Windows Tablets to Overtake Android, Thanks to Microsoft Office 365

- Alert) and Android devices’ market shares,” Chiou said in a recent article.

Chiou issued his forecasts for Microsoft tablets with Office 365, Android and iPad tablets in a Witsview report titled, “2010-2015 Market Shares of Tablet PC Operating Systems.” WitsView is a subsidiary of the Taiwan-based Trendforce. The predictions come from tracking shipments of PCs and LCD panels.

While Office 365 might give Windows 8-based tablets a competitive edge over Android tablets, it’s not expected to dent Apple’s position as the leader in the tablet segment. The iPad currently accounts for 62 percent of the tablet market share. And by 2015, Chiou expects that number to drop to 59 percent, while it will still remain the most popular tablet by far.

The Android tablet market share, however, will drop from 32 percent to 21 percent, while Windows-based tablets rise to 19 percent.

WSJ Claims Next iPhone Will Have Thinner Screen Thanks to In-Cell Technology

It seems we'll never again have any surprises from an iPhone release, thanks to incessant rumors about nearly every little detail finding its way to our eyes and ears months ahead of time. And now it's going to have a thinner screen, too.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple's next iPhone "currently being manufactured by Asian component makers" will arrive this fall with a thinner screen than ever before, thanks to the combined might of Sharp, LG Display and Japan Display Inc.

"The technology integrates touch sensors into the LCD, making it unnecessary to have a separate touch-screen layer," explains DisplaySearch analyst Hiroshi Hayase on the new in-cell technology. "The absence of the layer, usually about half a millimeter thick, not only makes the whole screen thinner, but the quality of displayed images would improve."

In-cell technology comes at a convenient time for Apple as rival Samsung is pushing "organic light-emitting displays" as a key feature of its latest Galaxy S III Android handset, which features a 4.8-inch OLED screen, yet is even thinner than the current iPhone 4S.

"A thinner screen in the next iPhone could make the whole device slimmer, or make extra room available for other components such as batteries," the report reveals, which could be crucial if rumors that the handset will use 4G LTE data prove true.

"But in-cell touch screens are harder to manufacture than conventional LCD screens," the report continues. "The people familiar with the situation said that LCD makers are finding the manufacturing process challenging and time-consuming as they scramble to achieve high yield rates."

The next iPhone is widely expected to include a 4.0-inch display, which is made possible by elongating the vertical height of the handset.
