Microsoft Surface isn't selling very well That is judging by the web traffic generated by the device

Chitika has come up with a new report that shows just how insignificant the sales of the Microsoft Surface RT have been, at least judging by the web traffic generated by the device.

Chitika has measured that for the period between November 12 and November 18, the Microsoft Surface RT has accounted for just 0.13% of all web traffic generated by tablets in the US. Now, on one hand, that sure is one very discouraging figure, but on the other, the device hasn't really been available for too long. The combined share of Google's Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, which stands at 0.91%, is currently much bigger, but it's really not much more significant if we look at the bigger picture. In comparison, the iPad is said to be responsible for 88% of all tablet web traffic in the US.

Of course, having in mind the short period observed by Chitika makes us think that the research might not be entirely trustworthy, but it's a fact that there's still a long road ahead of Google, let alone Microsoft in the tablet race. Who knows, maybe people are waiting for the Surface Pro?

New BlackBerry Messenger 7 update adds BBM Voice Text and talk live at the same time

The week got off to a good start for BlackBerry users Monday as the company announced they'll finally be able to chat with each other for free with the latest update to BlackBerry Messenger. Teased last month in the BBM 7 beta, the new feature allows users to strike up a conversation with any of their BlackBerry Messenger contacts, provided they're connected to a Wi-Fi signal.

Additionally, the new voice chat feature still allows users to talk via text while chatting, which lets users enclose pictures or private statements they don't want heard aloud. BBM 7 will also include the ability to voice chat while using other aspects of the phone, such as checking emails or reading other text messages.

Samsung teases 7 more Galaxy S3 Premium Suite features

After revealing Premium Suite features included in the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Note 10.1 late last month, Samsung is now giving a peek at what Galaxy S3 owners can expect when their update finally arrives. Galaxy S3 Premium Suite features coming soon to Samsung's flagship smartphone, including multi-window views, Page Buddy, Contextual Menu and Facebook Lock Ticker. In total, the Premium Suite upgrade for the Galaxy S3 will introduce 14 major new features as well as bug fixes and other improvements.

What's coming

With part two, Samsung primarily focused on Paper Artist for spicing up images, Low Light Shot for taking pictures in dark places and Best Face, which uses content from five different shots to create a single, blink-free photo. Accessibility options such as Easy Mode will make transitioning from a feature phone to a smartphone painless for novices, while Sound Balance allows users to favor one audio channel over another when using earphones. Samsung made it clear that availability and timing of the Premium Suite upgrade varies by country and mobile carrier so for now, owners will have to exercise patience until their turn arrives.
