• March 2013 - DCEmu Turns 9 Years Old and Still Going Strong

    Its Now March 2013 and DCEmu the Homebrew & Gaming Network is now 9 Years old. I actually started the sites back in 2002 but joined them under the DCEmu name back in 2004 when the site was foremost a Dreamcast Site, since then we have expanded and cover all homebrew scenes as new consoles come into play. To make sure the site gets back to what it does best i have merged the discussion forums and unmerged all the news forums, which for everyone makes for a better reading experiance, no one wants to search for PS2 news on a PS3 merged news forum because it takes ages to find it. Also this month we have launched new sites for PS4, GCW Zero and also an Open Source Handhelds website. Thanks for visiting DCEmu and please join in the discussion and remember if you are a coder then you can upload to our forum instead of using crappy internet upload sites.
  • Eight out of ten smartphones shipped are Android or iOS

    IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker said Android contributed 59 per cent and iOS 23 per cent of the 152.3 million smartphones shipped in 1Q12.
    That's 82 per cent – a big rise on the combined share of 54.4 per cent they had in 1Q11. And miserable news for the once mighty RIM/Symbian and the wannabe WinPho.
    Symbian slipped from 26.4m shipments to 10.4m, while RIM went from 13.9m to 9.6m. For all its efforts WinPho could only rise from 2.2m to 3.3m. Interestingly, at 3.5m, more Linux devices shipped than WinPho.
    "The popularity of Android and iOS stems from a combination of factors that the competition has struggled to keep up with," said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC's Mobile Phone Technology and Trends program.
    "Neither Android nor iOS were the first to market with some of these features, but the way they made the smartphone experience intuitive and seamless has quickly earned a massive following."
