Apple has been busy lately in safe-guarding the design and innovation of its products by taking legal cover of patent grant policy provided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In the recent past, we have seen how Apple filed a legal suit against HTC, for its alleged involvement in infringing 20 iPhone OS patents "related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture, and hardware”. Apple was also recently granted patent for the "Ornamental design" of the original iPhone which was released back in 2007.

It has been confirmed by an Apple Store employee that Apple will now be selling iPhones to customers without having to purchase an AT&T plan.

Although iPhone 3GS has a commendable 3.2 megapixel camera, but apart from very basic camera functionality, you can hardly do anything special with it. But then as they says that there is an app for just about anything on the iPhone, so is the case with this app as well. A new app by the name of Security Cam has just been approved which enables iPhone users to use their iPhone as security (or should I say spy?) camera.
Google today, in a press event held at its Headquarters in Mountain View, California has finally unveiled the much hyped Nexus One, aka the Google phone. Nexus One is powered by Android 2.1 operating system, it features 3.7’’ AMOLED screen, 1Ghz Snapdragon processor with 512mb of Ram and 5 megapixels autofocus camera with flash to go with it.
Folks over at Engadget have got their hands on the Google Nexus One and their first impression of the device is “Nexus One thus far is .. not very different than the Droid in any substantial way.”. Yes, the phone does feel a tad faster to work with when compared to Droid, thanks to its 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. But the difference there is not by much.
