iphone

It's no secret I like large-screened phones and 7-inch tablets. Although I own an iPhone, I use my 4.65-inch Galaxy Nexus far more often.

The same goes for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 as compared to my iPad 2. Why? I'm a two-handed phone user. Are you?

AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, which pay hefty subsidies on the iPhones their customers buy, have seen their earnings and stock prices drop since they began offering the Apple handsets.

The perennially money-losing company on Wednesday posted its largest loss in three years.

AT&T posted its fourth quarter results for 2011 on Thursday, highlighting smartphone sales in particular, which reached a record-high 9.4 million devices, beating the standing record by 50 percent.

Apple should be pleased: of those smartphones, 7.6 million were iPhones.

The iPhone 4S was greeted with grumbling when it came out in October for lacking the razzle-dazzle of what many imagined an iPhone 5 would look like.

Is Apple really 'closing the gap' on Android as far as smartphone market share is concerned, or is there more to the battle of the mobile handsets than the latest set of headline figures suggest?

I set a reminder in my phone for this date. Remember the "January 3rd" glitch?

Hopefully it has been fixed.

Either way, tonight I will be using a backup alarm.
