| RIM confirms new phones, BlackBerry 10 OS is essentially complete Posted: 14 Aug 2012 03:49 PM PDT
Good news for fans of Research In Motion: the embattled BlackBerry maker may soon see some much-needed light at the end of a long tunnel as the company has confirmed putting finishing touches on the way overdue BlackBerry 10 operating system. RIM also has some new phones and they’re all done, too. Yesterday, RIM's new CEO Thorsten Heins agitated spirits with news that his company is actively seeking partners to license BlackBerry 10 software, which was unveiled three months ago. It would mark a significant departure for RIM as the company never allowed a third-party to make BlackBerry-certified handsets. Today, Heins reveals a couple more tidbits on the state of the BlackBerry platform…(...) "RIM confirms new phones, BlackBerry 10 OS is essentially complete" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Samsung designer: we didn’t copy Apple’s icons Posted: 14 Aug 2012 02:46 PM PDT
Attorneys for Apple embarrassed Samsung last week by showing the jurors half a dozen images meant to prove that the Galaxy maker shamelessly ripped off the look of the iPhone’s icons. Though Apple believes that Samsung's TouchWiz interface makes it a copycat, that’s ultimately up for the jury to decide. Today, a Samsung designer took the stand to testify that she didn't copy Apple when creating the icons for the Galaxy line of products. Call me stupid, but how the heck then she’d managed to come up with icon design that strikingly resembles Apple’s?(...)

| Sprint now offering $100 gift card with $149 iPhone 4S purchase Posted: 14 Aug 2012 02:02 PM PDT
With the new iPhone event just a few weeks away, retailers have started to heavily discount current models of the handset in an effort to clear inventory and maintain sales during the lull. Best Buy and Target are currently knocking $50 off all models of the iPhone 4 and 4S, starting as low as $49.99. And Sprint has just sweetened the deal with a $100 AER gift card…(...)

| Fragmentation? Here’s your iOS platform matrix Posted: 14 Aug 2012 01:52 PM PDT
A developer took it upon himself to create a handy chart with all of Apple’s iOS devices, their key hardware characteristics and iOS software builds running. Even a brief glance reveals very little fragmentation as approximately 70 percent of all iOS devices in the wild are shown running iOS 5, the latest public version of Apple’s mobile operating system. The upcoming iOS 6 is already on five percent of devices in the wild and iOS 4 is still found on approximately ten percent of devices. On the hardware front, both the third-generation iPod touch/iPhone and newer plus all iPad models run on the ARMv7 application processor. This makes software optimization much easier than on the Android platform, where a variety of form factors, hardware configurations and device models contribute to high fragmentation….(...)

| Chart shows all of Apple’s patent claims against Samsung Posted: 14 Aug 2012 01:14 PM PDT
On the surface, Apple’s beef with Samsung is fairly easy to understand. Apple feels that Samsung has intentionally copied the design of its smartphones and tablets, and it wants justice (along with compensation). But in reality, Apple’s claims are much more complicated. They involve four design patents, three feature patents, and around 20 different Samsung devices that Apple believes are infringing on its inventions…(...)

| Apple granted patent for rumored in-cell display tech Posted: 14 Aug 2012 11:01 AM PDT
Among the many changes we’re expecting to see in Apple’s new smartphone, one of them is a reduction in thickness. The new handset is said to be noticeably thinner than its predecessor. So how is Apple going to pull this off while still adding things like LTE and a larger display? By doing things like reducing the size of the charging port, and using in-cell touchscreen tech…(...)

| Video shows off the Pebble wristwatch user interface Posted: 14 Aug 2012 10:08 AM PDT
Pebble, an iPhone-connected wristwatch, made rounds earlier this year.

It also has a software development kit and features an e-paper display viewable in direct sunlight, a built-in accelerometer and a battery that will last you a staggering 7 days. And now, the folks behind this interesting Kickstarter project have decided to show off an early beta of the Pebble’s gorgeous user interface…(...)

| Apple shipped nearly 7 out of every 10 tablets in Q2 Posted: 14 Aug 2012 08:19 AM PDT
Joining Strategy Analytics and IDC, research firm IHS iSuppli today published findings of its second-quarter tablet research. No surprises here, Apple’s iPad remain the tablet to beat as Apple grew its tablet market share from 58.0 percent in the year-ago quarter to 69.9 percent in the second quarter of this year. It’s the highest number since the first quarter of last year, when Apple had a 70 percent share. Making Apple’s surge even more noteworthy is the fact that a year ago Apple had fewer competitors in the marketplace…(...)
