TS2R Wireless News from Wireless and Mobile News:
We have renamed TS2R Wireless News, TS2R CES Wireless News, because there were many announcements from CES. Full CES news stories today include the Windows Phone smoke-out results, ViewPad e70, Samsung Galaxy S 4G Blaze, Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD comparison and PlayStation Vita data plans.
Here's the news that is too short to report from CES:
- Apple confirmed plans that will launch Apple "store-within-a-store" sales at 25 Target locations with special focus on Apple products and brands.
- Pepcom's rodeo-themed Digital Experience!® event bucked the previous attendance mark, as more than 1,500 journalists and analysts attended the annual technology demo showcase on January 9th in Las Vegas.
- Texas Instruments introduced a battery charger integrated circuit to support higher cell capacity batteries and increasing battery charge currents of tablets, e-readers and smartphones.
- Worldwide PC shipments totaled 92.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (4Q11), down 0.2% compared to the same quarter in 2010, according to the International Data Corporation. As expected, shortages of hard disk drives (HDDs) added to challenges from slow economic conditions and competition from other consumer electronics, including media tablets, eReaders and mobile phones
