The computer processor company AMD has announced an app store to bridge the prevalent gap in smooth running of the Android apps on the computer. This store will showcase how the apps will be optimized for its processors. With this, we will be able to download and run popular Android apps on AMD based PC running Windows. The joint efforts of Blue Stack and AMD have enabled the AMS AppZone Player which in turn has led to such possibilities.
This is expected to be a big leap to bridge the gap and enabling the Android apps to be run on AMD-powered devices. With this collaboration, the software developers will now be able to easily tap AMD’s products and keep the great expectations of the users satisfied. Manju Hegde, corporate VP of heterogeneous applications and developer solutions at AMD confirmed the news.
Further, users will be able to download featured apps directly from the AppZone Player or search for the AppZone store. This collaboration is a success already and they are now planning and working with leading OEMs to preload the player on the upcoming AMD-powered devices.
We are waiting fingers crossed for more surprises. Thanks to AMD for the good news!

The Indian mobile app development market is expected to grow past the $227 million mark in 2012, growing at a 22.6% from last year, as analyzed by Gartner.
Growing at a steady pace, the mobile app development market is expected to surpass the PC software market by a whopping ratio of 4:1 by 2012. According to Asheesh Raina, principal research analyst at Gartner:
Application modernization and increasing agility will continue to be a solid driver for app development spending, apart from other emerging dynamics of cloud, mobility and social computing.
And
These emerging trends are directing app development demand towards newer architectures, programming languages, business model and user skills.
The report also predicts that 90 percent of large, mainstream enterprises and government agencies will use some aspect of cloud computing by 2015.
Open source software tools will continue to erode revenue for some App development categories in design, testing and Web development.
This is being driven primarily by the success of Eclipse and NetBeans, as well as by overall revitalization of the market by new small software providers looking for technical and market disruptive approaches for offering products. Limited budgets and economic conditions compelling enough to focus on cost reduction, also fuel the use of open-source software in various development projects.
RIM has slashed the prices of the Blackberry Playbook in a rather very playful manner. If you are based in Philippines, you have all the more reasons to be joyful.
While Playbook 16GB is available for Philippine peso 10,990 from the actual cost of Philippine peso 23,990. Playbook 32GB is now sold at Philippine peso 13,990 instead of Philippine peso 28,990. Playbook 64GB is priced at Philippine peso 15,990 from the actual Philippine peso 33,990.
While this can be seen as an overly aggressive move by RIM to take on some of the market of iPad, only time will tell how successful this idea of RIM will be.
Grab the Playbook for yourself, at half the previous price.
Tip: If you already have one, gift one to your girl friend this amazing Playbook from the nearest blackberry retailer before the deal and limited stock lasts.

First week of June has passed, and the monthly stats from Krusell are in. Here is the list of the Top 10 selling phones for May 2012:
1. (-) Samsung Galaxy i9300 SIII
2. (1) Apple iPhone 4/4S
3. (2) Sony Xperia S
4. (3) Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II
5. (5) Samsung Galaxy Note
6. (-) HTC One S
7. (4) Sony Xperia U
8. (-) Samsung GT-B2710 / Xcover 271
9. (-) HTC One X
10. (6) Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc/Arc S
() = Last month’s position.
We can see that Samsung Galaxy S3 has ousted the iPhone 4S from its number one position. It has made a direct entry on the numbero uno spot.
According to Ulf Sandberg, CEO at Krusell
Galaxy SIII has a sleek design, some new features but mostly a great 4, 8 HD super Amoled touchscreen and my guess is that it will stay at the top until Apple launches their next iPhone.
The list is based on the number of pieces of custom made mobile- and smartphone cases ordered from Krusell during May 2012. Krusell’s list is unique due to the fact that it reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 70 countries around the globe.
