ComScore: Facebook Is Now the Most Used Mobile App in US

Seth Fiegerman10 hours ago

Facebook is the most popular mobile app in the U.S. in terms of unique users — at least for now.
The signature Facebook app passed Google Maps in October of last year to become the most used mobile app in the U.S. and held onto the top spot through the end of the year, according to data released Wednesday by comScore Mobile Metrix.
Facebook's app enjoyed strong growth in 2012 with 85.5 million monthly unique users in the U.S. in December across iOS, Android and RIM's mobile platforms, up from just under 65 million in March, when comScore first started tracking mobile app data. (In October, Facebook reported 604 million monthly mobile users worldwide.) Google Maps, on the other hand, saw its active user numbers dip from about 80 million in August and September to a little more than 70 million in October after it was removed as a default app on iOS 6.
"Both Google Maps and Facebook were growing nicely throughout the year until that happened," Andrew Lipsman, VP of industry analysis at comScore, told Mashable. "Facebook continued that trend and Google Maps took a dip that one month and now it's climbing back." Google launched a new Maps app for iOS 6 in mid-December, and Lipsman says it's likely Maps will grow its user numbers at a faster rate going forward, though it's unclear whether and when the app will return to the top spot.

ComScore's mobile app data is based on browsing behavior tracks from a panel of users as well as supplemental data from publishers showing app usage. The numbers represent active visitors to apps — rather than app downloads — similar to the way that comScore tracks visitors to websites.
While Facebook currently held the top spot at the end of the year, Google had the next five most used apps, including Google Maps, Gmail and YouTube. Lipsman credited this to the growth of Android and the popularity of Google services in general.

Aside from having the largest audience, Facebook's app also has by far the highest level of engagement. According to comScore, Facebook's app accounted for 23% of time spent on mobile apps while all of Google's apps collectively account for 10% of time spent.

Turn Your Windows 8 Laptop Into a Touchscreen Device With This Gadget

Samantha MurphyJan 07, 2013

LAS VEGAS — Want to turn your laptop or desktop running Windows 8 into a touchscreen device? Accessory company Targus announced on Monday morning at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas a first-of-its kind technology that makes the most of the latest Windows operating system, without the need to splurge for a pricey new computer that touts the company's built-in touchscreen capabilities.
Windows 8 — which launched in October and was designed for touch — allows users to swipe, slide and access a full collection of features via your finger. But because of the cost of new hardware, many Microsoft fans upgraded to Windows 8 without buying an expensive touch-screen PC. Now, the Targus Touch Pen aims to give anyone using Windows 8 on older hardware the touch experience, with the help of a stylus.
"Windows 8 is designed for touch, so if you have a current laptop and your device isn't capability for touch [sic], it lessens the value," Al Giazzon, VP of marketing and communications at Targus, told Mashable. "We put together a new product that turns current computers into a touchscreen device that supports Windows 8. It's easy to use, cheaper and is smaller than the size of your thumb."
Here's how it works: A small receiver attaches to the side of the laptop screen and communicates with the black Touch Pen via a cable that connects to a USB port, so your laptop thinks it has a touchscreen. The Touch Pen acts like your finger would on a touchscreen, and the screen is protected with the stylus' soft tip. (Note: It doesn't work with an actual finger because it doesn't use either capacitive or optical touch tech).

"Anything you can do with a touch-screen device, you can now do with a laptop or desktop," Giazzon said. "It also works with a laptop you bought years ago."
Even better, the Touch Pen doesn't require software or drivers, and only a one-time calibration is needed to set up the device and determine the measurements of the screen. It works with any computer with Windows 8 and monitors up to 17 inches (so larger all-in-ones are out). Meanwhile, the company said it patented the technology that simulates the touch experience with a stylus for Windows 8 devices, which may ward off other manufacturers looking to get into the space.
The Touch Pen will ship later this month and be available via Targus.com and various retailers, including Best Buy and Amazon.

4 Data-Driven Models for Mobile Developers in 2013

Apps have become a staple of the smartphone era, but what role will they play in the near future?  In its latest report, Expertmaker says wearable tech, better privacy and embedded intelligence are the factors that mobile developers will have to take into account in order to differentiate their apps in the coming years.

“Mobile technology has come a long way in the past few years,” said Lars Hard, founding CTO of Expertmaker. The entrepreneur dropped by at last week’s AnDevCon after having previously been at the Vodafone AI Hackaton. “Mobile devices now have extensive capabilities. In addition to analyzing digital content, mobile devices can harness ambient data such as temperature, location, user movements, schedule, user habits and engagement. Developers need to be able to leverage these new capabilities and sources of data to create more advanced apps.”

The firm, which offers developers a modular artificial intelligence toolset they can incorporate into their software, sees a lot of premise in the kind of technology Google brought into the public eye with Project Glass. Expertmaker considers gadgets that are “worn rather than carried” an opportunity for smarter apps that run on smaller screens.

The second trend the company lists concerns the opt-in applications that usually rely on location data to deliver content.  Expertmaker says that in the future mobile developers will leverage AI in to eliminate the need for this information, eliminating many privacy and security threats.

The third trend follows the same train of thought: the likes of Facebook and Twitter will have to develop better algorithms in order to ensure their users’ data is not misused.

The final trend that the firm lists is AI- and big data-driven customization. The latter is already happening, but not all mobile developers have access to the proper tools – such as artificial intelligence – to make sense of their info.
