In recent research by UBS, the large investment bank, they found out that 9 out of 10 iPhone users were planning to buy another iPhone as their next phone.

UBS were doing research into whether users were likely to change mobile phone brands and platforms. It seems Apple has satisfied their customers excellently and they are likely to buy another iPhone in the future. With the iPhone 5 due to be announced on the 5th October, iPhone users better start saving their cash!

Just 39% of HTC mobile phone owners said they were going to buy another HTC phone as their next mobile phone. This is an incredible drop and considering HTC were second in the retention figures it doesn’t bode well for BlackBerry.

In terms of retention with operating system platforms Android fared quite well with 60% of users saying they will stick with an Android running smartphone. However 30% of  Android users surveyed said they want to get an Apple iPhone running iOS for their next phone.

UBS assessed the mobile phone use trends by asking a various sample about their habits. In one section, however, 515 executives owning smartphone were asked. The executives were from 30 American and European mobile networks. So overall the sample that this survey is based on may not be the most realistic and could be biased. The sample mentioned were also business minded people so they are not the general public and it won’t necessarily represent a clear picture of everyone’s views.

Let us know in the comments section whether you are wanting to change smart phone manufacturer or operating system!

Research in Motion, owners of BlackBerry, won’t be happy to know that just 33% of BlackBerry owners were definitely going to buy a BlackBerry as their next phone. This comes as quite a shock to me as most BlackBerry users i know say that they like their BlackBerry and mostly BBM, the instant messaging service.

We are in the era of science and technology where latest and new technology formulates into benefactor of humans beings . Good technologies and products usually make and eye on the market whereas  pathetic ones usually submitted into the lists of extinction.

Every one wants to get out of the box and reload with gadgets and gizmos.So if you want to cope with the technological world then you must updated with latest Games,Hardware,Phones,Softwares.Here is the few basic mobile trends and the modernistic need of gadgets.

Mobile Trends and the rate of utilization: – Here is the presentation by Christian Lindholm and team on Fjord’s second annual mobile trends.This forecast about the usage of App Stores in digital Innovation Bazaars.

• Apple iPhone 3G (16GB, black)Excellent
• HTC Touch Diamond (Sprint)  Very good

• “There is more pursuit in these gadgets,” said Stephen Baker, an analyst of the high-tech market. “Pricing is more reasonable. They’re getting smaller, more mobile.”

The last of the major smartphone operating systems, RIM’s BlackBerry, has finally received support for SlingPlayer Mobile. Not only can stock brokers, businessmen, bankers, analysts and other jerks email their co-workers at their lunch meetings, they now can catch the game at the same time. We demoed this earlier in the week for ourselves, and saw that the quality was actually very good, even over EDGE.

If you have a SlingBox and a BlackBerry, get ready because on December 30th you’ll be able to download SlingPlayer Mobile in a free public beta. The public beta supports BlackBerry Bold, Curve 8900, 8820, Curve 8320, Pearl Flip 8220 and Pearl 8120. Firmware must be version 4.5 or higher.
“SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry has been a top customer request since we launched the original Slingbox Classic in 2005, and being a BlackBerry addict myself I am particularly excited about this announcement,” said Blake Krikorian, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Sling Media. “Combining the best of breed email device with the ability to watch and control your living room TV is a killer combo.”
SlingPlayer for BB is only available and certified for one particular European BlackBerry Pearl version with Wi-Fi that’s not even available in the US right now, but you can try loading it onto other phones and see if it clicks.
What does it all mean? You can carry a TV around in your pocket! The SlingBox set top box captures your home cable or satellite signal and allows you to watch it via the internet using the SlingPlayer software. I generally use mine while traveling – my parents don’t have cable at all – so at their house I can snuggle up with my laptop and watch whatever is on at home.
The personalized mobile TV experience for BlackBerry smartphones is enabled by the award-winning Slingbox which allows customers to watch their home TV on an Internet-connected Mac or PC as well as a number of mobile phone platforms including Windows Mobile, Palm OS and Symbian OS.

SlingPlayer Mobile does not require a monthly fee or other recurring charges. Slingbox customers simply need to purchase SlingPlayer Mobile for a one-time charge of $29.99. All versions of SlingPlayer Mobile include a 30 day free trial.

Sling Media products and services will be on display in a number of places at the 2008 International CES show. In addition to the Sling Media booth located in the Sands Convention Center, Sling Media products can be found in several other partner booths including EchoStar Communications, Central Hall Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), booth 9021 and Microsoft, Central Hall LVCC, booth 7144. In addition all new Sling Media products and services will be on display at the Digital Experience press event on Sunday night at Caesar’s Palace.For more information on Sling Media or the Slingbox, visitwww.slingmedia.com.
