Juror in Android lawsuit: "Oracle didn't come close"

With the jury portion of Oracle’s epic lawsuit against Android concluded, jurors are allowed to speak with the media. So far only the jury foreman has agreed to be interviewed, but his comments shed quite a bit of light on how well the trial went for both sides, and how close either side came to winning different portions of the trail. In the copyright portion of the trial, the big item that Oracle hoped to win was demonstrating that Google copied the sequence and structure of 37 java APIs. Google didn’t deny that they had – they instead made two defenses; first the claimed that you simply cannot copyright APIs, a claim that the judge will be ruling on as early as next week. But since the jurors were instructed to assume APIs can be copyright for the sake of rendering a verdict, Google also...

Two versions of the Apple iPhone being tested says report, both with 3.999 inch screen

According to 9to5Mac, at Apple HQ, testing is taking place on a couple of prototype handsets, one of which will probably become the next Apple iPhone 5. The prototypes are disguised by being put in thick black shells which are designed to hide the true identity of the phone inside. Two of the models being tested have larger screens than the current 3.5 inches that used to be considered generously sized when the first Apple iPhone was launched in 2007. Since then, we have seen the envelope widen from the 4.3 inches that seemed so large on the HTC HD2 to the 5.3 inches on the Samsung GALAXY Note. The two Apple iPhone prototypes with the larger screen are internally called the iPhone 5,1 and the iPhone 5,2. Both the iPhone 5,1 and the iPhone 5,2 are in the PreEVT stage of testing and go by the...

LG Nitro HD gets a leaked build of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

When 720p displays are no longer deemed as unique, we sometimes forget that the LG Nitro HD was actually the first AT&T smartphone to offer one – then again, it’s still sporting Gingerbread. So yeah, some people have probably tried looking at other things to quench their thirst for the latest and greatest Android build. Well, if you’re still in possession of the LG Nitro HD and fancy having Ice Cream Sandwich running on your device, you’ll be interested to know that a leaked build of it is now available. Sure, it’s an early build and might not be one-hundred percent, but for the most part, people are reporting that it’s stable enough to warrant checking out – according to the responses over at xda-developers.In fact, it seems as though a bunch of the handset’s variants were tested to...

Yahoo launches Axis, it's new mobile browser that is also a search tool

Yahoo is entering the crowded and competitive world of mobile browsing on Wednesday night when it launches Yahoo Axis on the Apple App Store. The browser can also be used as a plug-in for IE, Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Obviously, with the Yahoo name, search is a major function and instead of  a list in blue print you get visual responses to a query. For example, search for a web site and you will get a visual representation of the site. Yahoo says it has images representing 85% of all web sites. Bing will still be used for algorithmic search, but Yahoo will present results based on its long database of user history. While searching with the browser, users will be able to see what's trending, answers and thumbnails of the top search results. Click on one of the thumbnails and Axis becomes...

T-Mobile looking to pair up with a carrier rather than sell itself off

It appears that the AT&T acquisition shenanigans of last year have left a bad taste in the mouth of Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s parent company. As a result they are no longer looking to sell the company outright, according to Rene Obermann, the CEO of Deutsche Telekom. Speaking at an annual meaning in Germany, Obermann went on to elaborate, saying “We do not exclude any option for the T-Mobile unit in the U.S., also not a merger, (but) a complete sale is unlikely. You understand that I can’t say more in public on T- Mobile USA.”In the past Dish has expressed an interest in pairing up with T-Mobile to build out an LTE network, while other analysts have speculated that T-Mobile’s network could be paired up with either MetroPCS or even Sprint. In the meantime, T-Mobile has responded to...

Five Nexus devices rumored to hit the market on November 5th, Android's 5th birthday

A reliable source for TalkAndroid says that Google is going to celebrate the 5th birthday of Android on November 5th by releasing five different Nexus devices from 5 different manufacturers. There is also speculation that by Thanksgiving (November 22nd), Google will be selling the devices in the Google Play Market. What makes this fascinating is the earlier speculation that the next Nexus would be powered by Android 5.0, Jelly Bean. There also has been some talk about a Nexus tablet to be released this year. This is one of those times when we clearly need to wait to hear from Google itself. We've already passed on much of this information to you already, but now we have a better handle on when to expect the five Nexus devices to launch. Google I/O is going to be on June 27th which means we...

Stolen iPhone records thief's cruise-ship adventures for all to see

First and foremost, don’t steal peoples’ stuff. It’s just not nice. But if you are the sort of person who would steal and keep say…someone’s iPhone… here’s a pro-tip for you: Wipe the damned phone! Otherwise the camera roll may share the images with the original owner and they could end up places you'd rather not see them, like say posted to a social networking site. As you may have guessed, this isn’t some hypothetical discussion: Disney cruise passenger Katy McCaffrey had her iPhone stolen by an employee while she was on a Disney Wonder Cruise. The employee's name was apparently Nelson. How does she know? Because she can read his name tag in the photos he continued to snap using her iPhone, and those photos are now available on her Facebook account in a public album labeled “Stolen iPhone...

FCC filing mentions the Samsung Omnia M will be packing GSM and 3G radios

It was a mere 10 days ago when we first reported about pre-orders for the Windows Phone powered Samsung Omnia M, as an Italian online retailer started accepting them, but now it’s been spotted hanging out over at the FCC. Looking into the filing, we find that the Samsung Omnia M will be sporting GSM and 3G radios only, so if you’re looking for next-generation LTE connectivity, you’ll want to check out AT&T’s Samsung Focus 2 instead, which so happens to pack somewhat similar specs. Just to jog you memory, the Samsung Omnia M features a 4” Super AMOLED display, single-core 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel rear camera, front-facing VAG camera, and Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.As it currently stands, there’s no word regarding carrier availability, but it could also possibly end up becoming nothing...

T-Mobile Prism can now be snagged at T-Mobile stores and online for $20

Sure it’s not the highest regarded Android smartphone on the scene, but nevertheless, the T-Mobile Prism has finally made its way to the carrier’s retail stores and online – albeit, it’s been made available since early May at places like Best Buy and Walmart. You heard that right people, the T-Mobile Prism can now be purchased at your local T-Mobile store, which is something a bit different seeing carrier own stores normally get first dibs on new devices. Then again, exclusive deals can make other things happen in the process.Surely, its $19.99 on-contract price point is more than affordable on any budget, but strangely enough, it’s sporting a $219.99 no-contract price as opposed to the initial $149.99 mentioned in its official press release a few weeks  back. Doing the math, that’s...

FCC filing reveals the Kyocera Hydro - looks to be Sprint bound

Not too long ago, we managed to get some hands-on time with the rugged type Kyocera Hydro – an entry-level spec’d  Android powered smartphone that’s waterproof to a certain extent. Interestingly enough, it’s made its way over to the FCC, where we’re given some interesting insights about its potential carrier availability. Looking over the FCC filing, the Kyocera Hydro is attached with the familiar C5170 model number, but it seems that tests show that it’s packing a CDMA 1900MHz radio, which alludes to the distinct possibility that it’ll be coming to Sprint’s lineup. Of course, it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise considering that they offer plenty of Kyocera-made devices.Also, the FCC filing confirms that it’ll be packing 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. However, the main attraction...

Jury finds that Android does not infringe on Oracle's patents

After a week of deliberations on the second phase of the Oracle v Google trial (this one covering patents), a jury has ruled decisively in favor of Google and the little green robot, acquitting Big G of infringing on any of the patents that Oracle asserted against them. Given the finding the judge has dismissed the jury and the trial is basically over. The trial was scheduled to have a third phase where the jury would assess damages to be awarded to Oracle, but Oracle won nothing in the copyright phase that would be worth more than statutory damages (that’s about $150,000 for those of you keeping track), and nothing at all in the patent phase, so there is no longer a reason to have a damages portion of the trial. Judge Alsup still needs to write up his ruling on whether or not APIs can even...

Sony Xperia S Android 4.0 update on video

Last week, we told you that Sony would be updating the Sony Xperia S with Android 4.0 in the second part of this quarter. As Sony explained, it had mistakenly announced earlier updates for the model because the manufacturer inexplicably included this newly launched handset with its 2011 models when it wasn't until earlier this year that the phone was launched. It seems that some video of the Android 4.0 update for The Sony Xperia S has been found on YouTube and covers just about all aspects of the updated OS except for the browser. You will note that the camera is now accessible from the lock screen and the new OS includes the Walkman player that Sony earlier said was coming on the Sony Xperia GX and Sony Xperia SX. Sony has also added re-sizable widgets. Even if you know only English, it...

Another high level RIM executive jumps ship

Research in Motion suffered another setback today, as Patrick Spence, their executive VP that was in charge of international sales is leaving the company after 14 years. The move was confirmed by RIM spokeswoman Rebecca Freiburger. Freiburger indicated that Spence was not leaving to a competitor, but instead planned to take a job in an unrelated field. Attracting and retaining talent has been a growing problem as their stock price tumbles and BlackBerry handsets continue to hemorrhage market share. While several executives have jumped ship from RIM in the past year, this one is notable because Spence was in charge of international sales – the one area that had seen growth for them over the last 18 months. Spence had become becomes something of a BlackBerry evangelist, and reportedly was in...

Toshiba launches new Regza tablets in Japan ranging in sizes 7 to 13 inch

Toshiba announced the launch of its new four-model line of Regza tablets, ranging from 7 inch all the way up to a gigantic 13 inch model. While the model launches are initially only available in Japan, it will be interesting to see if the unfamiliar sizes will take hold and spread around the world. Many of the specs of the new tablets are the same among the devices. They all sport Android 4.0, a 5 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SD card reader, and USB 2.0 port, they vary in processors, resolution, and screen size.

Android 4.0.4 update hits Verizon owners of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Five month ago, Verizon released the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It is Verizon's first (and still their only) Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone, which came with Android 4.0.2 on-board. Though the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE will also come with ICS once it is released. It's hard to believe that it has took this long, but it appears that the anticipated update to Android 4.0.4 has now started to hit Verizon customers with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, though it was rumored that it was going to start earlier this week. The official Build Number is IMM76K and should be available for over-the-air update on your Galaxy Nexus starting today.  But often times updates are rolling, which means it may not hit every phone at once. If you are looking to update the device manually, or happen to be rooted, you can...
