And today's feature phone or basic handset will become history in the crowd of smartphones. Market research and survey firm Ovam analyzed these data.
According to Ovum's analysis, smartphone sales will increase by 21 percent to 1.7 billion by 2017. And in 2017, 77 percent of the world's handsets will be smartphones. The popularity of smartphones will gradually reduce the use of feature phones. By 2017, feature phones will almost sink or reach extinction.

Search engine Bing will share in Google
Microsoft's search engine Bing has launched a new approach to take a share of the search engine market monopolized by Google. Bing, which is currently second in the search engine market, has increased its involvement with Facebook and other social media. Microsoft's online division has lost more than $6 billion since Bing launched three years ago. However, analysts believe that Microsoft will not give up to consolidate its position in the lucrative online search market. The new look Bing has changed the screen design. Frequently searched topics related to the user's search are displayed on the left in the form of suggestions. A new feature called snapshot column has been added. With this, placing the mouse cursor on the search result will show a few weblinks to the right of it. It usually provides map, booking or review-like weblinks. Through these the user can get desired results in nominal time. While logged in to the social network, the user can suggest a search or ask something to his listed friends. For this, social media links can be seen on the right side of the screen.
Bing's failure cost Microsoft $500 million in online business every quarter. Therefore, analysts believe that Microsoft is taking initiative to increase the effectiveness of Bing to compete with Google. They said that the dominance of Google in search engine totalitarianism is appearing as a threat to Microsoft in some cases. Google's mobile operating system Android is seen as a threat to Microsoft's mobile platform Windows Phone. After launching services in June 2009, Microsoft Bing held 8 percent of the US online search market, while rivals Google and Yahoo Search held 65 and 20 percent, respectively. Since then, Bing's share has increased to 15 percent. Yahoo's failure played a greater role in this than Bing's success. Yahoo's share fell to 14 percent. And Google is at the top with 66 percent possession.
In 2010, Microsoft entered into an agreement with Yahoo regarding the search engine. The deal means Yahoo's search is actually run through Bing. In this the two companies share advertising revenue. Apart from this, in the last 2 years, Facebook has taken advantage of the good relationship with Facebook. But it could not affect the reign of Google. Microsoft in 2007
Buys 1.6 percent of Facebook shares in exchange for 24 million dollars. All the features of the new Bing to challenge Google will be launched from next month. Microsoft will also promote television and internet advertisements for this. Lisa Garry, senior director at Bing, said it's a big change. We are going to surprise millions of people. This is fundamental change in online search. For details on Bing's changes, visit www.bing.com/new.
