Smartphones are so popular here that it's difficult to avoid seeing one. and in China, these devices tend to become even more widespread.

This year, China will account for 26.5 percent of allsmartphone shipments , compared to 17.8 percent in the United States, according to a forecast by the International Data Corporation (IDC), a research firm. China has surpassed the United States in smartphone sales in the past. However, only in the first quarter of this year did it become clear that the smartphone gap between China and the United States would become a "long-lasting gap that won't be bridged," said Kevin

Restivo, a senior researcher with IDC.

What's driving the sharp increase in China? Cheaper Android smartphones priced below $200, like those made by Huawei, according to IDC. Apple's iPhone has also been a big hit among Chinese customers — during Apple's financial second quarter, sales of the iPhone there accounted for 20 percent of the company's income. However, over all, Android phones are outselling ( 比。。。畅销) the iPhone by about eight times in China, according to Mr. Restivo, which you would expect because Google's operating system is available on a wider range of products at lower prices.

China's surpassing the United States in smartphones doesn't mean sales here are coming to a halt, says Ramon Llamas, a senior researcher at IDC, in a statement. Smartphones already account for the majority of phone sales in the United States, so a slowdown was expected, he said.

Men who fall instantly for a girl just because she looks attractive are usually accused of being shallow.

But that, say scientists, is unfair. They are merely following their 'ancient'genetic preference to date pretty women and need less than a second to decide on a potential partner. Women, on the other hand, do not decide whether a man will be a good partner on looks. Their survival instinct means the y need to F i nd out whether the man is committed,has a good personalit y and is a good provider.

These f i ndings come from a study by Professors Vugt and Hooff of the University of Amsterdam (UA). They examined humans' bias towards looks by conducting a series of tests on 20 women and 20 men.

The subjects were wired up to a machine which recorded brain activity and then were given a task to perform. While they were doing the task they were shown a series of photographs of faces of the opposite sex, ranging from attractive to ugly. Men were easily distracted when they saw a pretty face but women stuck to the task.

The f i ndings showed that men made a quick judgment about women much earlier than was previously thought and men's desire for beautiful women was part of evolution. This is something very ancient and a way of helping men f i nd the best mate to produce children.
