Research shows that Windows Phone now had a market share of 5.0% in Europe for the 12 weeks leading up to September 2nd, an increase of 31.6% from last year. During that same period, RIM's BlackBerry share fell from 12.2% to 6.4% according to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
Global consumer insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, Dominic Sunnebo, said,Windows is making steady progress in the big European economies and is now challenging BlackBerry for third spot in the European OS league. With the momentum Windows 8 will bring towards the end of 2012, it seems highly likely that it will achieve this before the end of the year.
Several Windows Phone 8 devices are to be released before the end of this year, such as the Samsung ATIV S, Nokia Lumia 920, and HTC's Windows Phone 8X. Microsoft will be hoping these devices will push Windows Phone market share higher, and hopefully past BlackBerry OS to put them at third place in the OS wars behind Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

| Surface Phone Concept |
The latest rumors have Microsoft heading deeper into the hardware space and developing a phone. According to the sources over at the China Times, Microsoft has been working on the “Surface Phone” for several months and plans to release it sometime during the first half of 2013.
The reason? Well, apparently it’s because the relationship between Microsoft and their Windows Phone partners, specifically Nokia and HTC, hasn’t been working out the way they intended it and they aren’t interested in solely banking on others. Of course, this is all rumors and nothing is confirmed, but it’s not too far of a stretch to believe as Microsoft is preparing to release their own Windows 8 “Surface” tablet later this month – a product they successfully managed to keep under wraps until they unveiled it and has somewhat ruffled the feathers of WP partners.
No word on specs of the said “Surface Phone,” but in the meantime we’ll see welcome the Lumia 820, Lumia 920, Samsung ATIV S and HTC’s 8X and 8S.

After releasing iPhone 5 earlier, now rumor said that Apple now focusing on an iPad with smaller size,that is iPad mini. Apple has yet to announce plans to make a tablet with a reduced screen size but the plethora of leaks all lead towards a screen size of 7.85-inches, with it being announced sometime late October.
Fortune Magazine has chimed in today stating that a “major Apple investor” has heard from “multiple sources” that the media can expect to have an invitation in their inboxes on October 10th, potentially followed by a media event on Wednesday, October 17th, then availability hitting retailers Friday, November 2nd.
Although many media has already spread this rumor, Apple still declining to comment on the rumor.

With Windows 8 finally launching in less than four weeks, it's only a matter of time before the web is flooded with prices of upcoming PCs, the first among which this month hail from Sony VAIO's Japan branch. Starting with the Duo 11 slider PC, it's expected to go for about ¥150,000 ($1,930) when it launches in Japan on October 26th (alongside Windows 8), and it'll come with a 1080p display, 1.7GHz Core i5-3317U, 128GB SSD, 4GB RAM and WiMAX. Then we have three flavors of the Tap 20 portable all-in-one which will range from about ¥140,000 ($1,800) up to about ¥180,000 ($2,310) come November 3rd, with the main differences being the CPU (1.8GHz Core i3-3217U, 1.7GHz Core i5-3317U or 1.9GHz Core i7-3517U) and the RAM (4GB or 8GB), but all three will feature the same 20-inch 1,600 x 900 display and 1TB hard drive.
Also announced at the Tokyo event are Japan prices for three more existing VAIO models that now feature a touchscreen: ¥130,000 ($1,670) for the T Series 13 Ultrabook with Core i5-3317U, ¥150,000 ($1,920) for the VAIO E Series 14P laptop with Core i5-3210M, and from ¥210,000 ($2,700) to ¥240,000 ($3,080) for the VAIO L Series 24-inch all-in-one with Core i7-3630QM and 1080p display. The two laptops will be available in Japan from October 26th, whereas the all-in-one will join in from November 3rd.
There's no indication as to whether the US prices will match their Japanese counterparts (the former are usually a lot cheaper), but hey, stay tuned here and you'll know as soon as we do.

Nokia dan Oracle dikabarkan telah menyelesaikan kesepakatan. Nokia akan menyediakan klien Oracle dengan akses ke data peta dan layanan lokasi milik Nokia. The Wall Street Journal telah mengkonfirmasi soal kesepakatan tersebut dengan perwakilan Nokia pada hari Minggu, dan kemungkinan akan diumumkan besok pada konferensi OracleWorld di San Francisco.
Untuk Oracle, kesepakatan ini merupakan cara mudah untuk menyediakan klien dengan data pemetaan yang akurat, sedangkan Nokia mendapatkan keuntungan di sektor bisnis, serta menjadi salah satu jalan untuk mendemonstrasikan teknologi pemetaan mereka bagi pelanggan potensial yang mungkin belum mengetahui layanan pemetaan Nokia.

Comparison between Google Maps vs Apple Maps
Apple Maps, It has made Apple receive many complain from their customers that express their disappointment for the new Maps that Apple attached in new iOS 6 because it is inaccurate and unclear to show you the exact place that you would like to visit. The Apple founder, Steve Wozniak also express his disappointment after trying the maps himself. Apple has made a controversial decision to attached a totally new maps that they made in the new iOS 6 because many people thought that Apple has never made such a totally new thing such as a maps and immediately attach it at iOS 6, Me myself think that Apple must find a quick solution for this problem, and the fastest way to solve this problem is to use back Google Maps as they maps software and at that moment they improve their own maps because it's such a gamble that you preserve the Apple Maps in the iOS 6 with many errors. Although Apple decided to release an update for the maps i think i will not fix the problem perfectly. So, Apple must consider to make a deal again with Google for the Maps software while they focusing to fix and improve their own maps.

Microsoft telah mengungkapkan detail penyebaran internal Windows 8. Menurut postingan di blog Microsoft menjelaskan bahwa Microsoft menginstalasi Windows 8 ke sekitar 30.000 desktop perusahaan, yang mengijinkan sekitar 30.000 karyawan untuk menggunakan sistem operasi tersebut pada mulai pertengahan Juli yang lalu.
Selain itu teknik penyebaran melalui perusahaan ini diharapkan dapat membantu dan melatih staff Microsoft dalam memahami Windows 8 untuk membantu pelanggan nanti saat sistem operasi ini telah diluncurkan. Microsoft juga memanfaatkan sebuah forum yang memungkinkan para karyawan untuk memberikan saran dan kritik terhadap Windows 8.
System Administrator menggunakan IT Easy Installer untuk mempermudah pengalaman upgrade, dengan sistem otomatisasi yang sebanyak mungkin. Program ini memungkinkan tim untuk bekerja jika mesin target cocok untuk Windows 8 dan menawarkan bimbingan kompatibilitas untuk perangkat lunak yang sudah diinstal, serta melakukan migrasi data ke penyimpanan lokal atau jaringan sebagai backup.
Rencananya Microsoft akan meluncurkan Windows 8 pada 26 Oktober 2012 mendatang.
