BREAKING...New ARM tools help Android Developers achieve 4x better performance than currently enjoy ARM’s New DS-5 Tools Will Allow Android Developers to Achieve Even Better Application Performance by Quentyn Kennemer on November 29th, 2011 at 9:47 am ARM is introducing a new tool for Android developers called the ARM Development Studio 5 community edition. It allows applications written in C and C++ to be optimized for ARM hardware (pretty much every chipset inside every Android device) even more than the Native Development Kit provided by Google allows. With this, developers can achieve up to 4 times better performance than they currently enjoy. While the NDK has proven to be good enough and has helped developers bring over many great applications, this tool can only help developers and users alike. Jump to the link ahead for the full press details. [ ARM]

BREAKING...Nielsen: Android extends smartphone platform lead through October; Apple's iPhone4Sux a NO SHOW... LMFAO... too funny... Nielsen: Android extends smartphone platform lead By: Zach Epstein \| Nov 29th, 2011 at 02:00PM 7 Comments Filed Under: Mobile Android further cemented its position as the most widely used smartphone operating system in the United States over the past three months according to new data just released by Nielsen. During the three-month period from August through October, Android’s market share ticked up to 44.2% from 43% between July and September. Apple’s iOS platform grew marginally from 28% to 28.6% and RIM’s BlackBerry OS shed three points to fall to 17%. Microsoft’s share is still barely a blip on the radar. Apple’s 28.6% kept it at the top of the vendor list over the past three months and HTC was still the No.2 vendor over all, followed by RIM and Samsung. Nielsen also noted that 44% of all mobile subscribers in the U.S. now own smartphones, and 56% of subscribers who purchased a cell phone in the past three months chose a smartphone. Finally, the market research firm says 71% of smartphone users in the U.S., and 83% of app downloaders, now own either an iPhone or Android smartphone.
