More People Now Watch TV And Movies On Tablets In Bedrooms Than On TVs!

In case you wanted more evidence that tablets and smartphones are disrupting the traditional TV viewing experience, here are some startling new survey stats from Motorola about how people consume TV and movies these days... The highlights: More people now watch TV and movies on tablets in their bedrooms than they watch them on TVs. In other words, bedroom TV viewing is moving rapidly to tablets. (The "more than on TVs" seems hard to believe. But even if it's close, it's impressive. The tablet viewers probably also include folks who don't have TVs in their bedrooms.) People who own tablet...

Samsung has arrived. Its massive success, underway for a few quarters now, has finally penetrated the mainstream consciousness. Over on TechCrunch, MG Siegler described Samsung as the "fifth horseman" in tech, joining the classic four: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google. This morning, reports of a smashing Q4 arrived. Samsung posted $8.3 billion of profit during the last three months – an 89% increase over the same period a year ago. So, how did Samsung do it? The formula is actually pretty simple. It tried smartphones of every shape and size and sold them on every carrier. ... Read similar

www.businessinsider.com Nicholas Carlson 126 days ago

Dell is in talks to go private. The main reason why it's in trouble: consumers are buying smartphones and tablets instead of PCs.

Jefferies Cuts Its Apple Price Target By $100 (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 161 days ago

Jefferies analyst Peter Misek cut his price target on Apple to $800, down from $900. He still rates the stock a "buy," but he says Apple's growth is going slow to just 20% by 2014. (In 2013, he's calling for 40%-50% growth.) iPhone sales in developed markets will slow as those markets hit a saturation point. Apple, right now, doesn't have a plan to aggressively attack developing markets. It could release a low cost iPhone for $200-$250, but that would lead to smaller sales and smaller margins, says Misek. Apple's stock is off 1.41% this morning in pre-market trading. It was down ~10% last week... Read similar

CHART OF THE DAY: The Case Against Apple In One Chart (AAPL)

Pacific Crest downgraded Apple today citing market saturation for the iPhone. Basically, it believes that the market for expensive smartphones is just about tapped out and therefore Apple's growth is going to be held in check. In this chart, you can see that Pacific Crest believes growth is going to stall in the next two years as upgrades quickly become the bulk of iPhone purchases instead of sales to new users. If there is one legitimate case to be made against Apple's growth, this is it. Can Apple continue to sell iPhones, which are ~$650 each, to new users? Follow the Chart Of The ... Read similar

Apple May Have Already Missed The Boat In TV (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Nicholas Carlson 17 days ago

When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone in 2007, this is what the existing competition looked like: They were expensive, ugly, and not very popular. They used styluses! These smartphones had limited penetration of the overall mobile phone market. In February 2006, ABI Research predicted that by the end of the year, sales of smartphones would double year-over-year, and that their share of the overall mobile phone market would reach 15% by 2007. The point is: When Apple came out with the iPhone, normal people had not yet embraced smartphones, and this gave Apple the opportunity to… &... Read similar

CHART OF THE DAY: Surprise! iPhone Demand Is Fine (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 125 days ago

The story that's terrorized Apple's stock for the past month is iPhone demand is weak. Apple reportedly cut orders with suppliers in Asia for iPhone screens and other components. While there are many theories about why Apple cut its order, the most popular seems to be that iPhone demand is weak. And yet, something about it doesn't make sense. Analysts have quietly raised holiday quarter iPhone estimates. Why do that if demand is tanking? Shaw Wu of Sterne Agee said today that demand is "robust." Analysts could be wrong, but here's another piece of evidence in their favor. ChangeWave surveyed ... Read similar

How Tablets — Not Phones — Have Taken Over The Lives Of TV Viewers

www.businessinsider.com Laura Stampler 164 days ago

As more and more mobile devices proliferate the market, you might start noticing more iPhones or tablets in the lap of someone watching TV than bowls of popcorn. According to a new Nielsen report, 40 percent of Americans use their smartphones or tablets while watching TV at least once a day. Almost 80 percent use a second screen at least once a month. But even though smartphone penetration has reached more than 50 percent and tablets are only in 20 percent of homes, 41 percent of tablet owners use their devices at least once a day while watching TV — which is 2 percent more than American...

As recently as eight years ago, Microsoft had a monopoly on the internet connected computers of the world. Today, not so much. This chart comes from Goldman Sachs, and it shows Microsoft losing its market dominance of computing devices as smartphones and tablets have come into the market. It's cliched at this point to say Microsoft whiffed on mobile, but a chart like this really puts into context. Microsoft went from 95% of the internet-connected market to 20% in an eight year span. It's going to get better thanks to Windows Phone and Windows 8, says Goldman, but only just barely. Microsoft's ... Read similar
