| Apple officially shuts down MobileMe and iWork.com Posted: 01 Aug 2012 03:25 PM PDT
Apple has officially closed the door on its MobileMe cloud service today. The move comes after a several month-long transition period that allowed users to move their accounts to iCloud and download their remaining files. As of this morning, the MobileMe site no longer offers users the option to transfer their accounts over to iCloud, or download their remaining data. Instead, MobileMe visitors are redirected to the existing iCloud website…(...) "Apple officially shuts down MobileMe and iWork.com" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| New report offers more information about Apple-Twitter talks Posted: 01 Aug 2012 01:30 PM PDT
Last week, news broke that Apple had, at one point, been in talks with Twitter over a massive investment in the social network. The report described the move as a “strategic investment” believed to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Initially, it was believed that these negotiations had taken place in recent months. But a rebuttal by The Wall Street Journal claimed that it’s been more than a year since this happened. And today, The WSJ is back with more information…(...)

| Martin Scorsese Siri ad gets the parody treatment Posted: 01 Aug 2012 01:05 PM PDT
Last week, Apple started airing a new Siri commercial featuring the popular film director Martin Scorsese. The ad was the fourth in a string of celebrity spots focused on the digital assistant. Unsurprisingly, a parody video has just been made to poke fun at the ad. You’ve seen “The Samuel L. Jackson ad you were hoping for.” Now, here’s “Scorsese’s alternate iPhone commercial…”(...)

| Poll: is Samsung’s F700 an iPhone copy? Posted: 01 Aug 2012 12:56 PM PDT
An interesting argument arose in the Apple-Samsung litigation related to Samsung's F700 handset. As you know, Samsung sought to present this and other handsets – but the F700 in particular – as trial evidence of prior art that they were designing handsets akin to the iPhone before Apple got to announce its phone in January of 2007. Judge Lucy Koh excluded that device and a bunch of other Samsung phones from the hearings, but Samsung defiantly publicized the slides yesterday, angering the Judge. Apple had originally included the F700 as patent infringing in its suit, but later dropped it as it realized Samsung was working on this before the iPhone was released and especially after learning that Samsung applied for a South Korean design registration application in December of 2006, a month before the iPhone's public unveiling. Kill me but I just don’t see any similarities between the F700 and the iPhone, especially not ones that could establish prior art for either party. Maybe you do?(...)

| Apple’s head mobile chip designer leaves for AMD Posted: 01 Aug 2012 12:05 PM PDT
Back in June we learned that Bob Mansfield, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware, would be retiring. Bob has been a familiar face on Apple’s executive team for several years, and an integral part of the success of the iPhone and iPad. And now it looks like Apple is losing another important piece of its iOS squad. A new report is out today claiming that Jim Keller, Apple’s lead chip designer, is leaving the company to take a new position at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)…(...)

| Samsung: we went public with excluded exhibits because you asked for it Posted: 01 Aug 2012 10:25 AM PDT
As we reported yesterday, Samsung has gotten itself in some hot water with Judge Lucy Koh who strongly condemned its attorneys’ decision to influence the jurors by publicizing previously excluded evidence. Samsung was hoping to sway the court of public opinion by releasing a set of slides and a media release which it hoped to use in the litigation to establish that Apple sough inspiration for the iPhone’s design from Sony, as its product chief suggested in a pre-trial interview. The Judge demanded that Samsung’s legal team reveal who exactly drafted the press release and who authorized it. The Galaxy maker today filed a brief responding to Judge Koh’s request which explains Samsung’s reasoning behind the unusual move… "Samsung: we went public with excluded exhibits because you asked for it" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| iPad’s popularity pushes Apple to 19 percent share of global PC shipments Posted: 01 Aug 2012 09:56 AM PDT
If you count iPads as PCs, as research firm Canalys does, Apple had the biggest single impact on growth rates in worldwide PC shipments during the second quarter of this year, surging to a cool 19 percent global market share. In fact, if it weren’t for Apple’s tablet, shipments of desktops, netbooks, notebooks and tablets would have probably experienced a decline rather than a solid twelve percent year-on-year growth. Strong sales of the new iPad, which went on sale mid-March in the U.S. and nine additional countries, along with a $100 price decrease for the 16GB WiFi iPad 2, were cited as major growth drivers for the whole PC market…(...)

| Why carriers push Android handsets over iPhone Posted: 01 Aug 2012 09:07 AM PDT
In what looks to have become an industry-wide practice in the United States (and some other parts of the world), carrier AT&T reportedly instructed its retail staff to aggressively push Android handsets in place of iPhones. The policy has already contributed to a notable drop in the iPhone’s share in AT&T’s overall handset numbers, with Apple’s device falling from as much as 80 percent of smartphone sales at one AT&T store to between 50 and 60 percent share. It’s not just AT&T, other carriers prefer Android wireless products, too, and here’s why…(...) "Why carriers push Android handsets over iPhone" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.
