May 22, 2013 22:20 BST HTC One can’t save HTC from HTC First failure Yes, the HTC One may have nothing but amazing reviews and praises, but we all know how the Taiwanese phone maker is slowly wilting away. A good part of it is brought about by the disastrous sales of the HTC First (Facebook Phone) and with the company’s executives leaving HTC one executive at a time. HTC’s Kouji Kodera left the company just last week (this news is according to Chris Ziegler of The Verge). Meanwhile, Lennard Hoornik (HTC Asia’s CEO) left the company according to CNET. Furthermore, employees have hurled themselves off the company’s doors in the last three months. According to Ziegler’s anonymous source: “They’re in utter freefall.” Since 2011, HTC has been experiencing bad luck after the another. After receiving poor sales, the once majestic tech giant needed something like the HTC One to take it away out of a bad year. Yes, the HTC One could actually do great things for the company, but it didn’t. The HTC One was launched in mid of April and it sales of the device started off real slow. This is indeed a worse outlook than what was reported earlier. According to them, the HTC One is “selling well”, but not as well as the Samsung Galaxy S4 (it’s biggest and strongest competitor). HTC says that this is all because of their “supply issues”. The thing is, even if HTC get back on the track, it might be too late for the Taiwanese phone maker to fix their internal issues and sales problems. Samsung’s Galaxy S4 has already captured the market and has sold its 10 Million units in less than a month. This is a new record for Samsung, as the predecessor of the Galaxy S4 (the Samsung Galaxy S3) sold 10 Million units in 50 days). If the HTC One is making decent sales for the company, the newly launched HTC First (Facebook Phone) on the other hand is nothing but a complete FAILURE. This is a huge disaster for HTC and of course, Facebook. Despite all the hype with HTC partnering with Facebook, things only got worse. Not even the mighty social networking site can help HTC sell more HTC First unit. Not even when AT&T has decided to drop down the phone’s price from $99.00 to 99 cents. The question is, if the HTC One can’t help the ailing company, what new HTC phone can? For more HTC One information, visit us at Phoneslimited.co.uk.

Photoplethysmography Signal Analysis for Optimal Region-Of-Interest Determination in Video Imaging on a Built-In Smartphone Under Different Conditions
sensors Article Photoplethysmography Signal Analysis for Optimal Region-of-Interest Determination in Video Imaging on a Built-In Smartphone under Different Conditions Yunyoung Nam 1 ID and Yun-Cheol Nam 2,* 1 Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Soonchunhyang University, Asan 31538, Korea; [email protected] 2 Department of Architecture, Joongbu University, Goyang 10279, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-8075-1622 Received: 23 August 2017; Accepted: 18 October 2017; Published: 19 October 2017 Abstract: Smartphones and tablets are widely used in medical fields, which can improve healthcare and reduce healthcare costs. Many medical applications for smartphones and tablets have already been developed and widely used by both health professionals and patients. Specifically, video recordings of fingertips made using a smartphone camera contain a pulsatile component caused by the cardiac pulse equivalent to that present in a photoplethysmographic signal. By performing peak detection on the pulsatile signal, it is possible to estimate a continuous heart rate and a respiratory rate. To estimate the heart rate and respiratory rate accurately, which pixel regions of the color bands give the most optimal signal quality should be investigated. In this paper, we investigate signal quality to determine the best signal quality by the largest amplitude values for three different smartphones under different conditions. We conducted several experiments to obtain reliable PPG signals and compared the PPG signal strength in the three color bands when the flashlight was both on and off. We also evaluated the intensity changes of PPG signals obtained from the smartphones with motion artifacts and fingertip pressure force.

Technology Giants the “Moligopoly” Hypothesis and Holistic Competition
Work in progress, 20 October 2016. TECHNOLOGY GIANTS, THE “MOLIGOPOLY” HYPOTHESIS AND HOLISTIC COMPETITION: A PRIMER Nicolas Petit* INTRODUCTION This paper originates from a disconnect. On the one hand, technology pundits daily describe the information and communications technologies giants (the “technology giants” or the “tech giants”) as oligopoly firms at war with each other. In 2012, Farhad Manjoo wrote in Fast Company a column entitled “The Great Tech War of 2012: Apple, Facebook, Google, and Amazon Battle for the Future of the Innovation Economy”.1 A year later, Manjoo inaugured in Slate a fictional dialogue with Matt Yglesias entitled “WarGames: Google vs. Apple” with the following sub-narrative “what would happen if the world’s two great powers went to (actual) war”.2 Their fictional conversation closed with Microsoft Bing becoming the default search engine in the US. On the other hand, antitrust lawyers and economists tend to classify the technology giants as entrenched monopolists, shielded from competition. In 2010, Columbia Law School Professor Tim Wu concluded an op-ed titled “In the Grip of the New Monopolists” in the Wall Street Journal with the following statement “let's not pretend that we live in anything but an age of monopolies”.3 Since then, not a year has passed without a major antitrust jurisdiction levelling monopolization concerns against companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple or Facebook (hereafter, “GAFAM”).4 * Professor, University of Liege (ULg), Belgium. [email protected]. This study has benefited from no funding. I wish to express my gratitude to Jorge Marcos Ramos for excellent research assistance.
