HTC Countersues Apple

HTC, the maker of several phones that run on Google's Android platform, has sued Apple for patent infringement, in response to a suit that the iPhone maker filed against HTC weeks ago.

Senh: Now, we're talking. HTC started making cell phones long before Apple came into the scene with the iPhone. So did Nokia, who also counter-sued Apple recently. We'll see who has more lawyer power. At least the lawyers are happy.

Google in Talks With Verizon About a Tablet Computer

Google Inc. is in talks with Verizon Wireless to develop a tablet computer that would compete with Apple Inc.'s hit iPad. The tablet will run on Google's Android operating system ...

Senh: Google: "Whatever you can do, I can do better." Interesting that it's gonna run on Android rather than the Chrome operating system that they were building for netbooks. Will Microsoft follow suit and create a tablet to be run on Windows Mobile 7?

Google's iPhone rival gains momentum

Google's mobile platform has a ways to go before it can even think of surpassing the smartphone market share of RIM or Apple, but Android's been buoyed by a flurry of good news that points to greener pastures — although a recent hiccup with Google's would-be flagship phone, the Nexus One, should give the big brains in Mountain View a moment of pause.

Senh: I guess it's official - the Nexus One (aka the Google phone) is a dud. This is a case where they made a great phone, according to the reviews, but just didn't know how to sell it. I REALLY wanted this phone, but couldn't get it.

Did Google Just Multi-Punch Apple In The Face?

App Search: iDon't and Neither Does Droid

Sat, 10/31/2009 - 3:00pm — senh

With the iPhone, it's all about the apps. At least that's what the commercials on TV tell us. Naturally, I wanna see what apps are available on the App Store. Disappointingly, it only shows a categorized selection - out of the 100,000 that's available. Directories died a long time ago; just give me a search box.
