  • February 2010 Admob Mobile Metrics Report
    AdMob Mobile Metrics Report AdMob serves ads for more than 15,000 mobile Web sites and applications around the world. AdMob stores and analyzes the data from every ad request, impression, and click and uses this to optimize ad matching in its network. This monthly report offers a snapshot of its data to provide insight into trends in the mobile ecosystem. February 2010 Find archived reports and sign up for future report notifications at metrics.admob.com. AdMob Mobile Metrics Report February 2010 New and Noteworthy For this month's report, we separate the traffic in our network into three categories – smartphones, feature phones, and mobile Internet devices – to examine the growth rates of each over the past year and look at the traffic share of smartphone operating systems and manufacturers of feature phones. * In February 2010, smartphones accounted for 48% of AdMob’s worldwide traffic, up from 35% in February 2009. The strong growth of iPhone and Android traffic, fueled by heavy application usage, was primarily responsible for the increase. In absolute terms, smartphone traffic increased 193% over the last year. * Feature phones declined from 58% to 35% of AdMob's total traffic as users began switching to smartphones. Although the share of traffic from feature phones as a category declined, in absolute terms traffic grew 31% year-over-year. * The mobile Internet devices category experienced the strongest growth of the three, increasing to account for 17% of traffic in AdMob’s network in February 2010. The iPod touch is responsible for 93% of this traffic; other devices include the Sony PSP and Nintendo DSi.

  • Android Vs Ios
    Android vs iOS By Mohammad Daraghmeh Jack DeGonzaque AGENDA ● Android ○ History ● Samsung S6 ○ System Architecture ○ Processor ○ Performance Metrics ● iOS ○ History ● iPhone 6 ○ System Architecture ○ Processor ○ Performance Metrics ● Samsung S6 vs iPhone 6 Android Android History ● The Android OS was created mainly by three amazing people Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White. ○ Initial development for the OS was to create an operating system for digital cameras and PC integration. ○ After gauging the size of the market for such a product, Rubin and his colleagues decided to target the booming smartphone market. ● In 2005, Google also wanted to venture into the smartphone market and did so by acquiring Android Inc. ○ The primary directive was to develop technologies that are developed and distributed at a significantly lower cost to make it more accessible. ○ In 2008, the first Android running smartphone, the HTC Dream, was released. Android History (Cont.) ● The Android operating system has become one of the most popular operating systems. ○ According to research firm, called Gartner, more than a billion Android devices were sold in 2014, which is roughly five times more than Apple iOS devices sold and three times more Windows machines sold. ● Their attribute to success stems from the fact that Google does not charge for Android, and that most phone manufacturers are making cost effective phones, which results in affordable smartphones and internet services at low costs for consumers to enjoy. SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 System Architecture ● Samsung S6 uses the Exynos 7420 processor, which is developed by Samsung as well. ○ The Exynos 7420 is a 78 mm^2 SoC comprised of 8 cores connected to two L2 cache instances.

  • Android Software Platform Development at Fujitsu
    Android Software Platform Development at Fujitsu Makoto Honda Makoto Kobayashi Masahiko Nagumo Yasuhiro Kawakatsu Smartphones using the Android platform first appeared on the market in October 2008. They have since overtaken Apple’s iPhone—the first entry in the smartphone market—in number of units shipped and have helped to bring about major changes in the way that mobile phones are used. Android was developed and is distributed as open source software that a device maker integrates into its own hardware after adding original software technologies. The Android platform evolves in short cycles on the basis of software and hardware developments as the network infrastructure continues to expand in the form of WiMAX and LTE and as usage scenarios and services become increasingly diverse. Fujitsu has been developing Android smartphones with compelling functions and enhanced convenience since December 2010, when it released the REGZA Phone T-01C featuring a water-resistant enclosure, one-seg support, and FeliCa contactless IC card and infrared-communication functions. This paper describes Fujitsu’s approach to smartphone development, focusing on memory management and current-con- sumption management as important elements in the system design of the Android software platform, diverse manner modes for enhancing user convenience, high-picture-quality technol- ogy achieved by using the Mobile REGZA Engine, and audio-visual device-linking technology based on DLNA standards. 1. Introduction and Internet services, the smartphone market share of November 2007 marked the establishment of the Android devices continued to grow, and in fiscal 2011, Open Handset Alliance (OHA) centered about Google it came to exceed 50%.

    ANALYSIS OF AUDIO RECORDINGS MADE USING THE VOICE RECORDER APPLICATION ON ANDROID PHONES by GINA ANTOINETTE DEANGELIS A.A., Arapahoe Community College, 1999 B.S., University of Colorado Denver, 2001 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Recording Arts Program 2020 © 2020 GINA ANTOINETTE DEANGELIS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii This thesis for the Master of Science degree by Gina Antoinette DeAngelis has been approved for the Recording Arts Program by Catalin Grigoras, Chair Jeff M. Smith Marcus Rogers Date: May 16, 2020 iii DeAngelis, Gina Antoinette (M.S., Recording Arts) Analysis of Audio Recordings Made Using the Voice Recorder Application on Android Phones Thesis directed by Associate Professor Catalin Grigoras ABSTRACT Android is one of the two main operating systems for mobile phones and includes an application for voice recording. Since extensive research has been completed on the "Voice Memos" application for iOS, there remains research to be completed on the default application for the Android OS. This thesis explores the user interface for four different Android phones with four different voice recording application versions. Features, limitations, editing capabilities, file formats and atom structure for each phone are discussed. A testing protocol was created and utilized for the creation of the test recordings. The analysis of those recordings explored authenticity, detected editing and discovered consistencies and inconsistencies between the recordings for each phone. The form and content of this abstract are approved. I recommend its publication. Approved: Catalin Grigoras iv DEDICATION This is dedicated to my parents and my boys who supported me every step of the way.
