Today's Story Highlights

Smartphone Sales Sag in China
China experienced the first-ever downturn in its smartphone market in
the second quarter of 2015, and it was enough to drag global sales to a
two-year low, Gartner Research said Thursday. The rest of the Asia
Pacific smartphone market saw substantial growth in the quarter. iOS
snatched a tad of market share -- about 2.4 percent -- from the other
mobile operating systems.

Wireless Performance Studies and You
It appears both AT&T Mobility and Sprint deserve congratulations on
their great performances, based on two just-released studies on the
wireless wars. J.D. Power and RootMetrics revealed some interesting and
surprising new information on this changing marketplace. For the fifth
time, AT&T won first place with J.D. Power. For its part, Sprint showed
significant performance improvement over the last year.

Back to School
It felt like back to school this week at the CRM Evolution show in hot
and muggy New York. The first week or two of the school year is always
like that. Though it still feels like summer vacation, you know you have
to get focused, because the first exam will be here before you know it.
Cramming begins almost immediately, because there seem to be a lot of
new ideas percolating.
