I am sure all of you would have read one thing or another on the on-going legal battle between Samsung and Apple, well here is some more for you; Samsung is now asking the Australian court for the source code of the iPhone 4S’ firmware, and also any agreements that have been made with Vodafone, Telstra and Optus prior to the launch in Australia.
At the joint Google-Samsung event in Hong Kong today, the hotly-anticipated Galaxy Nexus was finally unveiled alongside Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
According to a recently published report, Samsung is getting ready to pump up manufacturing for Apple’s next chip - the Apple A6 - in its plant in Austin, TX.
According to report published earlier today, Samsung is looking to ban sales of the Apple iPhone 4S in Japan and Australia. The company is also seeking a ban on sales of iPhone 4 and iPad 2 in Japan.
Samsung's recently released AllShare DLNA app offers Windows Phone owners of the Sammy persuasion the ability to share all kinds of media over a WiFi network to any DLNA-compatible TV or set-top box. The problem though, is that when attempting to run the app on certain Samsung devices, users were met with an error, and as a result were unable to take advantage of what AllShare has to offer. The popular belief is that Samsung doesn't want owners of certain handsets to have access to AllShare, though the reasoning is unclear. With that in mind, it's possible that users could experience some off behavior on certain handsets, but we've not seen any reports either for, or against that theory just yet.
Samsung's latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S II, sure seems to be popular amongst those keen on the little green Android, and the Korean outfit has now released sales numbers which seem to back up that observation.
Samsung has sold over 5 million units of their Galaxy S II Android smartphone in under 85 days, Redmond Pie has learned. The news comes from Yonhap News, a Korean newspaper which states that the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer has announced that their Galaxy S II smartphone has shipped and sold over 5 million units in just under three months after launching in select countries over the world in May.
Redmond-based Microsoft Corporation has demanded that Samsung Electronics pay the company $15 per smartphone handset it manufactures for using a wide variety of Microsoft’s patents on its “mobile platform”.
Earlier this month, Samsung filed a court order requesting to look at Apple's next-generation devices in order to look for close similarities between them and Samsung Galaxy devices. Apple, in response, filed a request to ban the sale of any Samsung mobile devices in the United States. Both companies were denied their requests.
With steadily increasing sales, Apple now has enough cash to buy the entire mobile phone industry, except for Samsung, at least if this estimate is to be trusted.
