The next time a child is abducted near you, your cellphone may shriek to life with an alert message.
A new national Amber Alert system officially rolled out earlier this month to millions of cellphones, and because the alerts are automatically active on most newer phones, the messages have already taken tens of thousands of people by surprise.
The newly-expanded emergency alert system is an effort by FEMA to update the way it reaches people with new technologies, but local officials and others worry that the lack of public education and some initial stumbles may undermine the program's purpose, cases for iphone 5 especially when people are startled and annoyed and choose to opt out.
Lisa Rott was jolted from her sleep at 1:44 a.m. earlier this month in her Sarasota, Fla. home. A high-pitched tone sounded in spurts for about 10 seconds while her phone buzzed multiple times.
Initially Roth, 50, was worried something had happened to her elderly mother. Then she saw the message: "Emergency Alert: Amber Alert. An Amber Alert has been issued in your area. Please check local media."
"I thought it was spam," said Rott, who works for AT&T as a process engineer. And because her cellphone has a New Jersey number, she wasn't sure exactly where the alert originated. The next morning Rott searched online for both New Jersey and Florida incidents yielding one likely possibility — hours away from her home.
"What are we supposed to do?" Roth said. "They're not telling us what to do, they're not even telling us what to look for in our area."
Later that morning Rott called AT&T, her service provider, and asked them how to make the "worthless" messages stop.
Dozens of people have similarly taken to Facebook and Twitter to comment on being startled awake, scared by their phone's activity, and frustrated by the lack of information.
FEMA officials said they are aware of the confusion the Amber Alerts have caused and are working with the U.S. Department of Justice to include more information in the text messages.
"There's a very delicate balance between how much is enough and how much is too much," said Damon Penn, who oversees the FEMA emergency alerts system. "The big concern is over-alerting, and that's what we're focused on."
The federal agency requires people sending the alerts to be trained and to ensure that the alerts meet specific criteria. But officials are still working on trying to determine whether an alert should be sent out in the middle of the night, what information to provide, and how best to use the system, Penn said. The agency has started an education campaign, he said.
"My biggest concern is that people, if they don't understand what it means ... will opt out of the program," said Bob Hoever, a director at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. "And it's critical that we continue to have their participation."
The organization activates the messages seen on billboards and now cellphones once officials tell them an Amber Alert is necessary. Since the program's inception in 1996, Hoever said Amber Alerts have helped officials safely return at least 602 children.
So far, 19 Amber Alerts have been issued under this new system in 14 states including Texas, Ohio, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Arizona, according to figures kept by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
While no Amber Alert has been issued in California under the new system, authorities say it's only a matter of time and people need to know it's going to happen.
"I know this is not our system, but we're going to be receiving the phone calls when this goes off," said California Highway Patrol Capt. Greg Ferrero, California's Amber Alert coordinator.
Ferrero said he's seen the stir caused by the alerts when they caught people off guard in Florida and Texas, where four have already been issued. He said FEMA needs to tell the public about the system, and has sent in suggestions to improve the program such as providing people with details like the license plate or where the abduction occurred.
Los Angeles Police Department Det. Kevin Coffey trained local law enforcement officers on the alerts last week and found most were surprised by the new reach they already have.
"We've never had this ability," Coffey said. "We're going to have instantaneous connectivity with every person with a cellphone within our county and potentially multiple counties in the state."
Timothy Griffin, a professor of criminal justice at University of Nevada, Reno has studied Amber Alerts for the last eight years. He said he favors an Amber Alert system that's more targeted, but his research also questions whether the system's effectiveness has been oversold.
"Amber Alerts, in most cases, make no difference whatsoever," Griffin said. "Even when you look at ones where Ambee-hour difference" that the alerts are supposed to target. But he said he's hoping this system will prove him wrong.

Though mobility in business is not new, smartphones and tablets are newer, and mHealth is even younger.  Back in 2010, as healthcare organizations started to embrace mobility for both enhanced patient care and improving employee processes, mHealth was quite the buzzword. Mobile health would be the next evolution in healthcare.
While initially enterprises tried “reformatting the legacy system” to fit a smartphone or tablet, many, especially the end users, realized that the technology actually enabled much more.
The Ottawa Hospital, for example, winner of the 2012 Best In Enterprise Wide Mobility, deployed thousands of mobile devices to allow physicians more time with patients, instead of attending to paperwork. When doctors are able to review cases in real time, while with the person in question, not only can patient care be enhanced, but in some instances, life-saving.
In an interview with Mobile Enterprise, Michael Thomas, CEO, iSonea Limited, explained that the first “mHealth wave” actually started in 2008, with the standalone lifestyle apps that did not need FDA clearance.Then apps “took off” in general in 2010 and had a breakout year in 2012.
Just as apps were taking off, monitors themselves changed from just being functional to being attractive, in response to users who cared more about how devices looked, than with how accurate they performed.
2013 is poised to be a record year for both devices and apps, Thomas said, adding that we are now in stage two: chronic disease management.  And as has been seen in other industries, Replacement parts for iphone 5 consumer technology is driving what’s in the business. That’s particularly true in healthcare where the needs of the business and the patient often overlap and can be addressed through the same solution.
For its part in the evolution, iSonea plans on launching its AirSonea device for asthma patients in Q1 2014, in the United States, following a launch abroad this year. The company's AsthmaSense app is already availabe for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
The solution is able to detect the sound and determine the severity of the wheeze. Combining a mobile app and a device measuring about four and a half inches long, one that is “smaller than the Samsung Galaxy,” the system is based on the constant collectivity of data sent to the cloud, where information is analyzed via algorithms. If the user’s risk profile is high, he or she is issued an alert.
The old fashioned way of determining asthma used to be a doctor and a stethoscope, Thomas said, usually when wheezing was already imminent in a patient seeking help. And of course, a doc was not around 24/7 to monitor.
Traditional healthcare also used to cost 10s to 100s of millions to develop and commercialize solutions, a massive investment that has to be justified, Thomas said. Now, with apps and wearable devices, it’s nowhere near the investment needed, and can go to market far more quickly because the reimbursement, insurance company and doctor promotion process is eliminated.
With HIPAA regulations calling for “stringent management and digitalization of patient records,” mHealth has its work cut out but is clearly what the end-user demands.
“Where does this thing go? It’s hard to say because healthcare is different than the typical consumer-based approach,” said Thomas. Patients are notorious for not being able to adhere to a doctor’s prescribed plan, for example.  
Additionally, many healthcare organizations find initial resistance on the employee side to system changes. Earlier this year, in a roundtable discussion with Mobile Enterprise, Joe DeChow, Manager, IS Infrastructure at Munson Medical Center, discussed trying to implement a BYOD policy in his organization — up against legacy devices.
“Since we are a hospital, we are one of the institutions that still heavily uses traditional pagers," he said. "We foresee the need to migrate to other devices, and often to a personally owned one, over the next few years."
This presents an unusual dilemma somewhat unique to his industry. The users are more concerned with actually turning off while off.
“I have found a number of folks who don’t want to give up their pager in favor of the company provided cell phone for text messages (pages) from the hospital. They feel that they can turn the pager off when they aren’t on call or at work, but the phone is their personal device too. People in this ‘business’ want to have control of their personal time, which seems to be contrary to some other industries where people want more and more connectivity and always be reachable,” he says.

The Defense Department may be a small player in the global mobile device market, but its clout with companies like Google and Apple is rising.
Not because these companies are driven by the promise of big federal business. Rather, by meeting DoD security standards, companies see an opportunity to expand their business into other security-conscious sectors.
“If they can get to our level of security, then they can market out to the corporate world for health, banking [and] financial, ... and you’re starting to see that,” said Greg Youst, mobility lead for the Defense Information Systems Agency, at a cybersecurity event last month.
“The drivers for these devices ... is the commercial market,” Youst said. “We’re a drop in the bucket.” But “the market is listening to us,” he said. “Industry is coming to us.”
In sit-down meetings with Defense officials, these companies are asking how they can build devices and operating systems that meet department standards. DoD began talks with Samsung more than a year ago and gave the company guidelines for developing its Android-based Samsung KNOX, Youst said. Samsung KNOX devices were approved for department use in May.
Android-based smartphones make up 80 percent of the global market share, cellphone cases, according to data released last week by research firm Strategy Analytics.
But that business is largely driven by consumers not large organizations like federal agencies, banks and hospitals. In a recent overview document about its KNOX product, Samsung cited a 2012 Gartner survey that found less than 10 percent of organizations planned on buying Android devices in the following year because of a “perceived lack of security.”
Samsung is playing up the fact that it submitted KNOX to the government for a compliance review “to enable its use in government and other highly regulated enterprise environments” like health care and finance.
KNOX includes security features developed by the National Security Agency that can separate data and apps on the phone into different domains to contain damage caused by a malicious or flawed app.
Youst said he was contacted by Google and given a week to create a wish list of DoD’s mobile security needs; he has had similar discussions with Apple about security.
“I went nuts,” he said of the Google conversation. He worked with the military services to develop a wish list, which included security requirements for verifying a user’s identity before the user can access a device. “How do we make sure that you are who you are?” he said.
Apple also has taken steps to meet federal security standards. Apple’s iOS 6 operating system meets National Institute of Standards and Technology standards required to encrypt data on mobile devices used in government. This is often referred to as Federal Information Processing Standards certification.
“In many ways, security is migrating from a post-award cost to a competitive advantage,” for companies, said George Holland, a vice president at Juniper Networks.
While DoD is reaping the benefits of security features being built into mobile devices, these upgrades haven’t solved all of the department’s mobile problems.
One of DoD’s main challenges today is that the only way to verify the identity of its mobile users is with a Common Access Card and an additional device that can hold the CAC card in place, connect the card to the device and allow users to access the device. DoD is exploring options for storing the digital identities found on CAC cards inside smartphones on a Subscriber Identity Module card or microSD card or other secure locations that vary depending on the mobile device, said Ben Andreas, vice president of sales for security software company Intercede. Companies like Intercede are working with DoD to explore secure and standard ways of doing this.
For now, DoD is testing solutions from companies like Precise Biometrics. The company builds cases that double as a smart card reader and fingerprint scanner for such devices as the iPhone and iPad. It, too, is hoping other industries will follow suit and use smart card technology like DoD.
“It’s a business decision,” Youst said. Companies have to decide: “Is it worth it to add that additional cost in the production line” to meet government standards.
When it comes to supporting CAC cards for mobile devices, “a lot of us are finding it hard to apply that particular technology outside just the DoD,” said Tom Simmons, area vice president for Citrix U.S. Public Sector. “We don’t see a lot of private-sector companies that embrace CAC authentication for mobile.”
Citrix has a software solution that allows mobile users to securely access documents and office apps from any device. It allows DoD to enforce the use of CAC cards, but DoD is now exploring alternatives to using the physical card.
“As we build business cases to support these kinds of standards and certifications, a good portion of the business case is based on how we can repeat that or apply that technology to the private sector,” Simmons said.

The Cyber Crime Investigation Cell (CCIC) of the city crime branch on Saturday arrested a 32-year-old Dombivli resident for allegedly creating a fake e-mail ID of a bank official and setting up her fake profile on an explicit photograph website of models. The police traced him through the IP address, which was found to be of his residence.
According to the police, the 28-year-old victim lives with her family in Wadala (East). She has been working as a portfolio manager with a private bank in Bandra-Kurla Complex since January 2013.
 
A CCIC officer said, “In July 2012, through her colleagues, she found out that someone has been chatting with them and others claiming to be her through the e-mail ID. Since then, till March 2013, at least four people had sent messages to the victim on Facebook asking if she was the one who has been chatting with them from that e-mail.”
 
In April 2013,cellphone cases when the victim was surfing online, she was shocked to find her name connected to the link of a website that contained explicit photograph of models.
 
“On surfing the website, she found her profile on it. It also contained her Facebook photographs, her name and age. Her profile stated that she is into modelling and is looking for guidance on doing nude photography. The profile’s ‘About Me’ section contained two photographs. Her face was morphed on to semi-nude photographs of some other women,” the officer said.
 
The victim learnt that the fake profile was being used for chatting by an unknown person who created e-mail ID. She then approached the CCIC in July this year and lodged a complaint.
 
“The physical address of the IP address of the e-mail ID was traced to Karkhanis’s residence. He is known to the victim. He was then placed under arrest and booked under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act. We are investigating from where Karkhanis got photographs of the victim morphed,” the officer said.
 
“Through that e-mail ID, he had been chatting with unknown men and sharing her morphed obscene photographs. We have seized two computer hard disks, two dongles and one mobile phone from him and are investigating the case further.”
“That information is, by and large, of a highly personal nature: photographs, videos, written and audio messages (text, email and voicemail), contacts, calendar appointments, web search and browsing history, purchases and financial and medical records,” Judge Norman H. Stahl of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit wrote recently. “It is the kind of information one would previously have stored in one’s home.”
Stahl wrote for the majority in a 2 to 1 decision that applied the Fourth Amendment to the search of a cellphone found on a man arrested for selling drugs. The amendment protects “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”
In most cases, a warrant is required. But the Supreme Court has said there are numerous exceptions to that general rule. In particular, in what courts refer to as “search incident to arrest,” a warrantless search is justified when officers are protecting themselves by looking for weapons or securing evidence that might be destroyed.
And justices in the past have been lenient about allowing searches of items found on a person who has been legally arrested.
But Stahl and fellow Judge Kermit V. Lipez disagreed with the government’s contention that a cellphone is “indistinguishable from other kinds of personal possessions, like a cigarette package, wallet, pager or address book, that fall within the search incident to arrest exception” approved by the Supreme Court.

Bystanders who called 911 after a commuter bus hit a pole that fell onto a stroller, killing an 8-month-old, wondered why the emergency response took so long.
One woman is heard saying: "The ambulance just got there. It took so long."
One man said at least five or six minutes elapsed and there was no doctor or ambulance. Another said about 10 minutes had elapsed.
A spokesman for the Hudson County Sheriff's Office told the newspaper an ambulance responded within nine minutes.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A northern New Jersey sheriff plans to crack down on commuter buses, he said Thursday, days after a driver hit a light pole that toppled onto a stroller, killing an 8-month-old.
Hudson County Sheriff Frank X. Schillari ordered a "massive crackdown" on the buses, telling deputies to conduct random stops to ensure the operators have proper insurance and the drivers' licenses are valid.
Schillari said officers will also sit on major thoroughfares and watch to ensure bus drivers obey traffic laws and are not using cellphones. The buses are operated by private companies and ferry commuters from the heavily congested suburbs of northern New Jersey into New York City.
There have been cases where insurance papers and licenses have been fraudulent, Schillari said. He said the bus companies need to conduct better checks of their drivers.
The announcement came after the first court appearance for Idowu Daramola. Authorities say he was using a cellphone when his bus veered off a city street in West New York on Tuesday and struck a pole that fell onto a stroller. Eight-month-old Angelie Paredes was killed.
Daramola was being held on $250,000 bail. He is charged with death by auto, reckless driving and using a cellphone while operating a vehicle. Schillari said speed is also a factor in the case.
Daramola did not enter a plea. He said he has been unable to obtain a lawyer because the jail phone was unable to make outgoing calls.
Daramola has been charged with a number of traffic infractions over the past few years, including speeding, improperly letting off passengers,samsung cases  failure to stop at a stop sign and running a red light.
Schillari said an arrest warrant was issued in February 2012 after Daramola failed to appear in court on one of the charges. Two additional warrants were issued this year after Daramola again failed to appear in court.
Schillari said Daramola, who lives in Queens, "slipped through the system," and it may have happened because Daramola lives and has a valid driver's license in New York.
"This tragedy could have been averted," Schillari said. "I think it's ludicrous that he was still driving. But we're going to try to prevent such accidents in Hudson County from here on in."

Video surveillance and Crimestopper tips led to the arrest Wednesday of Jacob Richter-Shea, 18, of the 800 block of West Clark Street in Champaign and Frederick Young, 18, of Sterling Court in Savoy, according to UI Police Sgt. Tom Geis.
UI police put out an alert earlier this week about two suspects involved in a brazen theft of an iPad at the Illini Union on Sunday right in front of the crime victim. Security cameras captured video of the suspects at various locations around the Illini Union before and after the incident.
The crime alert, which contained detailed descriptions and links to the video, led to several Crimestoppers tips, and police were able to identify the two men, Geis said.
Police obtained a search warrant and checked Young's Savoy apartment Tuesday but didn't find the two suspects or any stolen merchandise, Geis said. Detectives continued surveillance and returned to the apartment complex Wednesday, where they arrested Richter-Shea and Young as they were leaving, Geis said.
Both men were arrested for robbery and are scheduled to appear at an arraignment hearing Thursday afternoon, he said. They were being held in the Champaign County Jail on Wednesday evening.
Another woman in the car was arrested for driving while suspended, but it was unrelated to the recent thefts, Geis said.
Through interviews with the suspects, detectives found links to eight to 10 other thefts, burglaries or robberies in the Campustown area, including one at a Champaign apartment, Geis said.
Police have recovered some of the stolen cellphones through electronics resale shops in the community and are continuing to look for other merchandise that was taken, Geis said.
University police are continuing to investigate in conjunction with the Champaign Police Department.
Most of the victims were UI students, but Young and Richter-Shea are not, Geis said.
In Sunday's theft at the Union, a man asked a woman sitting at a table for the time, and when she looked at her watch the man grabbed her iPad off the table and ran away, police said. He was seen on security cameras running out the southwest doors of the Union and placing the iPad in the backpack of a second suspect.
After the crime alert was posted, another woman recognized the two men as the same pair who had been talking to her around the time she realized her cellphone was missing, Geis said. Her phone had been in a slot in her backpack.
He advised students to "keep your property close to you, watch out for people who are suspicious, and if a situation doesn't feel right, get yourself out of there and call the police."
A B.C. trucker used to animal sighting is still having a hard time believing what he saw on a logging road south of Prince George,cases for iphone 5 even with photographic evidence.
On Monday, one load into the day, Juan Huidoboro thought the driver up ahead who radioed him about an emu on the road was joking around.
The emu stopped right in front of his truck, and Huidoboro snapped two pictures with his cellphone camera before the bird calmly meandering off the road and up the hill.
Huidoboro says there are farms in the area, but he doesn't know of any that keep the long-legged, flightless, Australian-native birds.
Later in the day, Huidoboro spotted a man riding around on a quad, towing a trailer, looking for the bird. Huidoboro assumes the man is the bird's caretaker, but isn't sure. Huidoboro says some of the other truckers he works with are concerned for the bird's welfare.
"Fortunately, at this time of year, there's lots of berries and stuff out, so it's probably eating, walking around picking berries here and there," he said.
"We're just concerned that it might be someone else's dinner by now, because there's lots of coyotes out here, lots of wolves, the occasional cougar we see."

On computer and cellphone screens in workplaces across the country, many young employees keep up daylong conversations with their parents, sharing what the weather is like, what they ate for lunch or what the boss just said about their work.
The running chatter with Mom or Dad is possible for young adults in their 20s and early 30s because they are the first generation to hit the workforce with tech-savvy parents. Most baby boomers are using the same smartphones, tablets and laptops as their children, making daily communication with Mom easier and more open-ended than ever.
Chatting, or texting, is a subtler way to stay in touch from a cubicle than a phone call. As long as the computer's sound effects are on mute, samsung cases,chatting is silent. It is as simple as opening a Web application such as Google Hangout (the chat interface is known as "Gchat"), Facebook or iChat—all free—and selecting someone from a list of online contacts. In most applications, a chat window will pop up on screen. Depending on where you work and how far away from the boss you sit, you may choose to minimize or hide it.
Before he and his mother started chatting, Mr. Embry often wasn't able to talk when she called him on the phone at work. Her regular missed calls to his cellphone were a source of frustration for both. One day, Mr. Embry saw his mother's name among his Gchat contacts, because she was one of his frequent email contacts and she had logged in to check her Gmail account. He sent her a chat message suggesting that they try online chatting instead of the phone.
Family therapists say it's important to establish boundaries. Mothers who feel the urge to chat too often are probably transferring their own anxieties onto their adult children. "If you feel like there's a bug in your ear, then it's too much," says Karen Ruskin, a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Sharon, Mass., who specializes in family communication. She says the frequency and intensity of texts and chatting with parents is a common issue among 20-somethings and their families.
Dr. Ruskin encourages young adults to engage their parents in a conversation—preferably on the phone or in person—about ways to keep in touch that work for both of them. As a last resort, she says, the young adult might agree to check in by chat or text with a parent a set number of times a week, limiting messaging at other times.
Messaging—instead of calling—their parents makes sense since, as a group, millennials aren't big on talking on the phone. In recent years, customers in their 20s and 30s have gravitated to prepaid wireless plans offering minimal voice minutes but unlimited texting and data, cellphone-service providers say.
Fathers, of course, text and chat with their adult children. But most of millennials' workplace chatting seems to occur with their mothers. Among boomers, mothers are still more likely than fathers either not to work or to work part-time, says Meg Jay, a Charlottesville, Va., clinical psychologist and author of "The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now." Combined with women's tendency to be more verbal and relationship-oriented than men, Dr. Jay says, "all that adds up to more chatting."
Joyce Snyder, 55, who lives in Clarksville, Pa., uses different strategies for checking in with each of her two adult children. She is friends on Facebook with her daughter, Stephanie, a 25-year-old multimedia developer at Kent State University in Ohio, and typically reaches her via Facebook chat. If she wants to reach her son, James, a 22-year-old investment assistant in Pittsburgh, she'll send a text. "I kind of know when to back off," she says. Mr. Snyder says he figures his mother initiates their chats 80% to 90% of the time.
During breaks at her restaurant job in Kennewick, Wash., Cassaundra Excell, 20, often texts her mother, to share jokes and photos and even talk philosophy.
Sometimes, Ms. Excell texts her mother about an issue with a friend or co-worker that is unfolding in real time. "I'll text her, 'So-and-so is mean to me, or doesn't like me,' or 'I'm stressed about this,' " she says. In those cases, her mother, Tamra Excell, 41, an administrator at a private online school who lives in Benton City, Wash., says she tries to act as a "sounding board" to help her daughter identify possible courses of action.

The DUI case against a lawyer for radio shock jock Todd "MJ" Schnitt will be dismissed after an investigation concluded there was evidence of a possible setup by lawyers for Bubba the Love Sponge Clem and Tampa Police.
Charles Phillip Campbell Jr., represented Schnitt during his doomed defamation case against fellow radio bad boy, Clem, earlier this year. One evening after court during the trial over the lawsuit, Campbell was drinking at Malio's Steakhouse. Schnitt's attorneys said a woman Campbell didn't know was a legal assistant in the office of Adams and Diaco, a law firm representing Clem, bought Campbell at least one drink then asked Campbell to move her car.
A lawyer in the Diaco firm, Adam Filthaut, cellphone cases,alerted a friend in the Tampa Police Department that Campbell had been drinking at Malio's and would be driving home, police testified.
Schnitt's legal team said Campbell was set up by Clem's attorneys. Clem's legal team said it had done nothing improper.
The DUI case is being handled by the Pinellas County State Attorney's Office because Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober's office had a conflict of interest.
The FBI has also said it was investigating whether Campell's civil rights were violated.
Investigators will "analyze all of the facts related to this matter and follow the evidence to a logical conclusion to determine if any federal laws have been violated," said FBI special agent Dave Couvertier in May.
The FBI has seized the cellphone from the police officer who pulled Campbell over in January.
"The Tampa Police Department is working with the FBI in its investigation to determine if there was any wrongdoing in the arrest of Phil Campbell in January of this year," Castor said in a statement.
"The DUI sergeant turned over his cellphone as part of the investigation. TPD holds its officers to very high standards and it will assist the FBI in a thorough investigation to ensure the integrity of the police department."
As for what happened in the defamation case, Clem, who had called Schnitt a "midget" and Schnitt's wife a "whore" on the air, was exonerated.
Jurors took less than three hours to deliver a verdict in Clem's favor and against Schnitt, who had filed the defamation suit against his rival.
Samsung's history and corporate culture could hardly be more different than Apple's, the iconic Silicon Valley start-up founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976. Lee Byung-Chull started Samsung in 1938 as a noodle and sugar maker. It grew over the decades into an industrial powerhouse, or chaebol as Koreans call the family owned conglomerates that dominate the nation's economy and are run with military-like discipline.
Apple, by contrast, became the epitome of Californian cool, an image the company revels in. That hip image translates in China - its stores are routinely packed - but hasn't been enough to overcome the more entrenched Samsung.
A stuffy electronics bazaar in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen illustrates part of the reason why.
Samsung Galaxys and Apple iPhones of different generations sit side by side, glinting under bright display lights as vendors call out to get customers' attention. With its varied models, Samsung smartphones outnumber iPhones at least four to one.
While Apple releases only one smartphone a year, priced at the premium end of the market, Samsung brings out multiple models annually with different specifications and at different price points in China.
And those models, analysts say, are loaded with features tailored specifically for the local market: apps such POCO.cn, the most popular photo sharing site in China, or the two slots for SIM cards (Apple offers one), which allows service from multiple cell carriers, either at home or abroad.
"The Chinese just love features. They want their phone to have 50 different things that they're never going to use," said Michael Clendenin, managing director of technology consultancy RedTech Advisors. "Apple just doesn't play that game. Unfortunately, if you want to hit the mainstream market in China, and you want a lot of market share percentage points, you have to offer the Swiss army knife of cellphones."
Analysts believe Samsung's increasing strength in China is a critical reason behind its rival's possible intention to introduce globally a new and cheaper iPhone model, as well as one with bigger screens - a staple of Samsung's offerings.
A Samsung executive with experience in China told Reuters "We definitely think we're setting the pace there. They are having to respond to us."
Most audaciously, Samsung has gone after Apple not simply by offering lower priced smartphones, but by attacking its rival directly in the pricier end of the market. "We put a lot of emphasis on the high end market in China," co-CEO J.K. Shin told Reuters in an interview.

Some people drop them. Others leave their mobile phone on the roof of the car and drive off. Or they slip the device into a purse or pocket — and miss.
Whatever the cause, smartphones with cracked screens seem to be nearly as common as cellphones themselves. The phenomenon — particularly frequent among the glass-cased iPhones — has prompted repair services to mushroom at mall kiosks, computer shops and college campuses.
Over the course of a year, nearly a third of iPhone users damaged their device, according to the results of a survey released last September by SquareTrade, which sells protection plans for electronics.Owners spent $6 billion in the previous six years to repair or replace phones that had been cracked, dropped, kicked, waterlogged or otherwise damaged.
And it’s not just the iPhone. Consumers have spent well over $7 billion on damaged Android phones since 2007, SquareTrade said in April.
“It’s not a malfunction. It’s not the product’s fault. It’s the klutz in us," said Jessica Hoffman, a spokeswoman for SquareTrade, which she said covers accidental or lifestyle damage,cases for iphone 5 such as “my son threw it in the bathtub" or “my pet tripped over the power cord."
At some shops, screen repairs on certain iPhone models start at $70, a cheaper alternative than buying a new one, which can cost $400 or more.
Apple discourages consumers from going anywhere other than an Apple store or Apple-authorized center to avoid voiding warranties. New iPhones come with a one-year warranty that covers two incidents of accidental damage, for a $49 fee each time. Consumers can pay $99 to extend that warranty for an additional year, again to cover two accidents for a $49 fee each time. Once warranties expire, repairs to damaged screens run from $149 to $299, depending on the model.
In March, iFix2Go set up a kiosk in a corridor at Towson (Md.) Town Center mall, where technician Kendal Robinson fixes some of the more than 100 phones and tablets that come in for screen repair each month.
“There’s high demand because a lot of people are ineligible for a (phone) upgrade, and they don’t want to pay the substantial fee for a new device," Robinson said. “This is an option to get it repaired and reuse the same device."
Consumers who drop off an iPhone 4 at the iFix2Go kiosk can expect to pay $100 for a new screen and get the phone back in an hour or less. A screen on an iPhone 3G costs $50.
A subsidiary of GreenLoop IT Inc., a technology company with businesses that extend the life of IT equipment, iFix2Go repairs iPhones, iPads and iPods in one hour or less.
The kiosks have been opening in shopping malls, train stations and business conference centers. The company said its seven kiosks in four states repair more than 1,000 devices a day.
Robinson said he has seen it all, including the customer who left an iPad on top of her car then ran over it.
In a case like that, he said, “it’s fixable but not guaranteed to be fixed."
Even when a cellphone is cracked but in working order, “it can be complicated," Robinson said. “It is time-consuming. You have to tear down the phone, meaning take off all the parts that make the phone work."
Those who tend to damage the fragile iPhones the most — teens and college students — are often the least able to afford a repair or replacement. They are looking for low-cost alternatives.
That was the market Harrison Baum went after when he started on Campus Repairs at the University of Maryland-College Park more than a year ago.
“Whoops. You dropped your iPhone," the service’s website says. “That’s cool though, we can fix that! Actually, we kinda like doing it."
Baum, a senior economics major, describes himself as a tech “nerd" with a knack for taking apart and rebuilding devices.

The world's largest technology company said Tuesday that profit fell 22 percent as gross margins slid below 37 percent from more than 42 percent in the year-ago quarter.
The iPhone's solid showing eased concerns that growing competition is hurting demand for Apple's top-selling product as the global smartphone market matures. Rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, which overtook Apple to become the world's largest smartphone maker in 2012, fueled those fears when it issued a disappointing earnings forecast earlier this month.
Apple's stock, which has fallen 20 percent since January, rose 5 percent to $437.94 in after-hours trade. It closed at $418.99 on Nasdaq.
"The iPhone number should provide some comfort to investors who were worried about smartphone demand. That's one of the reasons the stock is up. Expectations were not strong for this quarter," said Shannon Cross of Cross Research.
The company sold 31.2 million iPhones last quarter - far more than the estimated 26 million - and 14.6 million iPads.
Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said in an interview that iPhone sales rose 51 percent in the United States from a year earlier, and 66 percent in Japan.
But revenue from greater China - an increasingly crucial market for the Silicon Valley giant as it strives for growth - dived 43 percent from the second quarter and 14 percent from the year-ago period.
Executives blamed China's slowing economy for the revenue decline but did not elaborate.
"China is a huge opportunity for Apple," Chief Executive Tim Cook said on a conference call. "I don't get discouraged over a 90-day kind of cycle."
Apple earned $6.9 billion, or $7.47 a share, on revenue of $35.3 billion. That compared with a profit of $8.8 billion, or $9.32 a share, on revenue of about $35 billion in the year-ago quarter.

Given the fact that most of the rumours related to smartphones and upcoming gadgets generally turn true, we may see new iPhone in October with a bigger screen size.
Technology giant Apple's iPhone series has been extremely successful and it revolutionised the way people used smartphones. Apple is known for testing new designs, updating its existing gadgets and launching new products at regular intervals.
