Android 4.4 to be called KitKat; Android activations top one billion

Gimme a break, Google. Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.

The tech giant, which is known for nick-naming its Android mobile operating systems for smartphones and tablets after desserts, has for the first time chosen a brand-name candy for version 4.4 that's expected to launch this fall: Kit Kat, the chocolate candy bar with the well-known "Gimme a Break" jingle. Kit Kat packaging will show Android's green robot mascot breaking a Kit Kat bar.

Financial terms weren't disclosed for the sweet deal between Google and Hershey Co., which makes Kit Kat. But the deal shows that naming a stadium or sponsoring a TV show can be seen as old school. The latest marketing craze may be to slap a brand name on a tech product.

Google approached Hershey about six to nine months ago for permission to use the name, said Jennifer Podhajsky, vice president of U.S. chocolate at Hershey, which licenses the Kit Kat brand in the U.S., while Nestle owns the worldwide brand.

Podhajsky said that Kit Kat's jingle is a good fit for people taking a break to look at their smartphones or tablets. She added that the deal appeals to Hershey because Android hits the sweet spot of Kit Kat eaters, who are typically between the ages of 18 and 34.

"Kit Kat consumers are young, vibrant consumers of candy and chocolate bars, and that's a nice match with Android," Podhajsky said.

The Kit Kat name was unexpected since tech pundits have speculated for months that the next operating system would be called Key Lime Pie. Marc Vanlerberghe, director of Android Marketing, said the name was chosen because Kit Kat bars have been a "favorite go-to snack among the team since the early days of Android."

The Android 4.4 Kit Kat system is expected to launch in October.

The software is now running on more than 1 billion smartphones and tablets throughout the world, making it the world's most widely used mobile operating system, Android chief Sundar Pichai revealed on Twitter.

Apple sends invites for September 10 special event, new iPhones expected

After a flurry of rumours, we now have official confirmation from Apple that it's hosting a special event on September 10 in San Francisco, where it's expected to announce two new iPhones and the final version of iOS 7, the next iteration of its mobile OS.

Apple has started sending invites for the special event according to a number of Apple-focused publications including Jim Dalrymple's The Loop. The event will be held at Apple's Cupertino headquarters and will start at 10am Pacific Time. 

The picture accompanying the invite features a White Apple logo surrounded with circles in different colours, in line with the colourful new UI of iOS 7 and perhaps representing the colourful shells of the iPhone 5C, the alleged budget iPhone. The image is marked by a 'This should brighten everyone's day' message.

A number of rumours including some by credible publications and journalists such as AllThingsD and Jim Dalrymple, had confirmed September 10 as the most probable date for Apple hosting a special event to announce the next generation iPhone, iPhone 5S and the low cost iPhone, iPhone 5C.

The iPhone 5S is expected to come with a brand new Apple chip, the A7, alongside 1GB of LPDDR3 RAM, retaining the form factor of the iPhone 5. A 128GB storage variant of the phone has also been rumoured. The iPhone 5S is likely to come with a larger f2.0 aperture compared to the iPhone 5, that comes with f2.4 aperture. It's also likely to sport a fingerprint reader.

The low-cost iPhone or iPhone 5C has leaked several times. Alleged pictures of the iPhone 5C have revealed a plastic polycarbonate body back panel in White, Blue, Red, Yellow and Green colours, a round camera lens and LED flash, Apple logo and iPhone branding. It's expected to be powered by a dual-core CPU, and have a 4-inch screen, just like the iPhone 5, with a resolution of 640x1136 pixels. The iPhone 5C is rumoured to have 1GB of RAM, and come in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage variants. It'a also likely to sport an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.2-megapixel front facing camera camera and run iOS 7 complete with Siri which would be available in English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish.

The iPhone is usually made available to the public in major markets including US, Canada, France, Japan, Hong Kong, UK, and Singapore, around a week after the official announcement. Rumours have indicated that Apple will start selling the iPhone starting September 20.

Microsoft to slash prices of Nokia Lumia smartphones as it targets India as one of the main growth markets

The deal will make Microsoft a hardware-software-services player and better position it to take on its aggressive global and local rivals.

 NEW DELHI: Microsoft Corp's dramatic acquisition of Nokia's global cellphone business will result in a reduction in prices of Lumia handsets in most markets, including India, next year, possibly altering the dynamics of the country's fast-growing smartphone segment, say analysts.

Microsoft early Tuesday morning (India time) said it would buy Finland-based Nokia's phone business and license its patents for over $7 billion, in a last-ditch attempt to compete in the mobile handset market dominated globally by Apple and Samsung.

The deal will make Microsoft a hardware-software-services player and better position it to take on its aggressive global and local rivals, say analysts and industry executives. They add that India, where only about 10% of the 870 million mobile phone users own smartphones, could be a key growth market for the Redmond-headquartered company.

But, some also feel that Microsoft may focus exclusively on smartphones, and exit the feature phone segment, which accounts for more than 90% of India's handsets.

Rajiv Kaul, a former managing director at Microsoft India, told ET that the deal would imply that goodquality devices would flow in at lower prices into the Indian market. Device costs could go down by $30-40 (approx Rs 2,040-2,720) a handset, he said. "Much like Google Nexus phones of comparable specifications are cheaper by $30-40 and in some cases even $100 (Rs 6,800) than rivals."

Nick Spencer, senior practice director, ABI Research, a New Yorkbased market research firm, said prices of the entry-level Nokia Lumia 520 could almost halve to less than $100 in some months from the time the deal closes in the first quarter of 2014.

If this plays out, some say domestic players such as Micromax, Karbonn and Lava, and even South Korea's Samsung, which have left Nokia way behind in the smartphone sweepstakes in India, could get pulled into a price war in the segment. Nokia 520 costs about Rs 9,200 in India while domestic handset makers such as Micromax, Karbonn and Lava sell phones with similar specifications starting at around at Rs 3,500. Samsung prices its entrylevel smartphone at around Rs 5,000.

A significant reduction in the price of Nokia devices could stir up the market and force its competitors to retaliate. BlackBerry, which doesn't have any phone in the sub-Rs 6,000 range, too could be hurt by a potential price churn at the lower end of the smartphone segment.

A BlackBerry executive declined comment. "A preloaded software on a device, economies of scale, greater investment in product development that clearly wasn't happening in Nokia's case, and consolidated distribution channel together will help drive handset costs down," said Prashant Singhal of Ernst & Young. Analysts broadly concur that Microsoft would likely reduce prices only to the extent arising out of operational efficiencies. But, one can't rule out heavy price cuts if the company decides to get aggressive in customer acquisitions, especially in emerging markets like India.

Lava co-founder Hari OmBSE 0.00 % Rai, however, said a price war was unlikely. "Microsoft phones will be cheaper than the current models they (Nokia) have, but only marginally, as the cost of hardware is almost same for all players." Marketers say given Nokia's laggard image, it might be a challenge for Lumia phones to give their rivals a run for their money.

Nokia sells 12 Lumia models in India at different price points, with the most expensive model costing Rs 33,000. While this range of phones witnessed huge growth globally when it was launched in December 2011, it has not been a big hit in India so far. Nokia ceded its leadership position in India to Samsung in the last fiscal ended March 2013, after dominating the market since its entry in 1995. 

From a peak market share of over 70%, the Finnish handset maker's share fell to 27% in 2013. But its decline started a few years ago when it was caught unawares by the 'dual-SIM handset' revolution and was late to respond with its own offerings. Spencer from ABI Research said the fallout of the latest deal could be that Microsoft moves the Nokia business out of feature phones to focus on smartphones. India is Nokia's second-largest market and is at present dominated by feature phones, which account for a bulk of the Finnish company's sales as well. 

Any move out of the feature phone market — one that still accounts for 90% of the overall handset market in India — will present an opportunity for other local as well as Asian feature phone makers. 

At the same time, India's underpenetrated and fast-growing smartphone market will be an attractive proposition for Microsoft. Consultancy firm McKinsey estimates that the next over 200 million Internet users in India are likely to be on wireless mobile devices by 2015. "There's a huge untapped smartphone market in emerging economies from India, Asia, Africa to Latin America," said Katyayan Gupta, mobility analyst, Asia-Pacific, Forrester Research. Nokia owns a manufacturing facility in Chennai, where it makes mainly its feature phones but no smartphones. 

A recent media report said the company in June wrote to the Indian government, complaining that it could shut down manufacturing in the country as it had become the "least favourable market" and that the "political risk" of operating in India may impact its future investment decisions. The report suggested that Nokia, one of India's top handset maker by sales, is upset that it wasn't getting the value-added-tax refunds it was promised for 10 years for setting up the plant in an SEZ in Tamil Nadu.

Metal stocks outscore IT with scorching gains

BSE Metal index surged 20% in the past month against a 5% decline in the Sensex, besides edging ahead of the IT index which rose 5% during the same period.

Tata SteelBSE 1.97 % has emerged as the top gainer among metal stocks, rising 40% in the past month as its European operations performed better. "Europe is showing signs of recovery while rupee depreciation is aiding to protect margins in slowing India, helping put a bottom to Tata Steel's earnings," said a recent note by Macquarie. Indian stocks have, in fact, even outpaced their global rivals during the past month.

Stock prices of Tata Steel's global rivals Posco, Nippon and JFE Holding have fallen between 2% and 5% in this period. HindalcoBSE 3.26 % gained 22% in the past month, outperforming its rivals BHP Billiton (gained 2.5%) and Alcoa (fell by 3%).

China's steel production also picked up in July to 6.2%, boosting global crude steel production for the month by 2.7% to 132 million tonnes. With rupee depreciating by 20% against the dollar in the past three months, the fear of higher imports has subsided as domestic prices are at a discount to imported landed prices.

"We see an improvement in the global economy with PMI indices of euro zone showing expansion along with other major economies," said Ashish Kejriwal, analyst at Elara Capital. "The improvement in demand helps steel producers to pass on the rise in raw material prices and maintain gross margins."

Next Android mobile software version will be called 'KitKat'

Google is enticing people with chances to win Android-powered Nexus 7 tablets or credit at its online Play shop by buying KitKat candy bars.

Google on Tuesday said the next version ofAndroid will be called "KitKat" in keeping with its penchant for giving tasty names to its software for powering mobile devices. 

"Since these devices make our lives so sweet, each Android version is named after a dessert," the California-based technology titan said in a blog post. 

"As everyone finds it difficult to stay away from chocolate we decided to name the next version of Android after one of our favorite chocolate treats." 

The list of Android software names over the years includes Cupcake, Donut, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean. 

In a promotion deal, Google is enticing people with chances to win Android-powered Nexus 7 tablets or credit at its online Play shop by buying KitKat candy bars featuring Android robot icons on wrappers. 

Android software powers more than a billion smartphones or tablets worldwide, according to Google. 

Smartphones powered by Google's Android software increased their global market share as iPhones lost ground in the absence of new models being unleashed by Apple, the International Data Corporation reported last month. 

Android's share of the smartphone market grew to 79.3 percent in the second quarter while that of iPhone slipped to 13.2 percent from 16.6 percent in the same three-month period last year, according to IDC figures. 

Apple is "well positioned" to recapture market share with the release later this year of a new iPhone and the next-generation iOS mobile operating system, according to IDC mobile phone research team manager Ramon Llamas. 

Apple on Tuesday sent out invitations to a September 10 event at its California headquarters where new iPhones models were expected to be unveiled. 

KitKat is a chocolate-covered wafer created by British-based Rowntree's, now produced worldwide by Nestle

5 ways SMEs can beat big companies to attract top talent

The adage ‘size does matters’ holds true when it comes to attracting top talent. How do small organisations survive this war for talent? Read on!

The adage ‘size does matters’ holds true when it comes to attracting top talent. As large (read well known brands) organisations can easily attract and hire top talent in their respective sectors, hiring managers or business owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have to fight for the same talent. How do small organisations survive this war for talent?

Brand the Benefits

Fat pay package, heavy annual perks and bigger brand names are not the only determining factors anymore. In fact, employees experience more job satisfaction in smaller firms as they feel valued and appreciated for their individual contribution to the growth and success of the company, highlights Sampatkumar B Aratti, vice president and chief human resources officer, Lapp India.

Advantages of working in small organisations such as flexibility, deeper engagement with the team and the leadership, engaging culture can be presented to the talent that the organisation wants to attract and hire, Aratti adds.

According to Satindra Sen, co-founder & director, Exper Executive Education, what employees truly value in small organisations is getting to lead and own objectives that not only galvanise the organisation forward but also gives them a deep sense of individual fulfillment.

Tell a story

According to Mitali Bose, director and practice leader – Building Effective organizations, Hay Group India, “To attract big talent for small organisations – business heads must create a ‘compelling value proposition’. And the starting point for this is clarity of vision in the mind of the business owner.”

Bose gives the example of her previous employer, “I once worked with a small organisation where the business head was able to put together a bright, talent pool of individuals – because he was so clear in communicating his vision for the business and the role that each one was expected to contribute to the journey. In essence, the head of the organisation needs to ‘build a compelling case for specific job opportunities’ – in order to attract talent that is more concerned with making an impact rather than the monetary or brand value of the job.”

This employee proposition has to be backed by ‘follow through’ – the business head must follow up on the promise made to the employee, to ensure that the talent continues to subscribe to the vision.

‘There is a dearth of seasoned professionals for global positions’

Interview of the Day: ‘There is a dearth of seasoned professionals for global positions’

Suraj Narain, Head – Talent Acquisition, eClerx Services Limited talks about the challenge of hiring for global positions

According to our data, nearly 80% organisations find it difficult to hire talent for global positions. Why?

Yes, hiring for positions which have a global role is extremely difficult. In the current context when there is a slowdown in the US and European markets, the impact is being felt across. Global roles demand a very different set of skills which requires one to deal with economics, cultural diversities and dynamics in business. Hence there is dearth for seasoned professionals who come with all round exposure and experience in dealing with complexity required for global positions.

What are some of the key challenges faced while hiring talent for global positions?

• Not enough agencies who specialise in this area
• Laws around no-poach and non-solicitation makes a lot of desired professionals out of reach for various companies.
• Global professionals are frequently travelling and hence it is not easy to get time-slots from them.

What are the ways and means to tackle these challenges?

The approach has to be multi-fold. There has to be focus on breeding these professionals in-house. Nurturing talent and creating schools of knowledge can lead to developing the existing employees to take on global roles.

Campus hiring is a big opportunity to mitigate the talent gap. There are several reputed Indian and global institutes who have their campuses world-wide and encourage exchange programs. There are offerings around mid to senior level management courses which can be tapped into.

Which are the skills that make a candidate suited for an international position?

• Most important is to have an eye on world markets, look at how an industry vertical is throwing up opportunities and creating growth. Finding a niche in such an environment is important as ‘general skills’ rarely qualify for such roles. Some of the emerging sectors are around predictive modeling, robotics, mobility, pharma, provider side of healthcare business, e-commerce and retail.
• An MBA degree is always desirable and one can even try for some short stints in the form of projects or exchange program abroad.
• Learning or knowledge of foreign language is an added advantage.

What recruitment practices do you generally use to hire globally competent resources?

• Social media based hiring. Platforms such as Linkedin, twitter and Facebook are very useful.  We also partner with boutique search firms to reach out to talent across various pockets.
• We focus on psychometric profiling and assess the learning aptitude of all applicants. We also generate a lot of leads through references from out database.

Foods you shouldn't eat daily

Foods you shouldn't eat daily (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images)

While you may be making the utmost effort to eat healthy for the majority of your day, it is possible that there are the small daily mistakes you maybe making in your diet, which makeweight loss, or weight management more difficult and a slower process than it should be. 

Sometimes it is these innocuous morsels of food that make a big difference when it comes to proper weight management. So what are these foods in your daily diet that you should avoid? 

1. Glass of milk - While milk is a healthy addition to your meals, it could possibly be the one food that is hindering your progress. If you are used to having a glass of milk before you sleep, at breakfast, or even for a snack in the evening, take a break from drinking milk for a month. If you feel that its making a difference - making you less sluggish, helping you lose weight, clearing up your skin etc - this maybe the solution to your problems. Give it a go. 

2. Something sweet after meals - Many people have this habit of wanting just a little something sweet after every meal. This is absolutely unnecessary and you probably know it. Just that addition of sugar after your meals is worth cutting down on if you have it on a daily basis. Let dessert be a treat you save for the weekends and you will probably savour it more. 

3. Heavy carbs for your evening snack - How often have you felt so hungry in the time between your lunch and dinner, that you can eat anything without giving a thought as to whether it is right for you or not? You may land up knocking off a sandwich or a samosa. This may be the only unhealthy addition to your diet in the entire day, but consumed daily, this evening snack could be hindering your efforts. Therefore, carry something that has healthy proteins and fats like nuts, with you so that you don't succumb to hunger. 

4. Potatoes - Recently dubbed by a study conducted by Harvard, as one of the foods that definitely makes you gain weight over time, potatoes have a way of turning up in our daily food unannounced. You maybe eating a healthy sabzi but a whole potato may have been added in there to improve the flavour. Fresh veggies taste good on their own if you try, so give it a shot. 

5. So called 'healthy snacks' - Baked chakris and chips, all of these so called healthy snacks, should be substituted with real nutritious food. Many people eat these unaccounted, thinking they are healthy and will not make a big difference to their health and weight. This is a misconception and you are better off without these highly processed snacks.

West Indies agree to tour India in November

The tour was proposed by the BCCI's working committee in a meeting on Sunday and would precede India's trip to South Africa in December. (TOI Photo)

ST JOHN'S (Antigua): The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) on Wednesday accepted India's invitation for a series in November which would allow senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar to play his milestone 200th Test in front of home fans. 

"The West Indies Cricket Board today confirmed that the West Indies team will tour India in November. The tour will include a two Test series and three one-day internationals. TheWICB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India agreed to utilise the mutually available window in November for the tour," the WICB said in a statement.

Tendulkar has played 198 Tests so far and the second Test of this series would take him to one of the several milestones he has touched in a glittering career. 

For the West Indies, the Indian tour will precede the trip to New Zealand which is scheduled to commence on December 3 and conclude on January 15 next year.

BlackBerry landing page featuring BBM for iPhone and Android spotted online

BlackBerry has been working on bringing its popular messaging service, BlackBerry Messenger, to the iOS and Android platforms for a while now. The cross platform version of the messaging service was expected to be rolled out by summer and it appears that we're finally close to its launch.

Recently, a landing page dedicated to BBM surfaced on the official site of the company, claiming that the BBM service has arrived for both, Android and Apple platforms. The dedicated page for the service said, "BBM for Android and iPhone is here."

However, the landing page was pulled later and has been replaced with a launch page that says, "BBM is coming to Android and iPhone" and includes an option to get notified when the service launches through an email prompt.

Engadget notes that, the BBM service landing page hinted that the service is just about ready to be launched and the page can reappear anytime. It is worth pointing out that the landing page that has now been removed showed iPhone instead of iOS, which hints that the BBM service may be rolled out to iPhone users initially and an iPad app might not be in the works.

Earlier, BlackBerry Messenger for Android was spotted online with some users reportedly receiving invites for the same. The report claimed that BBM for Android would be rolled out in the not-too-distant future. A screenshot revealed that users would be able to sign-in to BlackBerry Messenger with their BlackBerry ID.

In a recent development, Samsung had announced that the BBM app would be available on the company's app store, preloaded on the Galaxy series of Android devices, and on the Google Play Store, across the African continent.

Samsung Galaxy Note III release pegged for September 27

With Samsung's supposed September 4 Galaxy Note III unveiling event just a week away, now we hear rumours about the expected release dates for the device in various markets.

A new report claims that the Galaxy Note III will reportedly go on sale on September 27 in the Taiwanese market, while the device will be up for pre-orders from September 16.

The news comes from the Taiwanese site ePrice which cites its sources and claims that the dates of pre-orders and launch may be changed; however the site does not expect major changes in the roll out of the device in Taiwan.

Earlier, a Samsung official had confirmed that the company will be unveiling the next-generation Galaxy Note device and the long-rumoured Galaxy Gear smart watch on September 4. There have been reports that suggested that the South Korean major may start shipping the Galaxy Note III in September itself. An earlier report had indicated the likely shipping date of the latest Note device to be from week 36, which is from September 2 to September 8.

Recently, a new set of leaked images of the alleged Galaxy Note III screen surfaced online, that suggested that the next Galaxy Note device will feature a 5.68-inch display.

Other rumoured specifications include a full-HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels, quad-core Snapdragon 800/ Exynos octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM. The internal storage capacity is expected to start from 32GB, instead of 16GB as has been the norm with flagship devices. It is also said to sport a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 3,200mAh battery, and run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
