Apple Watch Trumps All Other Smartwatches In Market Share: Two-Thirds Of All Shipments

Canalys market research has revealed the top four most purchased smartwatches of 2015. Thanks to a huge boost in demand, Apple bested its rivals and got the first place by securing two-thirds of the global market share.

A market analysis report shows that when comparing the myriad of smartwatches and wearables on the market, it was the Apple Watch that dominated the past year.

Canalys, an independent analyst company, delivered its smartwatch report for 2015, and figures show that Apple not only outclassed its rivals, but its own sales predictions, as well.

According to the report, 12 million smartwatches from Apple reached their buyers during 2015. That is 5 million more than the initial prediction of 7 million Apple Watch units in November 2015. The market analysis company identifies the reason for the surge in demand.

The number of smartwatches purchased last year was about 18 million, meaning that Apple got 66 percent of the market with its 12 million sold devices. To make the iPhone developer even more badass, know that Apple Watch entered the arena in April 2015, with a four month delay behind other manufacturers which rolled out their smartwatches as early as January.

The runner-ups for the best sold smartwatch came from Samsung, Pebble and Huawei. The Gear 2 fared better in sales than its previous variants, keeping Samsung in the second place. Third position went to Pebble, and fourth to Huawei.

It remains to be seen whether or not the new Apple Watch models set to launch in March, and the Apple Watch 2,rumored to arrive this September, would be able to keep the company's sales as high as last year.

Firefox For Android Passes 100 Million Downloads In The Google Play Store Google's mobile version of Chrome has become the de facto standard browser for Android, but never let it be said that it's the only option. Mozilla Firefox, which predates Chrome on both desktop platforms and Android , has been downloaded from the Play Store 100 million times. Mozilla decided to toast the occasion on its official blog . Aside from the obvious user interface differences, the Android version of Firefox has gradually added compelling features like integration with synced Mozilla services (which are a godsend if you use the desktop browser as your primary web interface), extra user-accessible tools like a fullscreen switch, customized search engines, and add-ons that expand the base app's functionality. Though detailed download information isn't posted to the Play Store, it's probably second only to Chrome (and the original AOSP browser in markets like Chi
