US judge denies Apple some bans, says Samsung is copying
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungApple
Federal court Judge Lucy Koh on Thursday tentatively denied some of Apple's calls for a preliminary US ban on Samsung devices. She believed there wasn't enough of an urgent case to ban the hardware based on a "utility" patent but hadn't issued a definitive verdict on three design-related patents. Apple might have trouble proving the patents were violated, she said.
Koh also wasn't convinced Apple couldn't just recoup any lost damages at the trial itself.
In spite of the apparent relief, Koh made it clear she was likely to side with Apple in the long term. She believed Galaxy Tab models "do infringe" on patents relating to the iPad, even if Apple couldn't prove validity at this stage. In co...

Apple wins temporary ban of Samsung tablets in Australia
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungApple
Apple has secured a temporary ban on the sale of Samsung tablets in Australia after launching legal action against the Korean company for allegedly copying the iPad too closely. In the federal court of New South Wales, Justice Annabelle Bennett granted the injunction, which prohibits the sale of Samsung's tablets until the lengthy patent battle between the two technology giants has been resolved.
"I am satisfied that it is appropriate to grant an interim injunction," Justice Bennett said, confirming that Apple had valid cause for legal action for the breach of its touchscreen technology patents. The dispute will now head towards a full hearing, although it is unlikely to take place until at...

Grand Theft Auto III headed to iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsTabletsAppleGoogleAndroid 3.0iPad 2iPhone 4s
Grand Theft Auto III is a game us Pocket-linters remember with great affection. We have so many fantastic memories of tearing through one of the first ever truly open world games, wrecking every car in our path and generally smashing people to pieces.
Since then, the GTA series has continued to innovate. Chinatown Wars is one of the best gaming apps currently available on iOS, its top down open world adventuring being quite unlike anything else on smartphones or tablets. It never, however, quite achieved the levels of greatness that were possible in GTA III, leaving our iPhones and iPads free from the joys of decimating liberty city.

Cyanogenmod releases first Android for TouchPad edition
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHPGoogleAndroid 3.0TouchPad
Cyanogenmod, the modding community working on a port of Android for the orphaned HP TouchPad, has released its first round of software for the tablet.
As you might expect with a name like "Lower your expectations", the Android Honeycomb software takes the form of a very early, reasonably bug-ridden build that means its not really ideal for regular users.
Still, there will be some brave types among you (probably the ones who got their TouchPad for £90) that won't be put off.

If you liked the Sony Tablet S and Tablet P but thought you would just hold off until the 3G version hit they are coming, at least in Japan. NTT DoCoMo has announced that on October 28 3G versions of both tablets will hit Japan. The tablets hit the Japanese market on September 17 in WiFi only versions. Other than the addition of 3G, the machines will be the same it seems.

RIM: BlackBerry fully restored but no compensation news
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsRIM BlackBerry
“You expect better of us, I expect better of us.” So RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis opened the company’s apologetic BlackBerry press conference this morning, before swiftly pointing out that services have now been “fully restored”. As for compensation, however, fellow co-CEO Jim Balsillie said RIM has no idea, at present, what or even if that could be “Our focus has been 100-percent on getting services restored,” he told investors and journalists, “that’s something we’re going to focus on now, but it hasn’t been our priority overnight.”

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to cost 499 EUR in Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGalaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
When Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, it forgot to mention how much it will cost. Thanks to Netbook.it we now know how much the Korean company will ask for the brand new tablet in Italy – 499 EUR. That’s not that bad for a device as capable as the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, which as you probably know builds on the success of Sammy’s original Galaxy Tab product. However, under the hood it’s a completely different beast with specs that include a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, HSPA+ and Wi-Fi connectivity, 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, the same 7-inch 1024×600 pixels capacitive touchscreen, while Android Honeycomb 3.2 is running t...

How You Can Get a Fresh iPad for $100
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad
I love my iPad. It's the original model, bought on April 3, 2010. It's been working perfectly since then but the battery life was really bad, lasting only a couple of hours lately. It was exhausted. I had to replace it.
In the process, I got a fresh iPad 64GB at the Apple Store for just $100. The good news, you can get one too.
After so many charging cycles, my original iPad's battery was exhausted. It took forever to recharge and only a few hours to completely run out. I remember the days when I first got it. I could use it normally for a couple of days, watching at least two Netflix movies on it or browsing the web, running some apps and reading comic books.
I went to the Apple Store to as...

Samsung offers updated Galaxy smartphone in Europe to evade sales ban
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsung
Samsung has revealed that it will launch updated versions of three of its Galaxy smartphones in Europe in order to avoid a sales ban imposed by a Dutch court. The court ruled that three of Samsung's smartphones violated Apple'spatents, and banned them from sale with a grace period ending on October 14 to give Samsung some time to address the issue.
The three phones affected are the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, and Galaxy Ace, and the updated versions feature a modified way of scrolling through lists and browsing photos that does not infringe on Apple's patents.
"We've fixed the technological problem and upgraded products to address the issue. They will be shortly available for sale," said a Samsun...

97.2% of US tablet traffic is from the iPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad
With an onslaught of Android tablets, a webOS tablet and the BlackBerry PlayBook, you might have thought the iPad is in danger. Wait until you see the share all these tablets got in August 2011 - 2.8% of all tablet traffic in the States. No typo here.
“In August 2011, iPads delivered 97.2 percent of all tablet traffic in the U.S. iPads have also begun to account for a higher share of Internet traffic than iPhones (46.8 percent vs. 42.6 percent of all iOS device traffic),” comScore’s latest report states.
It’s interesting to see which were the rest of the tablets accounting for a meagre 2.8% of all US tablet traffic, but in either case the facts are hard to ignore here.

Motorola Spyder and Xoom 2 turn up in more leaked shots
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsMotorolaXOOM 2DROID RAZR
We've already seen Motorola's new Xoom 2 tablet(s) and Spyder smartphone (otherwise known as the Droid HD) turn up in a few leaked shots, and we've now received a handful more that are said to show both devices in their near final form. That includes a Verizon logo on both the front and back of the Spyder for the first time (though that's not exactly unexpected), and the Xoom 2 (the 8.2-inch version in this case) is said to be in "better shape" than the earlier prototypes, which had apparently been suffering from some rather serious bugs. As you can see above, the Spyder also has what appears to be a slightly more tactile back, which could well be the Kevlar coating that's been rumored for t...

Kindle Fire Already Drawing Patent Lawsuits
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAmazonKindle Fire
The Kindle Fire isn’t even due to ship to consumers for another month, but already it has attracted its first patent suit. Smartphone Technologies LLC, which as far as we can tell doesn’t actually make anything, has sued Amazon for infringing on four of its patents. These patents seem to describe operating a touchscreen device by tapping on icons; apparently that’s a real patent.

Toshiba AT200 tablet squeezes through 7.7mm gap at the FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsToshibaAT200-101
News about Toshiba's ultra-thin AT200 tablet has been patience-testingly slow since we went hands-on at IFA a month ago. We did recently hear that a Japanese variant of the Regza-branded ten-incher -- confusingly called the AT700 -- is on schedule for release there in December and we're hoping that the US version will arrive in time for Christmas too. Encouraging, then, to see that it's passed unscathed through the FCC's electromagnetic rendition of Wipeout with WiFi and Bluetooth in tow. The submitted paperwork also reveals a little extra detail: the tablet is at least partly manufactured by Quanta, the same OEM guys behind the Kindle Fire and the BlackBerry PlayBook. With the tablet wars l...
