Motorola wins Apple wireless

A German court has ruled in favor of Motorola Mobility in a patent dispute with Apple.

The Android smartphone maker had complained that Apple does not license its intellectual properties of wireless.

Apple uses the technology on their iPhones and 3G iPads.

Motorola now might try to force Apple to remove the property of their devices or stop sales in Germany. However, Apple said it intends to appeal.

Motorola said the ruling validated his "efforts to enforce its patents against infringement of Apple."

Apple said: "We will appeal the ruling of the court immediately holiday shoppers in Germany should not have trouble finding the iPhone or the iPhone they want.".

If Motorola decides to take out an injunction blocking sales of Apple products, the case could lead to a confrontation between the maker of iPhone and Google - Motorola's shareholders have approved acquisition of the search giant of his company and treatment is due to be completed in 2012.

The fight against time
The case concerns Motorola's patents for a "method for performing a countdown function during a transfer of mobile-originated by a packet radio system."

Motorola licenses the patent to others in Frand (fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory) terms.

The patent owner Frand type is required to license out their technology to third parties because the invention has been declared essential to industry standard.

Apple had offered to pay a fee Frand-set in the future and was willing to pay a similar rate for past infringements. But he lost the case because it tried to retain the right to challenge the validity of the patent to the damage of the past.

They tried to do this because Motorola had defended their right to charge a fee beyond Apple Frand use of technology in the last four years. This could have been many times greater than the rate of Apple was willing to pay and could be expensive.

Motorola will put a 100m euro (£ 85m, $ 133 million) of bonds if it wants to impose an injunction against sales of Apple. The money will cover compensation to Apple if the decision was later revoked.

Motorola welcomed the decision.

"We will continue to take all necessary measures to protect our intellectual property, as the company's portfolio of patents and licensing agreements with companies in both the U.S. and around the world are critical to our business," said the offer Scott, senior vice president and general counsel of Motorola Mobility.

"We have been negotiating with Apple and offer reasonable terms and conditions of license since 2007 and will continue our efforts to resolve the patent dispute in the world, as soon as possible."

Nokia Prepares Volver a U.S

Nokia Corp. is preparing to enter the U.S. for their first device powered by Microsoft Corp. 's latest Windows software for smartphones, an attempt by the Finnish handset maker to enter the lucrative American market.

The debut will be next week, when T-Mobile USA announce plans to distribute the device, called Lumia, an event co-host with Nokia in New York, said a person familiar with the matter.
La Lumia 710, which sells for € 270 ($ 362) in Europe, was released in November in some countries. Nokia has not revealed what the phone will cost in the U.S. or companies will offer a service for him.


Few expect to threaten rapidly Nokia Research In Motion Ltd., whose market share a distant third place to run mobile 's Android operating system and Apple Inc., Google Inc. iPhone s. A large number of BlackBerry users RIM and established logistical obstacles and the cost of return for the services given to Waterloo, Ontario, the company "advantages with respect to [Nokia] Microsoft," says Gartner analyst Hugues De La Verne . But BlackBerry maker has stumbled badly this year and is now looking phone shipments fall and falling market share.
That's always a window of opportunity for Nokia, which despite being the world's largest maker of mobile phones for just 1% of U.S. market and is struggling to reverse its own sales fall.
Nokia fired its chief executive last year, and in February reached an agreement with Microsoft to promote its next generation of smartphones.


Chris Weber, head of Nokia in the U.S., said the company is committed to investing heavily in the new mobile market in 2012. He did not elaborate on plans for marketing and support of associations. AT & T Inc. has said it is in talks with Nokia to bring Windows smartphones next year. A spokesman for AT & T declined to comment.
Mr. Weber said the company wants to run for the first time smartphone users. But Nokia executives say they also go after corporate clients who have been armed with BlackBerrys.
"There is a very important business opportunity with these devices, and Microsoft and Nokia together they go after that market," said Nokia CEO Stephen Elop in a recent interview.
Mr. Elop said the new phones also offer search services and advertising capabilities, music, games and location-based that can compete with Android and Apple. "Between us and Microsoft, we deliver a third ecosystem," he said.
RIM declined to comment on the competitive threat in the U.S. Nokia has
RIM has promised its own next-generation phones, which it says will be running a new operating system. RIM has not given a release date. Analysts were expecting a release in early 2012 are now seeking the second half of the year.


Frightened by the rapids of RIM's market share and reduced uncertainty about the new BlackBerry phones, application developers and mobile operators in the U.S. sales of the mobile unit is no need for a third player to compete with Google and Apple.
"U.S. operators do not want their future depends entirely on Apple and Google," said Gartner analyst Hugues de la Verne.
A few months ago, a clash between Nokia and RIM was obviously a contest. Nokia phones will work with your old operating system rather than only 1% of U.S. market late in the third quarter, according to research firm Gartner. Phones from other manufacturers of mobile phones that have already run out of Microsoft had a share of 2.2%. Android phones accounted for 65% of U.S. smartphone at the end of the quarter, while the iPhone took 21%, according to Gartner. Great advances have come at the expense of RIM. It ranked a distant No. 3, with a little more than 10%.
"It makes sense for Nokia to try to target RIM," said Neil Mawston, an analyst at Strategy Analytics, a consulting firm in the UK "Taking into account the legacy of Microsoft in the enterprise [business], which is almost a truism. "

Samsung S2 Galaxy Beat iPhone 4S sales in the United Kingdom

Even with the popularity of the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4S recent reports have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S2 has surpassed the Apple device as the best-selling smartphone in the UK last month. This was reportedly due to problems in the supply of the iPhone 4S, which allowed the Samsung Galaxy S2 to surpass the device on the list.

The latest smartphone offering of Samsung has gone up in the list to eighth place despite the fact that it was only offered in the United Kingdom last November 17 or thirteen days before the month ended, which is way shorter than the time the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Apple iPhone 4S have been in the market.

The dual-core processor of the iPhone 4S along with the latest iOS 5 OS that offers more features including Siri and the iCloud has reportedly made it the most powerful Apple iPhone in the market although the problems on supply allowed the Samsung Galaxy S2 to surpass it on the list.

Some observers have reportedly considered the iPhone 4S as among the best smartphones due to the eight megapixel camera that it comes with the device although the Samsung Galaxy S2 has gone past the device on the list.
