According to information from CNet.com also Apple's multitouch patent is part of the accusations against HTC. HTC will have a total of 20 patents infringed by Apple. The disputed patents describe processes such as unlocking a lock screen, scrolling in lists or the automatic alignment of screen content. However, methods for saving electricity are included.

In the lawsuit Apple has both HTC smartphones with Windows Mobile as well as with Android in its sights. Google as a developer and provider of Android, however, was not sued by Apple. Suspected Jonathan Zittrain of Harvard Law School, that Google has not been sued by Apple deliberately. Instead, Apple has chosen with HTC a weaker opponent than Google, he told the New York Times.
Meanwhile, Google HTC has pledged his support. In a statement to Engadget Google said it stood behind Android and the partners who have helped in the development of Android. " Google found itself led to that statement, although the company is part of the application, such as Google itself points out.

Tawkon measures iPhone radiation, won’t be approved by Apple

I think it’s a crying shame that Tawkon’s iPhone application won’t be allowed in the App Store because it seems like a well-crafted program that could find a large audience.
I’m not too concerned about my cell phone’s radiation but I know a lot of people are. According to Tawkon’s technology page, the app uses an algorithm to determine how much radiation your iPhone is giving off at any given moment and it offers real-time suggestions on how to lower this. This algorithm takes into account known quantities like the radios in the phone as well as variables like distance from the base station, or proximity to the face. The radiation level will change depending on your location or even how you’re using the phone, Tawkon said.
To be fair, this app is only giving a prediction because you’d need expensive equipment to truly measure radiation, but if the algorithm is correctly programed, it should be a great indicator of how much radiation the device is emitting. The app also includes integration with the contacts list and dialer so you can keep an eye on radiation while making calls. Tawkon is hoping to sell the app for $5 to $10 dollars but don’t look for it in the App Store any time soon.
This marvelous feat of software development won’t be coming to your iPhone because Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) told Tawkon, “a diagnostic tool of this nature would create confusion with iPhone owners from a usability perspective.” Bull spit. Apple is just worried about how this would look from a public relations standpoint. This is another case of Apple’s arbitrary rules potentially ruining a developer’s livelihood. This isn’t some silly boob app either, this appears to be a well-done piece of software that took 18 months to create. Furthermore, I could see a lot of iPhone users interested in this because the topic has yet to fully be figured out.
Tawkon plans to bring the app to BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) and Android, where it won’t really have to worry about such silly rejection rules.

iPad could suffer stock shortages

Analysts have claimed that a shortage of materials could lead to a supply shortage in for the device’s launch, but Apple supplier Foxconn says 700,000 iPads will ship on schedule in March. 

According to 9to5Mac, the iPad is set to go on sale in the US around March 26th, and though Foxconn wouldn’t comment on the rumours directly, DigiTimes reports that Foxconn component suppliers have said their supplies are on schedule. 

Initial speculation was that a productions bottleneck would delay the iPad launch, but AppleInsider said that the delay would not affect the iPad launch and Apple would ship up to 700,000 in March and another million in April. 

The initial delay rumours said that due to an “unspecified production problem” initial supply of the device would be reduced to 300,000 and would affect initial US supply. 

But after unofficial response from Foxconn, it seems unlikely that Apple would change the launch date of the iPad. Wall Street analysts are predicting that Apple will sell between one million and five million iPads in its first year.

Sony to release handhelds to challenge Apple, iPad

Sony is aiming to challenge the iPad.

We are still weeks away from the launch of Apple’s iPad and the buzz is getting out of hand. Here in San Francisco there are already people lining up outside our local Apple Stores with tents and barbeques.
That last part is a lie, but it could happen right?
Don’t be surprised if you turn on the TV in late March and see bloody people walking aimlessly around Union Square clutching iPad’s whispering, “the horror, the horror.”
Moving on.
Remember way back in the days of black and white when Sony’s SFO Nobuyuki Oneda said that his company wanted to enter the tablet market? Well, it appears that he wasn’t kidding around. If the rumors are true, Sony is swinging for the fences.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Sony aims to bring a brand new lineup of handheld devices to stores this year. From the report:
Threatened by Apple Inc.'s growing stable of portable devices, Sony Corp. is developing a new lineup of handheld products, including a smart phone capable of downloading and playing PlayStation games, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Japanese electronics giant also has a project under way to develop a portable device that blurs distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PlayStation Portable, or PSP. The device is designed to compete against multifunction products such as Apple's coming iPad tablet, these people said.
Uh, that sounds pretty awesome doesn’t it?
Of course there were no specific release dates or pricing mentioned so that’s left to your imagination San Francisco.

Qualcomm keys on 3G

Qualcomm Inc, a wireless communications products maker, will increase its focus on chipsets for mobile handsets in the Thai market to cash in on surging demand for smartphones.

The US-based firm expects sales of its wireless chipsets in Thailand to increase by 30-40% this year in line with the local growth in 3G handset sales, said Kaneungjit Suriyathumrongkul, country manager of Qualcomm Thailand.
Smartphone handset sales in Thailand were fuelled by strong demand last year for high-speed multimedia services.
"Even though 3G has yet to become available in Thailand, the market behaviour has already shifted towards the higher features phones with high-speed internet access," said Ms Kaneungjit.
She said the company will focus more on making wireless chipsets for mobile phones by co-operating with local mobile operators, 3G equipment suppliers and local house-brand 3G handset makers to increase sales.
"With the country's penetration rate of mobile phone already passed 100%, the market is moving into wireless data communications," Ms Kaneungjit said.
Qualcomm makes chipsets for cellular products, wireless modules for notebook computers under the Gobi brand, and computing systems for smartphones and netbooks under the Snapdragon brand.
Chipsets sales made accounted for 60% of Qualcomm's global revenues last year, with technology licensing fees contributing 35% and the remaining coming from services and applications.
There are 945 million 3G subscribers worldwide, with 615 operators in 166 countries. The figure is projected to reach 2.7 billion users by 2014, she said.
"By 2014, monthly worldwide mobile data traffic is expected to exceed the 2008 total," she said.
Qualcomm planned to produce multimode chipsets with higher processing power and multimedia integration to serve the industry's aligning trend.
It is estimated that global handset sales total 1 billion units per year, while sales of notebook computers reached 140-150 million a year, she said.

Google executive: 'Desktops will be irrelevant in three years'

Google's prediction jumps on an obvious trend - but the implications betray the company's growing hubris

It's likely that you don't know a lot about John Herlihy, the head of global advertising operations for Google. He's not a publicly-recognised figure in the same way as Eric Schmidt, Larry Page or Sergey Brin, and - like many vice-presidents at big corporations - he doesn't get a great deal of time in the limelight.
But he is certainly basking in it today, after a series of comments - reported by Silicon Republic - caused a stir around the web.
"In three years time, desktops will be irrelevant," he told an audience at University College Dublin. "In Japan, most research is done today on smartphones, not PCs."
"Mobile makes the world's information universally accessible. Because there's information and because it will be hard to sift through it all, that's why search will become more and more important. This will create new opportunities for new entrepreneurs to create new business models - ubiquity first, revenue later."
Various camps reacted in a mixture of ways. Desktops? Irrelevant? What? What does this tell us about Google? What does it tell us about the future? What, oh, what does it all mean?
The truth is, he's right.
It's been obvious for a very long time that the traditional desktop computer is going to become an artifact of history, at least outside offices and hardcore nerds. Laptops and netbooks have become much more important parts of the computer market, and the volume of powerful mobile phones continues to rocket. The writing has been on the wall for desktop PCs for a long time.
Three years may be pushing it, but in fact, this development is so obvious that stating it in such fist-pumping terms borders on the inane. It's as if he stood yelling "Communism is a bankrupt philosophy!" a decade after the Berlin Wall fell.
Perhaps I'm being a little harsh - but the point stands.
Despite that, though, there are other interesting twists in what he said that are worth examining more closely.
First off, there's the fact that he's toeing the party line. In many ways, Herlihy was echoing the comments made by Eric Schmidt at Mobile World Congress a couple of weeks ago, when he said the company was moving to a "mobile first" strategy. "Culturally it is time to figure out a way to say yes to the emergent new services and ideas that will not come from Google but from those literally millions of companies and programming shops that will be built on this new platform," he said. "Now is the time for all of us to get behind it. What I would suggest to you here, right now, at Mobile World Congress is to understand that
the new rule is 'mobile first'; mobile first in everything.. it's time for us to make mobile first the right answer."
So what we're hearing is the mobile drumbeat from Google. They want us - and their rivals - to know that they're serious.
Secondly, there's the fact that this mobile drumbeat conflicts with everything that Google is doing in the PC business. If the desktop is irrelevant, what does that mean for its Chrome operating system? For its web browser? For all the people relying on its desktop business?
Google doesn't have a great track record of keeping products alive once they're outside of its target area... so should the users - and developers - attached to those systems be worried?
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, there's a level of hubris in all this that leaves me more than a little concerned.
The implication of Herlihy's words is not simply that there will be "new opportunities for new entrepreneurs". The coded message is that there will be new opportunities for Google. And with $24bn in the bank and an acquisitive hunger that seems insatiable, you wouldn't bet against them trying to dominate these new markets just as they do search.
Indeed, Herlihy also said that Google's culture is based on "relentless brutality and execution" - the kind of warning to rivals that is not easy to miss (it's worth reading our extract from Ken Auletta's book on Google for more insight here, too).
Thanks to the European commission and the US regulators, we're already seeing a few chickens starting to look at their watches and think about heading home.
When you've grown up in a culture of "don't be evil", it's easy to see everything you do in a positive light. But if you're in Google's path, the conflict between these two images - a quirky web business and a relentless machine - is hard to overcome. Perhaps Steve Ballmer wasn't so out of step earlier this week when he said Google's success was largely the product of incumbency, not culture.
Ballmer's probably in a better place to judge, since he will recognise the attitude of making sweeping pronouncements about the future while simultaneously intimating that you are that future - because it's precisely what his company did while it watched its in-built advantages slip away. To me, Google's language today sounds eerily reminiscent of Microsoft at its peak.
So, there's little doubt in my mind that desktops will be irrelevant sooner rather than later. But the bigger question is whether Google making that sort of statement sounds like the dawn of an empire, or the end of one?

Microsoft’s Dual Track Strategy for Mobile May Include Sidekick Refresh In 2010

When Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) unveiled Windows Phone 7 last month, we figured that was the extent of its comeback plans in mobile. But now, there’s evidence that the software giant has something else up its sleeve.

Two reports released today from unnamed sources indicate that Microsoft’s “Project Pink” is alive and well. Reuters reports that a new phone could launch with Verizon Wireless as soon as late spring or early summer, beating Windows Phone 7 to market. Separately, Gizmodo reported that based on third-party marketing materials, the phone looks a lot like a Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre; is not based on Windows Phone 7; and is likely running on software that Microsoft acquired when it bought Danger, the maker of the T-Mobile Sidekick.

Why Microsoft would choose a two-pronged mobile approach is not clear at this time, but perhaps it feels two platforms is necessary in order to satisfy the various different user bases in the market. Unfortunately, unless it’s done right, it will likely cause confusion and more fragmentation in the space.

Things should become more clear in the upcoming months, perhaps as soon as the end of March when the industry will gather in Las Vegas at CTIA.

For now, Gizmodo has some unconfirmed details about Project Pink (and more here):

—It looks like a Palm Pre.
—Verizon is a launch partner, but may not be the only launch partner.
—The phones aren’t running Windows Phone 7, unless it’s really hidden.
—It’s all about social networking.
—It has apps, which are likely not compatible with Windows Phone 7, so that leaves the door open to another SDK, or maybe suggests that it will be a closed app environment.

Regardless of how Project Pink turns out, it’s encouraging to see Microsoft moving quickly in mobile after taking a hiatus for the past year. At Microsoft’s financial meeting in July 2009, it said it was committed to mobile, and was ear-marking $1 billion in operating expenses for the division. For perspective, that that’s about a quarter of what it spends on PCs, and about half as much as it spends on search and advertising. In a statement, regarding its investments in mobile, a Microsoft spokesperson told us: “Mobility is one of Microsoft’s top investment areas and we are 100% committed to Windows Phones – now and in the future.”

Japanese whaling diplomacy fails, again

Australia and Japan have struggled yet again to strike a deal in a bitter dispute on whaling.

Australia and Japan have struggled to strike a deal in a bitter dispute on whaling but the US negotiator in intense talks says nations will keep seeking a compromise.

Key players on whaling are wrapping up three days of talks at a Florida beach resort where they debated a compromise to let Japan, Norway and Iceland hunt the ocean giants openly despite a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling.

In return whaling nations would agree to sharply reduce their catch over a 10-year period and put their activities under the close supervision of the 88-nation International Whaling Commission.

The US spokeswoman says Australia and Japan are emphasising their governments work together on many issues but neither side has signaled they're ready to completely meet the other one all the way.

Australia has led the charge against whaling and threatened to take legal action against Japan unless it sets a date to end its annual expeditions in the Antarctic.
