Last week, when I finally received my Surface, I was in a position to sit down and write a comment piece on what I thought the device was like and what it meant. I've been using Windows 8 full time since March, so I didn't feel I needed to get to know the operating system. What I was really looking for was how well the desktop experience translated into the tablet experience presented by Surface. I downloaded apps that I was familiar with, two of them being Metrotwit and Tweetro. Both of these apps on the desktop perform well. (I have some niggles about the UX, mostly because the Metro/previously-different-named design aesthetic makes it difficult to build apps that put the user's first.)

U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM) said it will sell some of its major Midwestern markets and spectrum to Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) for $480 million as it seeks to streamline its operations. The Tier 2 carrier made the announcement in conjunction with its third-quarter earnings, in which it reported a modest gain in subscribers. U.S. Cellular also said that it will cut the majority of its retail, engineering and business support workers, or about 1,000 jobs, after the deal closes. As part of the deal, U.S. Cellular will offload its Chicago, St. Louis, central Illinois and three other Midwest markets to Sprint. The deal includes a transfer of PCS spectrum and around 585,000 customers, or about 10 percent of U.S. Cellular's total customer base. U.S. Cellular also said it will transition its Bolingbrook Customer Care Center operations to an existing vendor partner as of Jan. 1.

IDC's latest global mobile market share numbers paint a picture of a smartphone world completely dominated by Android, despite the popularity of Apple's iPhone. Last week, research-firm IDC released its latest quarterly global mobile market share numbers, and the story is mostly the same as it's been for the past couple of years: Android continues to dominate; iOS and Windows Phone are making slow but steady gains; and every other OS is losing share just as steadily.

by: Greg Sandoval
A U.S. district court judge in Wisconsin has just dismissed Apple's patent case against Motorola Mobility, now a Google unit.

Apple can't simply refile in another district court.
