* Today, Netflix released the launch date, first clip and images of the Swedish crime series Land of Sin, created and directed by Peter Gronlund (Goliath, Beartown).
* Set in the Scanian countryside, this five-part series follows the investigation of a young teenager who is found dead on the Bjare peninsula.

NEEDHAM, Massachusetts, Dec. 6 (TNSrep) -- International Data Corp., a provider of market intelligence and advisory services, issued the following news release:

India's Tablet Market Ships 1.33 Million Units in Q3 2025 as Consumer Segment Records Its Strongest Quarter Over a Decade: IDC
INDIA, 5 December 2025 - India's tablet market shipped 1.33 million units in Q3 2025, a 19.7% year-over-year (YoY) decline, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker (https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=IDC_P36344). The market includesboth detachable and slate tablets. Detachables grew 7.3% YoY, but this was offset by a sharp 29.4% YoY drop in slate tablets. The overall decline was driven mainly by a steep 53.5% fall in commercial shipments, even as the consumer segment delivered strong 13.5% YoY growth--its best performance in more than a decade.
Consumer Segment Shows Strong Growth Amid Festive Surge; Commercial Segment Faces Sharp Decline
The consumer segment rose 13.5% YoY, powered by strong festive-season demand and aggressive vendor strategies. Brands pushed targeted sell-in supported by deep discounts, bank offers, exchange deals, and refreshed product portfolios. This performance stood in contrast to the commercial segment, which continued to weaken due to muted institutional spending.
Commercial shipments fell 53.5% YoY, led by a 61.9% drop in education deployments and a 47.9% decline in small office purchases. The slowdown reflected delayed education projects, cost-cutting efforts among SMBs, and longer refresh cycles.
Meanwhile, the e-tail channel maintained its strong momentum, recording an impressive 53.9% year-over-year growth in Q3 2025 and highlighting the growing role of online platforms in driving tablet adoption across India.
"Festive e-tail sales provided a significant boost to India's consumer tablet market, expanding penetration into lower-tier cities through competitive pricing and efficient logistics. Tablets are increasingly emerging as a viable device for both content consumption and creation, especially when bundled with a stylus and keyboard. While channel inventory remains elevated for most vendors and may require correction in the coming quarter, strong sell-through trends indicate that the consumer segment is well-positioned to maintain its growth momentum," said Priyansh Tiwari , research analyst, IDC India & South Asia.
Top 5 Vendor Highlights - Q3 2025
Samsung retained its leadership with a 37.5% market share in Q3 2025, dominating both the commercial segment with a 49.7% share and the consumer segment with a 32.6% share. Its strong performance was supported by major public-sector education deployments and an aggressive inventory push aimed at strengthening its presence across online channels.
Lenovo secured the second position with a 16.8% market share in Q3 2025, gaining strong traction in the consumer segment with a 19.3% share. The brand effectively leveraged Motorola-branded tablets to attract younger consumers seeking stylish, value-for-money devices. Lenovo also strengthened its presence in enterprise deployments, which contributed significantly to its performance in the commercial segment.
Xiaomi secured third place with a 15.5% market share in Q3 2025, supported by a strong 21.8% share in the consumer segment. Its performance was fuelled by competitive pricing, attractive exchange bonuses, and value-driven accessory bundles offered during major online sales events.
Apple ranked fourth with a 9.2% market share in Q3 2025. Despite facing stiff competition from Android brands in the consumer segment, it maintained a 10.6% share, while securing a 5.8% share in the commercial segment, supported by steady demand from enterprise and education deployments.
Acer rounded out the top five with a 7.9% market share in Q3 2025, driven largely by its strong performance in the commercial segment, where the fulfillment of education deals enabled it to capture a 26.4% share. Acer also sustained steady momentum in enterprise deployments, catering to the needs of multinational corporations.
Commenting on the outlook, Bharath Shenoy , research manager, Devices Research, IDC India & South Asia, said, "India's tablet market continues to show resilience, with growth opportunities emerging across both consumer and commercial segments. As advanced AI capabilities become more integrated, tablets are evolving into handy productivity devices, offering personalized experiences and more efficient workflows. At the same time, rising PC prices are expected to increase further in the coming quarters. In this environment, tablets are becoming a compelling choice for first-time buyers and a cost-effective option for government-funded initiatives, effectively filling the gap left by traditional PCs."

Notes:
* Shipments include shipments to distribution channels or end-users. OEM sales are counted under the company/brand under which they are sold.
* Enterprise segment refers to all companies with 500 and above employees, and SMBs are referred to companies below 500 employees.
* Traditional PCs include Desktops, Notebooks, and Workstations and do not include Tablets or x86 Servers. Detachable Tablets and Slate Tablets are part of the Personal Computing Device Tracker but are not addressed in this press release.

iHeartPodcasts and Danielle Fishel Launch "Teen Beat" - The Newest Addition to Their Co-Produced Podcast Slate
The new pop culture interview series hosted by the recent Dancing with the Stars competitor premieres in January marking the fifth show helmed by Fishel with iHeart
*
LOS ANGELES - iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, has announced the newest show in an overall podcast deal announced with Danielle Fishel earlier this year. Theoriginal pop culture interview series titled "Teen Beat" will be hosted by director, producer, actor (formerly Topanga Lawrence on the '90s TV staple "Boy Meets World") and recent "Dancing with the Stars" competitor, Danielle Fishel. "Teen Beat" will premiere January 2026, with the official trailer available now, HERE (https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-teen-beat-291672932/episode/introducing-teen-beat-310906242/).
Coming off the pop culture juggernaut of Season 34 of "Dancing with the Stars" and the companion iHeartPodcast recapping her journey on the show, Fishel is now elevating her interviews with a new, weekly series.
As someone who spent her teenage years on millions of television screens, from her first kiss to her first haircut, Fishel has decided it's time to turn the tables. She'll sit down with other celebrities to unearth details from their (untelevised) upbringings, cracking open childhood diaries for embarrassing fashion choices, school crushes and dramatic friend fallouts. Since most people's bouts with pimples weren't broadcast during a beloved TGIF lineup, the least they can do now is talk about theirs.
"Teen Beat" will further deepen the long-standing creative partnership between Fishel and her husband Jensen Karp, who co-executive produce their growing slate of shows for iHeartPodcasts. The slate includes the hit series "Pod Meets World," now closing in on 50 million downloads with co-hosts Will Friedle and Rider Strong. They also executive produce "How Rude, Tanneritos!" with Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin, and "Magical Rewind" with Friedle and Sabrina Bryan. Their new overall deal will find them exclusively producing and developing new projects for iHeartPodcasts, expanding the successful creative partnership for years to come.
"I have cherished my relationship with iHeart over the past three years and look forward to our newly minted future," Fishel explains. "Like only I have said, loudly in the hallways of their office: I am the new Ryan Seacrest."
Listen to the trailer now on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Follow @daniellefishel and @teenbeatpod on Instagram for podcast clips and updates.
The series is distributed by iHeartPodcasts as part of its Popworthy slate, where trending culture and nostalgia intersect. Follow all Popworthy shows @popworthypodcasts.

Latest AI news we announced in November
Here's a recap of some of our biggest AI updates from November, including the launch of Gemini 3, debut of Nano Banana Pro and major new investments in AI infrastructure.
For more than 20 years, we've invested in machine learning and AI research, tools and infrastructure to build products that make everyday life better for more people. Teams across Google are working on ways to unlock AI's benefits in fieldsas wide-ranging as healthcare, crisis response and education. To keep you posted on our progress, we're doing a regular roundup of Google's most recent AI news.
Here's a look back at some of our AI announcements from November.
"the big picture"
November ushered in a new era of intelligence: with the launch of Gemini 3, we're improving everyone's ability to learn, plan or just get things done.
From "vibe coding" with our powerful models, to generating professional grade visuals with Nano Banana Pro, to the autonomous workflows in our new Google Antigravity platform, the distance between a spark of imagination and reality has never been shorter. So, whether you're a developer building complex agents or a traveler planning for the upcoming holidays with Canvas in AI Mode, these updates turn AI into a proactive partner ready to help you get things done, all season long.
"AI that can help bring any idea to life"
We released Gemini 3, AI for a new era of intelligence. Gemini 3 is built to bring any idea to life. It represents the next step in our work to push the frontiers of intelligence, agentic experiences and personalization -- so that AI is truly helpful for everyone. Gemini 3 is the best model in the world for multimodal understanding and it's our most powerful agentic and vibe coding model to date. For developers, Gemini 3 Pro outperforms previous versions across major AI benchmarks. Gemini 3's upgraded smarts and new capabilities are now available in the Gemini app, and you can review our hub with all the Gemini 3 announcements.
We made Gemini 3 available in Google Search for our most intelligent search yet. Gemini 3's state-of-the-art reasoning is now available in Google Search, starting with AI Mode -- marking the first time we brought a Gemini model to Search on day one. Gemini 3 grasps depth and nuance, and unlocks new experiences in Search with dynamic visual layouts, interactive tools and simulations tailored specifically for your query. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in nearly 120 countries and territories in English can use Gemini 3 Pro by selecting "Thinking with 3 Pro" from the model drop-down menu in AI Mode.
We unveiled Nano Banana Pro, built on Gemini 3. Nano Banana Pro, our newest image generation and editing model, is built on Gemini 3 and moves beyond spontaneous art into an era of high-fidelity, studio-quality visuals. You now have the choice between the original Nano Banana for fun, fast editing, or Pro for an even more powerful creative partner capable of handling complex tasks demanding the highest quality. To help get you started, we shared seven tips to get the most out of Nano Banana Pro.
We introduced Google Antigravity, a new agentic development platform. Antigravity is a platform designed to give developers an AI-powered coding experience that goes beyond simple editing. It delivers a new agent-first interface for deploying agents that autonomously plan, execute and verify complex tasks. Our vision for Antigravity is to enable anyone with an idea to experience liftoff and build that idea into reality. You can try Antigravity available for yourself today in public preview.
"AI that can help make navigating your world even easier"
We announced that Google Maps is getting smarter with Gemini. With the help of Gemini, you will soon have the first, hands-free, conversational driving experience in Google Maps that allows you to find places, report traffic, ask for suggestions along your route and more using just your voice. Plus, new landmark-based navigation will give you clear directions, so in addition to hearing "turn right in 500 feet," you'll also get directions based on helpful landmarks like "turn right after the Thai Siam Restaurant." Landmark-based navigation is rolling out now on Android and iOS in the U.S, and Gemini in navigation on Google Maps is rolling out everywhere Gemini is available.
We announced that Gemini has started rolling out in Android Auto. Android Auto is already available in over 250 million cars on the road, and Gemini is now coming along for the ride to make life on the road even better. You'll be able to use natural language to add stops, send messages, access emails, create playlists and even brainstorm ideas while driving. Just make sure you have the Gemini app on your phone and look for the tooltip on your car display.
"AI that can help accelerate scientific progress for everyone"
We introduced SIMA 2, a significant step toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). SIMA 2 is a major milestone in our work to create general and helpful AI agents. By integrating the advanced capabilities of Gemini into SIMA 2, the model is evolving from an instruction-follower into an interactive gaming companion. Now, SIMA 2 can follow human-language instructions in virtual worlds and also think about its goals, converse with users and improve itself over time, marking an important step in the direction of robotics and AI-embodiment in general.
We released WeatherNext 2: our most advanced weather forecasting model. WeatherNext 2 can generate forecasts 8x faster and with resolution up to 1-hour, and we're already using this breakthrough technology to support weather agencies in making decisions.
We marked the 5-year anniversary of AlphaFold cracking the protein folding problem, and spotlighted its ongoing impact. Five years ago AlphaFold 2 solved the protein structure prediction problem. The profound scientific and societal value of this work was recognized in 2024 with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In November, we looked back at how AlphaFold has unlocked new avenues of biological research and provided our first major proof point that AI can be a powerful tool to advance science.
"AI that can help with holiday planning, travel and shopping"
We announced new ways to plan travel with AI in Search. Our new AI features in Search help you build the perfect itinerary, from snagging a great deal to turning your plans into actual bookings. To get started with planning, try the Canvas tool in AI Mode: Describe the kind of trip you want and what recommendations you need. Then hit "Create Canvas," and watch your custom travel plan come together.
We added new AI shopping features in Search and Gemini to help with the holidays. Our biggest upgrade to shopping means you can now use conversational AI and agentic AI to take the hard work out of your holiday shopping. Using AI Mode in Search to shop, you can now describe what you're looking for and get an intelligently organized response that brings together rich visuals, price, reviews, inventory info, and more. Plus, new AI agents can now call stores to check stock and use agentic checkout to buy items automatically from eligible merchants when the price is right.
"AI that can help improve learning and deeper understanding"
We announced new commitments to AI learning and education. At our AI for Learning Forum in London, we announced $30 million in new funding for learning. The event brought together experts in education and technology and continued our recent work to develop AI in a way that improves learning outcomes. We also released popular new features to help with daily studying, including the ability to create flashcards and quizzes right in the NotebookLM app.
We shared essential tips for using Gemini Live. Gemini Live's latest updates allow you to have more natural, two-way conversations with AI. Our tips show how to make the most of these updates by tailoring your learning, especially for complex subjects. You can now adjust Gemini's speech speed to learn at your own pace and improve accessibility. You can also practice a new language, rehearse for a job interview or even liven your conversation up with a fun accent.
"AI that can help accelerate economies, jobs and infrastructure"
We announced a new $40 billion investment in Texas for AI and cloud infrastructure. CEO of Google and Alphabet Sundar Pichai and Texas Governor Greg Abbott made the announcement at an event in Midlothian, TX. This latest announcement represented the capstone of our 2025 push to make AI investments that unlock economic opportunity, advance scientific breakthroughs and create opportunities that benefit everyone. It includes major investments across America, as well as Europe, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region -- alongside a critical US workforce initiative to train 100,000 electrical workers and create 30,000 new apprentices.
