Apple has filed an injunction against Samsung to stop US sales of the Galaxy nexus on the basis that the GN violates the following patents held by apple:

  1. the “data tapping” patent based on which the ITC ordered an import ban against HTC
  2. a patent related to Siri and unified search, which must be of huge concern to Google with a view to its core business
  3. a new slide-to-unlock patent that even had the head of the Taiwanese government profoundly worried
  4. a word completion patent that provides major speed improvements for touchscreen text entry

Sprint better hurry up and release the Nexus because I want one before it gets banned!

It would be a darn shame if Apple ends up blocking Sprint's first LTE device from market.

A darn shame is a g rated version of what I feel about it...

:rofl: You know I'm beyond pissed if you ever see my posts go beyond a G rating. But it does happen occasionally.

I can't imagine such frivolous lawsuits actually making enough headway to result in an import ban...

fact that they were awarded that freaking slide unlock patent not even a year ago is a crime in itself...

 

Also knowing that a Dutch court has already ruled that particular patent invalid has to be promising at the least bit for that portion..

also in this article i found it funny someone took the time to list a TON of other very similar patents dealing with gestures on screens. lol

*As for the one against HTC I remember HTC commenting on that one saying that it was a simple fix for them to go around it and it was not a big issue. That patent they have till April 19th to fix anyway I'm pretty sure.

And apple is trying to get a patent on face unlock, which is only available on Android 4.0 right now. I guess if they get that patent, we know that apple has someone in their pocket.

yeah they the stuff i added to my post shows they actually applied for the slide unlock a year before the iphone even came out. BUT also mentioned in that article a particular Dutch court ruled it invalid b/c this other phone had the feature out before that patent was even filed...

Hello. New to the forums. I just want to add I'm

hoping Google was smart enough to put that patent on lock.

 

By now everyone should know how famous Apple has become for using others ideas & claiming it as their own.

Welcome to the forums! I haven't seen anything about Google applying for a patent, but I hope they do.

There was a article somewhere that showed the US Patent office having a major display exhibition on Apple. Adds more fuel to the fire of people that claim the US patent office is bias. In one of the exhibits it showed Apple patenting a staircase.

This site makes me sick to my stomach. :puke: Now the iPad is classified as a TV, :wall:

Anyway the article about the US patent showcasing / doing an exhibit on Apple is here.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
