43-Percent of Smartphone Purchases Are Android-Based, Android Share Still Growing Exponentially
Nielsen has published their latest findings, this time October 2009-December 2010. Just as expected, Android is growing, and growing fast. Currently in a dead heat with both Apple and RIM, Android holds 27-percent of the current market
share.
You can see from the graph above that Android truly is skyrocketing in operating system share. RIM’s Blackberry OS has been on the decline and Apple’s iOS has been relatively steady, but once you look at Android you see a jump from just 2-percent to now 27-percent in just over a year’s time.
Also worth noting, Android is beginning to see adoption more quickly than any other mobile OS. According to the Nielsen report, 43-percent of smartphone purchases are Android-based.
2010 was an amazing year for the Android platform, and with all of the impressive devices to launch this year, along with the huge 4G push, we expect to Android completely dominate the market here soon.

HELSINKI (Reuters) – Google’s Android dethroned Nokia’s Symbian as the most popular smartphone platform in the last quarter of 2010, ending a reign that began with the birth of the industry 10 years ago.
Research firm Canalys said on Monday phone makers sold a total of 32.9 million Android-equipped phones in the last quarter, compared with Symbian’s total sales of 31 million. The landmark piles pressure on Nokia as it struggles to reassert itself at the top end of the mobile handsets market.
Following Apple’s 2007 entrance into smartphones, Google rolled out its open-source Android operating system, which has become the standard for smaller phone makers.
Hit models from Samsung Electronics, HTC and LG Electronics helped Android in the quarter, while Symbian suffered from troubles of its owner and main user, Nokia.
“We have seen some strong products from a number of vendors,” said Canalys analyst Tim Shepherd.

The Efficiency Of Keyword Filtering
The Efficiency of Keyword Filtering
Keyword filtering differs from the normal approach used by Internet filtering software. What most internet filtering software products do is compile a huge list of internet pages and then categorize them. Then, they proxy the traffic through their own network, they compare the request to their huge list of sites (which are generally cached) and then they decide whether to block or not, based on the rules set up by the user. The basic issue with this method is that it is conceptually flawed in a couple of ways. The first is that there are millions of web pages built every day. So their database and cache needs to keep growing exponentially, and to infinity. And it can’t possibly include every page that exists. The second inherent flaw that it is generally overkill. If you look at people’s actual web surfing habits, they visit a handful of sites on a regular basis. Let’s say most people visit 10 domains per day. Also, most people visit the most popular sites. Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Baidu, etc. Maybe 100 sites that are mostly visited, and then the top 100,000 sites get the lions share of the visits. This cuts down the number of actual sites to block by a large factor. Which leads me to the original topic, keyword blocking. For the purpose of keyword blocking, let’s use pornography blocking as target category. Generally speaking, the top 1000 porn sites are going to contain about 100 or so common keywords. I won’t mention them, it’s embarrassing, and we know what those words are. These keywords are contained in the URL structure, in the meta keywords, and in the page titles. So, if you block the 100 top keywords in the three main areas they are contained, you are going to cut out porn pages in the high 90 percentile range. Yes, the most dedicated, driven, and enthusiastic porn surfers may find the odd, obscure site which does not contain a porn keyword. But the task is made much more difficult if they are searching on a smart phone. So the point of this discussion is that keyword blocking is as effective as proxy/list blocking, and it removes the necessity of compiling the infinite list of every website. A much more efficient way of blocking, and also removing the need to proxy to an outside cache.

How Bloqer Differs From Other Android Filters
This article will explain the fundamental design approach we’ve taken to differentiated Bloqer from other internet filtering programs that may be out there.
Bloqer is a local proxy
Other filters are external proxies
What does that mean?
A local proxy, like Bloqer, does the filtering locally on the device which it is installed.
An external proxy re-routes all of your traffic to another server, and the filtering rules are applied there. The external proxy then re-routes your traffic back to your device. These are usually paid subscription services.
Why do you care? There are a couple of reasons. The first is a privacy issue. Most external proxies cache and keep logs of your web use, so they have access to all of your private data. The other concern is cost, generally speaking, external proxies are paid services. You have to pay a monthly fee for them to route your traffic. Another concern is what is coming back with your re-routing? Most paid proxy services are secure, but you are still subject to the doubt.
So some of the advantages of Bloqer are that you never have to worry about where your traffic is going because it all stays on the device, and goes via your normal service providers. It is simply not something you ever need to think about. The other most obvious advantage is that Bloqer is free. You never have to pay charge for the use of the application, and there are not the associated costs of external proxies.
Join the forum discussion on this post The Purpose of Bloqer
The basic purpose of Bloqer
With Bloqer, you can give an Android Smart Phone to your kid or an employee, and not worry about where they are surfing the web.
Bloqer is designed to provide free, easy, and effective internet filtering for Android devices.
The purpose of Bloqer is to provide a free internet filter for Android devices that resides entirely on the device. In other words, users can get internet filtering without having to subscribe to a service (usually paid) which routes traffic to a central proxy. The Bloqer internet filter is entirely standalone on the device.
The idea for Bloqer came about with the realization that there is no free, fast, and easy way to prevent children or employees from any type of surfing on the web. You can have all the filters, devices, subscriptions you want at home or in the office, but the glaring loophole is smart devices.
Bloqer is a way of closing this loophole. You can hand an Android SmartPhone to your kid or an employee, and not worry about where they are surfing the web.

Blacklisting Websites with Bloqer
The blacklist is the list of keywords to be blocked. The keyword can be contained in the website URL, the website title, or the website meta keywords.
For instance, to block http://www.facebook.com it is not necessary to type in the full web address. You only have to type in a keyword from the web address, “facebook” (without the quotes).
Keep in mind, this will also block anything with the word facebook in the title, url, or meta keywords. For instance entering the word “facebook” will block http://www.example.com/facebook. So, to keep more precision, you can block “facebook.com”. That will block all urls from the facebook domain, but not overblock other domains and keywords.
