    Blah blah blah. More lawsuits. Anyway, Apple is after Nokia for patent infringement after Nokia sued over infringement against Apple. The Nokia case is over some smartphone technology and is a reaction to Nokia's request that Apple stop exporting the iPhone, iPod, and MacBooks.

    There will be a DJ Hero 2. Yes, I realize that saying that—Activision will make a sequel to one of its games—is akin to saying earthquakes are bad, or that candy is delicious, but there you have it. The sequel was confirmed as part of a contest.

    Talk about targeted marketing. A new ad published by Sprint (right) is forward enough to include the word “iPhone” in big, bold letters. Similar to Microsoft’s Laptop Hunter ads, which bash Apple for its premium computer prices, the Sprint ad plays up the Palm Pre smartphone by stressing how much money iPhone customers can save by [...]

    Psion relents: ‘netbook’ ok to describe chubby cheap laptops lacking power

    Posted on June 1, 2009 | No Comments
    As the world's attention turns from netbooks to smartbooks, Psion and Intel have ceased battle over use of the former term. Remember, this ridiculous case escalated to the point of Psion claiming $1.2 billion (billion!) in damages suffered as a result of infringement on its netbook trademark for a product few have heard of outside of the highly specialized supply chain logistics area. The "amicable" agreement reached with Intel has Psion voluntarily withdrawing its trademark. What wasn't said in the press release is how much money was extorted from the industry or the net effect on Psion sales from all the free publicity. Regardless, we're sure it's been a profitable exercise for Psion Teklogix. Now, could the obscure owner of the "smartbook" trademark please step forward to collect your prize?
