			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An analysis from <a href="http://www.asymco.com/2012/01/17/the-rise-and-fall-of-personal-computing/">Asymco</a> suggests that, as soon as next year, the amount of Android-supported devices shipped will exceed the number of PC units. Horace Dediu, who compiled the data, asserts that given the quantity of respective units shipped today, iOS and Android devices &#8220;have a combined volume that is higher than the PCs sold in the same period (358 million estimated iOS+Android vs. 336 million PCs excluding Macs in 2011).&#8221;</p>
<p>Below you can see the astronomical rise of Android since debuting on the market circa 2008:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://cdn.ientry.com/sites/webpronews/pictures/androidrising.jpg" title="Texas is the reason..." class="aligncenter" width="596" height="805" /></p>
<p>And so, Dediu puts his bet on Android:</p>

</div>
<p>Oh, and if graphs impair your ability to learn things, Dediu put together an instructive animation of Android and iOS&#8217;s insurrection of PC&#8217;s long-time rule in the land of computer devices.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8h-C6u4yLj4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>From this data, the trend that&#8217;s catching on is that, possibly, tables and maybe even smartphones are slowly replacing home computers and laptops as the primary computer-y device that they use. How do you feel about that? If you&#8217;re a tablet owner, do you find yourself using it more and more while you use your home computer or laptop less and less? Add your thoughts below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just in time for New Year&#8217;s Eve (or the weekend before it, actually), Nielsen Online has good news for Google: between October and November, the search giant&#8217;s market share went up by about 2.2 percent.</p>
<p><span id="more-42951"></span></p>
<p>This gives Google 57.7 percent of the <a title="Nielsen Online Announces November U.S. Search Share Rankings" href="http://www.nielsen-netratings.com/pr/pr_071227.pdf">search pie</a>.&nbsp; Google&#8217;s nearest competitor, Yahoo, has just 17.9 percent, and actually dropped 0.9 percent from its October standing.&nbsp; Things were similarly gloomy for MSN and Ask, which lost 1.8 percent and 0.2 percent of market share, respectively, and landed at 12.0 percent and 2.7 percent.<img align="right" alt="Nielsen Releases November Search Data" src="http://images.ientrymail.com/webpronews/article_pics/nielsen.gif" /></p>
<p>The one non-Google search property that did well in November was AOL; although its market share of 4.5 percent is still tiny, this represents an increase of 0.8 percent over its October numbers.</p>
<p>Admittedly, none of this data indicates any major changes, but it does correspond to some ongoing trends.&nbsp; Whether they&#8217;re churning out updates or simply sitting idle, engines other than Google simply don&#8217;t do so well &#8211; a chart constructed by <a title="&quot;Nielsen//NetRatings Search Engine Market Share November 2007&quot;" href="http://www.emarketingperformance.com/:/1849/search-engines/google/nielsennetratings-search-engine-market-share-november-2007-2/">Stoney deGeyter</a> illustrates this point.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see if they can turn things around in December and the beginning of 2008.</p>
