Facebook Pages Manager app, HTC phones skirt patents, Apple holds 7.9% of total phone market





Facebook has announced a new app for iPhone users called Pages Manager. The new app allows you to manage any pages for companies or people that you may have and apparently looks a lot like normal Facebook app with more specific tools for page management.

HTC smartphones in the United States are apparently circumventing Apple patents. Apple recently landed a big victory against HTC with the International Trade Commission finding that HTC Android phones were in fact infringing on a patent Apple holds having to do with context menus. HTC is already shipping new versions of those phones minus the menus that infringe getting around the patent and the ban.

According to recent data from Gartner, Apple now holds 7.9% of the entire phone market around the world with the iPhone. That puts Apple in third place for the largest phone maker in the world behind Samsung and Nokia.
