Its’s time to screw Android makers : Apple

iOS definitely got some huge user base but Apple’s not done with it. In recentness, we had heard of Motorola suing Apple regarding infringement of 20 patents. Obviously, Apple was going to respond and the answer comes in form of two lawsuits.

What Apple Says : Moto has infringed 6 patents ranging from Multi-Touch to OS. Products affected include Android phones Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq, Cliq XT, BackFlip, Devour A555, Devour i1, and Charm. Apple has especially focused on the OS part and that’s from where we derive our headlines.

Apple has been trying to suppress two of the leading Android based phone producers, Motorola and HTC with awful lot of lawsuits. At one point of time, Google will also have to step in as the patents target the OS. What possibly could be the “real thing” behind these claims is the strategy to ruin Google and their partner mobile companies relations.

Every second phone released in the market today is running on Android. Not specifically thought but collectively, these phones could endanger iOS and iPhone market share. So be it this way, we’re going to screw them : Apple.

Head over to Engadget and Patently Apple for more details on the story.

Android’s silly mistake could mess up your Droid’s security

Guy’s at TechCrunch found a security flaw in Motorola Droids running on Android 2.0.1 Why you ask?

Well, if you come across the phone’s lock screen there’s this lock mechanism which is pretty cool to play with it, but there is a serious bug which allows anyone now knowing the verification code to get access to your cellphone data.

If you get there is incoming call then simply pressing the dedicated back button then it takes you to the home screen bypassing the security code, so now you can play with anyone’s data.

We know. Google also knows and they are working on it. Hopefully, the solution should come out as fast as next week!

Videocon to buy Motorola’s handset division?

According to a report of indian newspaper “business standard” is likely to buy Motorola’s handset division. According to the report, Videocon CEO Venugopal Dhoot said today that his company was already in initial stage talks with Motorola.
Motorola’s cell phone division maybe around US$3.8 billion.Videocon announced recently that they plan to launch their own telecom network in India, so getting even just a bit of Motorola will be a perfect mix. We don’t know for sure what will happen with the talks between Videocon and Moto, but we do hope that all ends well for both parties. And for us users, too, of course.
