"It could exceed one billion activation numbers," according to IHS iSuppli forecast that we have quoted from Businessweek, Sunday (16/09/2012).

With the rapid increase in the graph, the research institute IHS iSuppli estimates that even Android-based device shipments globally will double again by 2013.

And September 2012, before Apple released the new iPhone 5 with iOS, Google says Android activation has reached 500 million, with an average of 1.3 million per day. Significant improvement.

Meanwhile, another interesting news is that HP Will Make Smartphone Again.,

CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HP) Meg Whitman confirmed that they plan to return to the realm of smartphones and prepared to develop new products.

"We eventually had to offer smartphone because in many countries, the smartphone is the first computing device most people," said Whitman.

Whitman said HP had to come back to work the smartphone, because the smartphone itself is a new computer device used by many people today. And the computer itself is an arena where HP works.

Previously, HP had so vigorously developing WebOS, Palm's mobile operating system were acquired. Palm itself known already well established as a mobile platform.

"We are a computer company. We should take advantage of such a form factor," he explained, as reported by Fox Business Networks, told us on Saturday (09/15/2012).

HP decided to no longer develop the WebOS. Devices like the tablet with WebOS HP TouchPad was discontinued. Of course, many were surprised considering the investment cost is quite large HP.

Unfortunately, the funds are disbursed HP to acquire Palm for USD 1.2 billion in vain, because not long after the operating system is actually released for granted.

It looks like HP has now realized his mistake and meant to go back working in the mobile realm. But Whitman did not explain in detail whether the company would re-embrace WebOS smartphone operating system in the future.

The public did not believe it, the operating system debuted as previously dumped by HP. Phil McKinney, a former technology officer at HP have revealed that HP is less patience in developing the potential of WebOS.
