Another day, and another Samsung vs. Apple debacle, this time it seems that the Korean giant Samsung is requesting depositions from “Jony” Ive and other Apple inventors. We discussed only yesterday that Samsung were demanding Apple to hand over the source code for the iPhone 4S.
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.
Oh Samsung, why do you do it to yourselves? As if having more lawsuits going on than The Pirate Bay wasn't enough to contend with for one day. The Korean firm has now managed to put its foot in it once more, this time when showing off its new media player, the Galaxy Player 5.0.
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 a report published recently, a Samsung lawyer couldn’t tell the difference between a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an iPad 2 at a hearing in US courts earlier this week.
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.
Android users and mobile enthusiasts alike have likely been aware of the Samsung Hercules, a mysterious new Android-based handset that was first revealed back in May. While neither Samsung nor T-Mobile have commented on it, leaked pictures now indicate that this phone will actually be a slight variant of the best-selling Samsung Galaxy S II.
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.
Android fans might want to get a little excited from this announcement coming straight from Samsung: the Galaxy S II has sold 3 million units in just 55 days, becoming the company's fastest-selling phone ever: that's 1 phone sold every 1.5 seconds!
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.
