It wasn’t even that long ago, in fact. But when Nokia failed to respond quickly enough to the industry’s shift toward touch, the Finnish giant lost its footing and toppled spectacularly. Just how bad have things gotten for Nokia? Market share numbers paint a pretty frightening picture, but a single tweet from Benedict Evans of Enders Analysis might do an even better job of putting things in perspective.

In response to this growing user base, Verizon Wireless this week announced that it is increasing its data allowance for prepaid customers. The carrier’s new plans offer unlimited talk and text with 2GB of data, up from 500MB, for $60 a month. There is also a plan with 4GB of data, up from 2GB, for $70 per month. The increased data allowance is available now to current customers, and will be available to new customers beginning June 6th.

According to WMPowerUser, the handset will look similar to Nokia’s Lumia 920 smartphone and will feature a polycarbonate case with a 4.5-inch 720p display. The device will reportedly come with a new application called “Nokia Pro Camera” to compliment the 41-megapixel PureView camera, which is also said to include a protective lens cover that automatically opens when the camera application is launched.

Of course, things change a bit when a company has to pump units into channels as quickly as possible before the top-selling smartphone vendor in the world launches the Galaxy S4. HTC undoubtedly lost some sales thanks to its production woes with the One, but a new report suggests its manufacturing issues are behind it. According to Focus Taiwan, HTC North Asia president Jack Tong said that production capacity for the HTC One will double in May and increase further in June.  Fri, 17 May 2013 23:00:24 GMT http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2094396&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/xgTZHtJX6mk/ 2013-05-17T23:00:24Z http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2094250&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/hmpYJT8lx_o/ The Xbox 360 topped the charts again in April, marking the 28th consecutive month Microsoft’s gaming console has outsold Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii consoles. According to research from NPD Group, the Xbox 360 accounted for 42% of current-generation sales with 130,000 units sold last month. It wasn’t all good news, however, as sales plummeted 50% from 261,000 units in March. As a whole, the industry continued to struggle in April with total gaming sales down 25% year-over-year from $657.5 million to $495.2 million.

SamMobile obtained the image of the unannounced tablet from an unnamed source, and the device shown in the image looks very similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet, pictured above, with slight variations such as the sensor layout above the display. Not much can be gleaned from the render, though the blog also claims to have knowledge of the tablet’s specs, which include an 8-inch TFT display with 1,280 x 800-pixel resolution, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of Fri, 17 May 2013 20:50:50 GMT http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2094124&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/aREr1WQK8KQ/ 2013-05-17T20:50:50Z http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2093928&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/MwKG6JBCckw/ It’s pretty fascinating that Facebook and Google debuted new messaging paradigms within six weeks of each other. Facebook Home’s one key feature is the prominent placement of its “chat heads” messaging alerts on the home screen. Google is launching a new messaging app particularly focused on group messaging. The debuts of these two initiatives fit within the same timeline: a sudden realization in 2012 that smartphone messaging had started evolving, followed by the feverish development of a new product that would finally launch in the spring of 2013.

Forbes contributor Peter Cohan laid out the five areas where Google is launching its “assault” on chief competitor Apple, and he discussed exactly how Google is hurting the world’s most valuable company in each area.

But not in the United States. Nokia’s first big attempt at a comeback in the U.S. was the Lumia 900, and the company returned later in 2012 with the Lumia 920. Neither phone was received with much enthusiasm from consumers. In the Lumia 900′s debut quarter, Nokia shipped 600,000 total Lumia phones in the U.S. When the Lumia 920 launched in the holiday quarter last year, Nokia’s U.S. Lumia phone shipments totaled 700,000 units and then slid to just 400,000 units in the following qua Fri, 17 May 2013 17:05:12 GMT http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2093460&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/LJsoSD8xWpY/ 2013-05-17T17:05:12Z http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2093402&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/9LtTWHzrGHE/ Samsung and Apple have fought over market share and patents, and they may soon start fighting over supply chains. Samsung traditionally built its products using internal supply lines, but as its devices became increasingly popular the company has been forced to seek outside help. Reuters reports that Samsung has reached out to some of Apple’s key supply chain partners about helping the company manufacture its products. With the two companies fighting for supply lines, Samsung’s presence could increase Apple’s cost and lead to component shortages that might disrupt Apple’s future products. “The Fri, 17 May 2013 16:40:03 GMT http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2093402&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/9LtTWHzrGHE/ 2013-05-17T16:40:03Z http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2093342&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/qg9pRHIN78A/ Google Glass might not be the next iPad, but future versions of wearable computing devices like Glass are widely expected to be the next major consumer electronics revolution.

The buffering annoyances that consumers take for granted vanish as Google Fiber feeds movies and shows instantly to eager Silicon Prairie dwellers.

The iPhone will compete with BlackBerry 10 and Samsung KNOX devices, which received approval earlier this month. The Pentagon has continued to test alternative platforms to give employees flexibility when choosing a work phone. The DoD even has plans to create a mobile app store that can handle as many as 8 million devices.

Amid the numerous announcements made during Google I/O 2013, Google said that developers can now create geofenced ads that automatically display in Google Maps when a user is approaches a certain location. So, for example, a Starbucks ad with a coupon might pop up on the screen as a user walks or drives past a Starbucks coffee shop.

To accomplish this, the company has launched a “Scroogled” advertising campaign that looks to shine a light on Google and its sometimes questionable privacy practices. The company has previously attacked Google’s search engine and Gmail service, and is now taking aim at its Chrome Web browser. iCosmoGeek obtained an internal video that is believed to be created by Microsoft that mocks Google’s latest Chrome commercial. Google recently created an advertisement touting Chrome’s ability to s Thu, 16 May 2013 19:00:30 GMT http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2091354&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/Nqmf_ROxIVk/ 2013-05-16T19:00:30Z http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2091266&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/BJh7e0VKXKE/ Google on Thursday faced questions from British lawmakers regarding the company’s tax practices, Reuters reported. It has been alleged that Google may have misled parliament last year when it said it complied with U.K. tax law. The company had previously claimed that, in an effort to avoid additional taxes, it doesn’t make sales to U.K. customers from within the country. An investigation by Reuters discovered that this was not the case, however. Google’s Northern Europe boss Matt Brittin flip-flopped on the issue while being questioned, and said the U.K. team is selling but “not closing.” Comm Thu, 16 May 2013 18:20:30 GMT http://us.wa.ui-portal.com/1and1/mailcom/s?content.scitech.click.rubricpage.boygeniusreport.index&category=rubricpage&wa_c_id=2091266&wa_p_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_sc_2=scitech&wa_sc_5=boygeniusreport&wa_userdet=false&country=in&wa_cl_nm=undef&wa_cl_pn=BoyGeniusReport&wa_cl_d=extern&c_id_1=undef&c_id_2=undef&c_id_3=undef&c_id_4=undef&ns_type=clickout&ns_url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/BJh7e0VKXKE/ 2013-05-16T18:20:30Z
