Hasta La Gadget!

It looks as though YouTube has gotten a small Web 2.0 makeover. As you can see in the before/after comparison above there are fewer tabs and they now have a glossy appearance to them (a.k.a. Web 2.0 style). Not only that but they brought the “Upload” link out of a tab and set it off to the side which makes it more prominent and easier for users to recognize.

I wonder if the person who did the nice graphics job is also the one that made the new maintenance page we were able to experience a few weeks back. I have to admit that was one of the best placeholders that I have ever seen for a website but the downtime was so brief that hardly anyone got the joy of seeing it.

I’m not a big YouTube user but I have looked around and haven’t noticed anything else that has changed. Have you noticed anything else different?

A stream of new Android smartphones have helped the Google designed operating system gain market share while rivals such as Apple and BlackBerry maker Research In Motion lost points, according to the latest mobile subscriber report from analytics company comScore.

Among smartphone platforms, Android OS grew to 17 percent share between May and July from 12 percent at the end of April. During the same period, RIM and Apple lost about 1.3 percent share.

The good news for RIM, though, is that it continues to lead among smartphone platforms with 39.9 percent market share, while Apple is firmly in the second place with 23.8 percent share. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile accounted for 11.8 percent of smartphone subscribers, while Palm rounded out the top five with 4.9 percent.

Android’s growth has been powered by a slew of new handsets that have launched in the last few months. HTC’s EVO 4G debuted on Sprint in June. A few weeks later, Motorola introduced its second generation Droid and Droid X on the Verizon Wireless network. Meanwhile, Samsung launched its Galaxy S range of smartphones. Last month, Samsung said it has shipped more than one million Galaxy S phones in 45 days since the devices hit retail stores in mid-July.

More than 20 Android phones are available in the U.S. currently.

Despite losing share to Google Android, most smartphone platforms continue to gain subscribers as the smartphone market overall continues to grow, says comScore.

Among all mobile handset manufacturers–including both smartphones and feature phones–Samsung ranked at the the top with 23.1 percent market share in the U.S. At the end of July, 234 million Americans used mobile devices. Of these, 53.4 million people have smartphones, up 11 percent from the end of April, says comScore.

We certainly weren’t expecting it, but we can now confirm that the Desire HD announced yesterday lacks any 3G for use in North America thanks to the FCC filing that just hit today. Frequently, we don’t know how HTC’s internal product codes map to unreleased devices, but by pure happenstance we got a shot of the Desire HD’s battery slot during our hands-on where we see that “PD98100” definitely lines up. What does this all mean? Well, it means that the EVO 4G seems poised to soldier on as HTC’s only 4.3-inch Android option for Americans in the near term, though there have been plenty of situations in the past where they’ve snuck in a second model code with 850 / 1900 on board. We’ll hold out hope, we suppose.
