Apple Sues Samsung for the Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and other Infringements

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal , Apple sued Samsung Electronics Co., claiming that Samsung’s Galaxy line of mobile phones and tablet copied Apple’s iPhone and iPad. For patent infringements.

The Filing claims

“Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple’s technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products,”

The lawsuit is kind of ironic, because Samsung manufactures key components that go into Apple Products, from Displays, to microchips and even camera sensors. This lawsuit ma actually sour the relationships between the two smartphone giants and result in other tie-ups.

The new Galaxy Tab is also the strongest rival to the iPad 2 , which may have been the biggest cause for the lawsuit.

AppGyaan: Top Apps of the Week Part 1: LinkedIn and Wheres My Droid
A Weekly dose of what we think are the top apps of this week.

1. LinkedIn :

LinkedIn is possibly the only social network for professionals, which has become popular all across the globe. Although the app for mobile platforms on iOS and Blackberry existed for some time the app was recently announced for the Android Platform. We reviewed the App and found it to be a perfect portable companion to the full desktop version of the app.

The app has six modules to view updates from your professional network, updates from newly established connections, changes to people’s profiles, and articles and information being shared by your contacts.

Something new to the application is the sharing aspect where now you can share news and information across facebook and twitter. it also allows you to share information among your contacts, making the network aspect of LinkedIn stronger.

You can also access the profiles of your connections and send them messages and invites. Messaging is an integral part of the network and is now fully featured in the app. You can also, read and respond to messages and invites directly from your mobile phone. Another new feature of the app is the” people you may know ” section which allows you to search for your contacts and aconnections easily suggesting the people through the search criteria and already existing connections.

Overall the app provides good interaction with the network, leaving little or no features compared to the desktop mode, we also like the module look which makes navigating through the app fairly simple. Some people also reported crashing and the app not working on some devices. We also faced issues on our Desire HD which was resolved after reinstalling the App.

2. Wheres my Droid.

Not everyone can afford an iPhone or an HTC phone, that come with an added feature of geo-locating the device. Also making a device ring even though its in silent mode should be easier than just logging on to the internet and opening websites and whatnot. This is where “Wheres my Droid” comes in. a free and novel app that allows users to find their phone by simply making it ring at full volume.

“How do you make it ring?” you ask. Well just use any other cellphone around you and sms a pre-defined passcode message to your device. The message with the passcode will trigger the app which in turn will trigger the phones ringer to ing at full volumes. a fairly simple idea which well “WORKS”. The app also gives the users ability to customize the passcode to one that you remember.

Now the feature that was most interesting to us was the fact that you can also find the location of the device using this app. Using a different GPS only passcode you can ping the device to send you back an SMS with the location based in google maps. This feature works brilliantly if you have a smartphone which has google maps installed(mostly all smart-phones have Google MAPS). we tested it out and it worked brilliantly between our iPhone and our “lost Desire S”

Windows 8 Can be Run from a USB Stick

A leaked copy of Windows 8 spread like wildfire in the recent week. Daily new tidbits and features are being discovered about the new mammoth from Microsoft. The newest information rocking the market is the fact that the user with a retail disk can make actual usb copies of the operating system and carry them, like portable ubuntu.

This could also give piracy a whole new push with cds becoming the old and portable os becoming the new. Bootable Windows 8 on a USB 3.0 drive anyone? As tempting as it may sound, a minimum 16GB pendrive is required for the task and looks like USB 3.0 is yet to be found commercially.
