Kodak adds Samsung to its list of those allegedly using its patents illegally
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungKODAK
Despite its position as an iconic American corporation and obviously one of the leaders in photography, Kodak's days are quite possibly numbered. With a stock price measured in cents and a product that not too many use any more, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy. One thing that Kodak hopes will keep it alive is its patent portfolio and earlier this month, the company sued both Apple and HTC for patent infringement. The patents in question deal with digital imaging.
On Wednesday, Kodak added Samsung to the list, claiming that the Korean based manufacturer had violated five of Kodak's patents. These patents deal with the capturing of digital images which are then sent out through a cel...

The Samsung Galaxy S2 HD, sporting a stunning 1280 x 780 screen among other tweaks, is already lined up for a US release and there are now reports that it could be heading to the UK.
We love the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Super AMOLED+ screen certainly does not do it any injustice, but an HD screen would be the cherry on top of the icing on the cake.

Samsung commits to improve smartphone battery life in 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Sure, we all love having the latest and greatest smartphone from the likes of Samsung, but the power consumption driven by larger displays, LTE, and more use is making it increasingly harder to get through the day. Samsung's vice president of product innovation, Kevin Packingham, said in an interview with CNET that Korea's darling has set the lofty goal that smartphones coming out this year last an entire day under average to moderately heavy use. Samsung's plans include beefing up batteries, but it also intends to look at improving energy efficiency by tweaking the various radios -- LTE, WiFi -- to make them a little less greedy.

Samsung asks Apple to reveal partnership with Qualcomm
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Samsung has formally requested details of the contract between Apple and wireless supplier Qualcomm, the Korea Times reports. The action was taken through a US District Court in California, and is intended to discover whether a cross-licensing deal between Samsung and Qualcomm means that "Apple's buying Qualcomm chips is as good as paying for the patents." Depending on the exact arrangement, Apple may be immune to related patent infringement lawsuits from Samsung.

Samsung: 'we are not interested in buying RIM'
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungRIM BlackBerry
Rumor spread like wildfire today that the beleaguered RIM is looking for a buyer, and that Samsung was chief among the possible suitors. Samsung responded quickly and definitively, telling Reuters that "we haven't considered acquiring the firm and are not interested in (buying RIM)." BGR originally reported this morning that in addition to discussing licensing its software, RIM is in favor of selling parts or all of the company, and that Samsung was its buyer of choice. Whether that's true or not we don't yet know, but what's now loud and clear is that Samsung isn't interested in what's coming out of Waterloo. Samsung spokesman James Chung also said that the company hadn't even been approach...

RIM looking to sell to Samsung?
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungRIM BlackBerry
Research in Motion is actively seeking an outright sale of one or more of its divisions to rival manufacturer Samsung, according to reports on Tuesday.
The crisis-hit Canadian smartphone manufacturer is seeking a $12 to $15 billion offer to sell its BlackBerry brand, according to BGR sources, with senior figures looking to entice Samsung into a bid.
The Korean giant, which enjoyed a massively profitable 2011, aided by the sale of Android phones like the Galaxy S2, is said to believe that RIM's current asking price is too high.
However, the BGR report adds that RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie is "going hard after Samsung" in order to facilitate a sale.

Samsung has 'not made a firm decision' to merge Bada OS into Tizen
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Bada and Tizen are two mobile platforms that haven't had much impact in the market — to be fair, Tizen hasn't yet had the chance to make its mark, but its predecessors (Moblin and MeeGo) certainly did. Bada, meanwhile, soldiers on only because its behemoth benefactor, Samsung, has continued to support it and offer a number of models — mainly in Europe and Asia — that slot in beneath its Android line.

Apple files German lawsuit against Samsung, targets Galaxy S II, nine other smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleGalaxy S II
With patent infringement accusations going every which way in recent months, we're certainly familiar with Apple/Samsung banter in the international arena. Now Apple has thrown yet another punch at the Korean smartphone maker, targeting its Galaxy S II, Galaxy S Plus and eight other handsets, claiming -- yes, you've got it -- patent infringement. The suit was filed in Dusseldorf Regional Court -- the same venue that the company used to target the Galaxy Tab 10.1N, which was created specifically to sidestep a September injunction, also in Germany. It's becoming rather difficult to keep track of all the IP hubbub across the pond, but we'll surely be back with more as soon as the German court h...
