The Signal: Visualizing Foursquare Check-ins

Check-in Time: INQ is adding the Foursquare location layer to its Cloud Touch phone. This will enable visualization of location content and access to all of the usual Foursquare features (check-ins, places nearby, tips, to do) without having to go through an app because it is directly built into the Android system.

Nokia Numbers: Looks like Nokia’s fall from grace continues: Nokia’s global market share has fallen to 25 percent, a low point it hasn’t seen since 1997. All the while, worldwide mobile device sales rose 19 percent year over year. Ouch, that must hurt, Nokia. All Things D

While the iPad is seen more as a men’s toy, the Nook (and e-readers in general) appeals more to the female market. NYT

Tablet Shoppers: According to the e-tailing group research, tablet owners research and shop online more that smartphone owners. If your business has an e-retail site, make sure it is optimized for tablets! eMarketer
