"What remains to be seen is how Apple's arrival will change the landscape," Ramon Llamas, research manager for IDC Wearables, said. "The Apple Watch will likely become the device that other wearables will be measured against, fairly or not. This will force the competition to up their game in order to stay on the leading edge of the market."Sales of the Apple Watch officially kicked off on April 24, so the device was not a factor in IDC's first-quarter report. Apple itself, meanwhile, does not break down sales figures for its new smartwatch. Reporting on the company's fiscal second-quarter earnings in late April, CEO Tim Cook was mum about actual sales data, instead saying that customer response for the Apple Watch has been "overwhelmingly positive" and acknowledging that demand has been outstripped supply.

A report released Tuesday by investment firm Global Equities Research said that Apple has so far received 7 million orders for its watch but has only been able to ship 2.5 million orders, presumably due to supply constraints, Apple is expected to ship around 5 million Apple Watches by the end of the current quarter ending June 30, twice the number anticipated by analysts, Trip Chowdhry, managing director of Global Equities Research, told CNNMoney, If those olixar meshtex iphone 8 / 7 case - tactical black reviews numbers prove true, Apple would be on track to top the charts as the new leader in the wearables markets..

For the first quarter, however, Fitbit let the pack with 3.9 million shipments of its fitness and activity trackers, IDC said. The company led the quarter by releasing three new products -- the Charge, Charge HR, and the Surge -- while demand continued for its older Flex band and other devices. In second place was Chinese vendor Xiaomi, which shipped 2.8 million units of its $13 Mi Band fitness monitor . The number was impressive according to IDC since the product just started shipping in the second half of 2014 and had been largely limited to Xiaomi's home base of China.

Garmin took the No, 3 spot by shipping 700,000 units of its health and fitness trackers, Largely geared toward hikers, runners and other sports enthusiasts, most of Garmin's devices are equipped with GPS to zero in on your location and distance, Samsung shipped a total of 600,000 wearable for the quarter, up from 300,000 for the same quarter in 2014, IDC pegged the growth on global demand for Samsung's Gear smartwatches, including the Gear, Gear 2, Gear Fit, Gear 2 Neo, Gear olixar meshtex iphone 8 / 7 case - tactical black reviews S and Gear Live, But one limiting factors is the ability of Gear to pair with only certain high-end Samsung smartphones..

As the less powerful counterpart to Huawei's flagship, the P8 Lite is an affordable midtier phone. Available for $250 (£158, AU$322 converted), the device features a 5-inch display and Android 4.4. The device's 5-inch screen has a 720p resolution. While that isn't as sharp as, say, 1,080p, it's pretty standard given its price point. The display is bright, has a wide viewing angle, and is responsive to the touch. Android enthusiasts will be disappointed to know that the handset runs a rather dated version of Google's mobile operating system, 4.4 KitKat, instead of the more recent 5.0 Lollipop.
