Looks like my thoughts/predictions are turning out to be true. In my post titled “Apple vs HTC: Why not sue Samsung & LG ? Is it good news for Microsoft?” I suggested that Apple’s attack against HTC/Android can be seen as an oportinity for Microsoft to promote the new Windows Phone 7 Series OS: ….what’s interesting [...] One thing that everybody seems to agree with is that Apple is probably trying to attack Google (Android) via the patent infringements suite filed against HTC yesterday. Most of Apple’s complaints are aimed at HTC’s Sense UI which sits on top of the Android (and Windows Mobile) operation system and what’s interesting to me here [...] Looks like Apple doesn’t like competition latetly. After sueing Nokia a few months ago it’s now HTC’s turn to feel the heat for supposedly infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware.: “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about [...] …and it looks like a giant iPhone….It’s got a 9.7 LCD (IPS) capacitive touchscreen, a 1ghz Apple A4 CPU, 0.5″ thin & 1.5 pounds. The iPad doesn’t have a cellular radio & GPS receiver (Hold on, there’s higher priced version with 3G radio & GPS) but sports BT 2.1+EDR and WiFi 802.1n connectivity. It will come [...] Businnessweek is reporting that Apple & Microsoft are currently in talks to make Bing the default search engine on the iPhone instead of Google. It’s been obvious lately that Apple and Google are no longer best buddies. In the last 6 months Apple has rejected Google Voice on the iPhone, Eric Schmidt finally quit Apple’s [...] Seems like Nokia’s new Mobile chief is an optimistic guy. In an interesting interview with the India Times, Nokia’s executive vice-president and head of the mobile phones, Rick Simonson, admitted that the Finish company has lost ground in the smartphone space over the past 18 months and that they plan to be on par with [...] #gallery-2 { That’s right folks, another slap in the face of Windows Mobile users and some good news for iPhone owners. Microsoft just released Bing Maps on the iPhone a couple of minutes ago. It basically has the same features as [...] Here’s an “interesting” video shot by GigaOM in which you can see that Symbian’s CEO, Lee Williams decided to speak his mind about Google’s Android and Apple: “I don’t view Apple as evil, just greedy. Google … Come on.” I agree with most of what he said. 99% of Google’s revenues comes from targeted advertising and Android [...] Microsoft just posted a funny video showing us how and why some applictaion are rejected from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile. Looks like Microsoft is taking shots at Apple’s abundance of useless apps in the iPhone Appstore in this video. Source: YouTube Cnet’s Molly Wood & Ina Fried got a chance to sit down Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer at the Redmond Campus to talk a bit about Microsoft’s current and future strategy. Topics discussed are today’s economic situation, the Windows 7 launch, apple advertising etc.. When asked about the Microsoft Courier tablet protoype, Steve gave no comment [...] It looks like totally borking MS Exchange 2007 support isn’t the only new “semi hidden” feature of the new OS 3.1. According to this Gioga23 post (I didn’t update to 3.1 yet to try it) the new OS update brings video editing to the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch. To check it out you’ll have [...] engadget More to come..I should be a free upgrade to iPhone and iPod Touch users who are actualy running OS 3.0. Update: The OS 3.1.1 update is now live on iTunes. You heard it here first! The German EMI page has a link to the iTunes store to download the new The Beatles Stereo Box. The iTunes link doesn’t seem to fully work yet though. Looks like a mistake on EMI’s part though…. Click here to access EMI’s Beatles page. The popular Android app, ShopSavyy,that let’s user scan a products barcode & then automatically searches for the best price is coming soon to the new Windows Marketplace for Mobile and iPhone appstore according to the developer’s blog: Who will win? ShopSavvy for the iPhone should be in the market any time now. We began working on [...] Ok guys, I just finished reviewing an interesting iPhone app called Mobile 3D City (Paris 3D) and did a walk-through video that you can watch below (keep in mind that’s it’s my first ever video review..that’s why it may sound funny..) Mobile 3D City is sort of a cross between Google Maps and a tourist guide. [...] Microsoft just announced the release of the Bing iPhone and Mac open source SDK today. This will enable developers to integrated Bing search into their iPhone apps instead of Google or Yahoo. The SDK provides: * The ability to easily query Bing from within your Cocoa or Cocoa Touch application. * Perform both synchronous and asynchronous queries. * Search [...] Following the release of Layar on Android smartphones here comes Metro Paris a french application ($0,79 and works in English too) which used augmented reality to help find POIs and train stations is the french capital. Similar to Layyr it uses the digital compass (and GPS) on the iPhone 3GS when you point your phone [...] TomTom has been officially released today on the AppStore for the following prices : I may seem expensive and it is! But remember that it’s priced exactly the same on Windows Mobile phones. For example the European map pack cost €99 on the iPhone and €99 on Windows Mobile. Tomtom isn’t ripping off iPhone users, the [...] After cut-copy-past the iPhone seems to have a new cool feature that Apple should IMO run TV ads about, “explode in your face”. This time it happened last Friday in France. the young teen was using his girlfriend’s iPhone 3G when it suddenly started to get hot and the glass shattered. The boy claims to [...] |
