MacRumors points to a report from Reuters citing that AT&T is seeing extraordinary demand for Apple's new smartphone. As most of you know, Apple opened up iPhone 4S preorders just after midnight (PST) last night.
The company has been met with a lot of criticism over its latest handset, which it unveiled last Tuesday. But that doesn't seem to have affected consumer demand for the device. AT&T believes that they've already sold 200,000 of them...

I love studies because you can make them say virtually anything you want. This one study by mobile ad network InMobi doesn't seem to be any different.
According to the company, 41% of smartphone owners in the US, Canada and Mexico are planning to buy an iPhone 5. That's millions of people willing to buy a phone they've never seen before...
When you are talking about slim, modern day tablets, the iPad was the first to market. Before Apple's slate, the "tablet" category was filled with clunky devices that ran desktop software and carried price tags over $1,000.
Obviously, being first has paid off for the company in dividends. I don't think anyone would argue that the iPad has dominated the tablet market over the last two years, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon...
A new survey by Nielsen shows that Android has been comforting its lead in smartphone market shares. According to the survey, within the last 3 months of the year, 56% of new smartphone buyers turned to Android, while only 28% chose an iOS device.

The debate between Apple's iOS and Android can get heated pretty quickly. I (in some cases) would rank someone's mobile OS preference right up there with their political views. It can get that serious.
But whether you prefer Google's open platform, or Apple's more fenced-off approach, you have to agree with one thing: Both OSes are killing it. The proof is in the numbers, as 9to5Mac points out in Millennial Media's Mobile Mix report...
iPhone owners are the most loyal smartphone users around, according to a new survey by UBS Research. Apple's iPhone boasts a 89% retention rate, indicating that nearly 9 out 10 iPhone owners will never buy another brand of smartphone.
Surprisingly, the company with the second highest retention rate is actually HTC, with 39% of its customers sticking around for the long haul. Apple claims a 50% retention rate lead over all other smartphone makers in terms of customer loyalty...
Research firm Gartner issued a special report today that basically concludes that Apple will have a free run at the tablet market this holiday season, just like they did last year, due to competitors lagging far behind.
According to Gartner, the iPad is projected to account for 73.4% of the worldwide tablet market in 2011, compared to only 17.3% for Android. Though they note the iPad's share is slightly down from last year, while Android's slightly up...
It's that time of year again. Forbes Magazine has released its annual list of who's who in the world of money hoarding. This particular list ranks the top 400 richest men in America, according to net worth.
The usual suspects are all present. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, remains at number one with $59 billion dollars. Warren Buffet comes in second with $39 billion. So, where does Steve Jobs rank on the list?
Guess what mobile platform dominates Wi-Fi usage in airports?

In the months and years leading up to Steve Jobs' resignation, most of Wall Street seemed pretty nervous about Apple's fate, post-Jobs. His ongoing health issues garnered constant speculation on whether the company could keep pace without him.
Last month, everyone was forced to confront their fears. Jobs sent out a somber resignation letter, admitting he could no longer carry out his CEO duties. But as the last few weeks have shown, Apple seemingly hasn't skipped a beat...
It's that time of year again. Although it's a few months later than previous years, all of the pre-iPhone launch festivities have begun. We've seen blurry spy shots, several glimpses of leaked parts and cases, and heard countless rumors.
Now, all that is left is for Apple to announce the media event. But as we get closer to the iPhone 5 unveiling, folks are pondering what do with their soon-to-be-old iPhones. Well, if you plan on selling your iPhone 4 online, you may want to do that in the near future...
