LG Electronics Inc introduced on Monday its first tablet with a high-resolution screen, joining global rivals trying to take on Apple Inc’s dominance in the popular small-sized tablet market. The G Pad 8.3 is the first tablet by the South Korean firm in nearly two years as it has struggled to regain lost ground in the mobile market due to a slow response to the industry’s shift to smartphones. The world’s third-largest smartphone maker after Samsung Electronics Co and Apple hopes the new tablet with a sharper display will help it gain traction during the year-end holiday season as Android-based tablets continue to win market share from Apple’s iPad.

The reports are in from Google, and it appears as though the market share for Android 4.1 and 4.2, otherwise known as "Jelly Bean", has risen to over 10% of the total active devices. This can be broken down into 9% running Android 4.1 and 1.2% running the latest version (4.2); the former populated by updates to devices such as the One X and Galaxy S III, while the latter restricted to the Nexus line. The interesting thing here is that if you take some readily available information about the overall market share of mobile devices, it looks like the share for just  Jelly Bean has surpassed the entire market share of Windows Phone. There are around 125 million Android devices worldwide, meaning that Jelly Bean is loaded on roughly 12.5 million devices; in total, Windows Phone only has around 5-6 million devices in users' hands. Even though the data we're using here is a few months old, it still paints an interesting picture. Google and their Android OEMS ...

Reason #1: You are in violation of the Facebook user agreement and run the risk of losing access to all of your hard work. Here it is as stated on the...
