Samsung is estimated to have sold 215 million smartphones in 2012 according to Strategy Analytics, and they say that number is only going to go up.

HTC’s CEO: “The worst has probably passed. 2013 will not be too bad.”

HTC isn’t exactly in the best shape. Their stock price is off by 80% compared to its peak in 2010, the launch of the Sensation is 2011 was a train wreck, and while the One X was a great phone when it was announced in early 2012, Samsung’s Galaxy S3 stole all that device’s thunder when it came out during the summer months. So what’s the company going to do to turn things around? The first step is to admit that you’ve hit your bottom. HTC’s CEO, Peter Chou, spoke to The Wall Street Journal today about the performance of the company, and he said:

Just earlier today we told you that the Galaxy S4 will make an appearance at CES 2013, at least behind closed doors, and now we’re going to show you a first leaked press image of the device.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 will be at CES next week, but behind closed doors

The big boys, and we’re talking HTC and Samsung here, typically wait till either Mobile World Congress in February, or they simply host their own event so they can get as much press attention as possible.

Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to be demoed at CES, but will it end up in 2013 devices?

Chances are you’ve heard about Gorilla Glass, the product that Corning makes so that handset manufactures can create devices that don’t break when you drop them, but did you know that the first smartphone to use Gorilla Glass was the 2007 iPhone? These days, you can find Gorilla Glass in a majority of devices on store shelves. When Corning announced their Q3 2012 financial results back in October, they said there were over 1 billion devices using Gorilla Glass on the market. That’s not an insignificant number.

Following behind these two behemoths are the others like HTC, Motorola, and LG who are all lagging with decreased sales. There is a similar situation in the platform area as well. Android is the most preferred operating system with iOS reluctantly settling for the second place.

FTC will not bring charges against Google in antitrust investigation

Earlier today, the FTC wrapped up a 19-month investigation of Google’s business practices (which we have covered extensively), agreeing not to bring charges against the company. There is a catch, however.
While the FTC voted 5-0 to end the investigation into Google’s search without further action, it was slightly harsher with regard to patents. The vote was 4-1 to end the investigation, but with a consent decree from Google. Google will make two changes it describes as voluntary, though they will be enforced by the FTC:

Court finds Amazon’s Appstore innocent of false advertising

More news from the legal front-lines, this time regarding Apple’s claim that Amazon’s use of the term “Appstore” constitutes false advertising.
Having originally tried to sue Amazon over the use of the name Appstore, Apple recently threw another lawsuit onto the pile by claiming that the company is also guilty of false advertising.
