Scandal: Nokia stole the design of the new players Apple. Or vice versa

On the Internet there was a funny picture, which, if they see the right people can be a starting point for a new patent battle of Apple (and she takes them on almost all continents).


Apple, if you remember, does not forgive those who repeats. Samsung, for example, the American judges were forced to pay a billion dollars. Nokia once had blacklisted the company was not included, but there are fears that it will soon add.

Take a look at this picture - Nokia Lumia and the new iPod Nano is really very similar. The same rectangular shape, the same "stuck" curved screen (only Nano it with a white border). Colours and the like. Just outrageous. Is Apple abusive?


If we go into the history of design away, remember iPod Nano, introduced in September 2010, well before all the Lumia. And here there is a sneaking suspicion that Apple is not repeated, Nokia, on the contrary, because the smartphone Lumia looks like two glued together Nano model 2012.

Of course, this is all just fun and irony, it was too tired from all the legal battles Apple and competitors. However, few will be surprised if any claims based on this frivolous comparisons do occur.

September 18 Intel and Motorola made ​​a presentation of a new product

September is full of simple announcements of different mobile manufacturers. Some have already reported, some preparing for the show today, Motorola (like HTC) delayed presentation to the 18th.

Information that the U.S. company would be something present to the public on September 18, has already appeared on the network, but the official invitation to the event came just now. In the latest commercial for Motorola in conjunction with Intel promises us something very powerful and fast, indicating that it was "time to forget about the limitations."


Given the fact that the presentation of Motorola joined Intel, we can expect the announcement of the smartphone processor-based Atom Medfield. In this theory fit into the allegations that Motorola bring to Europe a new smartphone RAZR M processor with Intel. And the word "borderless", used in the teaser seems to be taken literally, as the RAZR M has a very thin frame display.

So, mark your calendar to another important date and look forward to new announcements.

Thickness ultrabook new generation will be reduced to 15 mm

As part of the annual conference for developers IDF Intel representative told us what they see ultrabooks next generation.

Thickness on the market ultrabooks usually is 17-20 mm. In Intel expects that the next generation will be able to reduce the thickness of a few millimeters. Thus, as part of the event was showcased ultrabook NEC LaVie Z thickness of 15 mm, which is available from the end of August on the market in Japan.

Create thinner laptops will allow the development of the industry of electronic components, explained in Intel. Thus, the thickest part of the hard drive will be - 5 mm. This newly introduced Western Digital. The thickness of the battery will be from 3 to 5 mm and keyboard - not more than 2.5 mm, and the LCD screen - 2.4 mm.

In addition, with the release of the fourth-generation Core processors (codenamed Haswell) in the future, Intel expects to significantly increase the battery life of ultrabooks. The TDP of these processors will be between 10 watts.

Samsung and HTC are waiting for iPhone 5

Today will be welcome to many presentation of the 6th generation smartphone from Apple - iPhone 5. With great trepidation this presentation offers lawyers Samsung and HTC: if the new iPhone will support networks LTE, then Apple gets into an interesting situation.


Samsung has more than 12% of all patent rights, one way or another related to LTE, and HTC recently purchased 2 more LTE-patent. HTC representatives said they did not slow down with the filing of lawsuits against Apple, in the case of such a possibility.

HTC has a very good chance to achieve in the International Trade Commission ITC ban sales of the new iPhone 5 in the U.S., as it is primarily about patents registered in the United States. So, it may soon come the next round of the patent war against Apple.

Nokia will punish those responsible for the creation of misleading promotional materials

Last week, Nokia showed a new generation of smartphones, and especially praised their ability to record video and create images. Promotional materials did look impressive: even in the dark picture is excellent. But then there was a scandal, and it became clear that the videos and photos were taken not on the Lumia 920, but with the help of professional equipment.

To be honest, not a good development for Nokia, for which the new smartphones will be almost the last hope for the revival of the market. Now consider that the potential buyers, which almost deceived about the options of the main model? In fairness, we note that the Lumia 920 does create a good photo in the dark, but not as much as in the demo materials (detailed test chamber smartphone spent journalists The Verge, the results can be seen here).


Nokia has promised to conduct an internal investigation to find out how you can prevent such a marketing blunder. She is very sorry that it happened.


"As far as we understand now, mistake was made by accident. But it was foolish not to prevent the video and photos that content created by another device and not the one that shows how to ", - said the representative of Nokia Sezan Sheehan (Susan Sheehan).


Sheehan declined to name the company that has produced a promotional video.


«Nokia will deal with the issue quickly and fairly quiet," - she said.

Analysts said the gaffe during the announcement is unlikely to affect sales of Lumia 920, but it may adversely affect the value of shares in Nokia.

YouTube application is available for iOS

About a month ago, the network has information that Apple has removed the YouTube app from iOS 6. The reason given was called the expiration of the license, YouTube client in mobile OS. However, the program can already be downloaded from the App Store.

Exterior applications like Google+ client for iOS. According to those who have already tested the new YouTube on iPhone, the program features high performance and functionality is almost identical to Android-counterpart.

Instead of buttons at the bottom of the screen commonly used gestures such as swiping your finger to the right, you can open the list of subscribed channels and other content. Similarly, you can flip through the comments without interrupting the video view. Added ability to display subtitles, improved search and auto-complete system, improved integration with popular social networks.

While the client is only available for YouTube iPhone, iPad tablet support will come later.

Update third-generation iPad is expected in autumn

The rumors that this fall we are waiting for some updated third-generation iPad, appear with surprising regularity. At this time, representatives of the research firm DisplaySearch have decided to share new information about changing your iPad, as well as to explain the possible reasons for such a sudden update. The main reason for the update tablet model is the appearance of a reduced dock connector and new IGZO screens Sharp.

In the most recent research company DisplaySearch found out that the updates are expected iPad simultaneously with iPad Mini, probably this fall for the premiere will have a special event. Currently, Apple is actively working on the supply of screens for an updated version of the third-generation iPad. New screens will have to be cheaper, but it is thinner, lighter, and less energy.

The third generation iPad was a bit thicker and heavier than its predecessor, so now Apple is working to release a new tablet with a dock connector for compatibility with new accessories that will begin to appear after the premiere of iPhone 5. Another objective is to reduce the update and cheaper battery, which is very positive impact on the cost of a tablet.

By and large, this update is more of interest to the company and to the new buyers. Those who already own the third-generation iPad will not see for themselves the causes of change in the updated version of the tablet, so the disappointment of what happened update should arise.

If Apple did release an updated model in the middle of an established life-cycle, it can be a signal that the spring waiting for the fourth generation of the iPad is not worth it. It is possible that Apple, refusing numbering plates, decided to put them in the model number is closer to computers and notebooks, not smart phones. In principle, this step is logical, since few people are ready to change the pads with as often as the iPhone. By themselves, the plates are fairly stable platform, so that significant updates can go about the same periodicity as the iMac and MacBook, but not every year.

HTC smartphone sales continue to fall

Despite all the efforts of the HTC attract the attention of customers to the company's products, the financial position of the Taiwanese manufacturer continues to be extremely difficult. According to recently published reports, in August sales volumes HTC dropped another 4 percent compared to July, and by 47 percent compared to the same period last year.

Against the background of stable growth of smartphone sales Samsung led Galaxy S3, as well as a quick release of the iPhone 5, it's clear that HTC plans to strengthen its position in the company of the world's leading manufacturers of smartphones and tablets have failed, and the company must urgently seek a way forward.


Taiwanese manufacturer can continue to try to produce high-quality smartphones, but in matters of marketing resources and well-established distribution network to the level of Samsung or Apple HTC still does not hold.

Experts predict that in the near future to companies like Sony and Motorola will be able to bypass HTC in shipments of smartphones. Nor should we ignore the ambitious Chinese newcomers in the face of Huawei and ZTE, which are also actively looking for options to expand its presence in the international market.

One of the possible directions of development that can improve the situation a few HTC, experts have called the making of devices on the new platform Windows Phone 8. If successful, the start of sales of these devices in the fourth quarter of the Taiwanese manufacturer is able to correct its order statistics of sales in the current year. But do not forget that there are competitors like Nokia and Samsung are not planning just to lose market share.

It must be noted that the recent rumors are increasingly linked with the name of the Taiwanese manufacturer of devices for the creation of brands such as Facebook or Beats, why HTC is always the option to return to their ODM-roots ...

Sony Xperia T and V are ahead Galaxy S III and HTC One X in tests

After a recent presentation, where the company has demonstrated a new range of Sony Android-based smartphones, many experts have criticized the Japanese manufacturer for not too hasty transition to quad-core processors. After all, the flagship Xperia T / Xperia TX, and waterproof smartphone Xperia V are based on are not the most advanced dual-core Snapdragon S4 «Krait».

Mozilla company and its partner Telefónica showed samples of portable devices running the new operating system, Firefox OS. New smartphones will be available in Brazil in the beginning of next year.

Firefox OS is a web-based platform, which is based on the popular mobile browser. Therefore, applications that run on the new smartphones will not be permanently assigned to a particular operating system, such as iOS, Android or Windows Phone. The above approach ensures many advantages. For example, users who choose to buy a new cell phone, do not have to worry about its compatibility with familiar applications and existing content.

As in other modern mobile operating systems, each application will be submitted to a separate icon on the home screen. The developers have also been claimed to support the functions «pinch-to-zoom» and embedded editing photographs. By the way, despite the "online" nature of the new operating system, users can work with the most important applications even when not connected to the Internet.

The list of partners includes Mozilla and other big telecom companies (Sprint, Deutsche Telekom, Smart and Telecom Italia) and manufacturers (TCL, ZTE and Qualcomm).

The creators of Firefox OS is not going to compete with manufacturers of powerful and expensive smartphones. Their main task is placing on the market today-end mobile devices, offered at an affordable price. However, Mozilla plans can not be called unambitious. Currently, the company is standardizing 40 additional API-interface that Web developers will have access to various mobile phones (such as vibration, the mechanisms of the dial, the charging battery, etc.) and be able to expand the functionality of their applications.

Apple revenge Samsung

... A decline in orders for the supply of memory chips for the upcoming iPhone 5.



According to the Korea Economic Daily, Apple removed the name from a list of Samsung memory chips for the first batch of the new iPhone. According to the "Reuters", Cupertino only reduced the size of their orders.

Korean giant is a key partner for the supply of critical components for the iPhone 5, including processors, displays, memory chips. But Apple in the light of large-scale trials with Seoul is trying to spread the supply chain components among different companies. Thus, if the RAM chips and flash memory is actually only one supplied by Samsung, now they are engaged Toshiba, Elpida and SK Hynix. But the batteries now have to do with the Koreans and the Chinese and Japanese Amperex Technology Panasonic. Supply of displays for the iPhone 5 is largely are coming from LG, a leading competitor Samsung.

Pogo Connect deprive Galaxy Note main advantage

Company Ten One design, manufacturers of different stylus for touch screens, and decided that owners of devices Galaxy Note it is time to leave without their main advantages and announced Pogo Connect - Stylus with Bluetooth 4.0, touch sensitivity. New product made by special technology Crescendo Sensor, which makes the pen very sensitive to the touch response and handles even the slightest touch on the screen. Crescendo Sensor operates at any angle and provides hundreds of levels of touch sensitivity, without any calibration.

Developers will need to update their applications to work with the new Pogo Connect, but it is already 12 applications fully support the new stylus: Brushes, PDF Pen, Procreate and others. Soon there will be support for a new stylus and Paper Noteshelf.

Another nice feature of novelty is that the stylus has no moving parts, which would provide him with greater strength, resistance to external influences and ease of use.

Pogo Connect will be available for pre-order on October 1, and the cost of new items will be $ 79.95. The first 2000 customers will get a nice bonus in the form of a blue tiger on the body caused by laser engraving.

To be fair, this technology still is a compromise, and lags behind S Pen, kotoyre used in Galaxy Note at least due to the fact that here we are talking about the stylus for capacitive screens, but Samsung uses a very fine pen. In any case, stylus, touch sensitivity - this is what was missing many owners of iPad, so Pogo Connect - accessory, which you should definitely pay attention to.
