Fritz Lanman’s ‘Livestar’ Launching Soon, To Fill The Gap Between Foursquare And Yelp

Screen Shot 2012-06-15 at 4.19.18 PMIt's been a little over a year and a half since we wrote about Fritz Lanman's departure from Microsoft, to build his own startup called "5Star." Well, now we're hearing that his startup, actually called Livestar, is going to launch soon, judging by a demo video posted on Lanman's Facebook page. As early as next week even. Since our initial article, Lanman, a former Microsoft and Yahoo deals guy, has made some pretty savvy angel investments, most notably getting in early on Pinterest and Square. And now he's ready to focus on his own project.

Hardware Accessory Maker PCH International Acquires Design-Centric Lime Lab

Screen Shot 2012-06-15 at 5.34.14 PMYou may have never heard of PCH International. But this Irish company makes packaging and accessories for some of the most iconic hardware products in the world. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink! They make cases, chargers, docks and earphones, among other accessories. They also create those whizz-bang unboxing experiences for many of the world's best-known hardware makers, but they can't disclose who their clients are. Now the company just picked up Silicon Valley design consultancy Lime Lab to bolster its product development know-how. Lime Lab was co-founded by former Ideo director Andre Yousefi and former Design Within Reach director and Apple manager Kurt Dammermann.

Samsung, Apple Walk Away With 90 Percent Of Smartphone Profits In Q1 2012, Says ABI Research

dollar-signDespite the rapid growth of the smartphone market (41 percent YOY, to be exact), Samsung and Apple are the only smartphone makers really enjoying this growth. Combined, they took home 55 percent of global smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2012. More importantly, they're walking away with 90 percent of the market's profits. Surprisingly, however, Samsung and Sony were the only OEMs to see any sequential growth in shipments. Even more surprising, RIM (of all companies) is set to surpass Nokia, despite the fact that both companies saw a decrease in shipments, 20 percent and 40 percent respectively.

Rdio for Android updated with bug fixes and stability improvements

Rdio As much as I love using Rdio for my music, their Android app has become a small pain in my side. It seems as though everyday brings a new build and often times creates more bugs then it fixes. With that out of the way, I still think it's a great service and the latest update to the app does note bug fixes and stability improvements namely, the player freezing which was a huge issue on the last build. If you're using Rdio and have experienced issues with crashes or the player freezing, give the latest build a go as it is now available for download from the Google Play Store.
