Apple files inaccurate evidence in Dutch Samsung case

Apple also has an ongoing case in Germany, part of a global intellectual property battle with Samsung in the mobile phone and tablet market. in addition to the charges that Samsung’s Galaxy devices are “slavish” imitations of Apple’s designs, the two companies are also clashing over several alleged patent infringements.

Apple has provided flawed visual evidence of similarities between the iPhone 3G and Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphones to the District Court in The Hague, an investigation by Dutch IDG publication Webwereld.nl has found. a picture of a Galaxy S smartphone has been resized to match an iPhone 3G.

During the court hearing last week, Samsung’s lawyer, Bas Berghuis of Simmons and Simmons, claimed that Apple has been “manipulating visual evidence, making Samsung’s devices appear more similar to Apple’s.” Berghuis, however, did not show evidence of his allegations.

Webwereld’s investigation found that one of the pictures provided by Apple as evidence in the Dutch case is either wrong or manipulated. on page 77 of the complaint, seen by Webwereld, Apple’s lawyers include a picture of an iPhone 3G next to a Samsung Galaxy S as “an example of the similarity relevant to copyrights.”

But the picture Apple submitted of the Galaxy S is inaccurate and does not match the real Galaxy S. The Galaxy S, introduced in The Netherlands in July 2010, is both taller and wider than the iPhone 3G.

According to Samsung, the dimensions of the Galaxy S are 122.4 x 64.2 mm. The iPhone 3G measures 115.5 x 62.1 mm. in the text, Apple confirms that the Galaxy S has “some non-identical elements, such as the slightly larger dimensions.”

But the picture of purported Galaxy S has been resized about 6 percent, making the Galaxy S appear smaller and more similar to Apple’s phone. The height of the purported Galaxy S that Apple displays matches the iPhone exactly. The aspect ratio has not been measurably altered.

Apple also provided an unknown number of other pictures of Samsung’s smartphones and tablets side-by-side with its own in separate productions, which were not available for inspection. There’s only one picture of an iPhone side-by-side with a purported Galaxy S in the complaint itself.

Earlier this week, Webwereld uncovered a similar case in Dusseldorf, Germany, where Apple has also filed faulty evidence in court. Apple’s German complaint contains a picture of an alleged Galaxy Tab 10.1, resized and its aspect ratio distorted so that it resembles the iPad 2 very closely.

Mark Krul, a lawyer at the Dutch firm WiseMen and a specialist in IT and intellectual property law, is astonished by the findings.

“It surprises me that for the second time incorrect presentations of a Samsung product emerge in photographic evidence filed in litigation,” he said. “This is not appropriate and undermines Apple’s credibility both inside and outside the court room.”

Krul said that litigating parties are required by Dutch law to provide “complete and truthful” evidence to the judge, adding that this is even more imperative when infringement on design and copyrights is alleged.

Krul noted a crucial difference with the German case, in which the judge granted a preliminary “ex parte” injunction, without a hearing or an opposition brief from the defendant. in The Hague, Samsung’s lawyers lodged an opposition and flagged the flawed evidence.

Krul doesn’t presume that the examples of the faulty evidence are malice on the part of Apple’s lawyers. “But Apple has certainly some explaining to do, if only to clear itself from the appearance of improper behavior,” he said.

Webwereld has briefed Apple and its Dutch counsel, Rutger Kleemans of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, on the results of the investigation and submitted questions to clarify the issue. He declined to respond. Samsung also declined to comment, citing ongoing litigation.

The complaint is only available for viewing at the court in The Hague. Due to these restrictions, Webwereld has made a rendering of Apple’s flawed evidence to present the findings visually.

In the Dutch case, Apple seeks a ban on all Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the European Union (E.U), including a complete recall of stock by European distributors and resellers. The court in the Hague will rule on Sept. 15. at the hearing last week, Judge Edger Brinkman stated that if he grants any injunctions against Samsung’s products, they would take effect no sooner than Oct. 13.

In Germany on Tuesday, the Dusseldorf District Court changed its preliminary injunction granted last week that prohibited Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in all E.U. countries except for The Netherlands.

The court, citing uncertainties about jurisdiction, changed its ban to allow Samsung to sell the product in all E.U. countries except for Germany. The first hearing in the case will start next Thursday in Dusseldorf.

Red Robot launches Life is Crime game with location-based play (exclusive)

There’s got to be more to location-based mobile games than checking in. that was the thinking behind the game startup Red Robot Labs and its first game, Life of Crime.

The game debuted on the Android Market yesterday, and it’s one example of the growing number of game developers who are targeting Google’s mobile operating system first before launching an iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) app. Life of Crime uses what Red Robot believes is going to be its critical asset: the R2 Gaming Network platform for making location games.

“From our view, nobody has cracked location gaming yet,” said Mike Ouye, chief executive and co-founder of Red Robot, in an interview.

A special version of the free-to-play game will be playable at the Penny Arcade Expo starting today in Seattle. The game can automatically put a layer on top of the map that looks and feels like a game (see picture). All of the major locations and landmarks are automatically identified. The map is persistent and it turns everyday places into contested criminal territory.

To perform missions, you have to be within range of about 500 meters or so of the location in question. Then the user can take over the building, rob it, leave loot, or search it for information or health packs. You can also gamble and win virtual currency at a location.

The players can add locations to the map. Users can operate in small gangs and build their reputation, energy, and other stats. You can customize your avatar, or virtual character, by buying clothes. You can level up your character and build your criminal reputation. Ultimately, the top player can become the Don of San Francisco or some other major area. once you own pieces of territory, those places can generate “protection” money for you.

Ex-Playdom veteran Ouye (pictured left) and Pete Hawley (pictured right), a veteran game developer at Electronic Arts and Sony, started the company earlier this year to focus on making games for hardcore gamers on Android mobile devices. they believe that’s an untapped market.

“I’ve made console games for 15 years and I’ve been frustrated that there isn’t more to do on mobile games,” said Hawley, chief product officer. “We’re trying to drive people to meet new friends and play games with them. It’s active game play, not checking in.”

The company has grown quite fast. in January, Red Robot raised $2 million in funding from Rick Thompson, the former chairman of Playdom, and Chamath Palihapitiya, a former board member at Playdom. Red Robot already has 18 people. Ouye hopes to grow the team to about 50 people this year.

Rick Thompson, co-founder of Playdom, said, “The proliferation of smartphones is the most exciting opportunity in gaming today – always on, location aware and socially connected.  Red Robot Labs is among the first to tap into the full potential of this new platform; and they have nailed it with Life Is Crime.”

Life is Crime is a mafia-style game where you can enlist people into your crew and incorporate real world locations into the landscape of the game. You can take over a location, as you can location apps such as Foursquare or Gowalla. but you can also do a lot more. if you meet another player, you can fight, send a gift, or friend them. You can take out other players or watch news feeds for the activity of your friends. You can drop off contraband for someone else to pick up. at the Penny Arcade event, there will be a special leaderboard for players at the show.

Although the game targets hardcore gamers, the actions you take in the game can be done in 30 seconds or so. in that way, the game competes with apps such as Foursquare while the user is waiting in a line for coffee. in tests with members of Google’s Android team, players played the game about eight sessions a day for about 45 seconds each.

Ouye says an iOS version of Life is Crime will likely come out in around 45 days or so. Rivals include Mafia Wars from Zynga and Mobsters from Disney Playdom. other check-in style rivals include Booyah’s MyTown as well as Foursquare, Gowalla and Shadow Cities. Ouye hopes to launch two more games this year.

“All of the other games take a different approach,” Hawley said. “We’re hanging our hat on location and a real game.”

LAST week’s bombshell announcement by Hewlett-Packard that it was hiving off its personal-computer business—and, in particular, would cease making tablet computers and mobile phones forthwith—was greeted with shock and horror, plus a 20% plunge in share price. Canny investors promptly snapped up the depressed stock, realising it was the smartest move HP has made in years. more than anything else, the announcement showed that the firm had finally seen the light about the tablet market—namely, that there is no such thing.What exists instead is a rip-roaring market for iPads. Tablets based on Google’s Android, Hewlett-Packard’s webOS, Microsoft’s Windows, and Research in Motion’s BlackBerry operating systems—have failed dismally to capture consumers’ hearts and minds the way Apple has with its iconic iPad. you only have to look at the numbers. Apple’s share of the tablet market is over 61% and growing, while all the Android tablets together make up barely 30% and are being squeezed. according to Strategy Analytics of Newton, Massachusetts, Windows tablets account for 4.6% and Research in Motion’s 3.3%. Sooner or later, the rest of the iPad wannabees are going to realise that, just because Apple has a runaway success on its hands, they cannot charge Apple prices for their hastily developed me-too products and expect consumers to clamour for them. it is not that Android tablets are technically inferior. Many more than match the iPad’s specification—though none feels quite as slim and svelte to the touch or as pleasing to the eye. nor do any of the pretenders work as instantly and instinctively when taken out of the box. Add the classy consumer experience offered by Apple Stores, and the iPad’s sales proposition becomes irresistible. but the ultimate killer feature that Android and other tablets have failed to replicate is the care Apple took from the start to ensure enough iPhone applications were available that took full advantage of the iPad’s 9.7-inch screen. Today, over 90,000 of the 475,000 applications available online from Apple’s App Store fully exploit the much larger screen size. By contrast, only a paltry 300 or so of the nearly 300,000 apps for Android phones have been fully optimised for the Honeycomb version of the Android operating system developed for tablets—though many of the rest scale up with varying degrees of success.Overall, the difference between Apple and the rest is that, with the iPad (as with the iPod and iPhone before it), Apple invented a whole new product category—one that seamlessly integrates the company’s own hardware with its own means of delivering applications and content. all that tablet-makers like Acer, Asustek, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard, Research in Motion, Samsung and Toshiba did was to squeeze a netbook computer into a thinner case by dispensing with the cover, keyboard and hard-drive. That made them, at best, suppliers of niche hardware. and yet, such is the hubris, they expect customers to pay Apple prices for their half-baked offerings.Take Hewlett-Packard’s now defunct TouchPad. This was priced initially at $499 for the basic 16 gigabyte version—the same starting price as the iPad. When there were few takers for the TouchPad because it was over-weight, under-developed and lacked key features like a rear-facing camera, the price was lowered to $399. and still the TouchPad failed to kindle interest among consumers. but when, last week, HP slashed the price to $99 to liquidate its unsold stock as it quit the business, TouchPads flew off the shelves faster than iPads have ever done. By some reckoning, three months supply disappeared in a day.

What this sorry episode makes incandescently clear is that the price point for basic iPad wannabees is somewhat more than $99 but a good deal less than $399. When better equipped (though bulkier) netbooks can be had for $250, tablet-makers need to set their sights below $200. There is just one problem: the cost of the components currently used comes to more than that. according to the market research firm iSuppli, the basic TouchPad cost Hewlett-Packard $306 to build.Put that down to HP’s higher costs and lower volumes. By contrast, Apple designs its own iPad processors, its own software, its own batteries and its own enclosures—and has huge advantages of scale when sourcing its components from China and elsewhere. with a retail price of $499, the basic iPad 2 is believed to cost around $265 to build. So, how come Barnes & Noble can sell its Nook Color—an Android tablet masquerading as an e-book reader—for $249? two factors are at work here. One is that the Nook Color has a more limited specification than most Android tablets on the market today. For instance, it has no front- and rear-facing cameras, no gyroscope, no GPS, no G3 wireless connection (only WiFi). it also has less internal memory, a seven-inch touch screen instead of the more usual ten-inch one, and relies on an older, less demanding version (Eclair) of the Android operating system. Skimping on components has probably saved $50 or more. the other reason is that Barnes & Noble is more interested in selling books and magazines than making fat profits from gizmos. the Nook is strategically important to the company’s future, having helped it grab more than 20% of the burgeoning e-book business in less than two years. Selling only through its own stores and online, the Nook’s retail markup is thought to be significantly less than the 50% on tablets generally.Interestingly, the Nook Color also provides clues to what Android tablet-makers will have to do if they are to survive and thrive. the device has no more bells and whistles than necessary, and it does the job it was designed to do extremely well. the screen, in particular, is exemplary. Barnes & Noble has promised to unleash more of the Nook’s hidden smarts in future releases. meanwhile, hackers have embraced the Nook, “rooting” its underlying Linux software (equivalent to “jail-breaking” an iPhone) so it can run many more applications from Google’s online app store and elsewhere. Plug-in memory cards loaded with the necessary software are now available on the web for $35 and up, Installed in seconds, these let the device boot either as a Barnes & Noble e-book reader or as a cheap and powerful Android tablet. Some owners are rooting their Nooks so they can use them as Kindle readers as well. Such developments have not gone unnoticed at Amazon.com. the Kindle-maker is expected to release a “game-changing” tablet this autumn, featuring the latest Android (Honeycomb) operating system with a seven-inch touch screen and a price widely rumoured to be under $300. while the actual specification has yet to be made public, the new Amazon tablet will doubtless offer all the features, and more, of a rooted Nook.Given the popularity of Amazon’s existing Kindle, analysts believe the new device will quickly outsell all other Android tablets on the market, including Samsung’s Galaxy Tab. and as the world’s biggest online retailer, delivering downloads of movies, music and games as well as books, Amazon will be in a strong position to challenge Apple’s awesome combination of iPad, iTunes and App Store.

Amazon has already shown that it can beat both Apple and Google to the punch by offering to store customers’ music collections in “lockers” in the cloud. Users can then access their tunes from any computer or Android device while on the move. Amazon’s “Cloud Drive” provides users with five gigabytes of storage for free. all together, that sounds like a pretty nifty way of building an Amazon-based ecosystem—and locking customers into it. Steve Jobs, Apple’s charismatic former boss and architect of its remarkable self-supporting ecosystem, must be more than a little concerned.

Iriver Story HD Review – Watch CNET’s Video Review

the Story HD supports the EPUB, PDF, TXT, FB2, and DJVU e-book formats, and the Office Viewer supports PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, DOC, DOCX, and HWP file formats. There’s no audio support of any kind, and while there’s a hidden Web browser, Iriver hasn’t chosen to surface it at launch so we’re not going to review its performance.

As with virtually all EPUB-compatible readers, the Story HD supports free library e-book lending via the Adobe Digital Editions software (also free). It’s a straightforward drag-and-drop process detailed below (the video uses the Nook, but the process is identical for the Iriver.)

As we said, our reading experience on the Story HD was good. Text looked sharp and well saturated and we had no trouble logging into the Google eBookstore with an existing Google account (Gmail) and downloading some free e-books. We also added some non-DRM EPUB files by transferring them to the device via a computer. They showed up in our library and opened fine.

ConclusionWe could spend more time nitpicking missing features like the lack of annotation capabilities (highlighting, note taking) or the limited lending capabilities and social-networking hooks that the Kindle and Nook offer. But as far as the core reading experience goes, as we said, the Iriver Story HD did a perfectly good job.

But aside from the small advantage of more-detailed images and slightly crisper text than the higher-resolution display delivers, there just isn’t anything else that would make us tell you to go out and buy this e-ink reader over the Nook or Kindle. Of course, if you’re someone who plans on viewing a lot of textbooks, cookbooks, or PDF files that have a lot of images and illustrations embedded in them, the Story HD might be worth stronger consideration. (Remember, however, that this is very much a monochrome device).

Likewise, if you already own an iPad or Android tablet (or an iPhone or Android phone), remember that you can already access Google Books via a free app.

Now, if the Iriver Story HD cost $99, things would get a lot more interesting. But it doesn’t (not yet, anyway), so it’s hard to recommend. That doesn’t mean it’s not a relatively well-designed e-reader that we actually liked in a lot of ways. But the competition has become pretty fierce in the e-reader arena, and while the Iriver HD Story measures up in many respects, it falls short in others.

Wholesale iPhone 4 Cases and Phone Accessories Available Online

Press Release Source: Shenzhen Wuzhou Changlian International Trading co., LTD On Wednesday August 3, 2011, 1:30 pm EDT

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — the iPhone’s up-and-coming technology has led to touch screen phone times. Its touch screen experience and AppStore application mode completely overturned the ideas of phone users toward traditional mobile phones, which most cell phone manufacturers are trying to copy,

The iPhone 4 enters into China after the cooperation with China Unicom, which creates a great increase in iPhone 4 users. It can be seen everywhere that users search various services through these phones.

During the cross investigation about the different ages of phone users, there is an obvious difference among them in the services they most use. For users under 30 years old, they play more games; for users 31-35 they are most likely to use reading digit series contents, while for those between 36 to 45 or above 45 years, they like to search for music contents.

With many reasons including the phones’ outstanding look, and ultra powerful functions there is a panic purchasing around the whole world. In many cities, people have to wait in a long queue or even for days to get their dream phone. some customers mentioned they are torn between leaving their phones uncovered to show their slim appearances and the want to protect them from any damage like dust, bumps and scratches. A series of iPhone 4 cases are now manufactured to meet customers’ different needs and wants. an iPhone 4 case that can protect the phone without covering its original look is no longer a big problem. In addition, such cases are always available in a variety of splash colors, from transparent, translucent white, black, green, blue and so on.

In order to show the phone users’ personalities, now custom made iPhone cases seem more and more popular, with their family’s name, lovers’ logo, or just an important date. Such a phone case can meet customers’ needs of protection to the phone and the decorative functions.

A variety of phone cases, mp3 player skins and tablets PC covers and relative accessories are available on callphonecase.com.

The Week in iPhone Cases: I am number four

There seems to be no let up in the tide of iPhone cases—they just keep on coming, dazzling us with cooler and cooler ideas that range from the fashionable, to the practical, to the definitely unusable. That’s great news for your faithful //Macworld// staff, of course, who is more than happy to bring you yet another instalment of our weekly iPhone case roundup!

Gametime Geeks: the company sells a number of cases that feature the officially-licensed logos of NCAA, NBA, MLB, NFL, and NHL teams. These include the Duo Shell for the iPhone 3G and 3GS ($25), and the Hard Case for the iPhone 4 ($30, compatible with all carriers). There is also a Silicon Case for Apple’s most recent handset ($25–$30, compatible with all carriers) and for the fourth-generation iPod touch ($25–$30) for those who prefer a softer feel.

iBattz: the Mojo Removable Battery Case ($80) adds protection and provides extra juice to your iPhone 4 by hooking it up to a 1,500 mAh battery that provides up to six hours of extra talk time, nine hours of video playback, and a whopping thirty hours of audio. better yet, the batteries are removable, and iBattz includes two in each package, doubling its power-extension capabilities at no extra cost (and without adding extra weight to your phone). the case comes in white or black.

ID America: the Cushi ($12) is a sereis of soft foam pads that protect the back of your iPhone 4 while adding a splash of color and a generous amount of attitude to your handset. It comes in a wide range of colour and pattern combinations, each with its own set of six home button covers, a complimentary microfiber cleaning cloth, and a clear adhesive screen protector.

iFrogz: the Bullfrogz ($35, compatible with all carriers) features rugged polycarbonate construction surrounded by a ribbed silicone exterior, providing the perfect combination of robustness and grip for even the clumsiest iPhone 4 users. It comes in black with green accents, orange with black accents, or silver with black accents.

LifeProof: the LifeProof ($70) is one tough case, built to resist water, dirt, snow, and shocks to let you take your iPhone 4 wherever you go, from the beach to the ski slopes. It even comes with a large number of complementary accessories, ranging from swimming headphone adaptors to a bike mount. the case is available in black, white, or pink.

Lootiful: Hey, is that a Gameboy in your pocket? no? then perhaps it’s an iPhone 4 with one of this company’s iPWN! 4 Cases ($18) slyly stuck to its back. Designed to bring a wave of nostalgia back for those of us old enough to remember what Nintendo’s original portable gaming system looked like, the iPWN doesn’t sacrifice protection in the name of looks: its three-layer construction keeps your phone safe from bumps and scratches, and is even designed to keep the screen away from surfaces when you rest the handset face-down.

Otterbox: the company’s Commuter Series case ($35, compatible with all carriers) has been updated with two new color combinations: black and yellow and black and blue. Otterbox’s cases are known for their extremely tough and durable construction, designed for an active lifestyle that requires an extra measure of protection and include a self-adhering clear screen protector.

Speck: the ToughShell ($50) is tough, durable, and versatile. It features three reinforced layers of protection and a detachable holster with a rotating clip that can also be used to prop up your iPhone 4 as a viewing stand. the comes in black, with grey accents—perfect for wearing with a business or elegant dress without being too conspicuous and flashy.

USBFever: a couple of cases from USBFever make their debut this week. the Fall-in-Love ($10) and the Jeans & Money ($10) share the same lightweight, anti-dust construction and fit your iPhone 4 perfectly. they feature printed patterns inspired by love and denim respectively, and feature all the appropriate cutouts to ensure ready access to the handset’s ports and cameras.
