As far as the mobile industry and the smartphone market is concerned, tech giants like Apple, Google and RIM are working frantically to take over the market. Apple recently has become the top company as far as computing and cellphone industry is concerned bypassing Microsoft in terms of market share.

Recently, an analysis is released by Net Applications which compares the web-able devices market share and usage. According to their survey, iPhone currently holds 32.81% of the mobile web browsing market, while Android is lacking far behind with a mere 6.21% of the market share.

The only platform that Apple needs to take over is the Java ME (Micro Edition) which is the sole operating system on the older smartphones.

Suprised with this ‘Microsoft Fight Google with Hotmail Revamp’ title? Actually now Microsoft is in fight between Google by using their email web application, Hotmail as weapon. From what we heard, Microsoft Hotmail comes with the new functions like online editing for Microsoft Office documents and a few more upgrades for business and non-commercial users. This news was announced not less than seven days after their launch of Microsoft Office 2010 (Office 2010).

The main function is like ‘on demand editing’ for Ms Office documents like Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. From the moment you retrieved the documents, you can choose to directly edit it in web browser or go to offline editing by using Microsoft Office. Original documents will be updated whether you’re saving the documents by using online or offline editing. The online documents also can be shared with others if you want it.

The final product of 2008’s touchscreen smartphone is here at least, the BlackBerry Storm—complete with both messaging and multimedia features aplenty, not to mention a nicely done touchscreen—looks set to give the Apple iPhone 3G and Google Phone T-Mobile’s Android-G1 a run for their money. Unfortunately, the BlackBerry Storm’s poky performance and failure to truly embrace touch keep it from landing a knockout punch.

Sizing at 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.55 inches and weighing in at 5.5 ounces, the BlackBerry Storm place itself between the svelte Apple iPhone and the bulky Google G1 in terms of size and overall heft, and it fits relatively comfortably in a your pocket. Below the roomy of BlackBerry Storm’s display you’ll find the standard Call, End, Back, and Menu navigations, while on the top corners are buttons for silencing ringers and locking the screen.

Speaking of which, the big draw of the BlackBerry Storm ($199 with a new two-year contract, available Friday, Nov. 21) is, of course, its 3.25-inch touch display, and it’s a true beauty. With its screen resolution of 480 by as60, the BlackBerry Storm’s touchscreen actually manages to pack in more pixels than the Apple iPhone’s larger, 3.5-inch screen, and the result is a rich, razor-sharp image, perfect for composing e-mails, internet surfing, or watching multimedia such as videos & movies.

Barring its lack of Wireless (Wi-Fi), the BlackBerry Storm makes for one of the most feature-packed BlackBerrys yet, and something tells us that the engineers at Apple company will be giving its ClickThrough display a close (and potentially envious) look. Now, if BlackBerry could whip up a Storm that’s as peppy as the Bold, well … that would be something nice.

Now we’re on final part of T-Mobile G1-Google Phone Full Reviews. If you missed the previous G1 reviews, you still can read it here & here.

After all, while you’re sad with the G1-Google Phone’s hardware weakness (lack of a 3.5mm jack etc), the awesome of the open-source Android Operating System is that third-party developers are free to tweak any and all of the G1-Google Phone’s core ability, like the dialer, music player, browser, e-mail client or just anything and the sky’s only the limit.

Same goes with the G1-Google Phone Android Market, which was (unsurprisingly) sparsely populated during the tests. Any softwares installed quickly about under a minute and the G1-Google Phone will notified you of any security risks (such as whether the application will access your personal bio, dialer, or GPS connection) before any installation begins—great huh.

Ok, now we continue to the second part of T-Mobile G1-Google Phone Full Reviews. If you missed the first part, you can still read it here. Apart from before, the call quality was awesome on the G1-Google Phone (some callers couldn’t detect that we’re on a cellular phone), the G1-Google Phone’s speakerphone was loud & clear, and the dialer app is efficient and user friendly (T-Mobile’s myFaves feature is now supported).

Messaging options on the G1-Google Phone are abundant—just about all that’s missing is full-on Exchange support, which will come once an enterprising developer fills the void. Alright, but how’s G1-Google Phone 3G reception? If you’re in New York, you probably had no trouble getting a 3G signal, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn—indeed, 3G reception on the G1-Google Phone was better than on Apple iPhone 3G. Remember that T-Mobile only recently launched its own 3G network, and it’ll only be live in about 21 cities by the end of the month. The G1-Google Phone will work on EDGE technologies-Beside that, you can always having a connectivity to the internet via Wi-Fi (wireless networks).
