of the first quarter of 2017 with 53% market share. It is ahead of Samsung which ranks second with its Gear S3 among others (12.8% market share). The South Korean firm also climbed the ranking as it was previously overtaken by the US company FitBit, now third with 12.2% market share. The Apple Watch, which has won new wristwatches since the WWDC, is a stylish and sporting company . The competition is far behind, and the Cupertino firm can see a bright future for its smartwatch.

The Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 are talking about them in the Indian subcontinent with a possible fallout for us.

Good news for the Canadian firm which has experienced a difficult period in recent years with the rise of Apple and Samsung. The turning point was taken and now the projects are multiplying. Beyond the smartphone market reinvested, BlackBerry wants to go further in high-tech by tackling other products. The CEO of Waterloo firm John Chen sees big and would be willing to offer new connected devices.
The first of these would be a tablet. BlackBerry had released one in the past in 2011, the RIM BlackBerry Playbook which had obtained 4 stars out of 5 among our colleagues of Les Numériques .

Disney soon to be virtual reality leader? That’s what his big boss, Bob Iger, seems to want. After getting his hands on Lucas Films, Marvel Studios and making Disneyland the biggest amusement parks in the world, the man wants to continue his progression. The latter says that his company Disney is currently working on the design of a virtual reality helmet but that this technology would surely not be implanted in the attractions. Why is that ? Because the visitor must take full advantage of the real sensations offered to him and not cut himself off from the world by shutting himself up in virtual reality (which will be the sex of tomorrow according to the somewhat frightening prediction of the founder of Holo Girl VR ).
Bob Iger, on the other hand, sees an augmented reality that could be coupled with virtual reality. To illustrate his example, the CEO imagines for example the users to face the terrible Dark Vader, saber-laser in hand, or even an army of Stormtroopers . A possibility that should give water to the mouths of fans of the famous intergalactic franchise. The Disney virtual reality headset is currently only at the prototype stage as many projects are concerned with RV (like this start-up that offers to watch your soccer games with this technology ): So be patient before you can enjoy it! A VR Disney helmet, it makes you want?
