The bad news for Android, this infringing software is at the core of the Android OS and there is no easy workaround like many of the other patent suits that have gone in Apple's favor. Could this mean the end of the line for the top selling smartphone OS?

 

Patent at the core of Android interpreted in Apple's favor

Giving Google time to rewrite/reimplement anything necessary unless this is one of those brain-dead "Rectangular screen for phone purposes" type of super generic patents then there might be a chance of it being thrown out.

 

IANAL

This has the potential to get bloody. Google would almost have to jump in. I'm sure Google, Samsung, Motorola, LG etc are all calculating the risk/reward. After this victory, Apple is going to have that much more tenacity going after Android. They tasted blood, now they will be going for the kill.

It could happen that Android has to pay Apple in some certain way.

That`s what Apple is more than likely wanting anyway.

 

Then there is Tizen.

An open source platform that Samsung and Intel is working on.

It could be everything that Android wasn`t and then some.

 

Regardless we will have open source.

That`s true

Jobs did hate Android !

 

He couldn`t find anything innovative ...

So let`s sue!

 

Like putting two boxers in the ring.

If one opponent wins- the loser sues the winner!

 

GOD I HATE APPLE ! bunch of sore losers!

You can tell it's a Samsung product. Sure gives me TouchWiz flashbacks. Thanks for the post. I hadn't heard of Tizen at all. And to think I'm supposed to be a tech journalist...even if just a pretend one.

I'd say Sony would be the company able to build a successful OS the quickest. Give it the ability to connect with PS3, some games from their library and work on using it to interconnect all the Sony home entertainment equipment like google has been trying to do for years with Android @ home and you have the #5 operating system...

More than likely...

Sony has it`s hands in everything (even under assuming names)

Even though they did nothing to help the Android OS.

 

Samsung is the one that stepped up and polished Android !

 

If I were to choose an OS from Sony or Samsung as it is to date.

I`d go with Samsung.

 

That could change. You never know with technology.

I'd hate to lose sony as an android player. They make some great hardware. Great cameras and still add a dedicated camera button.

 

Sonys problem right now is they are slow in development.

 

The Sony ion for example is a great phone. But specs wise it will almost be outdated before it is released.

    • T‑Mobile Shatters World Record for 5G Uplink Speed https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-shatters-for-5g-uplink-speed The biggest news in this is that T-Mobile only recently got access to n258 after swapping their n260 for it with AT&T and they wasted no time deploying it at SoFi Stadium. Hopefully that means we're gonna start seeing a lot more mmWave deployments in stadiums soon. *fingers crossed*
    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
