Apple Loses Patent Lawsuit Against Samsung In Japan Apple Inc. lost a patent lawsuit in Japan as a Tokyo judge ruled that Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) smartphones and a tablet computer didn’t infringe on an Apple invention for synchronizing music and video data with servers. “It’s hard to believe the products belong to the range of technologies of the claimant,” Shoji said in dismissing Apple’s case.Apple was ordered by Tokyo District Judge Tamotsu Shoji today to pay costs of the lawsuit after his verdict, the latest decision in a global dispute between the technology giants over patents used in mobile devices. Samsung shares rose, erasing earlier losses. Apple and Samsung are battling over the smartphone market, estimated by Bloomberg Industries to be worth $219 billion last year, with patent disputes being litigated on four continents. Apple won a $1.05 billion verdict in the U.S. on Aug. 24, with a jury finding that Suwon, South Korea-based Samsung infringed six of seven patents for mobile devices. The two companies are also bound by commercial deals involving components supply. Apple, the maker of iPhones, sued Samsung, the world’s biggest maker of mobile phones, in Tokyo last year, claiming the Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S II infringed the patent on synchronization, and sought 100 million yen ($1.3 million) in damages, according to court documents. The Galaxy series of products in Japan is offered by NTT DoCoMo Inc. (9437), the country’s biggest mobile-phone company. U.S., Korea Rulings Samsung welcomed the decision, the company said in a statement. Carolyn Wu, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment. Shares of the South Korean company rose as much as 1.6 percent after the ruling, and were trading at 1.227 million won at 2:08 p.m. in Seoul. Samsung doesn’t provide sales figures for Japan. The company generated about 12 percent of its revenue from Asia, excluding South Korea and China, in the quarter ended June 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Cupertino, California-based Apple got 5.7 percent of its sales in Japan during the same period, according to the data. “This will likely turn the tide in favor of Samsung,” said Kim Hyung Sik, Seoul-based analyst at Taurus Investment Securities Co. “Samsung had this win in a country that’s strong at intellectual property. The mood is turning positive for Samsung.” IPad, IPhone Bans Both companies were barred from selling some phones and tablet computers in South Koreaon Aug. 24 when a Seoul Central District Court ruled they infringed each other’s patents. Apple was ordered to stop selling the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1 and iPad 2 in South Korea, while Samsung must stop selling 12 products including the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab. Apple was also ordered to pay Samsung 40 million won ($35,000) and the South Korean company must pay its U.S. rival 25 million won for the patent infringments. In the U.S., where Samsung had been barred from selling the Galaxy 10.1 tablet, Apple sought to extend the ban to eight models of Samsung smartphones following the jury verdict. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, has scheduled a Dec. 6 hearing on Apple’s request. In Australia, a preliminary ban on Galaxy 10.1 tablet sales was overturned by the highest court in December. A judge last month began hearing Samsung’s claim that Apple products infringe its patents on wireless transmission. That trial also includes Apple’s claim that Samsung phones and tablets infringe its patents on touch-screen technology. Samsung retained its position as the world’s biggest seller of smartphones in the second quarter, holding about 35 percent of the market, Strategy Analytics said in July. Apple had the second slot with about 18 percent, according to the market researcher. The Japan case is Apple Inc. (AAPL) v. Samsung Electronics Japan. Case No. Heisei 23 (WA)27941.

Yes, thats the best part of Otixo.

I feel we are in Cloud Era with multiple cloud storages available, that too free, to name few, they are Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, skydrive, etc. The next challenge comes on managing these free services at east. Hence it becomes essential to manage multiple cloud services with some sort of tool(s) that will save our precious time and efforts. Apparently, third-party developers always jump onto bandwagon to offer all-in-one solution to the users in need. Instead of concentrating on hardcore features of different cloud storage service, we will concentrate on management of those services only. But why use such management tool you ask? Imagine a scenario where you use multiple services to store multiple images, one from your Instagram folders and other to backup images from Flickr. How is it possible to remember which service used you to backup what files? Now you understood the need of managing multiple cloud storage services, don’t you? I am sharing couple of these tools which will help you to manage all your cloud storages at one place: Primadesk Primadesk application goes one step ahead by providing dedicated iPhone and Androidbringing cloud service management on your palm. It is a comprehensive tool that will not only let you manage multiple cloud storage service but also other services like Yahoo!, Flickr, Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and more. The list of services supported of Primadesk is long. For cloud service users, it offers Dropbox, Box.net, SugarSync, Google Docs services. Unified inbox will let you manage various email services like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! from a single interface. It is extremely useful if you often use multiple email services or multiple accounts. Search function will let you search for your content, docs, files across various services. Users can search by date range, topic and content type. Drag and drop photos to multiple online services like Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and other. This will help you to upload images on multiple services on one go. Otixo Otixo is a free (and paid) service that will let you manage multiple cloud storage accounts from a single interface. While paid service offers unlimited bandwidth, free version lets you use 250MB bandwidth usage per month. Otixo is available on both Mac and Windows making it easy to manage different accounts on most popular OS. It will enlist all your files on cloud to enable you to manage them. Speaking of management, you can search files across multiple services, share them with friends and colleagues, preview them, copy and move them across different cloud services etc. Otixo supports different services like Dropbox, Box.net, SkyDrive, Google Docs, Picasa, MobileMe, Amazon S3, FTP sites and WebDav account. This web app is extremely simple to understand and integrates well on both OS (Windows and Mac). However, 250MB bandwidth could left your in agony if you’re frequent users of cloud service. Hope you will like it

SkyDrive by Microsoft is now have official app.

Few days back I shared Indian Railway app which can track your WL tickets and give timely updates for status changes besides other usual stuff. Again, I came across this excellent app with which you can book train ticket, save it offline(now you dont have to carry printout of etickets) and all other things. Here it is: Play link Description This application is aimed at enhancing the User Experience on IRCTC. This is NOT an alternate solution for Tatkal bookings. It will not work while IRCTC mobile site is down. Key Features: -Auto Login. -Intelligent Session Timeout detection & Auto retry Login. -Auto Fill Journey details on Book Ticket Form. -Access your Tickets Offline, Never carry a printed E-Ticket again. -Faster page loading, No images are downloaded except when extremely necessary. -Avoids unwanted usage of IRCTC resources, It never create a new session if existing session still valid. -Major IRCTC navigation are redesigned(UI) with latest Android ICS design patterns. -Designed in multi-threaded architecture to utilize multi core processors. -YOU CAN USE ANY DEBIT CARD FOR THE PAYMENT. (Choose "Other Bank Master/Visa Debit Card" option at payment page.) Limitations: -The application’s Online functionalities are highly depends on IRCTC mobile web page(www.irctc.co.in/mobile), and it will not work if mobile webpage is down. -Journey date will not be listed in Offline Tickets as IRCTC not included it in the Ticket Details of mobile web page. PS : IRCTC does not have any official Android app, all it has a mobile website which rarely works.

Motorola’s Patent Lawsuit Against Apple Goes After Siri, Location Reminders, Email Notifications & More On Friday, Google’s Motorola Mobility unit filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Apple with theU.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in Washington. So far, Motorola has only confirmed that this lawsuit has indeed been filed. The details of the lawsuit remain elusive, as the actual documents won’t be available on the ITC’s website until Monday and Motorola hasn’t released any concrete information about its allegations, yet. We have now learned, however, that the lawsuit, which seeks to ban imports of Apple’s hardware into the U.S., accuses Apple of infringing on seven of Motorola’s patents. These patents involve location reminders, email notifications, video playback and Siri, the flagship feature of Apple’s current iOS lineup. According to this information, Motorola’s lawsuit argues that virtually every single hardware product Apple currently sells in the U.S. (with the exception of the classic iPod and iPod nano) infringes upon these seven patents. Sadly, that’s the extend of the information we have so far, but we will update this post once we learn more or once the full text of the lawsuit is available online on Monday. When Google bought Motorola, it also acquired the company’s 17,000 patents (and 7,000 pending ones). At the time, many pundits assumed that one of the reasons for the acquisition was this trove of patents. Google itself, by virtue of being a relatively young company, does not have enough patents to defend its Android OS and other mobile projects from potential lawsuits by more established players in today’s litigious environment. Now, as the patent wars continue to escalate, it looks as if the company is ready to use Motorola and its patents to go on the offensive. http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/18/motorolas-patent-lawsuit-against-apple-targets-siri-location-reminders-email-notifications-more/ Poor Apple.....and poor Apple fanboys.....

Hi Vinay, I am interested in the Video out cable. If Dipan does not require it, I will take it.

Happy Birthday Arun Ji...........

I am no longer in contact with my seller. :-( Any other alternatives ? Simple IP in the M.IP tab. What do you mean by NET user/paas? Where do i get those ?? Put net/net which is default. Do opt for some data plan. You can search and find details on our forum.

Is it Simple IP or Mobile IP on M.IP tab? And on PPP UM tab, you have to put your Net user/pass(not the evdo).
