Why Microsoft won't make an iPhone rival

Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has spent plenty of time in the last few months telling the world that Microsoft was morphing from a software company to one that focuses on devices and services.
Turns out, there's one device that Microsoft has no plans to make anytime soon: a smartphone.
At the Dive into Mobile conference yesterday, Terry Myerson, the vice president in charge of Windows Phone, Microsoft's also-ran of a mobile phone operating system, said that Microsoft would only jump into the business of making a smartphone if its partners, such as Nokia, weren't offering compelling devices.
"But we don't see that happening," Myerson said. "So we don't see a need [for Microsoft to build its own device]."
There is, of course, more to it than that. Microsoft recognizes that the cost of creating a premium handset to compete at the high-end of the smartphone market against Apple's iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S3 is an enormously expensive and risky proposition.

"Making that 'hero' smartphone isn't necessarily the best use of Microsoft's resources and time," said IDC analyst Kevin Restivo. "The race (in the smartphone market) is to the bottom."
So instead, the company is looking to gain ground in emerging markets. In those markets, the smartphone business is particularly price sensitive.
A discount handset, though, isn't the kind of product that Microsoft wants to make. Any device made by Microsoft needs to be premium, showcasing the potential for the software Microsoft creates. Even the company's Surface tablet PCs, which have reportedly not met sales expectations since their fall debut, are high-end gadgets designed to highlight the best of Windows 8.
To appeal to smartphone consumers in emerging markets, Microsoft intends to rely on low-margin handsets made by partners such as Nokia that have already-established beachheads. Nokia is pushing products such as its Windows Phone-running Lumia 520, which sells for about $180, in those emerging markets where carriers often don't subsidize phones for subscribers.
The strategy seems to have some merit. Tracking data from IDC found that Windows Phone shipments in the fourth quarter actually topped shipments of iPhones in seven markets: Russia, India, Argentina, Poland, South Africa, Ukraine, and a group of smaller countries that IDC collectively refers to in its survey as "rest of central and eastern Europe."
Microsoft certainly isn't walking away from making hardware. Though its Surface may have stumbled, the company clearly intends to build devices when its partners aren't producing gadgets that resonate with consumers.
The smartphone market in developed markets such as the United States might seem just the type of hardware business for Microsoft to jump into. After all, the partners that make Windows Phones have failed to launch a smartphone that consumers crave. In February, Windows Phone held just 3.2 percent of the U.S. market for smartphone subscribers, well behind Google's Android at 51.7 percent and Apple's iOS at 38.9 percent, according to market researcher comScore.
But the task of displacing Apple and Google with a Microsoft-made phone is monumental.
"That's not the game Microsoft is playing," IDC's Restivo said. "It wants to put Windows Phones into as many hands as it can worldwide."

Review: Samsung Galaxy S4

After a blowout event and bizarre press conference yesterday, the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4 is upon us. In the run-up to its introduction the smartphone attracted huge interest and plenty of hype, which is only going to grow in the weeks until its consumer release. CNET will render our full opinion in a rated review then, but we know that you have plenty of GS4 questions in the meantime. Below are the most vital details about the handset, where it will land, and when you can get it. If you have any further questions, leave them in the comments and we'll do our best to answer them.
What are the GS4's most standout features?
Believe me when I say that Samsung didn't restrain itself when adding features to the GS4. The device has just about everything you'd ever need and then some. As for basic specs, the highlights include an IR blaster, a 13-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video, a 2-megapixel front camera, a SwiftKey-powered keyboard, a powerful processor (more on that below), a 2,600mAh battery, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage with another 64GB available through the microSD card slot, NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, support for 4G LTE networks. There even should be some form of LTE interoperability, which is a big deal. Exact details are to come, but that's something that the iPhone 5 doesn't have.
What else can you tell me about the design?
Samsung didn't deviate from its design fundamentals with the GS4, so the plastic body remains. Samsung says it uses plastic to keep its devices affordable and easy to produce in mass numbers. Personally, I don't consider plastic to be a deal breaker, and it can be pretty durable, but I understand if it turns you off. Fortunately, the display shows needed improvements over the GS3's. It's bright, the colors are crisp and rich, and you use the touch interface while wearing gloves.
What's different from the Samsung Galaxy S3?
Lynn La details the major spec differences here, but the short version is that the S4 is a lighter and thinner GS3 with modestly upgraded specs and more-specialized software. On the whole, it looks a lot like the GS3, but it has fewer curves and the display is larger and has a higher resolution (5 inches, 1080p). Also, the battery capacity is higher (2,600mAh), the processor is faster (see next question), and the rear-facing camera gets a boost from 8 megapixels to 13. In other words, it's a firm stride forward from the GS3 rather than a giant leap.

Will it be four-core or eight-core?
Like the GS3, the GS4 will come in two different versions. One model will run on a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series processor and the other will have a 1.6GHz eight-core chipset, which is Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa silicon. Samsung has not revealed which version will land in the United States or, for that matter, any other market.
Which Android OS does it use?
At launch, the GS4 will use the latest version of Android available, Jelly Bean 4.2.2. That's great for now, but keep in mind that Google I/O kicks off in just two months. That's when Google should announce the next version of Android, Key Lime Pie.
Sure, we had the same situation last year -- the Ice Cream Sandwich-equipped GS3 landed just before we heard about Jelly Bean -- but I hope that the GS4 will get fast-tracked for an upgrade. The S4 also has Samsung's TouchWiz overlay. (I'm not a fan.)
How does eye-tracking work?
As expected, the GS4 does have eye-tracking technology. Though this feature is rare in smartphones, the GS4 builds on the eye-tracking features we saw in the GS3. On that phone, you could keep the screen from dimming when your eyes were on it. In the GS4, however, we get a bit more. For instance, tilting the screen up or down while reading a Web site will make the page scroll accordingly. Also, the Smart Pause feature halts a video you're watching when you look away. When you look back it will resume again. The GS4 also responds to several gestures, which Jessica details in the First Take.
Which U.S. carriers will get it?
So far, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Cricket Wireless have announced that they will sell the Galaxy S4. And oddly, Ting, an MVNO that uses Sprint's network, said even before Samsung's event that it would sell the phone.

What about carriers in other regions?
Nic Healey of CNET Australia reports that Vodafone is "interested" in the GS4 while allowing customers to register for updates. Telstra says the device is "coming soon," and Optus has confirmed that it will carry it.
In Europe and the United Kingdom, expect the GS4 to come to Deutsche Telekom, EE, H3G, Orange, Telenor, O2, Tesco Mobile, Three, T-Mobile, Virgin Media, TeliaSonera, Telefonica, and Vodafone (exact availability will depend on country). At this time, Samsung has not announced carriers for Singapore or elsewhere in Asia. It's clear, though, that Samsung is doing one thing right: getting the S4 to as many carriers as it can.
When can I get it?
For the most part, Samsung has promised only that the S4 will go on sale in the second quarter of this year, which could mean anytime from April 1 to June 30. U.K. residents have a firm availability date of April 26, but other operators, including those in the United States, aren't offering any specifics. As far as I can tell, U.S. customers should expect it to launch in very late April or the first part of May. That's about when the Galaxy S3 launched last year.
If Samsung is smart it will launch the S4 as soon as it can and not stagger the launch by carrier or region. Customers, not to mention cell phone reviewers, are tiring of vague availability promises like "the coming weeks" or "second quarter." What's more, in the fast-changing wireless world, the longer Samsung waits, the more likely it is that the S4 will be eclipsed by whatever flagship phone is introduced next.

Updated: Google Glass: What You Need To Know

I’m intrigued by Google’s definition of the battery life of Google Glass in today’s announced specifications. Rather than an actual number, capacity, or indication of the size, Google has used the delightful phrase ‘one full day of typical use’. Which leads to the question of what a typical day is?

Much like talk time on a mobile phone, or miles per gallon in a car, giving out a battery life is a bit hit and miss, which is why I’ve always looked for the mAh rating. Which isn’t at all obvious from the tech specs. The only clue is that recording video and participating in a Google+ hangout are flagged up as being ‘more battery intensive.’

Given the battery life of your regular Android device can make it tricky to get through a full day of commenting, being at work, heading out for some evening activities, and then making it home again, I wonder if Glass has the stamina to get through a decent day’s living? Or has Google come up with an ‘average day’ profile that allows the headset to reach beyond 9am and 5pm?

Does the battery life on the first device actually matter, given that the upcoming public release of Google Glass is to all intents and purposes a very big beta test with the public? I think it does in the medium term. The first reviews of the headsets are going to be pounced upon, looking both for the fabulous and the flaws. And I suspect that people are going to zero in on the battery life of the headset.

Wearable technology is all about the battery life. Because of the physical dimensions in a pair of glasses, a watch, or a bracelet, there’s not a lot of space for the chemicals that make up a battery. Which means it’s a very limited resource. Google Glass has transmitters and receivers, cameras, a decent whack of a CPU to run the user interactions and interface, and the nifty screen technology. None of that is cheap in terms of power.

Google Glass is going to be forgiven for a lot of issues when it appears, but I think that any battery life issues will not be brushed aside. For Google Glass to take off, regular members of the public need to buy in to the system, not just the geekerati. And if there’s one thing people are conscious of, it’s the battery life of their devices.
