New Details On Google';s Next Nexus: Now Known As Nexus Prime Built By Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungGoogle
When we reported on the Nexus 4G, Google’s first Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone, we weren’t sure whether or not it would be a “pure Google” device or a handset made by one of the tech giant’s manufacturing partners. The inside source promised a “monster-sized” 720p display, a 4G radio of some kind, an an OMAP440 processor, but none of the leaked specs hinted at who would make the device.
Today, however, BGR’s source has given some new information about the handset that definitively answers our question. According to the source, that “monster-sized” screen will be a “Super AMOLED HD” display, which can only mean one thing: Samsung is getting in on the Ice Cream Sandwich party.

Microsoft inks patent deal with small Android manufacturer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftGoogleAndroid
Microsoft has secured another avenue of income from its smartphone patents, as it has signed a deal with General Dynamics Itronix, a relatively unknown rugged device manufacturer. Microsoft inked a deal with HTC last year that allows HTC to use Microsoft's patents in its Android smartphones.
The terms of the Itronix deal have not been disclosed, but it is evident from the statements that the company is paying Microsoft for the privilege of using its patents. The companies' statement on the agreement says "Although the contents of the agreement have not been disclosed, the parties indicate that Microsoft will receive royalties from General Dynamics Itronix under the agreement."

Apple breaking up with Samsung as components supplier, embracing the TSMC foundries
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Numerous industry sources point to Apple trying to get away from what is turning out to be its biggest competitor instead of a mere components supplier, Samsung.
The move seems to be already underway, with the Taiwanese TSMC foundries picking up the slack, and likely to receive the orders for the A6 chipset next year, when Apple is expected to break up with Samsung completely.
The Koreans were still making the A5 chipset in the iPad 2, the flash memory bits, as well as other components for Apple, before the legal battle between the two companies began, but Cupertino is looking for alternative shops on all of these, and we bet it can't wait for the contracts to end.
TSMC is a contract fab, w...

Google and Taiwan duke it out over Android Market refund period
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Google has found a new enemy, and this time it is the Taiwanese government. The government of Taiwan is in a disagreement with Google over the 15 minute return policy that is present in the Android Market. As a result, Google has made paid apps inaccessible in the Taiwanese Android Market.
The conflict occurs because of a Taiwanese law that states that all items purchased over the internet require a 7 day return policy, since the buyer cannot physically touch the item before shelling out money for it. App stores were not covered by this law until a recent amendment that was enacted once they became so popular. Google's Android Market has a famously short 15 minute return period for all regio...

Leak reveals Samsung's first Android slider for Verizon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungVerizon WirelessGoogleAndroid
PocketNow obtained a couple of leaked photographs of a Samsung device that is apparently the SCH-i405. For the Korean based manufacturer, it will be its first Android flavored device with a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard for Verizon, and has a resemblance to the Samsung Epic 4G that currently resides at Sprint.
The SCH-i405 model number puts the handset right after the Samsung Continuum which means that the specs, when released, probably won't blow your mind. The phone did receive Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certification but has yet to meet the august members of the FCC. That gives us about 6-8 weeks before a possible launch on Verizon. Of course, most of the carrier's customers have their heart and ...

Sony came up with a price goal for NGP and then chose hardware to fit the price
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPSVITA
I have been a gamer since the days of the Atari console and over the years the thing that has been a fact of the gaming world is that each successive generation of consoles tends to get more expensive. The gamer might complain about cost but if the console has some compelling features and good games many people will buy the console even if it’s expensive. Generally we see the major console developers simply choose the hardware and then price their machines accordingly.
Techon has had an interview with Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida about the coming Sony portable console dubbed NGP. In the interview Yoshida confirmed that Sony worked backwards from what...

Nevada Legislation allows Google driverless cars to cruise state roads
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google has its fingers into some many different projects that it can be very hard to keep track of them all. One of the oddest projects that Google has been into is the design and operation of cars that can drive themselves. Interestingly Google chose to use Prius and Audi TT’s as their driverless fleet and not the obviously well qualified black 80′s Trans Am. We have seen these driverless cars in action before, and to be honest they are a bit disconcerting to see in action.
You are placing a lot in the hands of software and hardware when you resign yourself sitting in the passenger seat as the cars navigate without your input. As strange as it is to ride in a car with no driver, the tech is...
