Consumers take their lives into the cloud

Consumers increasingly rely on cloud-based services to perform everyday tasks
35 percent of US Android and iPhone users interact with such non-voice apps as Facebook on their smartphones before even getting out of bed
Ericsson ConsumerLab�s research findings were presented at Ericsson Business Innovation Forum in Silicon Valley on May 11
The ability to stay constantly connected to the internet is making consumers increasingly dependent on the cloud for their daily needs, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) ConsumerLab research has found. And while the smartphone revolution may have started this trend, the research has shown it is app usage that is likely to make it continue. Apps are actually shaping the way people are using connected devices.

Behavior around apps is also creating a new set of expectations when it comes to connecting consumer electronic devices. Devices must be connected if they are to be useful. For example, 54 percent of US users of portable storage devices said that they wanted to be able to synchronize these with their home PC files from anywhere. And 49 percent of camera owners in the sample wanted direct access to secure online storage for their photos.

Michael Bj�rn, Head of Research at Ericsson ConsumerLab, says: "Our research found apps are appealing to people at an emotional level. Consumers become attached to a certain set of apps that makes them feel more in control of their lives, and turns everyday chores into positive experiences. Apps even give consumers a new sense of freedom; if a new situation arises, there�s probably an app out there that could help them."

The research � conducted in a number of locations, including the US, parts of Europe and Japan � found that consumers are increasingly connecting to the internet via their smartphones before they even get out of bed. In 2011, 35 percent of US Android and iPhone users said that they interacted with such non-voice apps as Facebook on their smartphones before rising. The ease of internet access is enabling consumers to utilize an increasing number of cloud-based services to perform everyday tasks.

Consumers today depend less on the devices they use, and more on the apps that help them � not only to connect to news or social-media sites, for example, but also to find a place to eat, organize their family schedules and other everyday activities. The app culture is turning into a new way of living and is now also spreading to tablet users and other devices.

Ericsson ConsumerLab�s research also found that this "app culture" is easily transferable between mobile devices � people are using apps on tablets in much the same way as they do on smartphones. The context and situation, not the device, determine how the consumer uses the app.

Ericsson ConsumerLab studies also reveal what may be a turning point � regardless of the device they are using, people are increasingly discovering how difficult it is when they are not continuously connected to the cloud.

The findings of 18 months� research carried out by Ericsson ConsumerLab into mobile-internet usage were presented at the Ericsson Business Innovation Forum in Silicon Valley in the US on May 11.

New ways to discover great apps on Android Market

We�ve seen tremendous growth in Android Market lately. With over 200,000 apps supporting over 300 Android devices, we�ve had 4.5 billion applications installed to date. But with so many apps available, how do you find the ones you really want? Whether you�re looking for the most popular apps, hot new apps, or just the very best apps available, we want to help make sure that you find what you�re looking for.

Today, we�re excited to announce 5 new features for Android Market focused on helping you find apps you�ll love.


New top app charts - We�ve revamped our top app charts to be fresher and country-specific, so you get the most current, relevant results. We�ve also added top new free, top new paid, and top grossing lists, all right on the Android Market home page.

Editors� Choice - These are some of the very best apps available for Android, as chosen by the Android Market staff. They span everything from games to productivity and beyond.

Top Developers - We�re also recognizing those developers creating the highest quality, most popular, and most notable apps available on Android Market. They�ll get a special icon on our Android Market website, appearing wherever the developer name is shown, starting today for an initial set of over 150 developers.
Better related apps - On the left side of an app page, you�ll now see two groups of related apps: apps frequently browsed by people who viewed this app, and apps that people tend to install alongside this app. For example, people who view ScoreMobile, my favorite sports score app, often also view other sports score apps, while those who install ScoreMobile tend to also install apps for specific sports leagues or teams. We�ll also show you related apps once you decide to install an app.
Trending apps - Finally, we�ve added a new section to the Android Market homepage showing trending apps � those apps that are quickly growing in daily installs. Look here to stay ahead of the curve and find new apps as they get hot.
We hope you find these features helpful as you explore the many greats apps available on Android Market. These new features are available now on http://market.android.com, and will be coming soon to Android Market on phones and tablets.

Samsung Galaxy S2 USB OTG demo

Demo of USB OTG in Samsung's Galaxy S2 - seems generic USB OTG cables will work (mine came from here: http://tiny.cc/os3s1 ), so no need to wait for Samsung's overpriced ones. Quick demo of bluetooth keyboard and mouse connections also. Video recorded on a Samsung Galaxy S, using a Nokia DT-22 attachment to connect to a Gorillapod. Two video segments edited together using the 'Video Maker' app onboard the SGSII. Unfortunately despite using a tripod there is a bit of shake from whenever I leant against the table.
