The New Sovereign emerges - soaring high, powered by Qualcomm technology, with OFDM LTE now coming on stream too. Who owes loyalty to whom? Where wallets go, hearts follow. Count the money. Where does most money in the world go? Horse shoes? Horses? Cars? Airliners? Fuel? Wine? Women? Song? Well, I guess women are still doing okay, especially if equipped with children. But Cyberspace is a close second and women increasingly would NOT be without their Cyberspace.

We wondered a few months ago is Android had reached a saturation point when it was running on 50% of the smartphones on the planet. We were… wrong. According to the IDC’s latest numbers, Android is now up to 59% of the worldwide smartphone market, with just under 90 million devices shipped in the first quarter of 2012. The nearest competitor is Apple, with 23% and 35.1 million iPhones.

The rest of the player are almost the definition of also-rans. Symbian and Blackberry are neck and neck at 6.8 and 6.4%, respectively. The combined share of Windows Phone 7 and the older Windows Mobile devices is just 2.2% – even unaffiliated Linux is beating them. Every smartphonesoftware platform aside from Android and iOS is showing dramatic losses since last year.

When it comes to individual manufacturers, Samsung rules the Android roost with 45.4% of shipments.

Was thinking to buy Telefonica (TEF) few weeks ago exactly for their stakes in overseas telecom companies was scared away by what is going on in Argentina, and now with a lower China exposure it does not make a lot of sense.
