Every year, Google makes around 500-600 changes to their search engine. And every year, entrepreneurs, SEOs, and everyone else have to scramble to catch up with whatever they change. But now and then, Google shows us their hand. One such instance is with mobile-first indexing. Since 2016, Google has been experimenting with methods that will allow them …

In 2009, Farhan Thawar joined mobile development firm Xtreme Labs as VP of Engineering. At the time, it handled accounts for some of the biggest brands in the world — a roster including the largest social networks and popular sports organizations. And they all had one thing in common: They all sensed the urgency to break into mobile in a big way. This trend has borne itself out. Facebook reported last year that 78% of its daily users in the U.S. access the site from their phones. For Twitter, the figure is 75%, with mobile representing 65% of its ad revenues. Unfortunately, there are so many misconceptions around mobile development that many newer startups end up squandering time and money they simply can’t afford, says Thawar. Today he helms engineering for Pivotal Labs Canada following Xtreme’s acquisition, and after years observing what works and what doesn’t, he’s honed in on the top five myths that startups must bust to do mobile right.

"Here's a comparison that will have fanboys up in arms: the iPhone 5s vs. the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Both have rabid followings and are top smartphones for the fall of 2013. The iPhone brings the usual classy metal chassis, sharp and outdoor viewable Retina display and the giant App Store and iTunes ecosystems in tow. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the king of the phablets, particularly if you're looking for a super-sized smartphone with a digital pen."

"LG has just announced the availability of its latest incursion into the realm of Android tablets. The LG G Pad 8.3 will be hitting Korea starting next week, with a number of international markets to follow suit by the end of the year."
"Been wondering what LG was doing with that flexible display technology it showed off at SID? Apparently it was working on the G Flex, a 6-inch smartphone with a curved screen. The typically innominate "person familiar with the company's launch plans" told CNET the device will be announced in November.."

"The LG G2 is LG's flagship mainstream size (by Android standards) smartphone for fall 2013. It competes with the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, Moto X and iPhone 5s, and it does a fine job. While the shiny plastic back and simple front don't set it ahead of the classier competition from Apple, HTC and Nokia, the edge to edge 5.2" full HD IPS display does set it apart, as does the Qualcomm 800 CPU."

"Yesterday, Apple introduced its newest flagship smartphone, the iPhone 5S, which will be widely available on Sept. 20. Here's how it stacks up against Nokia's top contender, the Lumia 1020, which is available now in the U.S. and very soon in the U.K. and other markets."

No one can deny the rapid rate in which Mobile Commerce is growing.
A recent report from comScore showed that online retail spending had grown by 14% last year, while total consumer retail spending had only grown by single digits. At the moment, most online spending is still happening over desktop and laptop computers, but that is expected to change, and soon, according to recent data from the U.S. Census and other sources.
Mobile Online Spending is the Way of the Future.People might still be using their computers to buy online, but they won’t be for much longer. According to Digiday, commerce is one of the industries that will be most affected by growing mobile platforms. According to a forecast by Goldman Sachs, global e-commerce is expected to grow to $638 billion by 2018. Goldman also asserts that it will be tablets rather than smart phones that will be the primary source of online spending....

"You get what you pay for, and sometimes a bit more when it's a Google Nexus product. The new Nexus 5, based very loosely on the lovely LG G2 and made by LG, is a bargain of a phone though it's not perfect. The Nexus 5 has a 5 inch full HD IPS display, the latest generation Snapdragon 800 quad core CPU with Adreno 330 graphics, 2 gigs of RAM, LTE 4G on a host of bands, a front 1.3MP camera and a rear 8MP camera with LED flash."

"BLU Products has announced its latest in its Studio series, a 5.5″ no-contract phone pricing in at just $179—an extremely reasonable tag for such a huge screen. A respectable entry-level phone for the big-screen fans, the BLU Studio 5.5 is available in 80s neon yellow sports car, 80s lipstick pink, 80s ski boot blue, 80s chic faux leather white tablecloth, and this-century charcoal-for-poindexters (not the official color names.)"
