China’s Huawei Technologies Co. has jumped ahead of Nokia Corp., HTC Corp. and Research In Motion Ltd. in the world-wide smartphone race, but steep challenges remain for the telecommunications firm as it pursues a bigger role around the world.
Huawei, a Shenzhen-based manufacturer of telecom equipment that has aggressively pushed into the consumer market in recent years, shipped 10.8 million smartphones in the fourth quarter, ranking it the third-largest seller in the world, with a nearly 5 percent market share, according to researcher International Data Corp.

Digital Technology: 700,000 unfilled ICT jobs in Europe - Nokia, Telefónica, HP and others pledge support for new EU digital skills coalition
In a boost to tech hopes, the European Commission has announced a digital skills coalition that brings together high-profile companies to help fill around 700,000 unfilled ICT jobs.
Vice President of the EU Commission, Neelie Kroes pointed out on her blog earlier this week that getting the right skills and jobs together to help give Europe a competitive edge was her mission at Davos this year.
According to the EU Commission, the number of digital vacancies across the continent is growing but the number of graduates and other ICT works with the required skills is shrinking.
In order to combat this, the coalition is taking pledges from companies that can offer training, free online university courses and startup cash to get things going. So far Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Hewlett Packard, Nokia, Telefónica, Randstad, SAP, ENI, Telenor Group and ARM have made pledges.

Electronic Publications: Newsweek goes online-only after 80 years in print
Newsweek will become an online-only publication next year, ending 80 years as a print magazine.
The last print edition in the US will be the December 31 issue, Tina Brown, editor-in-chief and founder of The Newsweek Daily Beast Company, said today on the company's website. The all-digital publication, to be called Newsweek Global, will require subscriptions and will be available on tablet computers and on the web, Brown said.
"Exiting print is an extremely difficult moment for all of us who love the romance of print and the unique weekly camaraderie of those hectic hours before the close on Friday night," Brown said. "But as we head for the 80th anniversary of Newsweek next year we must sustain the journalism that gives the magazine its purpose and embrace the all-digital future."
Newsweek merged with Barry Diller's IAC/InterActiveCorp's Daily Beast website last year. The magazine will lose as much as $22 million this year, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said in July. Diller is curbing investment in the publication as readers of general-interest magazines, including Time Warne's Time, turn to the web for more frequent news on demand.
Newsweek's circulation has dropped to about 1.5 million from about 4 million a decade ago, according to the Audit Board of Circulations.
